This paper analyzes the unique narrative characteristics of Chinese art films exhibited in the application of silence and blank. Different from traditional sound processing

Chinese art films deeply reveal the psychological state

spatial sense and emotional tension of characters through the unique arrangements of silent scenes

ambient sounds

voice weakening and sound blank

so that the audience can rethink the narrative power of images in the audio-visual silence. The research shows that the sound processing in Chinese art films can further enhance the openness and metaphorical meaning of films through the absence or blurring of sound. This paper focuses on the existence and absence of sound and analyzes the profound influence of these strategies on film narration

which provides a new perspective for understanding the sound aesthetics of Chinese art films.
