This term means that prose and poetry may contain latent sentiments and thoughts, as well as expressions and sentences that present an apparent sense of beauty. ▌引例 情在词外曰隐，状溢目前曰秀。 （张戒《岁寒堂诗话》卷上引刘勰语） Latency happens when feelings and thoughts are hidden between the lines of a literary work. Evident beauty occurs when messages of sentiment and feelings are vividly portrayed by the images the author creates. 飘逸 Natural Grace
Natural Grace refers to free and unconstrained aesthetic style and artistic appeal in poetic works. ▌引例 子美不能为太白之飘逸，太白不能为子美之沉郁。 （严羽《沧浪诗话·诗评》） Du Fu could not write as freely and unconstrained as Li Bai, while the latter did not possess the style of melancholy and profoundness typical of Du Fu’s poems. 空灵 Ethereal Effect

Works that make use of ethereal effect convey a wonderful lucidity, and possess openness, freedom, and natural grace. Such works enable viewers to appreciate the aesthetic joy of free imagination. ▌引例 古人用笔极塞实处愈见空灵，今人布置一角已见繁缛。（恽格《南田画跋·题画》） When painting, classical artists made use of ethereal effect all the more where a dense collection of objects normally was required.
