9:16 vertical format, {argument name="style" default="modern oriental female dream 3D paper-cut art"}, modern oriental papercut art, layered paper cut illustration, dimensional paper sculpture, intricate paper carving, paper diorama, layered shadow box, epic oriental papercraft fantasy, contemporary oriental art poster.

The theme of the work is “{argument name="theme" default="She walks from the lights of Hongyadong to the river surface"}”.

The core narrative of the image is: A young Oriental woman slowly walks from the layered paper-cut mountain city and illuminated corridors to the riverside steps, facing the river, night breeze, distant bridge, and moonlight. She emerges from the depths of bustling lights and arrives at the broader river edge, like finally seeing her true destination after the excitement.

The main subject is an Oriental adult woman of visual age about 25, sober, independent, mysterious, and elegant, with a touch of calm after traversing prosperity. The person has a delicate oval face, long almond-shaped eyes slightly raised, and a restrained, focused expression. She does not look at the camera, adopting a back or side-back narrative posture as the emotional core.

Hair and headwear: Black long hair tied low, with the ends extending into slender, flowing paper-art ribbons, adorned with light gold lamp pattern and small flower branch hair accessories. The headwear is light and delicate, not complex or towering.

Clothing: Deep vermilion, warm gold, and ivory white layered paper-art long dress, with the hem and cape featuring extremely fine hollow structures of pavilions, lights, railings, waves, and city patterns. The outer cape is long and light, spreading widely behind and to the sides. The clothing must have clear paper thickness, fine cut edges, fiber texture, slight creases, and a high-completion museum-level paper sculpture craftsmanship feel, with the cape and hem like a complete intricate hollow paper-cut scroll.

Dream carrier: Mountain city paper-art pavilion clusters and riverside corridors.

Dream imagery includes: stilted buildings, lights, long steps, river surface, distant bridge, flying birds, full moon, and distant city light sea. All architecture, characters, river, sky, bridge, lanterns, railings, and plants must be unified in high-completion 3D paper-cut language, not realistic photography or ordinary CG night scenes.

Overall paper-cut structure: Multi-layered stage style.

Composition and character action: The left and upper main part of the image is a huge paper-cut mountain city growing vertically along the cliff, with layered stilted buildings, pavilions, corridors, terraces, railings, lanterns, and small bridges overlapping, extending from foreground to background, forming an extremely complex yet orderly vertical space. The right side is the open river surface, distant bridge, city skyline, and full moon night sky, creating a clear open-close relationship. The person is located on the riverside steps at the lower center-left of the image, body facing the river and distance, walking down slowly or standing quietly, serving as the narrative focus connecting the “prosperous mountain city” and “broad river surface”.

Mountain city architecture must clearly reference Hongyadong-style mountain stilted building clusters, but all paper-cut processed: multi-story wooden pavilions, dense window grids, layered corridors, cantilevered platforms, winding stairs, overhanging eaves, red lanterns, warm light window scenes interlocking, creating an overwhelming vertical growth feeling and strong depth. Architecture density is high, but orderly; foreground architecture can be cropped by the frame, enhancing spatial oppression and on-site feeling.

Foreground and midground can feature continuous paper-art railings, paper lanterns, stone steps, platforms, and a few paper-cut plant silhouettes as framing for viewers entering the mountain city interior. The right side river surface is open, with fine paper-cut ripples and moonlight reflections on the water, a bridge spanning the river in the distance with lights on, and distant city light sea forming fine light points. The night sky shows a full moon and scattered flying birds, with cool moonlight contrasting with the warm lights of the mountain city.

Overall color scheme: Vermilion, warm gold, deep cyan-blue, and ivory white as primary, with a little ink black for balance. Vermilion for pavilion main bodies, character's main dress, railings, and lantern structures; warm gold for lights, window grids, outlines, and partial highlights; deep cyan-blue for night sky, river, and distant shadows; ivory white for hollow cape, architectural highlights, moonlight, and some decorative paper layers. Overall color is gorgeous and translucent, with clear warm-cool contrast, but not dirty or dark, avoiding overall blackening.

Light and paper texture: Warm golden lights透出 from inside pavilions, interweaving with cool blue night and moonlight, with architectural paper layers partially glowing, and river reflecting lights and moonlight. Paper thickness, cut patterns, hollow railings, window grids, lantern edges, and clothing details must be extremely rich and clear. Strengthen real paper fiber, slight creases, layer projections, edge translucency, and multi-layer paper-cut structure, making the entire image like a high-completion large-scale Oriental paper-cut art installation.

The overall image has an Oriental dream mountain city, paper-cut night tour, riverside moonlight, female growth narrative, and high-end art poster feel. The key point is not just “Hongyadong night view” but the emotional transition of “walking from bustling lights to the broad river surface”. The mountain city must be prosperous, complex, growing upward layer by layer; the river surface must be open, cool, leaving breathing space; the person must serve as the emotional anchor from prosperity to tranquility.

Supplementary requirements: Strengthen the mountain city's vertical space and light prosperity feeling, with the person in the foreground or mid-foreground, but not disrupting the overall architectural oppression and depth; the entire scene must be unified in paper-cut style, not just character paper-art with realistic background.
