Operating system: Ubuntu 14.04LTS; tool: TeXstudio; in addition, I also installed the complete texlive (sudo apt-get install texlive-full, it is relatively large, you can install the part as appropriate).
In practical work, it is more common to use pictures in articles. Here is a simple method of using pictures. The following is a sample code with a picture on the cover (just started learning to use it, sorry for the bad writing):
% 加oneside以去除多余的空白页;加AutoFakeBold是让汉字可以加粗
\documentclass[12pt,oneside,AutoFakeBold]{book}
\usepackage{geometry} % 用于页面设置
\geometry{a4paper, scale=0.8} % 设置为A4纸,边距0.8
\usepackage{graphics} % 与图形有关
\usepackage{xeCJK} % 用于汉字支持
% 定义字体设置命令,用\song来设置字体为宋体(AR PL UKing CN)
\setCJKfamilyfont{song}{AR PL UMing CN}
\newcommand{\song}{\CJKfamily{song}}
% 定义字体设置命令,用\song来设置字体为黑体(文泉驿微米黑)
\setCJKfamilyfont{heiti}{文泉驿微米黑}
\newcommand{\heiti}{\CJKfamily{heiti}}
% 定义字体设置命令,用\kaiti来设置字体为楷体(AR PL UKai CN)
\setCJKfamilyfont{kaiti}{AR PL UKai CN}
\newcommand{\kaiti}{\CJKfamily{kaiti}}
\pagestyle{plain} % 设置页码风格

The effect is as follows:
there was originally a code for creating a cover, maybe I knew too little and felt inflexible, so I didn't use it. The style of the header and footer, I use the simplest style, that is, the plain style.
