Jiang Feng is a person who has made significant contributions to China＇s modem art, in particular to the art career of new China. As a graphic artist, he is not only a first generation woodcutter under the instruction and cultivation of Lu Xun, a member of the ＂woodcut workshop＂ opened by Lu Xun, and one of the most active and most eminent woodcutters and woodcut activists in the emerging woodcut movement, but also one of the first woodcutters applying for the membership of the Communist Party of China, the first woodcutter coming to Yah＇an, and one of the first who have popularized woodcutting and explored for new formats. His thoughts and artistic creations had a key influence on Yan＇an＇s art community by then. All these identities and experiences have demonstrated the unique meaning and important value of Jiang Feng and his woodcut works in the development of emerging woodcut and Yan＇an woodcut.
