A highly precise design archive image of ancient Chinese architecture in the 'Yangshi Lei' style, themed as [theme]. The image uses a rigorous 'virtual-real deconstruction' composition: the background is old, gold-flecked Xuan paper with fiber texture, covered with meticulous line drawings of floor plans and cross-sections; the center features a scaled-down wooden 'tangyang' model, displaying extremely precise mortise and tenon joints and the natural wood color. Enhanced annotation logic: Clear vermilion lines pop out from key components of the model, pointing to text areas on the edge of the drawing, simulating authentic professional terminology annotations from the 'Yingzao Fashi' (Treatise on Architectural Methods). Enhanced professional layout: The edges of the image are adorned with vermilion seals unique to Qing Dynasty royal archives, precise scale markings, and neat vertical line-drawing borders, presenting an overall sense of order like a 'museum exhibit explanation poster'. Professional side-lighting from museum spotlights creates an extreme sense of material thickness and deep physical shadows. --ar 3:4
