问题 问答题

“壮”、“强”、“艾”各指多大年龄?

答案

参考答案:

古代男子三十岁为壮,按照《礼记·曲礼上》的说法:“三十曰壮,有室。”意思就是说三十岁时,人的身体发育已经完成,已经是壮年,应该有家室了。成家就要担负起责任,所以,孔子在《论语》中说“三十而立”。

古代四十称“强”。《礼记·曲礼上》记载:“四十曰强,而仕。”意思是说男子到了四十岁,智慧、气力皆强盛,就可以出仕做官了。后遂以“强仕”为四十岁的代称。如《梁书·张纲传》:“且年甫强仕,方申才力。”

艾则是指男子五十岁。《礼记·曲礼上》:“五十曰艾,服官政。”孔颖达疏:“发苍白如艾也。”艾草的颜色为苍白色,也就是说人到了五十岁的时候,头发就苍白如艾。也指五十岁以上的老人。如桓宽《盐铁论·未通》曰:“五十以上曰艾老。”唐代刘禹锡在《汝州谢上表》中也有“伏蒙圣泽,救此天灾,疲羸再苏,幼艾同感”的句子。
