the term shanshui literally means mountain water. The mountain is called Yang which moves vertically upwards. Yang is dry, warm and stable. River is called Yin which is in contact with the EARTH. It is moist, cold and fluid. The middle void is the place where the interaction of these two points takes place. This point of interaction is related to deep FORM of ecstacy. It is the place where the meditation occurs. Man serves as a fundamental role in the occurence of this interaction.

This interaction is compared to the yogic practice of prayanama which focuses on synchronized breathing pattern, involving taking in of air, retaining it and letting it out. The point of suspension of the breathing pattern provides one with ecstatic bliss; which is actually the true meaning of middle void.

Middle void is an essential element for creation of universe for nothing is possible WITHOUT it.

The unpainted space is that point of ecstatic bliss which BECOMES the fountain head all the creations.
