Design maps with the quiet gravitas of an ink wash. Ancient Chinese Map Symbols is a meticulously illustrated library of 300 high-resolution PNGs with clean transparent backgrounds, crafted to match across sets so your cities, coastlines, and kingdoms feel cohesive at any scale. You’ll find pagodas and walled compounds, harbor junks and river boats, bamboo stands and scholar’s rocks, mountains in classic brush style, waves and clouds, scroll frames, lanterns, animals, and court figures—everything you need to stage wuxia realms, silk-road campaigns, or historical fiction settings.
These assets work with every major tool: drop them into Wonderdraft, Inkarnate, Dungeondraft, Campaign Cartographer 3, Foundry VTT, Roll20, or compose scenes in Photoshop, Affinity Photo/Designer, Procreate, Krita, GIMP, Illustrator and more. Scale without jagged edges, recolor for mood, and layer with your own textures to create publication-ready maps for novels, TTRPG modules, world bibles, classroom materials, and game handouts. Whether you’re an author sketching a journey map, a GM prepping session zero, or a world-builder assembling a full atlas, this set gives you a refined, historically grounded aesthetic that reads beautifully on screen and in print.
