Нинся — Чайное созвездие

Create NINGXIA as a crisp, two-ink collector print: three generous tea-related actions woven into one horizontal illustration. Follow the reference's precise drawn edges, never its region or objects. This is flat artwork for printing, not a mug, photograph, watercolour or product presentation.

OUTPUT: true RGBA PNG, 3840 x 1280 pixels. Keep every stroke and letter within x=120..3720, y=120..1160. A centered crop will produce 3840 x 1152, 250 x 75 mm. Unpainted exterior space and interior holes are alpha zero. No white background, paper, sky fill, tinted wash, glow, drop shadow or pale outline around the title. Use only #8B343F burgundy and #A28E42 muted gold as distinct printed inks. Burgundy contours; gold accents. Do not add black, white or gradients.

COMPOSITION: the three scenes share a long, gently bending serving counter and one slender irrigation-channel contour. There are no separate circular vignettes, stickers or boxes. The left third shows a Zhongning grower collecting elongated goji berries from ONE large readable branch into a shallow basket. Show a few large berries and narrow pointed leaves; do not pack the basket with hundreds of marks. The basket's rim leads directly into the middle scene.

At the middle counter a host sorts ingredients on one broad round bamboo tray: a modest heap of loose tea, a small group of goji berries, two red dates and several rock-sugar pieces. Treat this as one possible Babao mixture, not an authoritative fixed recipe. The host's hands separate the ingredients with a small spoon and bowl. Represent each heap with a boundary and a few internal marks. This is the main close-up, with generous readable shapes.

At the right side another host pours hot water from a clear-spouted metal kettle into a lidded gaiwan; a guest holds a small cup. Keep the gaiwan, lid, saucer, stream and two simple faces distinct. A short roofline behind them and two small poplars connect the counter to a quiet regional setting. Above the left branch, use one outline of Helan's ridgeline. Add one small Western Xia tomb silhouette behind the middle, below the title. Omit crowded monuments, dunes, trains and dense fields.

TEA LOGIC: Zhongning goji is local agriculture. Babao tea and Wuzhong hospitality are the tea context. Ordinary tea leaves are not claimed to grow in these dry hills. No Camellia plantation, health claims or medicinal imagery. Keep berries distinguishable from tea leaf.

DRAWING: confident 5–7 px primary contours, a few 3 px internal lines; hard, intentional shapes. Sparse short parallel engraving under the tray, under the kettle and on one sleeve. No overall tonal carpet. Faces have clean eyes, nose and mouth; architecture has a few straight edges. No mist, smudges, blur, distressed grain or translucent staining. Glass and water use outline and transparent openings.

TEXT: NINGXIA once, large elegant condensed capitals above the central tray. Only two smaller captions: ZHONGNING by the berry grower, BABAO TEA by the gaiwan. No additional captions, duplicate text, Chinese, logos or pseudo-writing. Keep every letter separate from the illustration.
