Jin Cheng like others of his generation, took the opportunity to study abroad. In search of practical governmental instruments for the new Chinese Republic, he studied law in England and traveled throughout Europe surveying legal and political institutions. He also studied Western art. His vision of the future upheld traditional values in the arts, and he was an important leader in painting circles in Peking, and as founder of the National Painting Research Association, in the development of art education.Jin Cheng"s fan is surprising in its balance of an unusually dense mass of foliage against a single branch that serves as a canopy to the brief inscription:This is the sixth one I have done to dissipate the heat.
