Brief introduction of Jincheng

Born in a scholarly family, I loved painting since I was a child. I knew landscapes, flowers and birds, and I also did seal cutting, which was close to the ancient Chinese characters in China. Because there was no teacher to preach, I copied the paintings of ancient celebrities at home, but the calligraphy and painting I met was a bit confusing.

Jincheng has a family history and is rich in ancient cultural relics, calligraphy and painting. Brothers and sisters studied in Europe and America in their early years. He also studied law at Kensingham University in London, England, and visited the United States and France to inspect the legal system and fine arts. After returning to China, he first served as a member of the Joint Review Committee of the Shanghai Public Concession, and was later hired as the editor-in-chief of the Legal Museum, the deputy editor-in-chief of the criminal court of Dali Court, and the director of the court engineering office.

19 10 (in the second year of Qing dynasty), the Ministry of Justice sent Jincheng as the representative of the American Prison Reform Association. After the founding of the Republic of China, he served as a member of parliament and secretary of state, participated in the preparation of antique exhibitions, and proposed to display the inscriptions, paintings and calligraphy collected by the Forbidden City and Chengde Palace in Wuying Hall for the masses and painters to study.

Due to Jincheng's love for traditional painting, during the exhibition, he sat there with a pen and studied hard, constantly copying ancient masterpieces and treasures. Jincheng first learned Dai's meticulous brushwork, and then approached Lu Lianfu's painting style. His landscapes, flowers and birds, and figures all have ancient meanings.

19 18 (the fifth day of the seventh year of the Republic of China) and Zhou and others set up a Chinese painting research society in Beijing. Many young people who have the foundation of painting gather in the painting research society, and Jincheng teaches the achievements of ancient painting. He strongly advocated preserving the quintessence of Chinese painting, copying the draft and being meticulous. Most of Jincheng's works are ancient styles and imitations of the ancients, wandering in the artistic conception of the ancients. Some of my sketches in my later years are more vivid than those I copied in my earlier years.

19 10 (the second year of Qing dynasty), he founded a well-known Chinese painting research society and served as the president of the Chinese painting research society.

1920 (Gengshen in 9 years of the Republic of China), Jincheng initiated the establishment of Hushe Painting Society. Modern famous painters such as Ma Jin, Chen Shaomei and Tian Shiguang all came from his school.

The Sino-Japanese Painting Exhibition held every other year from 65438 to 0926 was held in Japan. Jincheng was invited by Japanese painters to attend the exhibition in Japan and was welcomed by Japanese painters.

After his death, in order to commemorate him, some members of the painting research society organized the Hushe Painting Society by his son Qian Jin 'an at 1927. He also edited and published the semi-monthly "Lake Society", which was later changed to a monthly magazine to publish the works of members and celebrities, introduce ancient famous paintings, and publicize and maintain traditional painting methods. Households have a great influence, and their members are almost all over the country, so they are very popular.
