Big shape, no shape, elephant, no shape
In traditional culture, as mentioned in the Tao Te Ching, Chapter 41," Great sounds are rare, but elephants are invisible." It meant that the most beautiful music sounded lonely and silent, and the tall image could not be seen. This concept reflected the Taoist understanding of the nature of things. Truly great and grand images or things often exceeded the definition of shape and form in people's conventional cognition. They were a kind of metaphysical and abstract existence. In addition, there were other levels of interpretation of the " invisible elephant ". From the point of view of an elephant, an elephant was huge and powerful, but its existence was not only reflected by its size and strength. Its existence could be felt through symbolic meaning. In Asian culture, elephants were regarded as mascots, symbolizing strength and wisdom, not only because of their size and strength, but also because of their wisdom and gentleness. From a historical and cultural point of view, in ancient India and Southeast Asia, elephants were used as tools of war and work, as well as for religious ceremonies and celebrations. These historical and cultural meanings deepened the significance of elephants 'existence. In terms of ecological value, elephants were key species in the forest ecosystem. They helped maintain the balance of the forest, promote the growth and reproduction of plants, and protect the habitat of other wild animals, which made the existence of elephants more important and indispensable. Other than that, there was also a mystery novel and manga titled " The Invisible Elephant."

From a biological point of view, there were 25 species of crows under the Corvinus family, and 122 species of crows under 23 genuses. There were 27 species of crows in China, and different species of crows had different appearances. For example, the large-mouthed crow was 57 centimeters long and was a thick medium-sized crow. Its head and beak were thick from the side, and its forehead and beak base were at right angles. The small-mouthed crow was 45 - 50 centimeters long and was similar in size to the large-mouthed crow, but its head was smaller and its beak shape was sharper. The bald crow was 47 centimeters long and looked like a small-mouthed crow, but its body was more slender. When it stood, the length of its wings was the same as the length of its tail. The adult bald crow had no nose feathers around its upper beak and nostrils, and the base of its upper beak was grayish-white. Red-beaked mountain crows were a mountain species. Generally speaking, the feathers of crows were mostly black, but not all crows were pure black, like the white-necked crow with a snow-white neck. Some crows, except for the top of their head, the back of their neck, and the side of their neck, had other upper body feathers with obvious metallic luster, which appeared blue, purple, or green. The luster of the flying feathers and tail feathers was blue-green when observed in front or side light. The luster of the abdominal feathers was slightly dimmer than the luster of the back. From a cultural point of view, the raven character in the Japanese manga " King of the Sea " was bald, with a beak-shaped loudspeaker in its mouth and wearing a black feather coat.

Flower shape
The lantern flower was a flower-like object that formed at the top when the wick burned. At first, it was like a flower bud that was about to bloom. When it first formed, it was shaped like an osmanthus (described as "Golden Millet"). As it burned, it would show different scenes, such as a small osmanthus, then a pomegranate as big as a hydrangea (described as "Half Pomegranate"), then a bright and dense apricot flower ("One Apricot"), and finally, it would become as colorful as a rose ("Five Color Rose"). For oil lamps or candles with a relatively thick wick, the wick would curl into the shape of a flower during the burning process, or it would burst out into flower-like objects (the latter was called the exploding flower).
