Chinese rebel leader. An Lushan (ahn loo-shahn) was the general commanding the three armies of China during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong (Hsüan-tsung, r. 712-756) during the Tang Dynasty (T’ang; 618-907). The truth of his parentage, early life, and upbringing are difficult to interpret from official Chinese accounts, as many events have clearly been fabricated to disparage An Lushan’s reputation. An Lushan’s rebellion (755-763) counted as one of the final chapters in the long, famous rule of Emperor Xuanzong and one of the first steps in a long decline of China’s fortunes. In China, the story of the An Lushan rebellion is principally told from the point of view of the emperor Xuanzong and his beautiful concubine, Yang Guifei (Yang Kuei-fei), as a cautionary tale warning of the impermanence of worldly love and the dangers of being distracted from crucial tasks.
