His book, "Seal-cutting is So Interesting" had a huge impact on the art world. The book included over 170 of Li Lanqing's works and combined these works with poems, calligraphy, paintings, seals, photographs and so on, making every seal-cutting work a story. Through this magnificent book, people can get to know the events, people, and interesting stories behind the seal-cutting work. The book is the first in seal-cutting books to combine seal-cutting with other forms of art, which reveals that Li Lanqing is a versatile person.

Li Lanqing said his seal-cutting work is "unique" because he doesn't belong to any genre; instead, he absorbed several genres' strong points, which is a prerequisite ability for a seal-cutting artist. His works show his talent and unique perspective in seal-cutting and provide a new style to the seal-cutting business.
