He received guidance from the renowned Chinese artist Chang Shouwu, who served as the director of the Department of Fine Arts at the China Academy of Art, the dean of the China Painting Academy, and the president of the Shanghai Artists Association. He also studied under Yan Wanliang, a silver medalist in Paris in the 1930s, and Liu Haisu. He has also learned from many other contemporary artists. In 1983, Ning Hou came to the United States to study at an art college and obtained his master's degree from the college in June 1986, thus beginning his artistic career.
