What is another outstanding feature of Chinese painting in composition?

In terms of composition, Chinese painting also has a prominent feature: it is good at dealing with blanks, and the virtual and the real coexist, replacing the real with the virtual. The blank in Chinese painting sometimes represents the sky, sometimes represents water and clouds, and sometimes becomes the background of any imagination. Qi Baishi painted shrimp without water, but he felt the shrimp playing back and forth in clear water. The blank on the paper is the real background of Chinese painting.

The ancients said that "pen and ink can be seen without pen and ink", and the blank in Chinese painting is richer than the painted object. The background of Li Yintu is blank, which makes people feel that the poet's broad mind is integrated with the vast world, leaving too much imagination for the viewer.
