Emperor Wucheng of Northern Qi
Emperor Wucheng of Northern Qi ((北)齊武成帝) (537–569), personal name
Gao Zhan (高湛; also romanized as
Gao Dan), nickname
Buluoji (步落稽), was an
emperor of the Chinese
Northern Qi dynasty. In traditional Chinese historiography, he was presented as a minimally competent ruler who devoted much of his time to feasting and pleasure-seeking, neglecting the affairs of the state. The state was governed with assistance from his adviser
He Shikai and other appointed administrators. In 565, he passed the throne to his young son
Gao Wei, taking the title ''
Taishang Huang'' (retired emperor), but continued to make key decisions. He died in 569 at the age of 31, and the Northern Qi would fall in 577.
