萧统
In 522, Xiao Tong's uncle Xiao Dan () the Prince of Shixing died. By custom, a crown prince would not hold a mourning period for an uncle, but Xiao Tong believed this custom to be unfilial, and therefore requested the officials to further discuss the matter. After the official Liu Xiaochuo () suggested that he hold a one-month mourning period, he agreed, and in fact made this a precedent for the Liang Dynasty.
