Dai Jin (Chinese: 戴進; Pinyin: Dài Jìn; 1388-1462) is noted as the founder of the Zhe school of Ming dynasty painting. He began his life in Hangzhou. Although he studied painting as a boy his initial occupation was carpentry. Later he became known for landscapes and animal paintings. His school would be known as a conservative one that studied the Yuan masters. He served as an official for a time but after angering the Emperor he returned to Hangzhou in Zhejiang, Zhejiang being where the Zhe school was based.
