2/3) Golden Ratio: Character positioned near the golden ratio points of the frame Framing Effect: Ginkgo canopy hangs from above, forming a natural "frame" Dark-toned architecture forms boundaries on both sides, focusing the gaze on the character Visual Guide Lines: Lines of the steps guide the gaze to the character Spread of ginkgo leaves creates depth Vertical lines of the architecture enhance

contrast to create a poetic scene of "the integration of traditional aesthetics and contemporary life" Visual Symbol Interpretation: Ginkgo leaves: Representing the gentleness of autumn, the sedimentation of time, the cycle of life New Chinese style long dress: Metaphor for the modern rebirth of traditional aesthetics, the contemporary expression of Oriental elegance Dark-toned architecture + bright subject: Conveying the life concept of "seeking tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle," inner peace and strength Sideways gaze into the distance: Symbolizing longing for the
