In my search for information on Li Xuying and the National Beijing Art Academy, I came across this 2016 publication titled Proceedings of the Symposium on ‘The National Beiping Art Academy and Art of the Republic of China’.

The articles in this book focus not only on the history and development of the art school but also include investigations into the Beijing art circles during the Republic of China period, the evolution of Western and traditional Chinese painting education, and the historical details and cultural contexts within art works.
