文宣帝洋（字子進。高祖次子。承父相位。朝臣使受禪。使中張亮謂孝靜曰。五行遞運有始有終。願陛下遠法堯舜。孝靜斂容避遜而出。齊王洋入即位。降封孝靜為中山王。洋惡過桀紂。復鴆靜帝在位十年。改元天保。壽三十一）。

Emperor Wenxuan, Yang. (Courtesy name Zijin; second son of Gaozu. He inherited his father's position as Chancellor. The court ministers urged him to accept the abdication. The envoy Zhang Liang said to Emperor Xiaojing, 'The Five Phases alternate in movement, having a beginning and an end. May Your Majesty emulate Yao and Shun from afar.' Emperor Xiaojing composed his countenance, yielded in abdication, and departed. Yang, King of Qi, entered and ascended the throne, demoting Xiaojing to King of Zhongshan. Yang's wickedness surpassed that of Jie and Zhou; he then poisoned Emperor Jing. He reigned for ten years, changed the era name to Tianbao, and lived to thirty-one.)
