Concept demo — five-layer narrative system

Journal / EN · USD
01 Platform strategy 一 种 语 言 · 两 种 方言

One visual language,
two dialects.

TikTok is a discovery engine: it rewards the immediate, the tactile and the slightly strange. Instagram is a gallery: it rewards composition, sequence and a consistent mood. The same assets are cut differently for each.

05Core boards

The account is organised like a library, not a feed. Each board is a collection a new viewer can fall into: heritage, quiet home, process, material, modern use.

  • 01Boards as playlists. Every video belongs to one of five boards; the bio points to the board index.
  • 02Native 9:16, no borders. Hands, water, steam and bamboo fill the frame; captions sit low and small.
  • 03One link, one promise. Every board links to the heritage hub or the matching journal story.

四 周 轮 换 · 收 藏

04Feed weeks

The grid is treated as a quarterly exhibition. Each week has a theme, a palette and a narrative layer; together they read as one continuous body of work.

  • 01Weekly rotation. Origin, craft, scene and maker weeks, each with a distinct image rule.
  • 02One grid tone. Deep moss, warm paper and clay — every post graded to the same shadow.
  • 03Reels & Stories. Short process cuts feed discovery; Highlights hold the permanent chapters.
02 TikTok boards 五 大 核 心 画 板

Five rooms to
wander into.

Each board has a narrative job, a cover image, a posting cadence and a destination. The names stay in English for discovery; the captions carry the Chinese terms.

03 The formats 四 种 长 图

Content that asks
to be saved.

Four recurring formats carry the deeper narrative. Each is designed as a carousel or a long image, with a final frame that links back to the relevant product or journal story.

How to care
for a mat

Sun, damp, rolling, and the virtue of simply using it.

04 Instagram rotation 四 周 叙 事 轮 换

Four weeks,
four chapters.

The feed moves through the narrative in order, then begins again. A follower who arrives at any point sees a coherent body of work — and, over a month, the whole story.

Week 01

Origin

溯源周

Frost, riverbank, red thread. The grove in January and the people who choose what to leave standing.

The grove in winter

Deep moss · cold light

Week 02

Craft

技艺周

0.2mm strips, thumbnail tests, herringbone close-ups. The hand as the only instrument that matters.

Splitting bamboo strips

Clay · warm shadow

Week 03

Scene

场景周

Tea table, bench, window light. Rooms where the mat is not the subject but the reason the room works.

Quiet interior with woven objects

Raw bamboo · soft paper

Week 04

Maker

匠人周

Su Chengjun's hands, his father's tools, the signature at the base. A face behind the fifteen steps.

05 Motion & permanence 短 视 频 · 高 光

Fifteen seconds
of attention.

Reels are made in three repeatable formats. None requires a script; each requires a close camera, natural sound and the confidence to let a process run.

Craft process

Format 01 · Craft cut

The split,
in slow motion

A single action, macro lens, natural sound. No voiceover, no music until the final two seconds.

15–30 seconds
Quiet daily scene

Format 02 · Quiet scene

Morning tea,
no dialogue

Steam, a hand, a mat, a window. The product appears for three seconds and is never named.

15–20 seconds
First weaving experience

Format 03 · First weave

Zero experience,
one small mat

A real beginner opens the kit, follows the fifteenth-step guide, and holds the result up to the light.

20–30 seconds
05.1Story highlights

Permanent
chapters.

Stories disappear; the story should not. Three permanent highlights hold the evergreen chapters, each with a cover frame from the archive.

06 The palette 深 苔 绿 调

One grade,
every frame.

Every image is graded toward the same five tones, whether it was shot in a grove, a workshop or a Shanghai apartment. The consistency is the brand.
