Gao Changgong's father was Gao Cheng, the emperor of Wen Xiang in Northern Qi Dynasty, and the warrior Lan Ling was the title of Gao Changgong. The handsome warrior Lan Ling is described in many books. In the History of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it is said that he is "soft on the outside and firm on the inside, full of sound and emotion". In "The Monument to the Bell of My King in Lanling", he said "cool and colorful"; In the book "Old Tangqu", he said that he was "both talented and beautiful"; In the story of Sui and Tang Dynasties, he was described as a "beauty in white".
His mother's humble position is almost unrecorded in history. The warrior Lan Ling kept a low profile. During the war, the prince and his family's children went to war. Being handsome and gentle is a big obstacle. Therefore, the warrior Lan Ling ordered people to make rough masks, most of which were ferocious and terrible, with powerful fangs, which were worn on their faces every time they went out to shock the enemy and cheer themselves up.
Although the warrior Lan Ling has a soft appearance, he is a famous soldier with both civil and military skills and wisdom and courage in the Northern Dynasties. He is "brave and good at fighting" and "the courage of the three armed forces is invincible." He is brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly made meritorious deeds. Lan Ling, a soldier in life, is kind and enjoys high prestige in the army.
The perfection of the warrior Lan Ling is doomed to his tragedy, because he was born in an imperial family, and there are beautiful trees in the forest. The wind will destroy them, and the success will also cover the Lord, and the defeat will be bleak. Finally, he was jealous by Gao Wei, the ruler of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and was given death by Gao Wei in Wuping four years (573).
