During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty carried out reforms and carried out the policy of sinicization. One of the measures is to change the compound surname of the northern Hu people into the single surname of the Han people. During this period, the Xianbei nationality changed its surname from Lou to Gao. According to Wei Shu, some Xianbei people changed their surnames to Gao's, and in the Sixteen Kingdoms period, Emperor Murong Yun of Houyan claimed to be a descendant of Levin (one of the legendary five emperors), so he changed his surnames, and some of his descendants changed their compound surnames to single surnames, calling Gao's, which was Gao's in Hebei. From the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty to the early years of the Republic of China, there were many cases in which the Manchu surname was changed to the Han surname, and some of them were transliterated from the Manchu surname to the Han surname, and the Gao family was changed to the Gao family.

Gao Longzhi, an important official in the Northern Qi Dynasty, was originally named Xu. His father was the chief of Baishui County in the Northern Wei Dynasty because of his name, and was later adopted by his aunt Gao. Gao Longzhi also changed his surname from his father's surname to Gao. He is an important minister of Beiqi. After he was killed for some reason, the Northern Qi Emperor Yin Gao ordered his brother Gao Ziyuan to inherit the title of king, and Gao Ziyuan's descendants developed in Qixian County, Henan Province and became a local family. In addition, Gao Lishi, the eunuch of the Tang Dynasty, was Feng Ang's great-grandson, whose real name was Feng, and was adopted by Gao Yanfu, so he was promoted.

When Gao established the Beiqi regime, Gao became the national surname of Beiqi, and the emperor of Beiqi named him Gao in order to show his favor. Jing yuan An was awarded the title of Du Xiang Duke of Xihua County by Gao Huan for his meritorious service in Mangshan War. After the establishment of the Beiqi regime, it was named Gao in 550 (the first year of Tianbao). In addition, Yuan Wen Yao was highly valued by Gao Yang and Gao Yan in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

In 37 BC, Gojumon Ng, the tribal leader, established Koguryo with its capital in Gusheng (now Huanren, Liaoning). Gao's rule in Koguryo lasted for more than 600 years. In AD 3, Koguryo moved its capital to the inner city (now Ji 'an, Jilin), and in 427, it moved its capital from the inner city to Pyongyang. Because the king of Koguryo is Koguryo, during the existence of ancient Koguryo, Koguryo had a high political status. Some of them moved to Chinese mainland. For example, his grandfather Gao E is a branch of Koguryo and a descendant of Levin, so Gao. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, General Gao Lin, a descendant of Goguryeo, was named the Hou of Juye County, and the five ancestors entered the Northern Wei Dynasty, thus being named the first democracy.
