After that, he was admitted to Quanzhou Xiting Art Normal School, the only art school in Quanzhou. Under the guidance of the western painting teacher, he developed a strong interest in western painting.
After dropping out of school, he set up his own "youth studio" to sell paintings for a living. "Youth Studio" made Shuoqing Li famous in Quanzhou at that time.
1927, admitted to the third grade of western painting department of Shanghai Xinhua Art College with excellent results, and studied under the master of western painting, Mr. Zhu. However, in Shuoqing Li's artistic career at that time, the famous masters of Chinese painting were Liu Haisu, Pan Tianshou and Wang Geyi. I personally pointed out the pen and ink and techniques of Chinese painting, so that he could not only accept Chinese and western painting in the future, but also lay a solid foundation for integrating the modeling methods of western painting into the pen and ink application of Chinese painting.
1928 ——1956, graduated from university, about 20 years old. He has taught in universities and middle schools in Quanzhou, Hui 'an, Nan 'an and Jinjiang. At the same time, he teaches in three schools: Quanzhou Haijiang University, Quanzhou Jianguo Business School and Jinjiang Middle School, and concurrently serves as a teacher of Xiamen Middle School and Xiamen Fine Arts School. Teaching for 28 years.
From 1934 to 1947, Shuoqing Li, who was only 26 years old, successfully created Autumn Going to Shugang, and the youngest one was selected for Fujian Art Exhibition. This painting is a combination of Chinese and western painting, mainly Chinese painting, supplemented by western painting, which caused a sensation in the art world of the whole province.
During his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, he created Japanese Violence Map (65,438+00) and Doomsday of the Traitor (8).
Self-run "Xue Lu" studio, and in Quanzhou published "Fujian Daily" opened a column "Shuo Qing Selling Snow", and began to raise paintings by painting.

1February, 952, with the theme of supporting the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, he painted "Military and Firewood Transportation", from provincial exhibitions and East China exhibitions to national Chinese painting exhibitions.
From 65438 to 0955, he sketched in Jinjizha, eulogized the failure of socialist construction with pen and ink, and carefully created the magnificent masterpiece of Chinese painting "Breaking the Golden Rooster to Fill the South of Shanxi", which was not only selected for the national art exhibition, but also acquired and collected by China Art Museum. This is the first work of art collected by the state in Fujian Province.
From June 65438 to June 0956, our province began to build the first railway outside the province-yingtan-Xiamen Railway. Nearly half a century old, Shuoqing Li led six young painters to sketch on the railway site. I drew hundreds of sketches in seven days. It was not until the draft of 13 that "moving mountains and filling valleys" was completed. This huge Chinese painting is set in Wuyishan, where the mountains are towering, the rocks are abrupt, and the clouds lock the canyon. At the bottom of the canyon, thousands of railway workers are working hard. Moving mountains and filling valleys with construction as the theme shows the majestic face of socialist construction in full swing. This is the new life of Chinese painting.
1957, he thought that there were eight scenic spots in Hangzhou, eight scenic spots in Suzhou and eight scenic spots in Quanzhou (now downtown).
1958 "moving mountains to fill valleys" was selected 1958. The Moscow socialist plastic arts exhibition held in the spring of 1958 was hung in the central hall, which aroused strong repercussions in the art circles at home and abroad. Wang Chaowen, a famous literary critic in China, praised in People's Daily 1958 on August 30th: "Whether Chinese painting can reflect reality, especially socialist construction, has been debated endlessly.
From 65438 to 0959, moving mountains and filling valleys also participated in world art exhibitions held in India and Japan. Shuoqing Li participated in exhibitions in Moscow, New Delhi, Tokyo and Beijing, and all four original works of Moving Mountains to Fill the Valley were collected by China Art Museum as an exception. This painting has also been published in the history of art such as Selected Works of Modern Paintings in China, Selected Works of Paintings in China for Ten Years, and Crystal Collection in China Art Museum. The movie "Walking in the Painting" and "The Scroll of History" also started from "moving mountains to fill valleys".
From 1960 to 196 1, Minister of Culture Zhou Yang went to Quanzhou. When he met Shuoqing Li at the meeting, he said to the main person in charge of the prefectural party committee at that time, "It will take at least three months every year to give Shuoqing Li enough conditions to travel around the mountains. So he visited Mount Tai, Huashan Mountain, Huangshan Mountain, Yandang Mountain, Tiantai Mountain, Taimu Mountain, Lushan Mountain, Wuyishan Mountain and the Great Wall for many times, and created Remnant Snow on Mount Tai, Clouds on Huangshan Mountain, Tiantai Waterfall, Strange Stones on Mount Taimu, Exploration of Wuyishan Scenery, Doubtful Clouds of Flowers and Moon and Spring to the Great Wall.

Finally, he created eight scenic spots in Quanzhou: Fengshan Chunxiao, East Lake Lotus Fragrance, Hilly Bamboo, Twin Towers Flying, Jade Carpet Wind and Jade Carpet Wind. Fujian People's Publishing House published 800,000 copies four times before the Cultural Revolution.
These works, alone or in cooperation with others, reflect the overseas Chinese's conquest of nature and the construction of a new look of their hometown, such as Breaking the Golden Rooster to Fill the South of Shanxi, Huinv Reservoir, Eight Women Crossing the Sea to Conquer a Desert Island, Aerospace Map, Spring Dawn in the Hometown of Overseas Chinese, Rising at Sea and Going Home for Sightseeing, etc. Most of these works are collected and published by the state.

1June 1966 to1June 1967, during the Cultural Revolution, Shuoqing Li was beaten and imprisoned, and his paintings, sketches and antiques were looted. He came up with the idea of drawing plums, and used 12 to draw plums on small rice paper, so as to hone his brushwork and deepen his conception ability. In more than two years, I have painted hundreds of plum blossom Chinese paintings with different rules and structures. Shuoqing Li painted plum blossoms with a sense of left and right, while others painted plum blossoms with only a sense of left and right. His sense of direction was honed by his hard work and pen and ink for more than two years. Later, famous plum blossom works include Plum Blossom Fragrance in Bitter Cold, Three Friends in Cold Year, Red Plum Smells Fragrance, Welcome to Xu, Luofu Crescent Moon, Dongfeng News and so on, all of which were enlarged with small paintings at that time. From painting plums, he also made great efforts to render wisteria, pine trees, daffodils, lotus flowers and grapes. In his later years, his flower-and-bird paintings and landscape paintings have become famous.
