文摘

Born in 1781 and died in 1840, Jiang Baoling lived in the transitional period between the end of the splendid Qianlong regime and the chaotic Daoguang era. Western powers were casting a greedy eye on China that the Opium War was led. The period from 1800 to 1840 was specific because the development of Chinese painting was going through the years of depression and confusion and waiting for transformation.;Jiang Baoling was one of the representatives in the history of Chinese painting in the nineteenth century. In straitened circumstances, he spent his whole life rushing around the east of Lake Tai, the most prosperous region of Jiangnan (including Kunshan, Jiading, Shanghai, Zhenze, Nanxun and Jiaxing). This was so typical that reflected the truthful living condition of his contemporaries. Educated people who were spelled out of the official examination had no choices but took advantages of their skill in painting and poetry and networking among well-known literati and scholar-officials in order to earn a living in their harsh lives. Moreover, Jiang's significance was because of his publication Molin Jinhua. Over one hundred and fifteen thousands words and including over a thousand of calligraphers, painters and seal-carvers, it is definitely the most important literature and historical record for investigating the history of Chinese painting during Jiaqing and Daoguang regimes.;The research bases mainly on Jiang Baoling's life and his publication Molin Jinhua, and supplements with Molin Jinhua Xubian written by his son Jiang Zhisheng. Besides, extant paintings of the eighteenth and nineteen centuries serve as primary materials to a further examination of the relationship between the styles of paintings and the ambience, and the contribution of professional painters in the history of painting in the period.
