Diffusion Chinese Learning Resources Compilation: 13 Must-Bookmark Websites and Model Libraries

EnterAI paintingIn the world of web development, you'll soon discover that it's not just about using a tool, but about exploring a vast ecosystem. Models, plugins, tutorials, inspiration… these resources are scattered across the internet. A carefully curated resource map can save you a significant amount of search time, allowing you to focus on the creation process itself. Below are 13 core resource sites selected for Chinese users, covering all levels from beginner to advanced.

Category 1: Arsenal – A download center for models, LoRA, and resources.

These are the cornerstones of AI painting; without them, your creative tools are just an empty shell.

Libulibu (LiblibAI)
- IntroductionThis is an excellent domestic AI model sharing community, and can be seen as a superior Chinese version of C-site. It offers fast access and language-free community communication.
- Necessary reasonsIt boasts a large number of models and LoRAs optimized for localized aesthetics such as traditional Chinese style, martial arts, and modern Asian portraits, making it an important resource library for creating works that conform to Eastern aesthetics.
Civitai (C Station)
- IntroductionIt is undoubtedly the world's leading AI painting resource community. You can think of it as the "GitHub + ArtStation" of the AI painting field. It brings together tens of thousands of models, LoRA, Textual Inversion, ControlNet models, and more shared by creators around the world.
- Necessary reasonsNot only can you download resources, but more importantly, each work comes with complete generation parameters (cue words, model, seed, etc.), making it the best classroom for you to learn and reproduce excellent works.
Hugging Face
- IntroductionIt is an AI model hosting platform that leans more towards technology and academia, and is the first place to launch many official models (such as the Stable Diffusion base model).
- Use casesWhen you need to find the most original and authoritative AI model files, or are interested in the technology behind AI, this is your "source". For ordinary users, its significance lies in providing the "upstream source" of many C-site models.

Category Two: Training Grounds – One-Stop Online Generation Platform

For users who do not want to deploy locally, these platforms offer an out-of-the-box creation experience.

Midjourney
- IntroductionIt sets a new artistic benchmark in the field of AI painting. Instead of offering complex parameter adjustments, it generates images with extremely high artistry and consistent style through concise prompts.
- How to useGenerated through conversations with bots in the Discord chat software. Although the method is unique, the "Midjourney style" it produces has become an aesthetic symbol, making it an excellent place to enhance one's aesthetic sense and find inspiration.
Leonardo.Ai
- IntroductionIt is an extremely powerful and comprehensive AI creation platform. In addition to high-quality image generation, it also has advanced functions such as model training, texture generation, and AI canvas.
- Core advantagesIt boasts numerous exclusive, finely tuned models with a distinctive style, excelling particularly in game assets, fantasy creatures, and character design.
SeaArt.ai
- IntroductionThis is an extremely user-friendly online platform for beginners. Its interface is intuitive and clearly guided, and it integrates a model marketplace, LoRA marketplace, and task system, allowing even newcomers to quickly get started and gain continuous free computing power.
- Core advantagesThe community atmosphere is strong, and you can easily find and use other people's models and prompt word combinations with one click, making the learning curve very gentle.

Category 3: Inspiration Book – A search engine for prompts and artwork

When your mind is blank and you don't know how to describe a scene, these websites can provide you with endless inspiration.

Lexica.art
- Introduction: A search engine focused on Stable Diffusion works. You can search for images using keywords, or upload an image to find works with similar styles.
- Core FunctionsClicking on any image will show you the complete prompt words and parameters used to generate it, making it a powerful tool for "reverse engineering" to learn how to write prompt words.
OpenArt / PromptHero
- IntroductionThese two websites have similar functions; both are large-scale AI art aggregation communities that support various models such as DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion.
- Use casesWhen you need to find inspiration for specific themes (such as "cyberpunk city" or "watercolor cat") across platforms, this offers a broader perspective.

Category 4: Information Stations – Tutorials, News, and Community Exchange

Technology is constantly evolving, and continuous learning is key to maintaining creative vitality.

Bilibili (B station)
- IntroductionThis is China's most comprehensive collection of AI painting video tutorials. Countless enthusiastic content creators share all kinds of step-by-step tutorials here, from basic installation to advanced techniques.
- How to useSearching for keywords such as "Stable Diffusion Introduction", "AI Painting Tutorial", and "LoRA Training" will yield a wealth of high-quality video content, which is far more intuitive than reading text.
Instant Design AI
- IntroductionThis is a domestically developed design tool, but its AI drawing section integrates a large number of excellent models from both domestic and international sources, and provides very good community and tutorial support.
- Core advantagesIts "AI Art Gallery" and tutorial articles are of high quality, making it a learning platform with a high information density for Chinese users who want to understand different model styles and learn application skills.

Category 5: Toolbox – Websites that help improve efficiency

These little tools can be a huge help at specific stages of the creative process.

Elemental Codex (Prompt Book)
- IntroductionThis is an extremely detailed cue word reference manual compiled by enthusiasts. It categorizes thousands of valid words (such as people, environments, art styles, artists, etc.) and includes illustrations.
- Use casesIt is very convenient when you want to find the exact English word for a specific effect (such as "volume light" or "Tyndall effect").
DeepL / Google Translate
- IntroductionAlthough simple, this is crucial. Since the vast majority of model training data is based on English, using precise English prompts yields the best results. A good translation tool can help you accurately translate your Chinese ideas into language that AI can understand.
- Usage TipsFor complex descriptions, try translating between Chinese and English several times to check the accuracy of the translation.
Tag-lookup Tool (such as Danbooru Tag Search)
- IntroductionFor creators of anime/manga style content, these websites are like "bibles." They are tag search engines for large anime/manga image libraries. Since many anime/manga models are trained using data from these libraries, using their official tags as prompts works surprisingly well.
- Use casesI want to draw a specific hairstyle (e.g.)ahoge(ahoge), clothing (such as)sailor suitFor sailor uniforms or scenes, search for the corresponding standard tags here; it's much more accurate than describing them yourself.

Conclusion

This list isn't meant to be mastered all at once, but rather it's recommended that you selectively save and use it based on your current needs. When you're just starting out, focus on the "training ground" and "arsenal"; when you hit a bottleneck, look for breakthroughs in the "inspiration book" and "intelligence station"; and when you want to improve efficiency, don't forget the treasures in the "toolbox." Make good use of these resources, and your AI painting journey will go further and more steadily.
