There are many learned kings in history who danced with pen and ink, but there are very few like Xiao Tong. Xiao Tong is the white lotus in troubled times, blooming in luxury, not coquettish or ostentatious, living in his own literary world and living his own comfortable life. He devoted himself to writing, and his works from 0755 to 79000 had a great influence on later generations of scholars, who formed "anthology". The appearance of Xiao Tong injected a gentle breeze into the smoky Southern Liang.
"Selected Works": The prince was born smart and wise. At the age of three, he collected "Book of Liang" and "Book of Filial Piety". When he was five years old, he read the Five Classics thoroughly and knew that he could recite them sarcastically. In May 2005, Geng Xu began to live in the East Palace. Prince Inhyo has been in love since he left the palace. We saw a sentimental and extremely smart Prince Liang. Xiao Tong is a smart man who loves reading. At the age of five, he had read through the Five Classics, and he could also be sarcastic. I have a strong memory. When reading, I often read several lines at a time, and over time I will be able to speak my mind.
His father's personality was completely different. He is not like his father, Emperor Wu of Liang, who has been a soldier and an iron man all his life. However, this prince is sentimental, loves literature and history, is noble but not arrogant, and is quiet and conscious. Generally scholars are inextricably linked with the word romance, but this is a completely independent prince, hardly like a woman. Not only that, Xiao Tong was also a filial son. "He was filial by nature, and he was always reluctant to leave the palace after leaving the palace." History books record that he was a family-loving person and was naturally emotional. He even stayed with his mother day and night when she was seriously ill, and even went on a hunger strike when her mother passed away. Such a gentle prince with both political integrity and talent has been praised by many people.
As time passed, Xiao Tong's ability to control literature became stronger and stronger, and he gradually became addicted to the world of literature and became out of control. He once explained "The Analects of Confucius" to everyone in Shou'an Hall. His courage and insight were outstanding and he was praised by everyone. After he concluded his speech, he personally explained his contribution to China studies. He also summoned eminent monks to discuss Buddhism and found that Zhuo Yuan was quite insightful.
In the extravagant dynasty, he was the only person who was not affected by the secular world, pursued frugality, obeyed simplicity, and devoted himself to the field of literature. He is like a white lotus in troubled times, emerging from the mud but unstained. Its quality is noble and full of poetry. It is said that "At that time, the East Palace had a collection of 30,000 volumes of books, and celebrities gathered together. The literary atmosphere at that time was at its peak, unprecedented since the two Jin Dynasties." Therefore, he made great achievements in literature. He has compiled or written 20 volumes of "The Classic of Filial Piety", 10 volumes of classical letters in "Southern History", 20 volumes of essences of five-character poems in "Collected Works", and 30 volumes of poetry from past dynasties. Xiao Tong believed in Buddhism, and he was responsible for editing and editing the "Thirty-two Rules" of the famous Buddhist Mahayana classic "The Preface".
Such a poetic prince, there is one
In the seventh year of his ordinary life, the unprincipled crown prince Xiao Tong had a rift with his father because of the wax goose's tiredness in praying. He attributed his political failure to reading. He ordered people to burn all 140,000 books, saying that "too much reading has caused today's disaster", which triggered the largest cultural destruction in Chinese history
In March of the third year of Datong, I traveled Go to Houchi, take a boat to pick hibiscus, and Renji rows a boat. He was rescued after falling into the water, injured his thigh, and died young before he ascended the throne. I was named Prince Zhaoming.
