新疆 — 道路交汇处的茶

Create a flat souvenir-cup wrap of XINJIANG. Follow the TWO photos of real Guangzhou and Hong Kong cups: confident hand-drawn outlines, open unpainted interiors, small flat color accents and charming regional stories. The photos control the style. No mug, photograph, ceramic background, handle, company name or logo.

OUTPUT: RGBA PNG, native 3840 x 1280 px. Top and bottom 64 px alpha-zero; central 3840 x 1152 px is the final 250 x 75 mm artwork. Keep all marks safely inside. Empty areas and unfilled object interiors must be transparent, never white, cream or paper-colored. No background rectangle or checkerboard.

LINE FIRST. One clean, assured, slightly handmade dark-adobe contour per form, approximately 5-7 px at native size. Only THREE TO FIVE simple interior detail marks per object. Flat two-dimensional drawing like the reference cups. Large walls, animal bodies, yurt felt, mountains and pots stay mostly OPEN AND UNFILLED. Three inks only: dark adobe #714637 for contours; ochre #D4A744 and muted turquoise #69A9A7 for SMALL, sharply bounded accents: a door panel, saddle stripe, bowl rim or grape cluster. Color occupies a small part of a subject, not its whole body. Outline leaves with very few marks. No watercolor, brown wash, haze, cream fill, shading, soft edges, parchment, grain, dense hatch, crosshatching, stippled surfaces, gradients or shadows.

TEXT: exactly one large word, XINJIANG, high in the middle. Clean hand-drawn uppercase serif letters with open interiors and no texture. No other words, numbers, city names, Chinese, signatures, lettering on parcels or pseudo-writing.

TEN DISTINCT EPISODES, varied in size, easy to read at 75 mm print height:
1. KASHGAR: a large open-line teahouse balcony with a few wooden posts. Below: a low tea table, kettle, two tea bowls and one naan. A small seated musician with a long-necked instrument sits beside it. No ornate lattice; this is a secular teahouse, not a mosque.
2. ILI: one large round yurt, transparent inside its outline. Outside: kettle, small milk pitcher, two handleless milk-tea bowls and three baursak pieces. One turquoise door accent. No cream felt fill.
3. URUMQI: a simple bazaar arch over a counter with two unlettered rectangular pressed-tea bricks and a small balance. Incoming tea commerce, not local cultivation.
4. TURPAN: two posts and a loose grapevine shade a low tea table with a pot, bowl and naan. Only two grape bunches and a handful of leaves; clear air under the arbor.
5. HOTAN: an open-line copper infusion pot, a carved wooden bowl indicated with three short marks, and one tiny rose sprig. Herbal infusion is distinct from leaf tea; no health claims.
6. TACHENG: a small low courtyard doorway, one bench and a tray of milk-tea bowls and baursak. Quieter and smaller than the yurt; no invented business sign.
7. CARAVAN: two Bactrian camels, each clearly TWO-HUMPED with four separate legs, simple tied travel bundles and one walking guide. Bodies unfilled; just an ochre saddle accent and two short dune curves.
8. MOUNTAINS: a compact outline of three snowy peaks, one grazing horse and a small eagle. Snow and sky transparent; no painted mountain panorama.
9. OASIS: three slender poplars beside two short river curves and a tiny turquoise water accent. Exactly one such group; no duplicate trees or lakes as filler.
10. EARTHEN HERITAGE: one tapered Turpan-type minaret beside a low adobe wall, a spare outline with only a few large brick marks. No dense architecture texture.

The six tea settings describe hospitality, herbal infusions and imported tea. Never show Xinjiang tea plantations, tea terraces or picking farmers. The caravan is a regional trade metaphor, not an exact dated tea shipment.

Arrange ten episodes with the irregular rhythm of the actual cup photos: three larger anchors, medium architecture, smaller tea stories, different heights and generous clear channels. Use the whole strip. No even sticker grid, equal badges, panels, continuous ground or scenery backdrop. Light, crisp, simple and collectible. Stop before adding decorative detail. Deliver only transparent artwork.
