Xiao Tong, a litterateur in the Southern Dynasties and Prince Zhaoming, introduced how Xiao Tong died.

Xiao Tong was born in Xiangyang in the first year of Zhongxing in the Southern Dynasty (50 1). His father, Xiao Yan, was the secretariat of Yongzhou at that time, guarding Xiangyang. Later, taking advantage of the civil strife in the Southern Dynasties, he seized the throne and established the Liang Dynasty in Jiankang (now Nanjing).

In the first year of Tian Jian (502), in November, Xiao Tong was established as the Crown Prince.

In September of the eighth year of Tian Jian Prison (5 10), Xiao Tong gave a lecture on "The Classic of Filial Piety" in Yu Shou 'an Hall, which fully explained the great significance. After the lecture, I personally explained my persistence in Chinese studies. At the age of twelve, Xiao Tong was very compassionate. When he was twelve years old, he went to watch the trial of prisoners. After studying the case file carefully, he said, "This man's fault is excusable. Can I make a judgment? " The criminal officer agreed, so he was lenient. Afterwards, the criminal officer reported the situation to Liang Wudi Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan praised him.

In the 14th year of Tian Jian (5 16), Liang Wudi Lin Xuan was crowned as a prince in Taijitang. The old prince wore a long crown, a golden cicada and a green tassel, and even a letter to Jinboshan. The prince is personable and well behaved. He read a few lines in parallel and remembered everything. Every time I worship my ancestors, I write poems to a dozen rhymes, and sometimes I write drama rhymes. I thought about it and came out. Nothing is easy. Da Hong Di Buddhism, tell me about it in person. The prince also believes in the three treasures and has read all the classics. Therefore, the Zhizheng Hall was set up in the palace, which was specially collected for the legal circles and attracted famous monks. Self-reliance

In April of the first year of Xiao Tong's portrait and statue (5 19), manna fell to Huiyi Electric, which was considered as the most virtuous feeling. The custom is a little extravagant, and the prince wants to take things for himself, take simple clothes, dress, and eat no meat.

In the ordinary seven years (526), Xiao Tong had bad blood with his father because he was tired of praying.

In March of the third year of China Datong (53 1), she swam to Houchi and took a boat to pick hibiscus. He was rescued after falling into the water and his thigh was injured. She died before she ascended the throne, and was called Prince Zhaoming. Bury the Anning mausoleum. There are sons Xiao Huan, Xiao Yu, Xiao, and.

In the first year of Tianzheng (55 1), he acceded to the throne as filial piety and honored Xiao Tong as Emperor Zhaoming.

In the first year of Dading (555), his son Xiao established Xiliang and honored Xiao Tong as Emperor Zhaoming, with the temple name.

Xiao Tong's main achievement is that he is good at metaphysics, and he has compiled 20 volumes of Collected Works, Preface to Canon 10, 20 volumes of Huaying Collection, 30 volumes of Five-character Poems and Selected Poems of Past Dynasties. The original collection has been lost, and later generations compiled it to show the prince. I also believe in Taoism, Shu Shu and Buddhism. According to legend, it was the Mahayana Buddhist classic "Diamond Sutra" in Han Dynasty. Xiao Tong loves reading and has a strong memory. When I was five years old, I learned the Five Classics of Confucianism. I "memorized all my lines" when I was reading. He prefers to "attract talented people and enjoy love tirelessly." So he is surrounded by a large number of knowledgeable intellectuals, who often get together to "discuss literary works, or discuss ancient and modern with a bachelor, and then write articles, which is normal." "History of the South" originally said that "the East Palace has a collection of 30,000 volumes, gathering talents and flourishing literature, which has never been seen since the Jin and Song Dynasties."

Political Xiao Tong is very compassionate. When he was twelve years old, he went to watch the trial of prisoners. After studying the case file carefully, he said, "This man's fault is excusable. Can I make a judgment? " The criminal officer agreed, so he was lenient. Afterwards, the criminal officer reported the situation to Liang Wudi Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan praised him.

During Liang Ping's reign, food prices in Beijing rose sharply due to the outbreak of war. Xiao Tong ordered the East Palace staff to tighten their belts. Whenever it rains, snows and it is cold, he sends someone to help the refugees with the saved food and clothes. When he is in charge of military uniform affairs, he has to make 3 thousand more clothes every year and distribute them to the poor in winter. At that time, the world was very luxurious. Xiao Tong "wanted to take things, serve them simply, wear their clothes and eat them without meat." Xiao Tong * * * landscape, bad music. Once boating in the back pool, Panyu Hou Guisheng called it appropriate to play female music. Xiao Tong did not answer, reciting Zuo Siyin's poem: "Not necessarily silk and bamboo, mountains and rivers have a clear sound."

