If we talk about the most powerful family group in Chinese history, it must be the Guanling Group that created the four dynasties of ancient China: the Western Wei , Northern Zhou , Sui Dynasty , and the Tang Dynasty.
The Guanlong Group has gone through the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties. With its bravery in martial arts, it conquered the East and the West and unified the North and the South. It ended the more than 400 years of divisions in the Wei, Jin, Six Dynasties, and single-handedly created the unprecedented prosperity of the Sui, Sui and Tang dynasties. It can be called the most powerful warlord family group in the history of our country.
1. The establishment of the 'Guanlong Group'
In 534 AD, the Northern Wei Dynasty regime fell apart due to internal struggles for power, and finally split into the Western Wei Dynasty headed by the powerful minister Yu Wentai and the ' Eastern Wei ' headed by the powerful minister Gao Huan. The two families have been fighting each other year after year, trying to destroy each other. In order to maintain the foundation of rule and replenish troops, Yuwentai ordered to "recruit Guanlong powerful people to increase the army." At the same time, in order to reconcile the contradiction between the Xianbei and Han people in the army and restore the martial arts of the Han people, Yuwentai decided to set up eight pillars and twelve generals based on the eight-part system of the early Xianbei tribal military system. At this point, a group that would influence China for more than a century was born. This new group was called the "Guanlong Military Aristocratic Group" by later historians.

2. The glory of the 'Guanlong Group'
After Yuwentai's death, his son Yuwenhu replaced the 'Western Wei' and established himself as emperor in 557 AD, establishing the 'Northern Zhou'. After a slight internal reorganization, the Northern Zhou Dynasty immediately began to use troops against Gao Huan, who also replaced the "Eastern Wei" and established the "Northern Qi". Finally, in 577 AD, the "Northern Qi" was eliminated and northern China was unified.
At this time, Yu Wenhu realized that the power of the "Guanwan Group" was too great, and began to consciously suppress it. From then on, the "Guanlong Group" began an internal struggle for power and profit, suppressing each other. It was not until 581 AD that the "Guanlong Group" established Yang Jian as its leader, and then supported Yang Jian to abolish the "Northern Zhou" and establish the "Sui Dynasty". In 589 AD, the Sui Dynasty unified the country.
After Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty came to the throne in 604 AD, he built the Eastern Capital and the Grand Canal that ran from the north to the south. In addition, he used troops for many years, but internal and external measures excessively consumed the country's power, triggering a civil uprising in the late Sui Dynasty. At this time, people of insight in the "Guanlong Group" began to gather around Li Yuan. In 618 AD, he supported Li Yuan and established the "Tang Dynasty". In 624 AD, the Tang Dynasty unified the country.

3. The "Guanlong Group" was lonely
After Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty came to the throne in 627 AD, he immediately became famous He started to reform the military system and divided the world into ten states including Guannei, Henan, Hebei, Hedong, Shannan, Longyou, Huainan, Jiangnan, Jiannan, and Lingnan, totaling more than 300 states. In the 10th year of Zhenguan, he ordered the establishment of Zhechong Prefectures across the country. "The commander of the army was named Captain Zhechong, and the other general was Captain Guoyi. The general of all the prefectures was called Zhechong Prefecture. There are 634 prefectures in the ten realms in the world, all with names, and the 261 in the pass are all under the control of the guards." Reform In terms of the responsibilities, establishment, equipment, and review of the Fubing , we formulated the principles and policies for the further development of the Fubing System, formed a comprehensive and complete Fubing System, and trained a powerful Fubing unit, thus pushing the Fubing System to its peak period of high development. The military system of Emperor Gaozong's Empress Wu declined, and the military system of Emperor Xuanzong was completely abolished. Since then, the ‘Guanlong Group’, which single-handedly created four dynasties in China, has withdrawn from the stage of history.
