Chinese landscape paintings usually have a lot of unpainted areas while Western landscapes sometimes do not leave whites. White space is valued to allow the painting to breathe and to enable the audience to use their imaginations to interpret the scene.

Answer:
White space represents the Middle Void where the interaction of Yang and Yin takes place. Man has an important role here. He becomes the conduct of communication between both poles of the universe.
