Biography

徐苗,高密淳于人。
晋书卷九十一 列传第六十一:
  徐苗,字叔胄,高密淳于人也。累世相承,皆以博士为郡守。曾祖华,有至行。尝宿亭舍,夜有神人告之"亭欲崩",遽出,得免。祖邵,为魏尚书郎,以廉直见称。苗少家贫,昼执锄耒,夜则吟诵。弱冠,与弟贾就博士济南宋钧受业,遂为儒宗。作《五经同异评》,又依道家著《玄微论》,前后所造数万言,皆有义味。性抗烈,轻财贵义,兼有知人之鉴。弟患口痈,脓溃,苗为吮之。其兄弟皆早亡,抚养孤遗,慈爱闻于州里,田宅奴婢尽推与之。乡邻有死者,便辍耕助营棺椁,门生亡于家,即敛于讲堂。其行己纯至,类皆如此。远近咸归其义,师其行焉。郡察孝廉,州辟从事、治中、别驾、举异行,公府五辟博士,再征,并不就。武惠时计吏至台,帝辄访其安不。永宁二年卒,遗命濯巾浣衣,榆棺杂砖,露车载尸,苇席瓦器而已。
