Abstract.The art of "leaving blank" has been deeply influenced by traditional Chinese culture, and at the same time, the art of "white space" has also influenced the creation of many works of art to a greater or lesser extent. This paper briefly describes and introduces the application of traditional Chinese "leaving blank" in calligraphy, Chinese painting, opera and music, and further considers the relationship between the art of "leaving blank" in various literary works and traditional Chinese culture, as well as how the traditional Chinese philosophical ideas contained in various literary works will bring us enlightenment.
