江苏 — 茶艺之湖

Create an exceptional original flat illustration for a collectible tea-region ceramic wrap. The attached image is a STYLE reference, not a content reference: preserve its drawing intelligence, print character and relationship between title, scenes and empty glaze; replace every Guangdong-specific subject and word. Output one panoramic native 3840 x 1280 pixel PNG with a genuine RGBA alpha channel. All artwork, including lettering, must remain wholly inside x60..3780 and y110..1170. The upper and lower outside bands and the external negative space must be transparent, not white paint. The final production crop will be 3840 x 1152 pixels for a 250 x 75 mm wrap; do not draw dimensions, crop marks or a frame. No mug, mockup, photograph, simulated paper, decorative rectangular background, cast shadow, checkerboard or watermark.

DRAWING AND PRINT DISCIPLINE: Use confident authored linework, recognisable local silhouettes, selective flat colour and well-resolved hands, vessels and architecture. Details reward close looking but the main story reads across a small ceramic surface. Colour belongs to actual drawn objects or deliberate bounded accents. Transparent sky, river openings, architectural gaps and open vessel interiors are part of the design. Do not use a continuous opaque landscape base, atmosphere wash, cream substrate or enormous filled silhouette behind everything. Keep deliberate pauses between major masses without making a sticker sheet. Never cut off a letter, roof, person, handle or tree at the image boundary. Do not scatter repeated generic teapots as filler. Each featured tea action must communicate a different part of the region's tea story. This is an illustrated interpretation, not a navigable map: no compass, coordinate grid, dotted connectors, numbered pins, legend or tiny labels.

COLLECTION C3 — LIVING TEA TERRITORY.
Five-colour illustrated tea territory, richly connected with a real regional river, ridge, street or courtyard procession as its organising spine. One large near tea action, a substantial counterweight and smaller midground scenes form three depths. Neighbouring episodes share real ground contours or architectural parts; there is no two-row grid or detached sticker arrangement. Strong condensed regional title fits the lower rhythm without acting as an opaque footer. Warm human storytelling, controlled decorative detail and selective flat accents.

REGION: JIANGSU. EXACT PALETTE: #355653, #B47985, #82A590, #C69D4C, #6B85A3. Use only these opaque graphic inks and their clean antialiased edges; no white ink, black substitution or extra colours. Transparent negative space is not an additional ink.

An open lake inlet is the centre of a lively tea territory. Dongshan and Xishan slopes frame it with fruit trees among tea shrubs and a picker carrying tender leaves. At near left a Biluochun maker shapes curls in a pan; near right a Yixing potter assembles a clay vessel. Beyond the water a Nanjing tea workshop presents fine needle leaves, while a small Lianyungang hill garden is the far counterweight. A Yangzhou table with host and guest closes the foreground loop, showing just a small plate of refreshments, not a food feast.

REGIONAL TRUTH: Dongting Biluochun belongs to Dongshan and Xishan/Jinting by Lake Taihu and its tea-fruit intercropping landscape. Its fine curled leaves are shaped by hand in a pan. Nanjing Yuhua is a needle-shaped green tea, not Biluochun. Yixing combines Yangxian tea production with a separate zisha teaware craft; pots are not grown or mass wheel-thrown as porcelain. Lianyungang has Yunwu tea. Yangzhou's tea-table culture and tea refreshments provide a hospitality counterpart. Keep these distinct growing, processing, vessel-making and social functions visible. No medicinal effects or invented claim that the lake is itself planted with tea.

SPECIFIC COMPOSITION: The inlet, arched footbridge and open courtyard give natural clear glaze inside the connected image. Condensed JIANGSU sits along a lower garden wall, with no solid footer. Arrange hands large, buildings medium and tea hills small; never squeeze six identical mini-scenes into rows.

TEXT: Main title exactly "JIANGSU". Secondary labels, each once and attached to its correct scene: Dongting Biluochun; Yixing; Nanjing Yuhua; Lianyungang; Yangzhou. No other text.

FINAL ART DIRECTION: Make every major group different in scale and gesture. Do not give every scene a surrounding halo or a separate base. A viewer should discover a clear regional idea at arm's length and then human actions, leaf shapes and local building features nearby. Keep the specified palette visible as actual graphic inks, not merely a tint over green scenery. Do not add unrequested slogans, stamps, logos, dates, Chinese characters or gibberish. The exact allowed English words below are the entire text vocabulary. Keep secondary words comfortably readable if allowed; omit a minor caption rather than shrinking it to microscopic lettering. Render the regional title exactly once and complete, with comfortable space around it. No extra title repeated on vessels or buildings. Draw a finished cohesive piece of print art, never a presentation board.
