Chinese to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting | | Chinese term or phrase: 呼應有致 | context: 構圖工整，呼應有致
Describes a work of Chinese traditional art |
| | | (The composition, neat and orderly,) functions harmoniously. | Explanation:
In Chinese, we usually say "錯落有致" and there are 2 kinds of explanation regarding "有致":1. with charm or interesting quality; with elegance. 2. orderly, systematically.
This phrase could refer to the arrangement of growing plants, flowers or natural scenery. It could also refer to the construction of buildings, the arrangement of the interior design...
Here I think “有致” in "錯落有致" could be used to think about the term (呼應有致) you asked.
I am not sure in this case, which one is more applicable. It's better to consider the whole context.
According to the 2 phrases you provide, I tend to choose the 2nd meaning.
構圖工整 means the composition of the picture is neat and orderly, every part in the painting (I suppose it is a painting) works well together (is related well).
you can feel the painting is arranged in a systematic way, not just randomly or with a free design.
Trans: (The composition, neat and orderly,) functions harmoniously.
