Jiang Hong came from Jiyang and was a poet of the Southern Qi–Liang years. When Xiao Ziliang, Prince of Jingling, recruited writers to his Western Mansion, Jiang was a student at the Imperial Academy and was among those summoned with Wang Sengru and Yu Xi; at a candlelit gathering he took part in the bronze-bowl rhyming contest. He later became magistrate of Jianyang and was put to death for an offence. His dates are unknown; the Yutai Xinyong preserves eight poems by him, mostly on objects and on women's feelings.
