White in the East has always been a concept. From the techniques of line drawing in Chinese painting to the intention of leaving blank with ink splashing, until the status change to conceptual "emptiness" from “white” by means of religion, can be a milestone upgrading of collective thinking. Modern western architecture also uses "white", but the western white is a logical strategy to lighten or give up, which is simple and "straightforward" with less concept. "White", was born in the East.


Review the preach of “white” in Zhuangzi’s The World of Human (Ren Jian Shi): the emptiness and cleanness make a room well-ventilated while the peaceful heart brings wellbeing. At that time, "white" still had some substantial content on the brink of nihilism, such as silence or the meaning of useless. It's also the wisdom of ignorance. The interpretation of "white" by Zhuangzi's is actually a functional appeal. He tried to use "white" to explain a kind of flexible relationship. "White" is his way of life.
