大朴在这幅作品中再次给我们描绘了一种“新”事物，经幡，这在南方地区是看不到的，可在青藏高原地区，这种文化十分普遍。在佛教文化里，人们为了宣传佛教以及祭神祈福，在五颜六色的布条上写满经文，穿在经藤上，让它随风飘扬。经幡在颜色顺序上很讲究，分别为蓝，白，红，绿，黄，分别象征蓝天，白云，火焰，绿水与大地。由于高原地区常因自然灾害影响众生，人们企盼人间太平幸福首先应该希望大自然无灾无祸，于是用经幡上五种不同颜色的幡条来表示这种心理依托。在表现手法方面，画家大朴先用小笔触表现草，再用大笔表现风吹的感觉，这一点在云朵上也能体现出来。作品整体充满豪迈与悲壮美，突出大西北地区的自然特征。
The practice of writing Indian Buddhist sutras on banners, which legend attributes to Shakyamuni Buddha, was transmitted to other regions, and came to Tibet about 1,000 years ago. Today, they decorate mountain ridges and high peaks, in the Himalayas. They come in five colors, denoting the five elements, and they have wood-block prints of prayers and images. These long ones are called lung ta, in Tibetan, meaning wind horse, and are hung in high places so that their blessing may be carried on the wind, which is purified by their words.
