Gao Yuan was from ancient times and was the first known person in history with "Gao" as his surname.

Gao Benrong was the bodyguard of King Mu of Zhou. King Mu went hunting in Zhengpu. There were tigers among the reeds in the swamp. Gao Benrong volunteered to capture the tiger. King Mu was overjoyed and ordered people to build a cage to imprison the tigers and raise them in Dongguo, so "Dongguan" got the name "Tiger Prison". Hulao was later renamed Chenggao and belonged to South Korea during the Warring States Period. In 249 BC, Qin attacked Han, and Han presented Chenggao to Qin. Qin set up a pass here, named "Hulao Pass". It is located on a large mountain, facing the Yellow River in the north, and has cliffs. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. During the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought fiercely here for two and a half years. This place now belongs to Sishui Town, Xingyang, Henan Province.

Gao Qumi was a minister of Zheng Zhuanggong in the early Spring and Autumn Period. Duke Zhuang wanted to appoint him as minister, but the prince, the chief minister in charge of state affairs, objected. Zhuang Gong overcame all opinions and appointed Gao Qumi as minister. When Duke Zhuang passed away, the crown prince succeeded him, and he was Duke Zhao of Zheng. Gao Qumi was worried that Duke Zhao would harm him, so he killed Duke Zhao while accompanying him on a hunting trip and established another king. The next year, Gao Qumi accompanied the new monarch to Weiguo to meet the Marquis of Qi. The Marquis of Qi had an old enmity with the new king, so he took the opportunity to kill him, and Gao Qumi also died.
