The modern "Four Madmen" are Liu Hongbiao, Hu Kangmei, Zhang Xuguang, and Wang Houxiang. The "Four Madmen" that have appeared in recent years, although they all have their own unique styles, look disorganized and crazy as a whole.

Some people say that among all the major arts (drama, literature, painting and calligraphy, song and dance, film and television), calligraphy is the most unrestrained, and in the name of "innovation", calligraphy is the most capable of subverting tradition. The "Four Madnesses" are a destructive breakthrough that is intended to be irreversible.

For example, Master Liu Hongbiao's cursive calligraphy. Many netizens think that Lao Liu is a busy man and writes like the wind. This is the so-called "crazy writing" and "mad writing". Ordinary people can't understand it at all. Lao Liu also boasts that he is "surpassing the ancients". Damn, this is not the same thing at all. How can it be compared with the ancients?

Regarding Meimei's cursive calligraphy, some netizens complained: "Seeing the master's cursive calligraphy gives me an anti-beauty feeling. Many characters are written randomly. What can you do to me?" Whether it is "Ugly Writing", "Ghostly Painting", or "Chicken Doesn't Pee", it has its own "Tao". I hope this anti-beauty master can enjoy his own fun in his own courtyard and not tarnish the eyes of the public.

Some people, after seeing Zhang Xuguang's cursive script, bluntly said that Master Zhang's "reluctance to lag behind" is also getting crazier and crazier, and less and less in line with the aesthetic standards of Chinese characters. I wonder what the master knew about the brushwork, structure, thickness, thickness, straightness and slant of cursive script when he was painting?

However, some netizens also recognized Wang Houxiang's calligraphy, which is "Cursive Script". Some people praised: "Master Wang's Cursive Script is unique, with skillful brushwork, exquisite skills and extraordinary artistic conception." It seems that among the "Four Great Cursive Scripts", only Wang Houxiang's "Cursive Script" can be regarded as ancient style.

The value of art lies in creation. A true calligraphy artist must have his own style and creativity in his works, and the success or failure of all this needs time to prove. The "Four Madmen" are indeed very talented, but from the public's point of view, they do not want to lose tradition and mess up their cursive writing.
