Image: Chinese woodblock New Year print (nianhua) style i

Generated from: Chinese woodblock New Year print (nianhua) style illustration, vintage Shanghai Animation Film Studio cartoon character design. A Song dynasty Confucian scholar-philosopher (Zhu Xi): composed theatrical pose, seated-half-turned holding a calligraphy brush over an open BLANK book, other hand raised in a teaching gesture, long beard, square scholar hat (rujin), calm authoritative expression, opera-stylized face. Robe dominated by indigo blue #2F5D6E with stone green #5C8A6A trim and small imperial yellow #E0A93E accents. Bold dark warm-black ink outlines, flat unshaded colors ONLY from this palette: aged paper beige #F2E3C6 background, vermilion red #C03A2B (tiny seal accents only), peach pink #D96A7F, imperial yellow #E0A93E, indigo blue #2F5D6E, stone green #5C8A6A. Slight misregistered woodblock print texture, hand-printed feel, no gradients, no shadows, no realistic rendering, no anime style. Vertical card illustration, character silhouette clearly readable. IMPORTANT: all books, scrolls and paper surfaces must be completely BLANK — no writing, no text, no characters, no symbols anywhere.
