Abstract: Emperor Liang wu XiaoYan's lifetime was related to Buddhism. It was always a splendid stroke in the history of ancient Chinese Buddhism. He believed in, and upheld Buddhism as a monarch in a devout and crazy mood. Religion, politics, selfishness and selflessness got entangled complicatedly. Xiao Yan defined his identity of Buddhist consciously, his ideological foundation and his religious practice closely connected with his identity of feudal monarch, which leave behind lots of legends and controversy.
