In the 80s, Xuan created over twenty volumes of serial illustrations for publication via numerous publishers across Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Zhejiang, and Yunan. Many of these works received National Awards of Excellence and Provincial First Prizes. Multiple sections from the originals were purchased into the private collection at Japan』s Society of Folk Art.

Since early 90s to present, Xuan produced for Taiwan』s Guang Hua magazine 「18 Stories from Classical Chinese Idioms」 and 「18 Stories from Shui Hu Zuan (Outlaws of the Marsh)」, a Chinese literary classic. These popular serial works were reprinted by Singapore』s 「Shingdao Morning Gazette」. 13 hardcover children』s books in English and more than 200 illustrated panels for magazines were published by various publishing houses of New York, Chicago, and California. Some of these works received the American National 「Parent』s Choice Awards」; dozens of original artwork were selected for exhibition at the American National Children』s and Youths』 Books and Illustration Art Exhibition, and entered the private collections of related institutions and individuals.
