It involves integrating traditional Jiangxi local culture with modern illustration technology to ensure that the resulting form possesses both contemporary aesthetics and cultural resonance.

Employing a multidisciplinary approach, it explores the fusion of traditional Jiangxi culture with contemporary illustration practices, identifies resonant themes, and examines the potential of illustrations in promoting local culture.
Inspiration
The design inspiration draws from Jiangxi's rich cultural tapestry, blending tradition with modernity to create captivating illustrations. Each stroke on the digital canvas serves as a portal to Jiangxi's landscapes, folklore, and vibrant traditions, bridging the gap between past and present.
