Xiao Zhi (Tang Dynasty) (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Xiao Zhi (d. 865) was an official of the Chinese dynasty Tang Dynasty, briefly serving as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Yizong. Very little is known about Xiao Zhi's career. His family descended from the imperial house of Liang Dynasty and had a number of members who served as chancellor during Tang Dynasty, including his great-great-grandfather Xiao Song and his grandfather Xiao Fu. However, he had no biography in either of the official histories of Tang, the Book of Tang and the New Book of Tang - although the New Book of Tang noted in his grandfather Xiao Fu's biography: Xiao Fu had a son, Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan had a son, Xiao Zhi, who served as chancellor during the Xiantong era. He had no notable accomplishments, and so history omits his biography.
