Five thousand years of China in line art

A 2:38 line-drawing recap of 5,000 years of Chinese history, light and cartoonish, made in Claude Code from a one-sentence prompt. The creator says it is all SVG, has no voiceover, and used 3% of a 5-hour window on a Max plan.

How it was made

The creator says the prompt was just one sentence. There's no voiceover; they suggest giving Claude a TTS API for that. Asked which agent they used, they answered "Claude Code"; asked what's under the hood, "就是一堆svg" (just a pile of SVG). They add that Claude can produce the MP4 directly, with no other software.

3% of the 5-hour quota and 1% of the weekly quota on Claude Max (5x)

A light, cartoonish line-drawing recap in which a small ink-drop character walks a ground line through China's dynasties, each introduced by a big brush character and a red date tag.

Color
Warm off-white paper with black linework, gray washes for hills and walls, and small red accents for date tags and flames.
Type
Large black brush characters for each era (周, 秦, 隋, 宋, 明, 辛亥, 今天), a red tag with the year, a short subhead beneath, and a one-line Chinese caption centered at the bottom.
Framing
A flat side view on a single ground line; the mascot stays small in the lower left while each era's drawing sits center right.
Sound
No voiceover, according to the creator.
Structure
An opening sun and landscape, then Zhou beacon towers (1046 BCE), Qin and the Great Wall (221 BCE), the Three Kingdoms, Sui's exam hall and the Grand Canal (581), Song movable type (960), the Ming treasure ship (1368), the 1911 revolution, and today's rocket aimed at the Moon.
