Abstract

The highest realm of Chinese painting is leaving blank space. Chinese painting has always been an art upholding blank space. In the traditional Chinese painting, the subject is described more in detail, but there is nothing in the background. Wonderful effect of virtual and real life joining together, which is generated by leaving blank space, can inspire endless imagination.
