大音希声 大象无形 is a typical eastern philosophy , and is core of Taoism art. It had created a very unique art and artistic standard that hardly replicated . The understanding of such artistic theory take high standard cultural cultivation, that western are hard to imitate .
Words by words translation, means " Big tone has rare sound, Big phenomenon has no shapes"
"Great Music invisible elephant sound" is a teasing version of interpretation.
It is likely to be translated into such way by some in Chinese as " 大象无形大音声 ", -" Big phenomenon has no shape, huge tone has sounds".
You may also see the Taoism philosophy itself is very Buddhism. As it explains the unique 空, emptiness, or, that Buddhism frequently referred to, as it brings such uniquely enjoyable trance of freedom, is of Taoism state , a very unique eastern spiritual state.
French people were smart enough to take this bit to form their unique art of impressionism, which is also exclusively French ( not Eastern ).
However , I wish it not becoming a definite RULE but only for guide to the ones that connects, or it would loose necessary natural individuality as origin of art forms, even in eastern culture. I mention it , because it's so rare , and of high art standard, that worth working on.
To explain the nationalism in modern arts, this is the Egyptian version.
This is the French Versions, more "- sms"(styles)
What's the Chinese version then?
I'd better leave it now ...
