Gao Su. The warrior Lan Ling's father is Gao Cheng, the eldest son of SHEN WOO Gao Huan, the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but his mother doesn't even have a surname, which makes his life experience confusing. "The Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty" contains: "The Wu Wang of Lanling worked as a filial piety, the fourth son of Wen Xiang." There are six men in Wen Xiang: "Empress Wen Jingyuan gave birth to Wang Xiaowan in Hejian, Wang Xiaoyu in Henan gave birth to Song, and Wang gave birth to Guangning. The warrior Lanling can't take his mother's surname, Chen gave birth to Wang Yanzong and Yan gave birth to Shao Xin." Among the six brothers, King Andrew's mother, Chen, is called "the prostitute of the king" in the history books, but her surname is still known. Only the mother of the soldier Lanling has no surname and doesn't know who it is. From this, people infer that the identity and status of the mother of the warrior Lan Ling, I am afraid, is even worse than that of an official prostitute, and it is likely to be just a humble and nameless maid-in-waiting in the palace. Historically, the warrior Lan Ling was a famous soldier with both civil and military skills and wisdom and courage in the Northern Dynasties. Some people say that he is "brave and good at fighting", while others say that he is "brave and invincible in the three armed forces." This shows that his bravery is not only because he wears a ferocious mask. Threats alone will certainly not scare off the enemy. The key is that he has his own fighting skills beyond ordinary people. The ferocious mask only adds a legendary aura to his bravery and invincibility. The warrior Lan Ling is not only brave and good at fighting, but also has outstanding achievements. He was loyal to this matter and waited for its success, which was widely known in the military and society at that time. Wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will be destroyed, work will cover the Lord, and disaster will fall. The pinnacle of life glory may often be the starting point of tragedy. For the warrior Lan Ling, the biggest sorrow is that he was born into a crazy, almost abnormal royal family. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, in just 28 years, there have been six emperors in the Northern Dynasties. It's terrible that uncles torture each other and brothers kill each other. One is shorter than the other, and one is crazier than the other. Although the warrior Lan Ling has a soft appearance, outstanding military exploits, and has been careful all his life, he has tried his best to avoid disasters and protect himself, but he still can't change his tragic fate. Gao Wei, the ruler of the late Northern Qi Dynasty, was weak. Compared with his ancestors, Gao Wei is more dissolute and less cruel, but he is not soft when he kills his relatives. One day in 565 AD, Gao Wei and the warrior Lan Ling talked about the victory of Mangshan, and said humanely, "It's too late to regret the war." The soldier Lan Ling was excited and enthusiastic when he heard that his brother was so distressed by himself. He replied affectionately, "My family is good, but I don't feel it." It was this expression of intimacy and loyalty that led to his death. The history book says, "The emperor disliked family matters, so he avoided them." Because in the eyes of Gao Wei, the narrow-minded ruler, family affairs are my Gao Wei's, not something you casually say. I began to wonder whether the warrior Lan Ling, who has the military power, wants to replace it and turn "state affairs" into "family affairs".
After the warrior Lan Ling said the wrong thing, he was deeply troubled and worried all day long. Although he has repeatedly kept a low profile and deliberately played down himself, he can't escape the tragic fate of "if you tell me to die, I have to die". One day in May in the fourth year of Wuping (AD 573), the late Lord Gao Wei sent an envoy to visit his brother Gao Su, and the gift was a glass of poisoned wine. The warrior Lan Ling was so angry that he said to his beloved Princess Zheng, "I am loyal to my work, and I am embarrassed by heaven!" Zheng Fei advised him, "Why don't you ask God?" Naive Zheng Fei thought it might just be a misunderstanding between brothers. As long as Gao Su intercedes with the emperor, he can get his own life back. And the warrior Lan Ling himself knows that it is useless to find a backward master to explain. A year ago, Hu Luguang, a etiquette veteran who fought bravely with himself, was also innocently lured into the palace and brutally strangled with a bowstring. In despair, the soldier Lan Ling left a sentence, "How can I see the beauty of heaven?" So he gulped it down and resolutely left this messy world. Burn all the bonds before he dies. At that time, the warrior Lan Ling was only 30 years old and was buried in the capital city of Yexi (now Linzhang County, Handan) after his death. The killing of the military commander Lan Ling marked the end of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Four years later, the Northern Qi Dynasty, which lost its military pillar, was destroyed by the Northern Zhou Emperor Yu Wenyong, and almost all the descendants of Gao were slaughtered.
The soldier Lanling Gaosu Tomb is located 5 kilometers south of Cixian County, Handan City. The tomb is very high, surrounded by transparent walls, and there is a pavilion in the cemetery. 1920, local villagers dug up the monument of the warrior Gao Su in Lanling when they were building roads to borrow soil. Yang Wen's four lines and sixteen characters are engraved on the tablet: "The tablet of Lanling loyal to King Wu is the same as Huang Yue's, with the right teacher and the right comfort". The inscription truly records the life experience of the warrior Lan Ling Gao Su and the year of the monument. Although the handwriting is dim, it is still vigorous and simple. Because of its historical value and artistic value of calligraphy, it is called the first product of North Monument. 1988, the warrior lanling monument was listed as a key protected cultural relic by the state.
The Ensemble of Warrior Lan Ling
This kind of dance belongs to the court music and spread to Japan, and the Japanese listed it as an elegant dance. Until now, when the annual Japanese classical music and dance performance was held in Nara, Japan on 1 month 15, "Brave Lanling Ensemble" was still the first solo program. There is also a dress engraved with "The King of the Ancient Music and Loring in the East Temple" in the Masakura Courtyard of Nara Temple in Japan, which was signed on April 9, the fourth year of Tianping Shengbao, that is, the eleventh year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty (AD 752). The Japanese not only preserved the ensemble of the warrior Lan Ling, but also preserved 64 song and dance masks of the warrior Lan Ling. The earliest two pieces have the inscription 12 1 1 year (Song Dynasty). In addition, the Japanese ancient painting material Guletu (painted in the12nd century, equivalent to the Northern Song Dynasty) also painted many songs and dances in the Tang Dynasty, including the Warrior Lanling.
