Chinese ink-painting has for long been led by the philosophical thought of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.
Though there is a certain difference in these three schools of thought they assume "Tao" as the nucleus of thought. Taoist did say that void and solid are interrelated and interacted on each other. There is also a Buddhist saying which mentions that material being is void and vice versa, void is material being there by conceiving an entity of two extreme thoughts. Confucianism is on the belief of "Zhong yong" which means the Doctrine of the Mean that is also materializing the single entity of the two extreme thoughts.
