This phenomenon is called putting the cart before the horse, regardless of beauty and ugliness, shouting books, Facebook books, nude books, tongue books and so on. They are not really ugly books, but a means for outsiders to gain fame and fortune. Nowadays, many ugly "calligraphers" on the Internet are not real calligraphers, but buffoons. All this is due to interests. In fact, masks are easy to be punctured, and people turn a blind eye to them and let them go. Tired and bored, it naturally disappears. Individuals become popular for some self-interest and carry out high-profile colorful dyeing. It is not desirable to win the recognition of the calligraphy circle, and it will eventually be abandoned.
The popularity of ugly books is a manifestation of the so-called "popular book style" today. It is shameless and caters to the hippie mentality of society. All kinds of hype are tantamount to selling pornography and gambling drugs along the street, seriously misleading and fooling universal values. There are more complicated social and realistic motives behind it. In short, it is all caused by utilitarianism and interests.
Calligraphy art is one of the treasures of China traditional culture. It can not only make people see the beauty of its layout and modeling, but also make people see the vitality and fluency of writing, feel the hearty writing and remind people of the pictures depicted in their minds. This is the true meaning of calligraphy. With a history of thousands of years, it bears, inherits and continues the historical responsibility of the continuous development of Chinese civilization, and is also a model of oriental civilization.