When Xiao Tong was young, he was brilliant and well versed in etiquette. His temperament is pure and filial, and his joy is invisible. At the age of sixteen, his mother was seriously ill. He moved from the East Palace to his mother's residence in Yongfu Province, where he was sick day and night and was naked. After his mother died, he was heartbroken and his diet was ruined. His father tried to persuade him to eat several times, but he still refused to eat only fruits and vegetables. He used to be a strong man, but after mourning, he became so thin that officials and people were moved to tears.

Selected Works of Zhaoming Shan Li's Notes on Selected Works of Zhaoming Sixty volumes of Selected Works of Zhaoming is the earliest extant collection of Chinese poetry and prose, which records more than 65.438 million authors and more than 700 literary works of various genres from pre-Qin to Nanliang in 8900. Because it was edited by ming prince and Xiao Tong of Liang Daizhao (50 1—53 1), it is called Zhao Ming's Selected Works. The Selected Works of Zhaoming, presided over by Xiao Tong, is mainly composed of poems and essays, and generally does not accept academic works such as classics, history and philosophy except a few that are regarded as literary works.

The standard of choice is "meditation, profound meaning", that is, kindness and rhetoric are both internal and external, and favoritism is not accepted. Xiao Tong consciously distinguished literary works from academic works and practical writings, which reflected that his understanding of the characteristics and scope of literature became clearer and clearer at that time. There are two main types of annotations of later generations: one is Shan Li's annotations during the Tang Xianqing period, which are divided into 60 volumes from 30 volumes of the original book; One is the Notes of Five Ministers (Lv Yanji, Liu Liang, Lv Xiang and Li) written by Lu in the sixth year of Tang Kaiyuan (7 18). In modern times, there are four series, four essentials and photocopies published by Zhonghua Book Company 1977.

The prose figures' general comment on the book "History of the South" said, "At that time, the East Palace had a collection of 30,000 books, famous people gathered, and the literary atmosphere was flourishing, which was unprecedented since the Jin and Song Dynasties."

The evaluation of Yao Silian in the past dynasties: Prince Zhang Wen is rich, talented and accomplished, and the prince alone makes filial piety.

Sun Chengen: This is a revelation for Germany to smell. Pretend to be thrifty and kind. Compile poems and sentences to enrich ancient records. I am puzzled by Brahma's hidden teachings.

Anecdotal allusions of ancient Xuanpu

The "Ancient Xuanpu" was built in Qi and rebuilt in Liang. It is the private garden of Prince Xiao Tong of Liang Zhaoming. The prince built a pavilion in the garden and dug a good spring pool. Invite everyone to go boating on the lake in the history of literature. During this period, You Yongzhi compiled Selected Works of Zhaoming here.

Gushan hongdu

At that time, southern Liang Wudi believed in Buddhism and built 480 temples in China. Gu Shan built "Xiangshan Kannonji" and built a pavilion called "Wenxuan Building" in the temple. Prince Xiao Tong came to Xiangshan Temple on behalf of his father, for one thing, to avoid court battles, and for another, to carefully edit the anthology. One day, the prince came to gutang, the market at that time, to inspect people's feelings. I happened to meet a beautiful nun named Huiru and inadvertently talked about the essence of Buddhism. As soon as the prince saw Hui Ruminhui, he fell in love with him immediately, and he followed him to buddhist nun, but he was reluctant to give up. Later, I went to buddhist nun for many times to talk about love, but because one was a prince and the other was a nun, I finally got married and the nun died of acacia. When the prince heard the news, he cried, planted double red beans with tears, named the grass temple Red Bean Temple, and left with homesickness. After thousands of years, this tree once declined into a dead tree in the Yuan Dynasty, but in the Qianlong period, four new branches grew on the trunk, which has been growing up to modern times, just like an old tree.

Yiguanzhong Taizi Temple

Prince Zhaoming has long been deeply loved by people in Chizhou, Qiupu, because Prince Zhaoming is not only knowledgeable, but also concerned about people's lives. There was a drought in Chizhou before May19, and there was no harvest in the field. When there was a serious famine among the people in Chizhou, Xiao Tong (Prince Zhaoming) witnessed all this, wrote to the emperor many times, and personally arranged to transport food for disaster relief, so that the people of Chizhou could survive the disaster. After Xiao Tong died, people in Chizhou were crying. Because they respected Zhaoming's virtue and appreciated Zhaoming's talent, they invited Zhaoming's clothes and hats to the court and built Zhaoming's Crown Tomb and Prince Temple in Xiushan, where Zhaoming lived. Ancestors and generations have enshrined a clear memorial tablet (called "Case Bodhisattva").

