"Blank" In Vocal Singing And Its Aesthetic Study

The aesthetic theoretical base of "Blank" can be traced back to the theory of "void-solid combination" in ancient China. That is to say, the perfect artistic conception is not only solid, but is the unity of opposites of void and solid. Moreover, the aesthetic theory of Blank can be dated back to the musical thought of Lao-tzu------"The Great Sound Seems Soundless". But to practice and use it as a means of artistic expression, White Space is used in Chinese paintings initially. Almost at the same time, it is borrowed and used in other kinds of arts quickly. It is used in Chinese ancient poetry most, especially, and reverberates well.Blank is one of the constituents of the artistic image of Chinese paintings. Through the comparison of the tangible and the intangible, and by using lines of feelings and rhyme, Chinese paintings has composed concise visual image, which certainly will cause Blank between on-line and out-line. Blank is not hollow or without anything, there is something in Blank. The fictitious intersecting the actual leaves people large space imagining. Such interspace or reservation in form is called Blank, which is one of the highest artistic aesthetic realms, that is the marvelous realm of no paintings.In classical Chinese poetry, the "Blank" could mean narrative "blank", emotional "blank", "blank" of the image, philosophical "blank" or other forms. Music conveys itself to the audience through the art image of "sound". Due to historical and social changes, the ancient scores couldn’t be properly preserved, which has made the art of "blank" seem not so colorful as painting and literature, though it originates from music. However, we can still find some records about "blank" from various ancient books and documents. We should correct the wrong interpretations of the "blank":it is often simply or wrongly taken as gaps in paintings, the deteriorations of the sculptures, the ellipses in literary works or even the rests and short pauses in music.The art of "Blank" combines the void and the solid, and this art theory which has deeply influenced Chinese poetry, calligraphy, painting, drama and music, has become a distinct mark between Chinese and Western art form, and which also demonstrates the characteristics of Chinese traditional arts and the artistic spirit of typical national identity.During the process of vocal singing, we always borrow Blank on emotion, on philosophy, on image and on narration to handle our vocal works in order to make it lively. When we sing a vocal work, we do not just sing out the musical note and stop, but perform the creative idea of the lyricist and songwriter with a silver voice and rich feelings, which can bring the audience good feeling of both sight and hearing. That is because a good vocal work should be:a song is an art of three degrees of creation, fine lyric, beautiful tune, and excellent singing skill. These three parts depend on each other and can not do otherwise.
