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.
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.

@marmot I think these characters is book name, these characters are not important.

@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 parametertau
withrho
being the nontrivial selfdual point, I do not remember what the circles are even though I should.)

I have the feeling that there is a typo on the original cover. Also, instead of usingdisplaystyle
you could usedfrac
fromamsmath

@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 parametertau
withrho
being the nontrivial selfdual point, I do not remember what the circles are even though I should.)

What have you tried so far?

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.

@marmot I think these characters is book name, these characters are not important.

Thank you for a really good question. I'm going to be up all night, trying to recreate what @marmot has done.
