## Prompt

```text
A traditional Chinese calligraphy painting on aged tan xuan paper, landscape orientation, styled like an antique literati hanging scroll reproduction. The main composition is a large block of bold black semi-cursive to cursive brush calligraphy arranged in 10 vertical columns, read right to left, featuring the poem title at the top of the rightmost main column as {poem_title}. The calligraphy should feel elegant, fluid, and expressive, with varied ink density, dry-brush texture, thick and thin stroke transitions, and natural hand-written spacing rather than perfect typesetting. Use the visible poem text as written in the image, including its inaccuracies, with the right-side main columns beginning: “寒蝉凄切，对长亭晚，骤雨初歇。都门帐饮无绪，留恋处，兰舟催发，执手相看泪眼，竟无语凝噎。念去去，千里烟波，暮霭沉沉楚天阔。多情自古，雷情自古伤离别，更那堪冷冷宵，酒醒倦兼芊？杨柳岸，晓风残月。此去经年良宰，经年，应是良辰好景。便纵有千种风情，更与何人说？” Place a narrower signature column on the far left with 1 vertical inscription reading {signature_text}. Add 4 red seals total: 1 oval collector-style seal near the upper right margin and 3 square seals stacked vertically near the lower left inscription area. Include a faint monochrome ink-wash landscape in the lower right corner with 1 drooping willow tree and 1 small pavilion by the water, partially faded into the paper. The paper should have warm brown aging, subtle stains, mottling, foxing, worn edges, and a museum-photograph feel. Overall mood is refined, poetic, historical, and scholarly, like a Song-dynasty-inspired calligraphy artwork photographed flat in soft even light.
