Gansu has a long history, rich cultural resources, and rich and colorful Silk Road culture and folk culture. The world-famous Dunhuang, located at the throat of the ancient Silk Road, brings together diverse civilizations and provides artists with a steady stream of creative inspiration and themes. Xu Jinlin is an independent producer of Readers Publishing Group Jinlin Studio. In 2014, he set up a teaching practice studio integrating production, education and research, which is committed to integrating Elements such as Dunhuang culture and folk culture into printmaking creation, creating original handmade creative books, and inheriting the Silk Road culture.

A book, a clean book. In Jinlin Studio, every handmade book has at least one library ticket that he personally engraved and printed, full of care and ingenuity that he has not given up for many years.

In 2017, Xu Jinlin was hired as an overseas practice tutor for students of the Repin Academy of Fine Arts in Russia. From 2017 to 2019, the Repin Academy of Fine Arts sent students from the Department of Book printmaking to study in Jinlin Studio for a month and a half every year, and Russian students combined printmaking skills with Chinese garden culture and zodiac culture, engraved and printed zodiac book tickets, and created handmade books, so that Chinese and foreign cultures could bloom in the fusion.
