Vintage Chinese Poetry Motto Poster

Generates an aged Chinese calligraphy quote poster with a banknote-like layout, woodblock ocean illustration, seals, and structured classical poetry annotations.

Prompt
Goal: Create a horizontal vintage Chinese literary motto poster with the feeling of an old banknote, rubbing print, and ancient book page, centered on a classical poetry quote about courage and timing. Canvas: Wide 16:9 composition, aged warm ivory rice-paper background with subtle fibers, foxing, stains, ink speckles, and worn edges. Add a distressed double-line black border around the full image, uneven like hand-printed ink. Layout: At the very top center, place a tiny catalog line reading “— 中国诗词座右铭 01 —”. The left half contains the main calligraphy headline and quote; the right half contains a blue-black woodblock illustration of a sailboat riding large waves with stylized clouds and wind lines. The bottom third is a framed information strip divided into exactly 3 rectangular columns. Text content: Use exactly these main Chinese texts unless customized. Large headline in rough black calligraphy: 长风破浪. Beneath it, two-line brush calligraphy quote: 长风破浪会有时,\n直挂云帆济沧海. Bottom left column title: “· 作者出处 ·” with text “李白《行路难》”. Bottom center column title: “· 关键词 ·” with text “志向 / 时机 / 出发”. Bottom right column title: “· 金句逻辑 ·” with smaller text “在低谷中先守住信念,\n等风来时也要主动扬帆。” Bottom center footer in small serif English: “MOTTO FROM CLASSICAL CHINESE POETRY / 01 OF 10”. Visual style: Ancient Chinese printed ephemera, silver-ticket aesthetic, monochrome black ink with muted navy blue waves and small cinnabar-red seals. The typography should look like authentic hand-brushed Chinese calligraphy, rough, broken, grainy, and stamped, not clean digital type. Use fine engraved linework for the boat, waves, clouds, and decorative icons. Subject details: Include exactly 1 sailboat with a tall mast and raised sail, exactly 3 major wave crests around it, exactly 4 stylized cloud clusters or wind-cloud motifs in the upper right illustration area, and exactly 5 red seal elements: one vertical oval seal near the upper right, one small square seal near the headline on the left, one square seal inside the bottom-left column, one round seal inside the bottom-right column, and one tiny seal-like mark near the left quote area. Include exactly 3 bottom information columns, each with a small icon: left a mountain-like emblem, center a circular wave emblem, right a red round stamp. Composition and constraints: Leave generous negative space in the center, keep all text legible, preserve the handmade misregistration and ink-rubbing texture, avoid modern gradients, glossy effects, photorealism, neon colors, or extra decorative text. The image should feel like “a thought specimen rubbed onto paper” and “a motto awakened from an old book.”
