Xiāo Cháng 蕭常, late-twelfth-century Southern-Sòng xiānggòng jìnshì 鄉貢進士 (provincial-level licentiate) of Lúlíng 廬陵 (modern Jí’ān 吉安, Jiāngxī). His father Xiāo Shòupéng 蕭壽朋 (see 蕭壽朋) was unhappy with Chén Shòu 陳壽’s Sānguó zhì — its recognition of Wèi 魏 as legitimate and its corresponding deposition of ShǔHàn 蜀漢 — and had begun to revise it on Xí Zuòchǐ 習鑿齒 / Zhū Xī lines, but died before completing the work. Xiāo Cháng took up the project in execution of his father’s wish and produced over twenty years’ labour the Xù HòuHànshū 續後漢書 (KR2d0012), which sets up the Hàn legitimacy on Liú Bèi (Zhāoliè dì 昭烈帝) and demotes Wèi and Wú to zàijì 載記. The work was presented in Qìngyuán 慶元 6 (1200) with a preface by Zhōu Bìdà 周必大 (1126–1204; see 周必大). Xiāo Cháng held no formal office and took no further examinations; he is otherwise unrecorded outside the Xù HòuHànshū and its prefatory matter. CBDB id 52225 (no dates). The work shares its title with the better-known Xù HòuHànshū of Hǎo Jīng 郝經 (KR2d0013), and the catalog distinguishes the two by surname-prefix (“Xiāoshì” 蕭氏 / “Hǎoshì” 郝氏).
