On The "Hidden" Contexts In The Chinese Paintings And Their Aesthetic Implications

In Chinese paintings, after the determination of the main part of the picture, the artists started the composition based on certain scenarios. They often use emptiness in certain parts of the picture, or even use great emptiness and small emptiness to reflect the empty scenarios in the picture, such as the virtual and real, black and white, artistic conception, simple and complex, white, empty, simple, and stylistic. This is what is called the art of "hidden" contexts in the Chinese paintings, which play the role of pure opportunities in the paintings. Its application makes the vision of the picture clearer, the hierarchical levels obvious, and the visual parts of the picture more fulfilling and complete. Because of the association of the viewers, the extension of the scenarios of the picture has already become a supplement and support to the painting, which makes the overall picture more complete and thus makes the picture possess an infinite realm of "energy." It turns out that the exquisite "hidden" contexts can achieve the result of "the more hidden context, the greater scenarios, and the endless fun." The emptiness in the picture shows that "Silence speaks." The void places are all wonderlands! This kind of expression guides the viewers to associate actively the emptiness and white of the graphic images with the inside and outside of the picture while they are watching the paintings, inspires them to show their feelings and emotions, and makes them take actively the initiative to recreate the picture interactively, thus creating more aesthetic gaps for the viewers, extending the time and space of the picture and keeping and expanding aesthetics itself.
