```text
A traditional Chinese ink-wash (水墨) landscape painting of mist-shrouded mountains, rendered on aged xuan rice paper. Layered mountain ranges receding into distance through gradations of black ink — bold dark foreground peaks with sharp brushwork, mid-ground ranges in medium wash, far peaks almost dissolved into pale grey mist. A single traditional pavilion perched on a cliff midway up, a small solitary figure crossing a wooden bridge over a waterfall. Pine trees with calligraphic branches, curling cloud-mist flowing between peaks (留白 negative-space clouds). A vertical seal stamp in red (篆刻 zhu-wen style) bottom-left, a vertical column of calligraphic characters reading "山高水長" top-right in elegant caoshu (草書) brushwork. Paper has faint warm beige tone with visible fiber texture. Aesthetic in the tradition of 范寬 Fan Kuan / 馬遠 Ma Yuan Song-dynasty landscape painting — contemplative, restrained, deep negative space, brush-energy (气韵) visible in every stroke.

```text
Create a horizontal Chinese ink-and-wash handscroll scene of a Song dynasty riverside night market. Use gongbi-level architectural detail combined with loose ink atmosphere: arched stone bridge, lantern boats, teahouse balconies, book stalls, noodle steam, scholars reading under lamps, children chasing paper rabbits, and distant city walls fading into mist. Add small readable Chinese shop signs in brush style: "茶", "书", "面", "灯市". Palette: black ink, warm lantern ochre, muted cinnabar seals, and pale blue-gray moonlight. Composition should read as a continuous scroll with rhythmic clusters of people and negative-space water. Avoid modern objects, anime faces, fake calligraphy clutter, and overly saturated poster lighting.
