Jaing was born in china. Even as a child he displayed a great love and talent for painting and drawing, and early on he knew the course his life would take. In 1959, in a highly competitive exam he won admission to the Central Academy of fine arts in Beijing. From 1962-64 he studied with the famous Chinese artist Huang Yong-yu, who first exposed him to the paintings from the Dunguang caves. In 1964 he earned his Bachelor of arts degree. This was the last class to graduate before the cultural revolution. Jiang also learned about traditional Chinese art, an influence which would remain with him.
Upon graduation in 1964 Jiang and a small number of other artists volunteered to go down to the Yunnsn province. This turned out to be a blessing. This beautiful province is on the Vietnamese border. It is lush and tropical, filled with exotic flora and fuana, and is home to more than 20 different minority peoples. His knew home allowed his talents to burst forth. From 1966-73 the Chinese Governent assigned him to produce " socialistRealism " propaganda posters and sculptures during the cultural revolution. He even painted the famous large redfaced poster od Chairman Mao. But this sterile exercise did nothing to release the emotional side of Jiang's nature, and at night he worked in his small room, on his bed, to create his own style.
The natural beauty of the Yunnan province inspired him. With two other artists, He Neng and Liu Shaohui, Jiang secretly formed the nucleus of what was first called " heavy colorist " school and is now known as the "Yunnan School'. less
