Towards the late Qing Dynasty, a group of Chinese painters who resided in Shanghai sojourned in Japan to sell their works. Among them was Wang Yin, whose literati style painting was well received in Japan. This was due to many factors besides his skills and accomplishment as a painter. Among them were his willingness to socialize with the Japanese in the art circle, his adjustment to their expectations and the lucidity of his instructions methods. It was also due to the common cultural heritage of China and Japan. Besides being a painter, he brought second-hand books from Japan and sold them in China and in this way help to introduce Western ideas to China. His unique contribution to Chinese painting was perhaps his methods of instructions and the use of photographic concepts in practicing drawing. He was also a publisher, using the advanced Japanese technique of copperplate printing in his productions. Overall, he was not a successful publisher and book seller as he lost a lot of money, and his fame as a painter in Japan, though much higher than that in China, was not good enough to put him in the top rank or make him very rich. Shortly after his death, both China and Japan underwent great political and social changes and as they drifted apart and became rivals a new generation of painters were bred. Nevertheless, he and many of his contemporaries who sojourned in Japan helped to establish the new business mode in the Chinese art profession and they should also be treated as cultural ambassadors. It is only because they lived in a transitional period in both China and Japan, both politically and socially, that they were soon surpassed in fame by painters of the next generation. If we look closer into the development of history, perhaps we can recognize their importance in forming the zeitgeist of cultural exchanges and professionalism that brought about the more spectacular development later on.
