Gao Changgong (541? – June or July 573^[1]) (Chinese: 高長恭; pinyin: Gāo Chánggōng; Wade–Giles: Kao¹ Chang²-kung¹), formal name Gao Su (Chinese: 高肅; pinyin: Gāo Sù; Wade–Giles: Kao¹ Su⁴) or Gao Xiaoguan (Chinese: 高孝瓘; pinyin: Gāo Xiàogüán; Wade–Giles: Kao¹ Hsiao⁴-chüan²^[2]), was a high-ranking general of the Northern Qi dynasty who was given a fiefdom in Lanling County, southern Shandong, so he was also known as the Prince of Lanling (蘭陵王). Gao Changgong was the grandson of Gao Huan and the fourth son of Gao Cheng. According to the Book of Northern Qi and the Record of the Court Entertainment Bureau, Gao Changgong had a beautiful face and feminine physical appearance. Thus, he always wore a terrible mask when he fought in battles.
