The Gao clan were descendants of Gao Shengtai, whom was the emperor of Dali from 1094 to 1096.[1][2] The Gao clan ruled Yao'an for more than 700 years, surviving several dynastic changes in China, until its last ruler Gao Houde was arrested by Qing Chinese in 1725.[3] In 1729, Yao'an was fully annexed into the central bureaucratic system of the Qing dynasty.[4]
