Lü Buwei
Gao's work dates mostly to the Jian'an Era (AD196–220) of the Xian Emperor, the last emperor of the Eastern Han dynasty. Gao wrote commentaries on the "Spring and Autumn Annals" ordered by Lü Buwei; the "Classics of Filial Piety" and "of Mountains and Seas"; the "Huainanzi"; "The Strategies of the Warring States"; "Discourse Weighed in the Balance"; and the collected works of the philosopher Mencius.
