ENTRIES Xiao Bi 蕭賁 ENTRIES Xiao Bi 蕭賁 (d. 549), zi Wenhuan 文奐 Southern Liang literatus. Xiao Bi’s personal name is also read Ben. Xiao Bi’s ancestral home was Nan Lanling 南蘭陵 (northwest of modern Changzhou). His grandfather Xiao Ziliang 蕭子良 (460–494) was Prince of Jingling 竟陵 of the Southern Qi period. His father Xiao Zhaozhou 蕭昭冑 (d. 501) was killed at end of the Southern Qi. Xiao Bi showed a talent for scholarship at an early age. He was also a skilled writer, calligrapher, and painter. He was well known for the miniature landscapes he painted on fans. Xiao Bi began his official career in the law section in the administration of Xiao Yi 蕭繹 (508–554), Prince of Xiangdong 湘東. In 549, the forces of the rebel leader Hou Jing 侯景 (503–552) surrounded the capital Jiankang. Xiao Bi offended Xiao Yi by advising him to send troops to rescue the captured city. He further offended the prince by commenting on the war proclamation that Xiao Yi issued against Hou Jing’s army. In a rage, Xiao Yi ordered Xiao Bi put into prison where he died of starvation. Xiao Bi’s biography in the Nan shi (44.1106) mentions that Xiao Bi compiled a work titled Xijing zaji 西京雜記 (Diverse notes on the Western Capital) in sixty-juan. This is the same title of a collection of anecdotes about Western Han period Chang’an which has been variously attributed to Liu Xin 劉歆 (d. 23), Ge Hong 葛洪 (28 3–363), and Wu Jun 吳均 (469– 520). Lao Kan and William Nienhauser accept the attribution to Xiao Bi. The monograph on bibliography of the Sui shu lists Xiao Bi’s Bianlin 辯林 (Grove of argumentation) in twenty juan, which was also lost already in the Tang. This seems to be a collection of persuasions. His only extant poem “Chang’an dao” 長安道 (Road to Chang’an) is included in the Wenyuan yinhua, Yuefu shiji, and Xian Qin Han Wei Jin Nanbeichao shi.

His father Xiao Cha 蕭詧 (519–562) was the third son of Xiao Tong 蕭統 (501–531), Crown Prince Zhaoming 昭明 of Liang. Xiao Cen was the eighth son of Xiao Cha, Emperor Xuan 宣 (r. 554–562) of the Later (or Western) Liang in 554. When Xiao Cha passed away, his third son Xiao Kui 蕭巋 (542–585) succeeded to the throne. Xiao Cen served as defender-in-chief in his brother’s court. He was a simple but noble person, and handled administrative matters in a meticulous manner. In 585, Xiao Kui passed away and was succeeded by his son Xiao Cong 蕭琮 (d. 607). Xiao Cen’s brief biography in the Zhou shu (48.867) mentions that after Xiao Cong ascended the throne, Xiao Cen abused his seniority and prestige to engage in illegal activities. During the early Sui dynasty, he was appointed general-in-chief and granted the title Duke of Huaiyi com- mandery. Xiao Cen’s only extant poem “Zhao ge xing” 櫂歌行 (Boatman’s song) is included in the Yuefu shiji and Xian Qin Han Wei Jin Nanbeichao shi.

  • Epilogue the Aftermath and the Romanticization of the Liang
    epilogue The Aftermath and the Romanticization of the Liang With the Hou Jing Rebellion and the fall of the Liang, the cultural world of the Southern Dynasties came to an end—the Chen was but a fading echo of the Liang. But if the Liang officially ended in 557, its life contin- ued long afterward, both politically and culturally. After the sacking of Jiangling in 555, the Western Wei set up Xiao Cha 蕭詧, Xiao Tong’s third son, as the new ruler of Liang; his territory was limited to Jingzhou and sandwiched between the Western Wei, the Eastern Wei, and the Chen. Although subordinated to the Western Wei, Xiao Cha neverthe- less ruled over the small portion of land as emperor, and his dynasty is known as the Latter Liang 後梁. It lasted thirty-three years, almost as long as the Liang itself. Xiao Cha died at the age of forty-three in 562 and received the posthumous title, Emperor Xuan 宣帝. The throne passed to his third son, Xiao Kui 蕭巋, Emperor Ming 明帝. In 582 Xiao Kui’s daughter was chosen to be the consort of the Sui prince Yang Guang 楊廣, better known as Emperor Yang of the Sui or Sui Yangdi 隋煬帝 (r. 605–17). Emperor Wen of the Sui treated Xiao Kui with exceptional generosity; at the suggestion of his wife, Em- press Yang, he even dismissed the Sui army stationed in the Western City of Jiangling. He also told Xiao Kui that he would conquer the Chen and escort Xiao Kui back to Jiankang.

  • The Making of a Crown Prince
    1 The Making of a Crown Prince Yangdi, né Yang Guang , was born in 569 into a powerful aristocratic clan of North China.1 The sources trace its origin to Yang Zhen , a most illus- trious figure of the Eastern Han, from Huayin in Hongnong (in Shaanxi). But information on the ancestors after Zhen is murky until the times of Yangdi’s grandfather, Yang Zhong , who, according to some accounts in the standard histories, once made his home in Wuchuan Garrison (west of Wuchuan, central Inner Mongolia). As one of the six strategic fron- tier outposts known as the Six Garrisons in Northern Wei times, Wuchuan is considered the crucial geographical element for the all-powerful Wuchuan clique in Western Wei times. But the traditional genealogy of the Yangs con- tains erroneous, perhaps fictitious information, and the Yangs’ connections with Huayin and Wuchuan are challenged by some scholars. Nevertheless, what matters most is not so much the verifiability of such connections as the assumption the Yangs held of them, and the perception it created. It is in that sense that I treat Huayin as the native place of the Yangs where they located their choronym, and Wuchuan as a key geographical name Yang Zhong was identified with.2 Known in his youth for his poise and intelligence, Yangdi was the favorite son of the Yang family. He was endowed with a remarkable talent for litera- ture and loved the pursuit of knowledge. He could have easily succeeded as a career official at court. But the course of events in his lifetime led him to a more important role in history.3 The age he lived in was one of extraordinary transformation.
