I admittedly don't know anything about China or Chinese Culture, but from what I could drag up, 'Taiyang' would be a bad search term to look for. It means approximately 'Sun', which is a concept which has been used extensively in cultures all over the world. 'Xiao Long' isn't much better, as it means 'Little Dragon', and dragons are common in Chinese culture. This would mean you would likely have to go through hundreds of poems to find any good leads, and even then, I don't think any obscure poems would be referenced so heavily as to base a character off of it. Another point is that the actual character likely doesn't have the same name as Tai does in the series, as shown with your examples of Raven and Qrow likely being based off of Huginn and Munnin, vastly different names to their counterparts in the series.

Sorry for not being of any help, but I suggest to search using more popular material, and more character based search terms, not name based.
