 An Shi Rebellion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The An Shi Rebellion (Chinese: 安史之亂; pinyin: Ān Shǐ Zhī Luàn) occurred in China, during the Tang Dynasty, from 756 to 763.

An Lushan himself, half of Turkish origin, had been installed as military commissioner of Pinglu 平盧, Fanyang 范陽 (around modern Beijing) and Hebei 河北, three regions in the northeast, where he was responsible of the military and civil administration of one of the most important economic zones in Tang China."

An Lushan - who had proclaimed himself emperor of the Yan Dynasty 燕 - had lost large territories in the east because many magistrates and military units of the local administration did not submit to him.
The rebellion of An Lushan was a turning-point in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
As can be seen in the cases of An Lushan and Shi Siming, the office of military governor soon became a hereditary post, and from the 780es on, the military governors permanently challenged the power of the Tang court.
