The author of "The One Who Seeks Hermitage Will Not Meet" is Jia Dao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. In ancient poetry, there are countless works that use the art of blank space, and Jia Dao's "The One Who Seeks Hermitage Never Encounters" is all about blank space. An example of art. "Those who seek hermitage will not find them" is a five-character quatrain, which together with the title is twenty-five words. But these fifty-two words are left blank everywhere, leaving a lot of room for readers to imagine and play.
If we only read the five words of the title "Those who seek hermitage will not be found", we will find that the title has already left many questions for readers. On the surface, this poem seems to be a bare bones description. However, his blank space allows readers to imagine a picture of lush green pine trees and floating white clouds. Mountains, clouds, and pine trees together constitute the image of this poem. The mountains, clouds and pines coincide with the identity of the hermit. What we see from these simple strokes is indeed a picture with profound artistic conception.
