# Anhui — facts, map, and seven compositions

Research date: 2026-10-04. Map viewed visually. Prompts prepared; images are not declared completed or approved by this document.

## Inventory of the source map

Map labels: Fuyang, Bengbu, Huai River, Hefei, Lu’an, Lake Chaohu, Maanshan, Wuhu, Yangtze River, Anqing, Tongling, Dabie Mountains, Qimen, Jiuhuashan, Huangshan. Images: northern plain; low tea slopes and Dabie pickers; Lake Chaohu; sailing river junk; old stone arch bridge; white Huizhou houses with black stepped gables; sharp granite peaks of Huangshan and pines; Jiuhua mountain temple; southern tea terraces. The name of the unlabeled bridge and pavilion cannot be established from the map.

## Tea territories and fact separation

Two different tea systems: western Dabie — Lu’an/Jinzhai Guapian, Huoshan Huangya, Yuexi Cuilan; southern — Huangshan Maofeng/Fuxi, Taiping Houkui/Houkeng, Qimen black tea, Xiuning Songluo, Shitai; eastern Xuancheng/Jingxian — Yongxi Huoqing and neighboring green teas. Guapian is depicted as individual leaves without buds, Houkui as a long flattened leaf, Maofeng as a tender shoot, Qimen as twisted black tea. Huoshan is a yellow tea technology, not a yellow plant variety. Tongcheng Xiaohua is another local green cluster. Hefei, Wuhu, and northern cities are urban life/commerce; do not turn the entire northern plain into tea plantations. Longevity/medicinal motifs from tourist descriptions of Shitai are excluded.

## Seven independent solutions

- **C1: Leaf, fire and granite.** The long Houkui leaf and the large roasting basket set the scale for the whole tea landscape.
- **C2: Five letters — different ways of making tea.** Craft movements weave into the word ANHUI, keeping the letters open and legible.
- **C3: Two mountain tea countries.** Western Dabie and southern Huangshan are connected by river and workshops, but do not merge.
- **C4: Courtyard, bridge and mountain pine.** The tea courtyard behind the old bridge links large architecture with mountain engraving.
- **C5: Gables, leaves and a river sail.** The double outline name is surrounded by large, friendly Anhui silhouettes.
- **C6: From mountain trail to river landing.** The pickers’ movement tilts into the lines of the bridge, workshop, and sail.
- **C7: Ten Things of Anhui.** Simple collection graphics with large tea tools and Huizhou houses.

## Technical and editorial boundaries

C1 uses the first two colors of the regional palette, C2–C3 all five, C4–C7 the first three. The background is truly transparent; there is no mandatory empty space percentage. C1–C6 is a coherent composition, C7 is 8–10 large simple groups. Only English text; C7 is only the region name. Master 3840 × 1280 px; final PNG RGBA 3840 × 1152 px, 250 × 75 mm.

The maps are an artistic source, not a geodetic plan. Symbolic proximity of scenes does not mean they are located on the same plot. The number of places explored is wider than the number of captions; the execution and quality of individual scenes are checked on the finished image. The prompt itself does not confirm the completeness of the result.
