## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a vintage Chinese classical-poetry motto poster with the texture of an old banknote, stone rubbing, and antique book page. The design should feel like a poetic thought specimen printed on aged paper, supported by ink marks, seals, and engraved illustration.

Canvas: Wide horizontal poster, 16:9 ratio, warm ivory rice-paper background with faint fibers, stains, speckles, and worn edges. Add a distressed double-line black border around the entire canvas, irregular like ink transferred from a rubbing.

Layout: At the very top center, place a small thin header reading {series_label}, flanked by short horizontal lines. The upper-left half contains the main calligraphy title in large rough black brush characters: {main_title}. Beneath the title, add a small red square seal and a short thin divider line. Below that, place the main quote in two bold handwritten Chinese lines: {quote_text}. The upper-right half contains an engraved blue-black illustration of a traditional sailboat riding large stylized ocean waves, with curling clouds and wind lines above it. Add one vertical red oval seal near the upper-right corner.

Bottom information band: Create one full-width rectangular band divided into exactly 3 equal boxed panels with thin black rules. Panel 1, left: include a small mountain icon, the label “作者出处”, the source text {source_text}, and a red square seal. Panel 2, center: include the label “关键词”, the keywords {keywords}, and a small circular wave icon. Panel 3, right: include the label “金句逻辑”, the explanatory text “在低谷中先守住信念，等风来时也要主动扬帆。” and a red round seal.

Footer: Centered below the three-panel band, add small serif English text: “MOTTO FROM CLASSICAL CHINESE POETRY / 01 OF 10”, with thin horizontal divider strokes on both sides.

Visual style: Monochrome black ink with muted navy blue in the wave illustration and dark red seal ink. Use rough letterpress edges, uneven ink coverage, stamped texture, grain, smudges, and slight misregistration. Typography should mix large expressive Chinese brush calligraphy, smaller Song/Ming-style Chinese type, and tiny serif English footer text. Keep the composition balanced, scholarly, restrained, and antique.

Constraints: Use exactly 3 bottom panels, exactly 4 red seals total, exactly 2 small blue-black icons in the bottom band, and exactly 1 sailboat illustration. Do not add modern UI elements, photography, gradients, neon colors, or extra decorative objects.
