It is reported that there are four main sources of collection resources of the art museum: first, the participating artists come from a deep understanding and wholehearted support for the cause of the art museum, and many people donate their most beloved masterpieces to the art museum for permanent collection; second, a number of high-status Local Chinese paintings in Huxiang, although people have passed away, their widows and descendants have also actively provided the painter's fine works for the collection of the art museum; the third is that the art museum is committed to supporting young and middle-aged artists with rich development prospects.

Li Zijian told reporters: "The museum is certified by the British World Records Certification Agency (WRCA) as the 'world's largest artist's personal art museum', although the long-term exhibition of more than 300 original works I have created over the years, but most of them are selflessly borrowed by collectors. For the great cause of the museum's collection, everything must start from scratch, the future is long, and it is difficult. It can be said that our 'road to collection' has just begun, and there is still a long way to go! Happily, we have finally succeeded in taking the first step! Since then, the Xiangjiang Mother River has not only had this art hall that will always belong to the people of the hometown, but also has an artistic treasure that the people can enjoy and pass on from generation to generation. From the New Year's Day to the Lantern Festival, on the occasion of retiring the old and welcoming the new, this exhibition will inevitably become a cultural feast and artistic feast for the Star City changsha to celebrate the New Year. ”
