徐北文先生,首先是位学者、诗人,书法是他的爱好,虽也受名师指点,自幼受过基本训练,并有自己的风格,但是他从未以书法家自居。因此,他既未举办过个人展览会,也不参与书法界的评比,更未出版过书法专集。他的墨宝,我们只能从一些报刊书籍的插页和图版中见到,若不,就只能凭偶然的机会遇见其真迹了。 Mr. Xu Beiwen, first of all is a scholar, poet, and his calligraphy is his hobby. Although he was also instructed by a teacher, he had had basic training since childhood and had his own style, but he never considered himself a calligrapher. Therefore, he did not hold a personal exhibition, nor participate in the calligrapher’s appraisal, but did not publish a calligraphy album. His ink, we can only see from the inserts and plates of some newspapers and magazines, if not, we can only meet by chance by chance.
