萧统
Xiao Tong is survived by his great literary compendium, the "Wenxuan", an anthology of literature divided into 60 chapters. Chapter 29 preserves the "Nineteen Old Poems", a major source for early Classical Chinese poetry. Xiao appears to consider these to be anonymous works, a view supported by modern scholarship, despite the claims of Xu Ling in his "New Songs from the Jade Terrace".