Zhaoming diaoyutai

Prince Zhaoming has a special relationship with Guichi. Guichi, called Shicheng, is a feudal city of Zhaoming, and Zhaoming is the savior in the eyes of Guichi people. During Tian Jian's period, there was a drought in Shicheng, the fields cracked, the seedlings died, the bare land was thousands of miles away, and there was hunger everywhere. When Prince Zhaoming heard the news, he came to Shicheng to open a warehouse to release grain and help the victims. He is deeply loved by the people, known as the savior and regarded as a god.

Xiao Tong Yu Qiu Xiaohuangtang

Working in the fields near Xiaohuangtang Village in Yixi, you can often find some broken bricks. According to folklore, a long time ago, this area was economically developed and had a large population. There are 18 villages in a ravine less than four or five square kilometers. However, in the Liang Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a great drought, crop failure, plague prevalence, many villagers starved to death, and the village declined and depressed.

At this time, Xiao Tong, the Prince of Zhaoming, toured all over the country to build a temple for his father. On this day, he came to Yiwu and heard that the drought in Yixi was another plague. In order to save the people in from the mire, he immediately went to Yixi for disaster relief.

From Wudian to Yemao Mountain, he only saw people fleeing from the desert to make a living, and he tried his best to persuade people to return to their hometown to live. When he came to Little huang tang, he saw that nine of the ten rooms were incomplete, and all the villagers were sick and could no longer live a normal life. He immediately distributed relief food, and then went into the mountains to find herbs himself. He sprained his foot despite the rugged mountain road and thorns everywhere. Through everyone's efforts, they found a medicine to treat the plague. After returning to the village, he personally took medicine for the villagers. After the villagers took the medicine, the epidemic situation was controlled. Together with the villagers, he built an altar near a round pond in the northwest of the village and prayed for rain in person. After 7 days and 7 nights, it began to turn cloudy, but the rain didn't come down. Thinking that God might blame him for his insincerity, he asked the villagers if there was a quieter place. The villagers said that the scenery of Fogg Rock was magnificent, quiet and beautiful.

He limped up the hill with his injured foot regardless of his pain. He neglected to appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way and climbed to the top of the rock in one breath. Standing on the top of the mountain, I saw the cliffs around me were steep, and thousands of feet stood on the wall. There is only one artificial stone path leading to the top of the rock, and there is no other road to climb. At the foot of Bifeng village, you can see beautiful bamboo and trees on the cliff, and the breeze is slow, which makes people relaxed and happy. Xiao Tong couldn't help admiring: "It's really a lonely peak, a Buddhist holy land." So he knelt on the rock and prayed for rain. It finally began to rain, and the drought eased.

Prince Zhaoming saw that 18 village was vast and sparsely populated, so he mobilized survivors to move and live in a centralized way. He also personally chose a home for the villagers and planned the layout of the village. Judging from the map of Yang Zhai in Xiaohuangtang Village drawn in the 23rd year of Guangxu reign of Qing Dynasty, the village still looks patchy, with beautiful and reasonable layout.

In order not to forget the kindness of the Prince, the villagers built a temple in Wisdom Fofo Agbo Rock to worship his statue, renamed the stone Little Huangyan, and called the pond and the village where they worked Little Don Juan.

Zhaoming tomb memorial tomb

20 13 Two rare large-scale brick tombs of the Southern Dynasties found in Shizichong Tomb in Qixia, Nanjing, have high academic value. The mausoleum was seriously stolen and damaged. The tomb owner speculated that it was Xiao Tong, Prince Zhaoming of the Southern Dynasties, and his biological mother Ding Guikun. However, due to various reasons, the excavation of the tomb was ordered to be backfilled by National Cultural Heritage Administration before it was completed.

Judging from the unearthed cultural relics, although archaeologists missed the best time for rescue excavation because of experts, professors and folk enthusiasts, they formally ruled out the possibility that the Lion Chong Tomb in the Southern Dynasties was Yongning Mausoleum in Chen Wendi, and thought that the tomb owners were most likely Prince Liang Zhaoming and his mother Ding Guikun.
