Note on Reference

• The reference "Xem Chàng Tiêu" suggests a cross-reference. "Chàng Tiêu" likely refers to Tiêu Sử, another historical/mythical figure associated with music. This indicates that in some traditional Vietnamese references, these two names might be linked thematically (e.g., as paragons of talent or virtue), but they are distinct individuals.
