## Prompt

```text
Create a highly detailed vertical historical illustration of an old Chinese silk and brocade shop, titled conceptually {shop_name}. The scene is viewed from inside the richly carved wooden shop looking out toward a sunlit traditional street. Use a refined painterly style with realistic proportions, intricate linework, warm sepia and muted gold tones, like a late-Qing/Republic-era historical illustration. Canvas is tall portrait, about 9:16. Show exactly 3 prominent human figures: 1 front-left male silk merchant in a dark brown traditional robe, hair tied in a topknot, leaning over a counter and lifting an ornate brocade roll; 1 midground male assistant or customer in a blue robe holding an open ledger and brush; 1 right-side woman outside the doorway in a red-orange robe holding a basket. Their faces should be deliberately obscured by smooth rectangular tan blur blocks with no facial features. In the background street, include a few softly painted pedestrians and traditional white-walled buildings with curved tiled roofs, kept small and atmospheric. The main object is a large unrolled silk brocade on the counter in {fabric_color}, covered with dense phoenix, cloud, floral, and scrolling patterns, metallic highlights, and embroidered texture. The shop interior should contain carved wooden shelves on the left packed with many visible fabric bolts, stacked folded textiles, rolled silk bundles, lacquered boxes, and small drawers; add hanging lanterns, carved lattice windows, painted wall panels, a bead curtain or tasseled shade near the doorway, and soft sunlight entering from the right. On the counter include exactly 8 types of visible shop objects: an abacus, a ceramic tea cup, a small porcelain bowl, paper tags and receipts, a string-tied bundle of documents, a metal lockbox, a decorative textile chest, and measuring tools. Emphasize antique craftsmanship, layered textiles, dust motes, warm backlighting, and dense historical detail. Avoid modern objects, electric lighting, readable signage, western clothing, and any clean digital UI elements.
