The paintings of Mu Xin are primarily landscape paintings. Mu Xin creatively incorporated the techniques of traditional Chinese paintings and Western paintings. Mu Xin used both ink and paint to create art pieces. Specific objects in his landscape paintings like mountain ranges resemble that of traditional Chinese paintings, while the usage of lights and lines resembles impressionism and abstract expressionism.

Mu Xin has also made great achievements in literature. Innovatively combining fiction, prose, and philosophical reflections, Mu Xin's writing is both reminiscent of traditional Chinese culture and western deconstructionism philosophy. [13] His most famous literary works includes fiction An empty room, poem Reminiscence of the past, and Literary Memoirs, which is the complied notes of his world literature lectures
