Why is Hu Kangmei the Wild Grass Master considered as a controversial ugly book?

Hu Kangmei is one of the directors of China Calligraphers Association and a great calligrapher. Now he is an ancient prose writer of China Calligraphers Association and a professor in some universities. His calligraphy works have won many awards and have also been invited by various countries to be forums. He is very proficient in cursive script, but because many people can't appreciate it, his calligraphy works are smelly books, which makes him and some cursive calligraphers controversial. This actually depends on the fact that many people's appreciation of calligraphy is not high enough.

Cursive writing is actually the most difficult way to write in calligraphy. It is different from regular script and running script. With more practice, you can still write better fonts. The threshold of cursive script is relatively high, because cursive script is not scribbling, but has its own brushwork. What is more needed is a kind of expressive force, so that people who can appreciate can see the freedom of calligraphy. This is the charm of cursive script. Compared with regular script and running script, cursive script pays less attention to form and structure and content, so it needs a certain level to appreciate cursive script.

And many of us can't appreciate cursive script, because cursive script is not as neat as regular script and running script, and it is often a dragon and phoenix dance. Therefore, many people think cursive script is ugly when they can't appreciate it, but as long as they have enough appreciation level, they can see the charm brought by cursive script, feel the traces of the brushwork lines of cursive script and realize the feelings that calligraphers want to express. Cursive script does not require people to see clearly what this word is, but to see the meaning that the whole calligraphy wants to express from the combination of these words.

Hu Kangmei is a master of calligraphy, but because many people can't appreciate his calligraphy, they will say that his calligraphy stinks. If these people have a certain level of appreciation, they will definitely not say such things, thus exposing their level.
