This article focuses on the contemporary translation and poetic space creation of blank space art in new Chinese architecture. Through theoretical tracing and translation path analysis, it shows that "blank space" is rooted in the Taoist "existence and non-existence" and Confucian "doctrine of the mean and implicitness". In traditional architecture, it is reflected in the spatial organization of "unity of the virtual and the real", the interface treatment of "transparency and emptiness", and the logic of creating "infinite artistic conception". In the creation of contemporary new Chinese architecture, the systematic translation of traditional architectural space organization, interface treatment, and material color is the core path to solving the dilemma of symbolic replication and creating poetic spaces. Creators need to activate imagination, regulate rhythm, and elevate space into a 'poetic field'. In addition, there are problems such as formalism and lack of individuality in the current practice of new Chinese style construction in China. In the future, it is necessary to deepen philosophical understanding, establish collaborative mechanisms, and promote regional innovation. The study provides a path for the inheritance of new Chinese architecture from "likeness" to "likeness", enriches contemporary expression of traditional aesthetics, and provides inspiration for cultural identity and spiritual return of architecture in the context of globalization.
