Artists, poets and men of official rank have brought distinction to the family name in cultural and intellectual circles from the late Ming Dynasty to the present. His great-grandfather Chiang T'ing-Hsi (1669-1732) was a master painter of his period and paintings by him are included in the inventory of the Palace Collection.
