Xiao Tong
During this period, Xiao Tong and others compiled a compendium of ancient poetry and texts, which he referred to as "Wenxuan" (文選, "Selections of Refined Literature"), which was later known after his death, by his posthumous name, as the "Zhaoming Wenxuan" (). It is a work of historical importance, as it preserved many ancient texts which otherwise might have been lost.
