书法作为传达文化的一个最好的艺术载体，似乎早已成为共识，并普遍地为有识之士所接受。于是，在当今国泰民安的时代里，书法有着更为深刻的人文意蕴。

　　我的小同乡徐洁女士，是这个祥和时代蕴育出来的优秀女书法家，当然亦是金华小邹鲁文化的培植之果。

　　读过不少徐洁女士的书法佳作，但从没有去研究过它的流派传承，却蒙胧地认识到这是行草书的一维传统正宗。其书法结构是方整的灵动，稳健的歪斜，字间的呼应，行气的连贯，通篇的韵味。可以说徐洁的书法是书法艺术史上的一种时代波动，亦是书学文化流程里的一员，故而她的前程远大。

　　究徐洁书法创作的动力于魅力，乃是发愤抒情的心旷神怡。她写书制法不是机械性的，而是心情有霞的发微，是情感式的创作或是情迫自然的一种流程。于是徐洁的书法与书法的创作过程能打动观众，激励自己也感染同道，不啻是一位性情之中的女艺术家。

　　书法，对于每个作者讲，首先是当之一种艺术而后当之一种艺术品，徐洁是深知的，由此她少有功利，这就被免了诸多的干扰而能静笃书学的深入与旁证。我想她已经走到了这一步，对一个较成熟的书法家来讲，亦应该是走向探骊得珠的时期了。

　　徐洁的书法最可道的，还是一个情字的书内生发，这是生命的原动，是真善的出入，更是生命张力的表演。书法已经与徐洁的生命结成一体，尔时她的书法成就之高低，便成了她生命的一种切片，但愿这个切片是辉光的，是血肉情节的，是时代与历史的。

                        A Calligraphy Accomplished on Full Emotion
--- Tentative Opinions about Xu Jie’s Calligraphy
                                             Zheng Zhusan

     Calligraphy is a best artistic carrier for conveying culture, and on this people seem to have already reached a consensus long ago, besides it is generally accepted by people of vision. Thereupon, in the present era when the country is prosperous and the people are at peace, calligraphy has a more profound humanistic meaning.

     My younger townswoman Ms. Xu Jie is an excellent calligrapher bred in this peaceful era, and of course a fruit raised by the “Small Zou Lu” culture of Jinhua.

    I have read quite a few good calligraphic works by Ms. Xu Jie, but I have never studied their genres and lineages, however I vaguely know they are the authentic original tradition of the running-cursive script. Her calligraphic structure is nimble in a square, regular way, and skews in a steady manner; the correspondence between characters, the continuity of the running momentum, and the charm throughout the composition. Xu Jie’s calligraphy is a surge of the times in the history of calligraphy as well as a participant in the course of the calligraphy study culture, so to speak, therefore her prospects are very bright.
    
     To sum up after an inquiry, the impetus and charm of her calligraphic creation is the spiritual freedom and joy resulting from unrestrained emotional expression. She performs calligraphy out of the elevation of her feelings like a colorful rainbow after rainfall, and never mechanically; her calligraphy is an emotional creation or a flow of natural emotional compulsion. Thus Ms. Xu Jie’s calligraphy and the process of her calligraphic creation can move audiences, encouraging herself and her fellows, and she is really a female artist of temperament.
  
     For every author or a creator, calligraphy is taken as an art at first and then as an artwork, of this Xu Jie shi is very clear, so she has little desire for material gains, and this makes her free of many distractions and enables her to delve calmly into the depth and collateral evidence of the calligraphy study. I think that, having progressed so far, she should also go towards a phase of bringing out the best for herself as a rather mature calligrapher.
    
     What is most worth mentioning in Xu Jie’s calligraphy is the generation of emotion inside calligraphy, as this is the prime impetus of life, the egress and ingress of true goodness, and more the performance of life’s tension. Calligraphy already integrates with Xu Jie’s life, and in the future, the height of her calligraphic achievement will become a segment of her life, may this segment be glowing, full of flesh and blood, and epochal and historic.
