〈孔衍《漢魏春秋》曰：許負，河內溫縣之婦人，漢高祖封為明雌亭侯。〈Kong Yan’s Springs and Autumns of Han and Wei identifies Xu Fu as a woman of Wen county in Henei whom Han Gaozu supposedly ennobled as mistress of Mingci village.

臣松之以為今東人呼母為負，衍以許負為婦人，如為有似，然漢高祖時封皆列侯，未有鄉亭之爵，疑此封為不然。〉 Pei Songzhi notes that eastern dialects used fu for “mother,” which may explain Kong Yan’s treating Xu Fu as a woman—yet Gaozu’s reign ennobled only full marquises, never mere village titles, so that fief is almost certainly wrong.
