成语“徐娘半老,风韵犹存”,形容的是尚有姿色的中年妇女,或讽喻那些芳龄虽过却仍浓装艳抹的女子。总之,徐娘在这里是作为美色的代称。其实,历史上的徐娘其人却并无美色。 据《南史·(梁)元帝徐妃传》载:徐娘姓徐名昭佩,天监十六年间嫁给尚未登基的梁元帝萧绎为妃,生下一男一女,虽年过芳龄,却每天画眉描鬓,风风骚骚,极不得体。而且徐昭佩的资容并不艳丽,她肤色晦黑,生就一张大嘴。她还是一个以嗜酒、淫乱、凶狠而著称的“母老虎”。 那么,如此丑陋、凶狠的妇女又怎会和“风韵”联在一起的呢?原来这里另有一番缘故。 据《南史》载:梁元帝“左右暨季江有姿容,(徐)妃与淫通。季江每叹曰:‘柏直狗虽老犹能猎,萧漂阳马虽老犹骏,徐妃虽老犹尚情欲’”。从这段史料 The idiom “milfs, charm still exists,” described the middle-aged women still have beauty, or allegory of those who are still young but still heavily loaded wipe the woman. In short, Xu Niang here is on behalf of the United States as the color. In fact, the history of the cynics but no beauty. According to “Southern History (Liang) Yuan Di Xu Fei Biography” contains: Xu name surnamed Xu Chao, Tianjian 16 years to marry not yet the throne Liang Yuandi Xiao Yi Fei, gave birth to a man and a woman, although over the age of Fang, but Every day the thrush tracing, coquettish, very inappropriate. And Xu Zhaopei's capacity is not bright, her dark complexion, gave birth to a big mouth. She is also a “tigress” known for her drinking, immorality and fierceness. So, so ugly, how vicious women and the “Charm” together? Originally, there was another reason. According to “History of the South” contains: Liang Yuandi “around the Ji and have posed, (Xu) Princess and prostitution .Ji Jiang every sigh said:'Bai straight dogAlso still hunting, Xiao Yun Yangma Although the old Yi Chun, Xu Fei Although the old man is still passionate. ” From this historical data
