Recently, I read a book review about calligraphy on the Internet, which said that the current calligraphy circle is a very large circle, and many "masters" will lower their status and do some low-level things, which made me speechless. In fact, this is not without basis, but real. For example, Han Meilin often plays these tricks.

As we all know, Han Meilin is a sculptor with great influence in contemporary China. He has made great achievements in painting, calligraphy, sculpture, ceramics and other aspects. His artistic style is unique and praised by people. But no one expected that this great painter would also use calligraphy. Many of his paintings are like monkeys, and even the words are incomprehensible.

What is even more outrageous is that Han Meilin called those self-entertaining and serious graffiti "Han's Heavenly Book" and boasted that he had a very thorough study of ancient characters, dating back to bronze inscriptions, stone drum inscriptions, and oracle bone inscriptions from more than 2,000 years ago, as well as some signs and symbols that even archaeologists could not understand. He slowly created this "Han's Heavenly Book" like a painting.

The author believes that although "Han's Heavenly Book" is not ugly and has considerable aesthetic appeal, its content is too funny to be defined as calligraphy. Some sharp-eyed netizens can even "hide" a few monkeys with big eyes looking around, as well as various strange things in "Han's Heavenly Book", just like a "high-resolution map of monkey heads", which people can't understand anyway.

Some people joked that Han Meilin was the closest friend of the monkeys. He was afraid that the monkeys would get lost on the journey to the West, so he worked hard and drew a "high-definition map of monkey heads". The monkeys should be grateful for his unique creativity and rich imagination. No wonder some people say that Han Meilin is the most creative painter in the world today.

To put it bluntly, Master Han turned his calligraphy into a high-definition map of monkeys. This is certainly a form of entertainment, but it is also a form of mystification and deception, and there is no real innovation. Regarding this point, some old guys in the calligraphy world are blunt: "Han Meilin is a beginner, especially because he mixed artistic elements into calligraphy, he has embarked on a wrong path and is a great scourge to calligraphy."
