(Thirty-five; renshen) Emperor Yuan, Yi, changed [the era name] to Chengsheng. (Courtesy name Shicheng; childhood name Qifu. He was Emperor Wu's seventh son. Earlier, his father dreamed of a monk blind in one eye holding an incense burner, who said, 'I entrust my rebirth to the royal palace.' Soon after, his mother dreamed of the moon falling into her bosom; later she gave birth to the Emperor. He was first enfeoffed as Prince of Xiangdong and commanded the righteous troops at Jiangling. After Taicheng fell, he ascended the throne in Jiangling. He then commanded Chen Baxian and Wang Sengbian to defeat Hou Jing. He also composed four quatrains. Xiang, a jinshi of Western Wei, assassinated him. He lived to forty-seven and was on the throne for three years.)
