Modern and contemporary Chinese painter, art historian, and art educator. Since childhood, he liked to paint, and first copied "Mustard Garden Painting Biography", "Sewing Painting", "Ancient and Modern Celebrity Paintings". In 1915, he entered the Department of Law and Politics of Peking University. The calligrapher and painter learned from Mr. Zhang Haoru, and had received the guidance of He Luzhi, Chen Shizeng, Tang Dingzhi, and Jin Cheng' predecessors; in 1918, he participated in the Chinese Painting Research Society sponsored by President Cai Yuanpei, and in 1920, he participated in the Chinese Painting Research Association founded by Jin Cheng and others as a researcher, and tried to copy ancient masterpieces. His landscape painting was first studied in the late Qing Dynasty Xigang, Huang Guyuan, and Dai Alcoholshi families. Later, he deeply studied the works of Gong Xian, Cha Shibiao and others in the early Qing Dynasty. Therefore, Mr. Li laid an extremely deep foundation of traditional pen and ink in the history of calligraphy and painting and the art of calligraphy and painting. His paintings are rich and deep, simple and serene, and rich in style from technique to meaning. His fame predates Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong and others, and he is one of the important representative painters of China's traditional Northern School who insist on pen and ink; after graduating from Peking University in 1921, he successively taught at the Art College of Peking University (formerly Beiping Art College), the Jinghua Academy of Fine Arts, and the National Peking Art College. After liberation, he successively served as a painter of the Beijing Academy of Painting, a member of the Academy committee, and a professor at the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts. He is a member of the China Artists Association, sexually brash and able to speak bluntly. In 1947, when he was teaching at the Peking Art College (formerly the National Beijing Art College), together with Shou Shigong and Professor Li Zhichao, there was a fierce debate over the difference between the teaching of Chinese painting in the art college and Xu Beihong, opposing Xu Beihong's teaching method of "using sketching to imitate the foundation of Chinese painting" in the teaching and creation of Chinese painting. After the summer of that year, the three were dismissed by Xu Beihong. This was the sensational "Three Professors Incident", which was politically snubbed from then on;[1] In the mid-1950s, he wrote an article with Wang Xun to debate the issue of Chinese painting, and vigorously defended the traditional painting methods and characteristics.
