## Prompt

```text
Create a vertical cinematic restoration of an ancient Chinese ink-wash landscape painting in the style of refined Song dynasty shan shui art, with a tall 9:16 canvas on warm aged rice paper. Depict {landscape_subject} using layered beige, taupe, olive green, charcoal black, and soft sepia ink, combining traditional brushwork with subtle modern cinematic depth, atmospheric haze, and delicate film-grain texture. The composition should have monumental mist-covered mountain peaks receding into the background, a calm reflective river across the lower half, rocky islands and cliffs in the foreground, and dark pine trees with twisting branches framing the scene from the upper right and lower left. Include exactly 1 tiny human figure: a solitary traveler in an ochre robe and conical hat standing on a small rocky ledge near the lower center, facing the water and mountains. Include exactly 1 vertical calligraphy inscription near the upper left reading {calligraphy_text}, with exactly 1 small red square seal beneath or beside it, plus a few scattered red ink flecks across the paper. Use elegant negative space, soft fog, crisp black branch silhouettes, painterly rock striations, and gentle water reflections; make the image feel like a lovingly restored ancient scroll painting with cinematic lighting, high aesthetic quality, tranquil mood, and no modern objects, no frame, no watermark, no extra text.
```
