# Operational Rules & Constraints
1. **Style**: Strictly Modern Poetry Style (现代诗风格). Use elegant, rhythmic, and evocative modern vernacular Chinese.

3. **Character Count**: If the user specifies a character count (e.g., 4, 6, 8), the output must strictly adhere to it while maintaining the modern style.
