He has published works such as "The Soul Lost in Autumn Water," "Essentials of Freehand Figure Painting Techniques in China," "Techniques of Painting Figures in Chinese Painting," "Yue Haibo's Practice by Famous Artists," "Comprehensive Training in Line Drawing for Figures," "Yue Haibo's Collection of Fine Comic Books of the Contemporary Era," and "Yue Haibo's Collection of Fine Line Drawings of Contemporary Artists." Yue Haibo has become a highly regarded figure painter of the contemporary era due to the maturity of his works, the exquisite skill, the enduring charm, the clarity of his artistic realm, and the fresh aura. In summary, we can categorize Yue Haibo's works under a single theme—"The Person in Autumn Water"—from which endless emotions and poetry are derived. The imagery of "The Person in Autumn Water" in Yue Haibo's works is imbued with the rich spiritual essence of Chinese culture and the posture of spiritual guardianship. Strictly speaking, the "Person in Autumn Water" created by the painter is an aesthetic interpretation and interpretation of the theme of life. The figures depicted, detached from time, and the dreamlike environment—deep courtyards, swaying flower shadows, moonlit lotus ponds, etc.—create a pure spiritual image, which is also an indelible aesthetic illusion deep in the artist's heart.
