天津——茶壶与有趣的对话

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 C5 — LANDMARK PARADE.
Three-ink friendly collector illustration with bold relaxed rounded pen outlines and a memorable double-contour regional title. Draw a lively continuous procession with real changes of height, overlapping contour and unequal object scale. Tea workers, architecture and regional vessels participate in the same visual rhythm. Spare flat colour accents; interiors largely open. The connection must be a plausible local promenade, street, ridge or water route, not an arbitrary baseline of identical icons. Charming observational details without cartoon faces on objects.

REGION: TIANJIN. EXACT PALETTE: #255762, #A48235, #C67355. 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.

Begin with a large complete kettle carried by a tea server, followed by two guests at a small table and a lively xiangsheng pair with fan and stage table. The procession continues through Tianhou Palace eaves, a short Ancient Culture Street roof sequence, Wudadao facade, Jiefang Bridge and the open circle of Tianjin Eye. A merchant scale and plain tea packets accompany the first group. One clay figurine-maker adds a local craft accent; no food feast, advertising signs or theatrical masks instead of people.

REGIONAL TRUTH: Tianjin is a northern tea-trade and tea-drinking city, not a tea-growing province. Its established jasmine-tea merchants obtained and processed supplies in southern tea regions before bringing tea to Tianjin. Zhengxingde is documented evidence of this merchant culture, but no brand logo is needed. Qianxiangyi is a documented teahouse performance venue, supporting the combination of xiangsheng, tea tables and social listening. The Haihe, merchant architecture and port identify the city. Any tea stockroom in the artwork is an interpretive trade scene, not an invented named tea museum. Do not invent local tea fields, a special Hakka sweet tea or export-market statistics.

SPECIFIC COMPOSITION: Double-contour TIANJIN sits over the lower tea-and-stage centre. Building heights rise and fall, with the wheel set farther back and smaller than a full skyline monument. Use relaxed rounded outlines, a few three-ink flat patches and clean open interiors; avoid dense tiny city windows.

TEXT: Main title exactly "TIANJIN". Secondary labels, each once and attached to its correct scene: Jasmine Tea; Xiangsheng; Haihe; Tianjin Eye. 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.
