An Lushan (703-757), a native of Yingzhou (now Chaoyang, Liaoning), his surname was Kang, and his name was Jushan. His father may be Kang's surname Hu, and his mother, Ashde, is a Turkic witch. According to legend, his mother did not give birth for many years, so she went to pray for Zha Shan (the Turks respected Zha Shan as the god of battle), and then gave birth to a son on the first day of the first month of the third year of Chang'an (703), so it was named Zha Shan Mountain.

An Lushan's father died young, and he lived with his mother in the Turkic tribe since he was a child. Later, his mother remarried Yanyan, the brother of the Turkic general An Bozhu. In the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, his clan was broken and separated, he fled from the Turks with the son of the general An Daomai, An Sishun and An Wenzhen, and then he and An Sishun and others were about brothers, and since then they have assumed the surname An and the name Lushan.

An Lushan was the original founder of one of the separatist forces of the Tang Dynasty feudal town, and also one of the culprits of the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan, and established the Yan regime, with the era name Shengwu.

An Lushan grew obese and became blind, so he relied on his henchmen and eunuchs to dress him for a long time. Because of his pampering of his young son, the second son An Qingxu saw that An Lushan did not favor him, and resented An Lushan's introduction, and ordered An Lushan's favored eunuch Li Zhu'er to stab him in the abdomen and die when he was dressing, and An's power began to decline.

An Lushan originally had no sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty, he was not a person with Central Plains ancestry, and this was an extremely unstable factor, so he was always an "outsider".

After he grasped the power, he slowly became dissatisfied with the various behaviors of the emperor, he felt that the emperor had become cowardly, and the court had slowly become relaxed, and he even thought that he could do better than the emperor. This thought slowly took root in his heart, and he could no longer pull it out.

But another important factor that drove him to rebel was Yang Guozhong. This person has been at odds with An Lushan for a long time, and he often has nothing to do to find trouble to pick all kinds of bad things about An Lushan and slander him in front of Tang Xuanzong, and he also took the opportunity to let the emperor test whether An Lushan is really loyal to him, An Lushan hates this way of him. This found a good excuse for An Lushan's rebellion.

In addition, the Tang Dynasty was no longer as powerful as before, and after a long time, various problems would become bigger and bigger if they were not dealt with in time, until the Tang Dynasty was hollowed out, and the country became corrupt. This is also one of the contributing factors for An Lushan to raise troops.
