Wang (Chinese, Princeton U.) explores a period that has been left out of the history of the Southern court and its writings in sixth-century China, but also both condemned and championed for its unrestrained indulgence in sound and sight. Convention holds that sensual pleasures led to the downfall of Jiankang, the Southern capital, but he finds in the work of crown prince Xiao Tong circumspection and restraint, a dedication to balance rather than extremity. His perspectives are born and bred to be a ruler, gentlemanly style: Xiao Tong's literary inclination, writing for the crown prince: worthy with words, Xiao Tong's encounters with Buddhism, and pondering on reclusion and rulership.
