His calligraphy works are published in various magazines and circulated in domestic and foreign collections. His oil paintings are thick in color and good at scenery; The calligraphy strokes are sharp; Ink and wash painting inherited from Badashanren, Xu Wei and other ancestors.

Shaoyang painter Liu Guozhi, who is honest and frank and chivalrous. In his early years, he studied painting with Mr. Chen Xichuan of Baoqing, and learned sketch, sketch and color. He was handy in everything and skillful in technique. I didn't know his calligraphy and ink paintings until I returned home in recent years. Yeah, what a surprise! His calligraphy brushwork is sharp, and ink painting is also inherited from the brushwork interests of the ancestors such as Badashanren and Xu Wei. The layout of the picture is steep and the trend is ups and downs. What is particularly rare is that the painter also has in-depth experience in pen and ink, and he has great experience in controlling the materials with ink marks, and he is getting better and better. However, the practice program of western painting mostly focuses on modeling elements and color elements, while China's ancient painting mostly focuses on the change of pen and ink purport, material texture. Looking at Liu Guozhi's rocks, birds and birds, they are solid in shape. Although there are only a few strokes, they are heavy and practical. The pens and pens are in place, the reality is appropriate, and the dryness and embellishment set each other off. Baoqing's books have a strong fragrance since ancient times, and it is known as the tradition of reading and telling stories about the past. When we were young, we also liked to use pen and ink. Liu Guozhi grew up in this environment since childhood.
