How to create a cover page like this?

I saw my Chinese classmate reading a book whose cover page is really fancy, though I don’t know the Chinese characters on it.enter image description here
How could I create a cover page in my own classnotes like that?

  • There is a rather straightforward part, the graphics, which can be done with TikZ (for instance) and a part which requires familiarity with the Chinese characters. It seems to me that anyone trying to answer this will have to know TikZ and these characters.

    @HenriMenke I believe that the cover is correct. rho is the sixth root of unity, i.e. rho=(1+sqrt{-3})/2=(1+mathrm{i}sqrt{3})/2=exp(2pimathrm{i}/6). I agree that these are not the standard Apollonius circles, which is why I wrote "some sort of Apollonius circles". While I believe to understand the inlay figure (which is the fundamental domain of the torus parameter tau with rho being the nontrivial selfdual point, I do not remember what the circles are even though I should.)

Can one do something like this? Yes. Most likely the curves in the upper right part are are some sort of Apollonius (Golden Ratio?) circles but I was too lazy to look them up.

  • sqrt{-3} I have the feeling that there is a typo on the original cover. Also, instead of using displaystyle you could use dfrac from amsmath.

    @HenriMenke I believe that the cover is correct. rho is the sixth root of unity, i.e. rho=(1+sqrt{-3})/2=(1+mathrm{i}sqrt{3})/2=exp(2pimathrm{i}/6). I agree that these are not the standard Apollonius circles, which is why I wrote "some sort of Apollonius circles". While I believe to understand the inlay figure (which is the fundamental domain of the torus parameter tau with rho being the nontrivial selfdual point, I do not remember what the circles are even though I should.)
