很有價值的討論。形式有两種，我後来才領悟到的：1) 以形寫神 2) 以神寫形

Most forms are of type 1,  which are subject to what you elucidate here.

Forms of type 2 can only be brought about by true genius. They come directly from 覺性 . The forms somehow lose their boundaries and no longer serve like architectural entities framing the essences本貭 , rather, they are more like firstborn expressions of their singularities in the perceivable world, little more than that.

It is easier to distinguish these two types in the arts. For instance, some passages by Beethoven, as if The Will speaks for itself. The listener has no need to register the particular sequences of notes. Other composers, no matter how accomplished, Wagner or Tchaikovsky, write "renditions", not The Will. So the listener must appreciate the actual sequences of musical notes.

This quality can be found in works by some other individuals of true genius in a variety of disciplines.

In this sense, so-called talent 才華 is worthless, since it can't access to 覺性 , or The Will - a term similar enough in western literature.

Hope what I am saying makes sense.
