Linux cannot connect to X server

I want to use wb_view on remote server and view it from local client. However, when I use ssh user@localhost to login to the server, it reports errors as following.

wb_view: cannot connect to X server

What I then did was use ssh -X user@localhost instead of ssh user@localhost, Workbench could run normally. From description, this problem about GUI has something to do with xhost, which I would like to learn more about later.
