In genreal, both of the two words are used to describe something concrete.
However, they are slightly different.
BIG: It can describe concretely in size and abstractly in something important. For instance, "Tonight is going to be a big night for him." which implys that the night is important to him. Also, it sometimes makes readers
confused. " He is a big man." which not only means that he is physically big but also means he is important.
LARGE: It can also abstractly and concretely describe in size and volume. For instance, 1) a large house 2) a large geographical area 3) a large salary, they are touchable and conconcrete.

Good try. But are you sure that large could be used to describe abstract noun?
