The theme of the work is "She walks towards the river surface from the lights of Hongyadong."

The core narrative of the scene is: a young Oriental female slowly walks from layers of paper-carved mountain city and corridors of lights towards the steps by the river, with the river water, night wind, distant bridge, and moonlight in front of her. She walks out from the depths of prosperous and noisy lights to the wider and more open edge of the river, as if finally seeing the distance she truly wants to go after the bustle.

The main character is an adult Oriental female with a visual age of about 25, clear-headed and independent, mysterious and elegant, with a sense of calmness after passing through prosperity. The character has a delicate oval face, slender almond eyes slightly raised, and a restrained and focused expression. The character does not look at the camera, using a back view or side-back narrative posture as the emotional core.

Character's hairstyle and headwear: Black long hair tied low, with slender flowing paper art ribbons extending from the ends, wearing pale gold light patterns and small flower branch hair accessories. The headwear is light and exquisite, not complex or high-lofted.

Character's clothing: Layered paper art long dress in deep vermilion, warm gold, and ivory white, with extremely fine hollow structures of pavilions, lights, railings, waves, and city patterns on the hem and silk scarf. The outer silk scarf is long and light, spreading extensively towards the back and side-rear. The clothing must have a clear paper thickness, fine cut edges, fiber texture, slight creases, and a high-completion museum-grade paper carving craftsmanship feel. The silk scarf and hem are like a whole piece of complex hollow paper carving long scroll.

The dream carrier is: mountain city paper art pavilion clusters and riverside corridors.

Dream imagery includes: stilt houses (Diaojiaolou), lights, long steps, river surface, distant bridge, flying birds, full moon, and distant city sea of lights. All buildings, characters, river water, sky, bridges, lanterns, railings, and plants must be unified into a high-completion 3D paper carving language, not realistic photography, not ordinary CG night scenes.

The overall papercut structure adopts: a multi-layered stage style.

Composition and character actions: The main body on the left and upper part of the image is a whole surface of huge paper-carved mountain city growing vertically along the cliff. Layers of stilt houses, pavilions, corridors, terraces, railings, lanterns, and small bridges overlap each other, extending from the foreground to the background, forming an extremely complex and orderly vertical space. On the right is the open river surface, distant bridge, city skyline, and full moon night sky, forming a clear opening and closing relationship. The character is located on the riverside steps below and slightly to the middle-left of the frame, body facing the river and the distance, walking down slowly or stopping quietly, becoming the narrative focus connecting the "prosperous mountain city" and the "vast river surface."

The mountain city architecture must clearly refer to Hongyadong-style mountain stilt house clusters, but entirely processed with paper carving: multi-layered wooden pavilions, dense window lattices, layers of corridors, cantilevered platforms, bending stairs, overhanging eaves, red lanterns, and warm-light window scenes intersect with each other, forming an overwhelming sense of vertical growth and strong depth. The building density is very high, but the order is clear. Foreground buildings can be cropped by the frame to enhance the sense of spatial pressure and presence.

The foreground and midground can feature continuous paper art railings, paper lamps, stone steps, platforms, and a few paper-carved plant silhouettes, serving as a frame for the viewer to enter the interior of the mountain city. The river surface on the right is open, with detailed paper-carved ripples and moonlight reflections on the water. A bridge spans the river in the distance with its lights lit, and the distant city sea of lights forms dense points of light. A full moon and scattered flying birds are visible in the night sky. The moonlight is cool, forming a cold-warm contrast with the warm lights of the mountain city.

Overall color scheme: Mainly vermilion, warm gold, deep cyan-blue, and ivory white, with a small amount of ink black for balance. Vermilion is used for the main pavilions, character's main dress, railings, and lantern structures; warm gold is used for lights, window lattices, outlines, and local highlights; deep cyan-blue is used for the night sky, river water, and background shadows; ivory white is used for the hollow silk scarf, architectural highlights, moonlight, and some decorative paper layers. The overall colors are gorgeous and transparent, with obvious cold-warm contrast, but must not be dirty or muddy, and do not blacken the entire image.

Light and paper texture: Warm gold lights shine from inside the pavilions, intertwining with the cool blue night and moonlight. The architectural paper layers glow locally, and the river surface reflects the lights and moonlight. Paper thickness, cutting patterns, hollow railings, window lattices, lantern edges, and character clothing details must be extremely rich and clear. Strengthen the real paper fiber, slight creases, inter-layer shadows, edge light transmission, and multi-layered paper carving structure, making the entire image like a high-completion large-scale Oriental paper carving art installation.

The image overall has a sense of Oriental dream mountain city, papercut night tour, riverside moonlight, female growth narrative, and high-end art poster. The focus is not just "Hongyadong night scene," but the emotional transition of "walking from prosperous lights to the vast river." The mountain city must be prosperous, complex, and growing upwards in layers; the river surface must be open, cool, and leave room to breathe; the character must become the emotional anchor from bustle to silence.

Supplementary requirements: Strengthen the vertical space and prosperity of the lights in the mountain city. The character is in the foreground or mid-foreground but must not destroy the overall architectural pressure and depth. The entire scene must be unified as paper carving; it cannot just be the character in paper art and the background realistic.
