Ideally, both ways are OK. But in China, especially during summer vacation, you'd better buy it in advnace.

Thanks. I'm going in Sept. and there are 20+ trains a day. Would you just buy a ticket at the station, maybe wait 30 minutes if one train is full? If I buy in advance, do I print the ticket or use an image on my cell phone like on an airplane?

Personally speaking, I think it should be OK if you are not on a tight schedule. If you book online in advance, you need to print out the paper ticket at the railway station first for boarding.
