Gāo Jiǒng (simplified Chinese: 高颎; traditional Chinese: 高熲) (died August 27, 607[1]), courtesy name Zhaoxuan (昭玄), alternative name Min (敏))) known during the Northern Zhou period by the Xianbei name Dugu Jiong (独孤颎/獨孤熲), was a Chinese military general and politician of the Chinese Sui dynasty. He was a key advisor to Emperor Wen of Sui and instrumental in the campaign against the rival Chen dynasty, allowing Sui to destroy Chen in 589 and reunify China. In 607, he offended Emperor Wen's son Emperor Yang of Sui (Yang Guang) by criticizing Emperor Yang's large rewards to Tujue's submissive Qimin Khan and was executed by Emperor Yang.[a]
Quoting Arthur Wright, author Hengy Chye Kiang calls Gao Jiong "'a man of practical statecraft" recalling the great Legalist statesmen.[2] His influence saw the replacement of Confucians with officials of "Legalist" outlook favouring centralization.[3]
^According to Yang Guang's biography in Book of Sui, Heruo Bi, Yuwen Bi and Gao Jiong were killed on the bingzi day of the 7th month of the 3rd year of the Da'ye era of his reign. This corresponds to 27 Aug 607 on the Julian calendar. ([大业三年秋七月]丙子，杀光禄大夫贺若弼、礼部尚书宇文㢸、太常卿高颎。) Sui Shu, vol.03
