Aerial View of Old Beijing

Aspect ratio 16:9, a masterpiece of subtlety and visual intelligence. A drone's-eye view of the urban fabric of old Beijing. The core concept is the Chinese character "衚" perfectly and seamlessly integrated into the entire cityscape. **Fusion of Typography and Architecture (The Ultimate Subtlety):** - **No Physical Height Difference:** The character "衚" is not an independent, towering, or massive structure. The walls forming its strokes are perfectly consistent with all surrounding hutong and siheyuan walls in **height, material, and style**. It resides within the fabric, not above it. - **"Light Sculpture":** The form of the character is not revealed by structure, but by **masterful, atmospheric light and shadow**. A low-angle afternoon raking light sweeps across the entire scene. The light precisely catches the edges of the walls that form the shape of "衚", subtly brightening them, while casting deep, sharply defined shadows inside its "strokes" (i.e., the hutongs). The character is revealed by light, not built by cement. - **"Atmospheric Perspective":** A thin, ground-hugging layer of morning mist or haze spreads through the surrounding courtyards and lanes, slightly softening the edges of details. However, the paths and courtyards forming the shape of "衚" are **subtly sharper and higher in contrast**, thus creating a natural visual focus that lets the hidden shape emerge in the viewer's eye. **Elegant Typography Layout:** Preserve the refined and artistic typographic design. - **Main Title:** The title "字里京城" is arranged as a strong single vertical column, positioned on the right. The background area is subtly treated with a semi-transparent fade effect to ensure readability without being obtrusive. The typeface is an elegant "新宋体" style. An extremely thin vertical line runs parallel to the text. - **Information Labels:** Label text (e.g., "灰瓦", "国槐") uses small, delicate handwriting style. They are connected to objects via pencil-sketch-like, needle-thin hand-drawn curved lines. **No boxes, no glow effects.** **Aesthetics:** The overall tone is serene, contemplative, and evocative. The color palette is a sophisticated "高级灰", dominated by low-saturation hues, with the only color accent coming from the warm caress of sunlight. The image possesses a quality of "a secret in plain sight", rewarding the viewer's patience and insight. It is a photorealistic render with a profound painterly and philosophical atmosphere. **Negative Prompt:** Lofty walls, sculpted Chinese characters, massive structures, overly obvious Chinese character shape, flat lighting, diffused light, glowing boxes, futuristic UI, sans-serif fonts, abstract, 2D, vibrant colors, cartoon, poor calligraphy, watermark.
