In April 1921, in order to study and inherit Sinology and promote the exchange and development of Chinese and Western cultures, Li Lin seemed to establish the Jingxing Society in Germany (German: Gesellschaft des Brilliant Stern; English: Brilliant Star Society). This is the first academic organization founded by Chinese people in the western world with Sinology as the main research object, and it is the first time for Chinese people to "learn from the West".

After moving back to China, Jingxing Society has developed from an academic organization specializing in the prosperity of sinology research into an institution that pays equal attention to both the promotion of Chinese excellent traditional culture and the introduction of advanced foreign culture for the research, education and exchange of Chinese and Western cultures.
