Please create a high-end art painting in Dunhuang mural style with {argument name="theme" default="flying apsara"} as the core. The composition uses {argument name="composition method" default="using the main character as the sole visual core"} to express the sacred moment of its core action/situation. The overall atmosphere should be {argument name="overall atmosphere" default="sacred, solemn, magnificent"}, possessing museum-level aesthetics, cultural depth, and collectible art feel.

Main character requirements:
The main character should present an elegant, solemn, slender, and noble temperament with strong divinity, stretched posture, and distinct Dunhuang mural-style sacredness and ritual sense. The face should be quiet, holy, subtle, and inviolable, with the solemn temperament of Dunhuang mural apsaras/bodhisattvas/flying apsaras, not ordinary ancient-style beauties.
Hair is elegantly updo, adorned with complex and exquisite gold jewelry crowns, bead chain step sways, earrings, necklaces, arm bracelets, waist ornaments, clothing is gorgeous, clothing lines are smooth, lines are fine and powerful, rich in flying apsara rhythm and court-level mural texture. Clothing sleeves, ribbons, skirt hems, and cuffs should form rhythmic flowing curves, enhancing the sense of sacred ascent and picture rhythm.

Gold structure requirements:
The painting needs to enhance structural gold use, not scattered gold dots, but forming a clear luxurious order:
The main character's crowns, jewelry, clothing edges, cuffs, waist belts, ribbon edge lines, and skirt patterns use gilded, mud gold, gilt gold, gold thread embroidery, damaged gold leaf traces;
Core sacred elements such as moon wheels/Buddha halos/dharma wheels/treasure canopies/lotus platforms, cloud patterns, lotus petals, treasure flowers, caisson patterns, round flower patterns, border decorations should also have clearly visible but restrained and high-grade gold decorations;
The overall effect should be magnificent but not vulgar, rich and exquisite but not cheap, showing the damaged luxury feel that still retains the magnificent afterglow after thousands of years of weathering.

Color requirements:
Colors are mainly ochre red, vermilion, cyan green, stone blue, stone green, earth yellow, ivory white, supplemented by restrained and exquisite earth gold, gilt gold.
The overall tone should be rich, thick, ancient, and noble, avoiding light and flashy candy colors.
The background can use background main color atmosphere, such as deep stone blue sky/warm ancient wall base color/dark gold mineral base color combined with ancient wall texture, setting off the sacredness and nobility of the main subject.

Decorative element requirements:
The painting can incorporate typical Dunhuang visual languages such as flying apsaras, lotus, treasure flowers, caissons, auspicious clouds, music-playing apsaras, round flower patterns, pavilions and palaces, dharma instruments, sacred light wheels, classical border decorations, but they must be concentrated around the main subject, with clear hierarchy, avoiding even coverage of the entire picture.
Supporting characters should be limited to a few, as praise and accompaniment, distributed around or below the main subject, forming a ritual sense of movement towards the main subject. They can have supporting actions such as holding lotus/playing pipa/blowing flute/offering flowers/holding lamps/carrying banners, lines light and flowing, echoing the main subject but not overshadowing it.

Space and composition requirements:
The composition should retain appropriate cloud space, sacred light blank space, moonlight or sky blank space, allowing the picture to breathe.
Core sacred elements need to be eye-catching, solemn, and complete, with possible gilt gold halos, sacred light wheels, fine gold line trajectories around, enhancing the sacredness of the theme.
In the distance, background elements can be dotted, such as moon palace pavilions/cloud palace pavilions/Buddha land architecture/immortal world sky, but not too many, to enhance spatial layers and immortal world atmosphere.

Material expression requirements:
Emphasis should be on ancient cave murals and mineral pigment textures:
Visible mottling, cracks, weathering, slight peeling, historical patina, powdered edges, ancient wall textures;
While retaining partial gilding, damaged gold leaf, and worn gilt gold luster, forming the high-grade art texture of "old but precious, damaged but magnificent, ancient and sacred".
Overall requirements: gorgeous, delicate, mysterious, solemn, unified, collectible, artistic, extremely high-grade feel.

Negative constraint words:
Avoid modern Chinese style, avoid commercial illustration feel, avoid ordinary ancient-style beauty illustrations, avoid anime feel, avoid internet celebrity aesthetics, avoid plastic texture, avoid cheap flashy gold, avoid gold that is too bright and vulgar, avoid fluorescent colors, avoid oversaturation, avoid too many people, avoid overfilled background elements, avoid even decoration coverage of the entire picture, avoid heavy floral feel, avoid unclear visual hierarchy, avoid non-prominent main subject, avoid low-end piling feel, avoid mediocrity, avoid frivolity, avoid modern clothing feel, avoid photography feel, avoid 3D modeling plastic feel.
