In 1952, he went to the famous Jinling guqin master Xia Yifeng, Ms. Zhao Yunqing, Ms. Xu Tonghua of the Shu School and Mr. Liu Shaochun, the tenth-generation descendant of the Guangling School as teachers. In order to study the art of the Guangling School of Qin, he and Liu Shaochun slept every night.

Mei Yueqiang's playing style of guqin is mainly based on the beauty and delicacy of the Guangling School, the ups and downs, the combination of hardness and softness, and the melodious rhythm. He advocates the harmony of sound and rhythm, the ancient and ancient Mu in the Qing Dynasty, and the combination of nature and cultivation, so as to enter the genre and not be confined to the genre.

In 1992, the Nanjing Municipal People's Government awarded him the honorary award of the "First Nanjing Literature and Art Award". After retiring, he moved to Yangzhou, where he worked as an extracurricular teacher at Yangzhou Teachers College, and set up "Meiyue Qiangqin Museum" in Yangzhou to revitalize the piano art in Guangling. There are many thousands of miles at home and abroad who come here to join the master, and the world is full of peaches and plums.

Mei Yueqiang has participated in the second, third, and fourth national guqin scoring conferences; in 1990 and 1995, he participated in the International Exchange Conference of Chinese Guqin Art twice. In 1991, the China National Academy of Arts recorded 28 qin pieces for him, which were preserved as national audio materials; in 1992, he served as a judge of the Hangzhou Guqin Invitational Competition. In October 2000, he performed for General Secretary Jiang and French President Chirac, and the guqin he made was presented to President Chirac as a national gift. On December 8, 2002, he held a concert "Guangling Qin Yun" for the 60th anniversary of Caoman at the Guotu Concert Hall, which was a major event in the Guqin world.

In the summer of 2004, Mei Yueqiang died in Nanjing at the age of 75.
