徐灿，字湘蘋，又字明霞、明深，江苏吴县（今苏州市吴中区、相城区）人。

陈之遴继配。

幼颖悟，通书史。

陈之遴两次流徙，均曾随行。

康熙十年（1671），奉旨归之遴之骨。

晚年学佛，更号紫?

。

早年雅好吟咏，尤喜为词。

被词人陈维崧誉为南宋后闺秀第一。

有 拙政园诗馀　 拙政园诗集　。

徐灿 水龙吟次素庵韵感旧　合欢花下留连，当时曾向君家道。

悲欢转眼，花还如梦，那能长好。

真个而今，台空花尽，乱烟荒草。

算一番风月，一番花柳，各自斗，春风巧。

休叹花神去杳。

有题花锦笺香稿。

红阴舒卷，绿阴浓淡，对人犹笑。

把酒微吟，譬如旧侣，梦中重到。

请从今、秉烛看花，切莫待，花枝老。

Shuilong yin:Matching Su’an’s Rhymes, Moved by the Past Xu CanUnder the silk tree’s 1 flowers we lingered;Then, I once tried to explain to you:Joy and sorrow turn in the blink of an eye,Flowers, too, are like a dreamHow can they bloom forever?

Now indeedThe terrace is empty, the blossoms are gone,Leaving weeds enwrapped in sprawling mist.

I recall the time of splendid sights,The time of bustling glamour,Each seizing on the spring breeze to show its charm.

Sigh not that the flower-spirit has gone afar;There are fragrant flower poems inscribed on floral paper.

Here, pink blossoms open and close,Green shade hangs dense and sparse,Greeting us as though with a smile.

Holding a cup, we may chant softly,As if our old companionsHave returned in our dream.

From now on,Candle in hand, let us admire the flowers;Never wait till the flower sprigs have grown old.
