Four Dynasty Palettes, Side By Side, Zero Missteps
Ru-kiln celadon next to Tang gold accents — the color contrast wears better than expected.
✍️ What actually separates the four isn't the costumes — it's pairing each dynasty with a signature object and its own line language: tea smoke, the curve of a jade bi disc, lattice-window geometry. Get the color codes right and the dynastic mood locks into place.

A four-dynasty portrait poster series, using a unified hand-drawn outline style paired with matching typography for each era:
1. Tang · Chang'an — round fan and pipa, radiating the splendor of the High Tang;
2. Song · Bianjing — tea bowl and Ru-kiln ware, set against a landscape's negative-space mood;
3. Han · Weiyang — jade bi disc, lacquerware, and a boshan censer, carrying an ancient, dignified weight;
4. Ming · Jinling — folding fan and lattice windows, built on geometric order.
Each of the four panels picks its own signature object and color tone, echoed through details like flowing ribbon curves, drifting tea smoke, the arc of a jade bi disc, and lattice-window geometry — forming four distinct personalities under one unified visual identity.
