Yang Lan even said that when he was a host recently, he was young and full of energy, and he spoke like a beanie.
Teacher Zhao Zhongxiang told Yang Lan:
“Yang Lan, you see that Chinese landscape paintings are different from oil paintings. They pay attention to being blank, sometimes even 3/4 of a painting is blank. Only then can there be room for imagination and charm. So when you speak, you must pay attention , Pay attention to being blank! ”
