Reusable prompt

Use case: editorial-architecture. Asset type: bilingual oriental negative-space spatial editorial, portrait 3:4, one standalone finished image. Photograph an entirely fictional quiet courtyard after light rain. A tall warm-white lime-plaster wall occupies most of the frame and contains one large circular moon gate in the lower-right half, revealing a shallow reflecting pool, slender bamboo and mist-softened hills. At lower left, one adult woman in a plain rust-red long coat stands safely beneath a dark timber eave, seen from a respectful distance. Bamboo leaves outside the frame cast long natural shadows across the otherwise empty wall; wet dark stone paving carries subtle reflections. Use restrained architectural photography, realistic East Asian garden materials, soft overcast daylight with one clearing sunbeam and extensive true negative space. Composite Chinese copy SPATIAL NOTE 01, 一墙竹影 and 留白让光有了形状; use BAMBOO AFTER LIGHT and SPACE GIVES LIGHT A SHAPE in English. Add type after generation. No famous garden, religious symbols, extra people, furniture, text on walls, lanterns, fantasy fog, gradient decoration, logos, watermark or border.
