Empress Xiao (蕭皇后, personal name unknown; c. March 566[1] – 17 April 648[2]), formally Empress Min, was an empress of the Chinese Sui dynasty. Her husband was Emperor Yang of Sui.
- ^ According to Lady Xiao's biography in Book of Sui, she was born in the 2nd lunar month, and that her uncle Xiao Ji died soon after she was given to him to be brought up. As Xiao Ji died in 566, the second lunar month of that year corresponds to 7 Mar to 5 April 566 in the Julian calendar. Also, her brother Xiao Yu's biography in Old Book of Tang mentioned that Lady Xiao was older than Xiao Yu. (萧瑀....。姊为隋晋王妃) Jiu Tang Shu, vol.63. Since Xiao Yu was born in 575, Lady Xiao's birth year should be before 575.
- ^ This date (geng'zi day of the 3rd month of the 22nd year of the Zhen'guan era) is from vol.198 of Zizhi Tongjian. However, Lady Xiao's biography in vol. 14 of History of the Northern Dynasties indicated that she died in the 21st year of the Zhen'guan era of Tang Taizong's reign, which corresponds to 647 in the Julian calendar.
