## Summary

MiniMax posts a prompt that renders exterior maintenance on a modern space station as a Tang-dynasty Dunhuang-style earthen-wall mural. The prompt specifies figures resembling flying apsaras, mineral pigments in cinnabar red, azurite blue, and malachite green, and solar panels shown as small azurite-blue squares.

## Post

Modern subjects in traditional artistic languages.  

Prompt: Translate exterior maintenance on a modern space station into a Tang-dynasty Dunhuang-style earthen-wall mural in rich mineral pigments. The image is a flat wall painting, not a space movie. At the center, a technician resembling a flying apsara reaches sideways toward a solar-panel pivot, wearing a simplified modern safety vest over wide sleeves, with long ribbons forming two flowing arcs behind them. A companion at the lower left passes a tool to the main figure, while another at the upper right steadies a folded solar panel. All three direct their hands and eyes toward the same pivot. Clear, fine safety lines connect the figures to the station wall; ribbons and safety tethers each follow distinct paths and must not merge into tangled lines. The station consists of an ocher-white cylinder and a few geometric planes, with solar panels rendered as small azurite-blue squares. Make the modern facilities recognizable without smooth metal or realistic space lighting. Use Tang-mural-style linework for faces and clothing folds, light bodily contours, and overlapping forms instead of precise perspective. Render Earth at the side as a muted malachite-green disc. Keep the background earthen ocher with a few traditional scrolling clouds and star dots. Balance cinnabar red, azurite blue, malachite green, and warm white. Show mineral grains and slight natural wear in the paint layers, with locally exposed wall substrate rather than a uniform crackle filter. Organize movement through ribbons, panel wings, and the cylinder. Make the main figure large and the helpers slightly smaller, leaving open wall areas that breathe like blank paper. No sci-fi armor, blue volumetric light, photographic starfields, subtitles, trademarks, inscriptions, or seals.
