What is silence?

The phrase "wabi-sabi" in Japanese is an eastern Zen state of mind in which true beauty is mutilated.

It is derived from the three seals of the Dharma, namely the impermanence of actions, the selflessness of dharma, the silence of nirvana, and especially impermanence. The word "lonely" is pronounced "sabi", which means "lonely" and "withered", and its ideological origin can be traced back to The Zen culture in China, where the Rongxi monks brought Zen buddhism from China to Japan during the Southern Song Dynasty.

The word "侘寂" itself comes from Chinese Zen, going up against the river of time, peeking into a minimalist life through a calm space, and later becoming an integral part of Japanese aesthetic consciousness.

Some people believe that silence is the highest state of oriental aesthetics. It is a Japanese aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection, which in layman's terms is that it looks shabby, but it is the highest state of aesthetics.

In recent years, the "earthy" silent wind is in full swing and has been favored by designers in various fields, so how to design the aesthetic space of the silence?
