Why does "semi-old" have to be surnamed Xu?

"Xu Niang's semi-old" is often used to describe an attractive old woman, which is a bit derogatory, but very strange. Why are there so many former Sun Zhao, Li, Zhou, Wu and Zheng Wang? Among hundreds of surnames, why does this woman have to take the surname "Xu" instead of other surnames? Many people may not know.

It turns out that all this has something to do with the experience of 1500 years ago when Emperor Liang Yuan of the Southern Dynasties translated dog blood.

Speaking of this historical record of Xiao's translation, this man is very smart, talented and beautiful. His calligraphy and painting are praised as three wonders by the world. In particular, his paintings had a great influence on the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but there was a fly in the ointment. He himself became blind in one eye because of illness and became the only one-eyed emperor in history.

But this is not his most unfortunate, the most unfortunate is his marriage. Xu Zhaopei, the wife of Emperor Liang Yuan, was born into a noble family. She is the granddaughter of Qiu Qi who lived in the southern dynasties and the daughter of General Liang Xu Kun. She married Xiao Yi, then the king of eastern Hunan. It stands to reason that marriage should be happy, perhaps because it is an arranged marriage. After marriage, the two were not very friendly. Coupled with his appearance and Xu Zhaopei's love of drinking, he often got as drunk as a fiddler. Therefore, Xiao Yi hates Xu Zhaopei, seldom goes to Xu Zhaopei's residence, and only has sex with her once every two or three years, although they still have a son and a daughter together.

Xu Zhaopei himself didn't like Xiao Yi's one-eyed translation, and he often felt sick and laughed at Xiao Yi's translation. Whenever Xiao Yi was in a good mood and came to Xu Zhaopei's residence, Xu Pei only painted half makeup to satirize the sight that Xiao Yi had only one eye. This recruit is too vicious, the psychological blow to Xiao Yi can be imagined, and Xiao Yi is even more angry. At the sight of half-made makeup, he left angrily at once. Li Shangyin once wrote a poem "Southern Dynasties" to describe this scene: "The land is long and the nature is long, and the king of Jinling should be radiant. Don't boast that this place is divided into the world, so Xu Fei has to wear half a face. " Xu Zhaopei also drinks. If he meets Xiao Yi when he is drunk, he will deliberately throw up on Xiao Yi's clothes. Xu Zhaopei's inhuman behavior is caused by psychopathy. This shows that Xu Zhaopei is not satisfied with his marriage.

Xiao Yi seldom goes to Xu Zhaopei's residence, but often stays with other concubines. Coupled with the loneliness in the palace, as time goes by, Xu Zhaopei is getting older and older. In order to fill the emptiness in her heart, she began to look for a face. First, I had an affair with the wisdom of the Hall of Great Heroes, then with my ministers, and then with He Hui in The Nun, writing love poems to each other on white pillows. This kind of thing was originally a privacy between Xu Zhaopei and her lover, but Ji Jijiang couldn't hold back, and often secretly sighed with others: "Although the white dog is old, it can still hunt. Xiao Li Yangma is handsome when he is old, and Xu Niang is old. It means that white hounds can still catch their prey when they are old, and Liyang's horses are fine when they are old. Although Xu Zhaopei and Xu Niang are still affectionate. This is the earliest origin of "semi-old Xu Niang". As the saying goes, there is no windtight wall. When Xiao Yi knew these things, he flew into a rage. In the face of cuckolded Xu Zhaopei, no man can tolerate it, even if he doesn't like this woman. Xiao Yi ordered the execution of all Xu Zhaopei's lovers.

Later, Xiao Yi didn't go to Xu Zhaopei's residence. Over time, Xu Zhaopei, who had nothing to do, became jealous like many queens. Although he doesn't love Xiao Yi, he usually likes to hand over those unloved concubines, but once he finds out that his concubines are pregnant, he immediately becomes jealous and even kills each other with a knife.

Later, the favorite concubine Wang died after giving birth to a child. Xiao Yi blamed him on Xu Zhaopei and forced her to commit suicide. Xu Zhaopei then jumped into the well and died. After her death, Xiao Yi sent her body back to her mother's house, calling it a "wife", that is, she wanted to divorce her after her death, which shows Xiao Yi's aversion to Xu Zhaopei.

Xiao Yi even wrote a poem "The Golden House" to describe Xu Zhaopei's lewd behavior.

Slut Qiu Si.

After ten years of separation, women are encouraged to live in self-pity. Climbing the stairs-look, but see the trees in the distance contain smoke; The plain is so, I wonder how many roads there are? Heaven and water pressure each other, mountains and clouds * * *. The mountain is gray and the water is slippery. Who can see a bird with only one wing flying and moaning? When autumn is not clear, when autumn is not clear. The situation is a slut who advocates architecture, and this injury.

The dew will break the court and frost the steps; Sit down and observe the length of the belt and turn to the waist. Pay attention to the autumn waters and waves, and the autumn clouds are like a Luo. As soon as the sun is dark, it is dusk, so you cross the river in pettish. My concubine complains about Wen Jin, and your sadness fills the song. Look at each other, how far is it? My sideburns are drifting away, and I turn to lament. Sorrow, sadness, eyebrows, tears. It's over! Autumn leaves fly in the autumn wind, and spring flowers fall in the spring. Spring is still late, and the guests are gone forever.

The life of these two people is really a life of mutual hatred and killing each other.

Xu Zhaopei died, but the title of "semi-old Xu Niang" has been handed down, and "Xu Niang is semi-old, and her charm still exists" has become people's daily language, in which the meaning of ridicule is almost Yoshioka's sigh.
