Emperor Gao of Southern Qi ((南)齊高帝; 427– 11 April 482[2]), personal name Xiao Daocheng (蕭道成), courtesy name Shaobo (紹伯), childhood name Doujiang (鬥將), was the founding emperor of the Southern Qi dynasty of China. He served as a general under the preceding dynasty Liu Song's Emperor Ming and Emperor Houfei. In 477, fearful that the young, cruel Emperor Houfei would kill him, he assassinated Emperor Houfei and seized power, eventually taking the throne in 479 to start Southern Qi.
^ The title was awarded posthumously, as Emperor Gao's wife Liu Zhirong had died in 472 (1st year of the Tai'yu era of the reign of Emperor Ming of Song, per Lady Liu's biography in Nan Qi Shu) at the age of 50 (by East Asian reckoning).
^According to Xiao Daocheng's biography in Book of Southern Qi, he died aged 56 (by East Asian reckoning) on the renxu day of the 3rd month of the 4th year of the Jianyuan era of his reign. This corresponds to 11 Apr 482 on the Julian calendar. [(建元四年三月)壬戌，上崩於临光殿，年五十六。] Nan Qi Shu, vol.02
