Create one exceptional, completely flat regional ceramic-print artwork. This is the actual printable illustration, never a cup, product photograph, mockup, presentation board or simulated ceramic surface. The collection reference controls drawing language only: invent a new composition for the specified region and replace all Guangdong-specific objects. The source map supplies a regional inventory, not a paper texture or a layout to trace literally.

TECHNICAL CONTRACT: native canvas exactly 3840 x 1280 pixels, true RGBA PNG. Keep every visible mark, letter, ornament and antialiased edge inside x=60..3780 and y=110..1170. The final delivery will use a centered 3840 x 1152 export for a 250 x 75 mm wrap; leave the native safety area completely transparent. Compose for a long horizontal physical print, not a conventional poster. Nothing is cut off at either end. All exterior space and meaningful holes between objects must have alpha zero. No painted background, white underpainting, sky rectangle, tinted paper, land silhouette, colour fog, opaque backdrop or checkerboard. The wearer-visible ceramic supplies the unprinted space. Use the specified colours as ink, with normal edge antialiasing; do not invent extra white, black or metallic ink. Never print dimensions, crop marks, palette swatches, filenames, reference names or instructions.

ART DIRECTION: create a memorable hierarchy, a major focal scene and a quieter counterweight; alternate large close forms with medium stories and a few small discoveries. Let tea life interact with the region. Connect selected objects through a real roofline, tabletop, lane, ridge or river contour; retain clear breathing channels so each gesture and vessel is legible. Do not impose any percentage of empty space. Avoid both a cramped rectangular carpet and timid isolated stickers. Use confident, intentional linework that will survive the 75 mm print height. Limit texture to useful material clues. Any water, snow, steam or clouds are sparse outlines with transparent interiors, never washed fills. No photographic gradients, glow, heavy grunge, blurred edges or tiny illegible hatch fields.

FACTUAL DISCIPLINE: the scenes below distinguish cultivation, processing, trade, hospitality and non-tea infusions. Do not turn imported tea, berries, ginseng, barley, trees or grasslands into tea plantations. Do not invent a local tea cultivar, a named historic tea shop, medical effects, a precise trade route or archaeological evidence. Landmarks are cultural/geographic motifs, not assertions that tea was grown or traded at their gates. A contemporary tea pause next to a landmark is an authored scene, not a documentary historical claim. Keep people natural and respectful, with plausible hands and gestures; use no decorative pseudo-script.


C5: BOLD FRIENDLY LANDMARK PARADE. Confident rounded pen turns, double-contour regional lettering, reduced architectural silhouettes and a joyful procession of people, local travel motifs, vessels and landmarks. Three flat inks and spare patches of colour. Vary height and scale sharply; objects overlap through useful shared contours rather than being pasted in one equal-sized row. Tea must remain a visible living action in this mixed regional collection. Rounded does not mean infantile, and friendly does not mean generic.

REGION: Heilongjiang. Exact ink palette: #23465F, #BC4551, #6D99AF. The first colour supplies the main line; the others have deliberate separate roles, not gradients.

AUTHENTIC SUBJECT MATTER:
Build northern identity from the curved-domed St Sophia facade and one arched Harbin streetfront, a compact ice-palace silhouette, the broad open Songhua river curve, a small steam locomotive, a timber Mohe cabin and angular aurora ribbons drawn only as open lines. Add a red-crowned crane above reeds at Zhalong, an Amur tiger at a forest edge, two Wudalianchi volcanic rims, and a narrow Jingpo waterfall. Heihe can be a small waterside quay, never an asserted Tea Road terminus. Use northern forest trees sparsely so the print remains readable. Do not reproduce the source map as a solid snowy territory. Tea trade and hospitality are the everyday foreground; wildlife and buildings form the regional counterpoint.

Tea anchors that remain visible: a samovar with brewing teapot, imported loose-leaf weighing and tasting, a traveller pouring tea from a thermos, and a clearly separate small berry infusion.

SPECIFIC COMPOSITION:
The parade is led by an oversized warm samovar and two unequal glasses, then a friendly steam locomotive climbs gently toward the double-contour HEILONGJIANG word. The train runs below part of the title; St Sophia and an ice tower form dissimilar upper accents. A single tiger strides toward the forest-cabin counterweight, while a crane on one leg supplies an elegant tall interruption near the opposite end. A tea seller with scoop and a thermos-pouring traveller keep the graphic world human. The small berry glass is a distinct final discovery. Avoid cartoon snowflakes and repeated identical fir trees.

VISIBLE TYPE: exact main title "HEILONGJIANG" once. The regional title is the only printed text. Do not add small location labels. No Chinese characters, bilingual captions, pseudo-calligraphy, gibberish, slogans, logos or signatures. Prioritize visual storytelling over words. Do not allow letters to merge with foliage or buildings. The design must feel like a collectible regional artwork that a tea professional would want to handle and study.
