## Prompt

```text
A photograph of a piece of aged, slightly textured paper featuring traditional Chinese calligraphy and an ink wash painting. The upper and left portions of the paper are filled with handwritten Chinese text in elegant running script, with the centered title "{title_text}" and the author "{author_name}" written next to it. The text flows across multiple lines, resembling a classical poem. Integrated into the bottom right section of the paper is a traditional Chinese ink wash painting depicting {painting_subject}. A single pale full moon hangs in the sky, casting a shimmering reflection on the rippling water below. In the foreground, there is {boat_details}. A single square red seal stamp is stamped in the extreme bottom right corner. The image has a warm, historical aesthetic, capturing the authentic look of ink on traditional rice paper.
