The prototype of the warrior Lan Ling in ancient China was Gao Changgong, a famous imperial clan in the Northern Qi Dynasty. He is not only the grandson of Gao Huan, but also as famous as Pan An, Song Yu and Wei Jie. He is known as one of the four handsome boys in ancient China. If only from the appearance, it should be more handsome than the warrior Lan Ling in film and television works, otherwise it will not be called one of the four beautiful men.
In the Biography of Gao Changgong in the Northern Qi Dynasty, his appearance was recorded as follows: "Long and respectful, soft and strong, full of emotions." Although there is not much embellishment, it is only said that he is gentle in appearance and affectionate. After all, he is one of the few men in China history who can be compared with Pan An, which is naturally unusual.
As the grandson of Gao Huan, a powerful minister in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Gao Changgong was born in an official family, but his early career was not particularly good, and he could not be compared with his brother at all, perhaps because of his mother. After all, his birth mother is unknown, and he is not born to Gao Cheng's wife, so he is naturally unpopular. It was not until later that I became an assistant minister of straight riding that I began to have the opportunity to get ahead. In the first year of Gan Ming in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Changgong, whose official career was relatively smooth, was directly appointed as the warrior Lan Ling and served as the secretariat of Bingzhou. He officially became an important official of the court and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.
When Khan, the general of Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Zhonghe Turkic Wooden Rod, sent troops to attack Northern Qi, it directly threatened the security of Bing. Gao Changgong, as the secretariat of Bing, took part in the war and won, and became famous for a time. It is said that he later took part in the battle of Mangshan and won a great victory, which led to the famous song "Warrior Lan Ling Entering the Array". However, it was not the victory of this battle that laid the groundwork for the later monarch and ministers to avoid each other. Even the warrior Lan Ling ended up drinking.
