To clarify what is the "Lang General of the Five Senses", we must first start with the Lang Guan.
During the Two Han Dynasties, Lang Guan was in the imperial court
Yi Lang, Zhonglang, Shilang, Langzhong
Collectively, among them, the speaker Lang is responsible for the response of advisers, that is, he can participate in the discussion of the imperial court meeting, and the latter three are under the order of Lang Zhong, responsible for the security work of the palace, vehicles, etc., and these three kinds of Lang officials are divided into three official offices: left, right, and five senses.
General Left Nakaro, Masamasa Right, General Churo Gokan
That's how it came about. Their ranks were all higher than two thousand stones, and they belonged to high-ranking officials.
In addition, in the history books, because the number of words in the "five senses of the lang general" is too much, some people refer to it as "five senses general", which is actually a meaning.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was a general in the five senses
By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lang Zhongling was renamed Guanglu Xun, but the positions and duties of the left, right, and five generals of Lang Zhonglang did not change. Then the various lang officials in the three departments became the stepping stones for the children of the high-ranking officials and nobles to enter the ranks, which were called "
Three-part lang
", entering this team, there is a chance to soar.
Because the official selection system of the two Han Dynasties was a "system of inspection and promotion", the three dukes and nine secretaries also had to accept the task of recommending Xianliang, and these high-ranking imperial officials lived in the Beijing Division for a long time, and they could only choose from among the three officials; because the relationship between high-ranking officials and foreign relatives was intertwined, recommending Xianliang had long become a fig leaf, and in essence, they would all recommend the children of families with related interests to each other.
So
Once in the middle of the Eastern Han Empire, the "Three Departments Lang" became the "Promotion Pending Club" of the dumb children.
。 Honest officials such as Guanglu Xun Chen Fan and Wuguan Zhonglang General Huang Huan, the two of them tried to change this evil style, and instead elected the han disciples of the three departments, as a result, the high-ranking officials were not happy, after all, they moved their own interests, they united and removed Chen Fan and Huang Huan from power. For this reason, Huang Huan was imprisoned (unable to become an official for life) and became a celebrity who "enjoyed the party policy" in advance.

The general of the five senses at the end of the Han Dynasty
The Five Senses Department is a bit special, because the "middle langs" in it are all people over the age of fifty. Although it is said that all lang officials need to be responsible for the work of the guards, carrying halberds and the like, it is certainly inhumane to expect these elderly middle langs to do physical work, so these "old middle langs" should be more "pension".
The general of the five senses, in the ordinary world, can also replace Guanglu Xun and preside over the activities of the imperial court, and when the chaotic world of the late Han Dynasty came, the imperial court had no rules to speak of. In the first year of Jian'an (196), after Cao Cao arranged for Tianzi Duxu, Liu Xie, the son of Tianzi, who had experienced the disaster of the eastern return, re-established the Han court etiquette with the help of Ying Shao.
In the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211), Cao Cao was already in the position of chancellor, and while considering cultivating an heir, Cao Pi was made a general in the five senses and a deputy chancellor.
Some people will also ask:
Did Cao Pi serve as a general of the Five Senses at xu capital Han Ting, or as a deputy chancellor in Yecheng?
According to the analysis of historical records, Cao Pi sat in Yecheng for a long time, but when Cao Cao led an expedition, Cao Pi was responsible for the stability of the rear and acted as the governor of Yecheng.

The reason is also very simple, since his father's Han Chancellor is working outside the imperial court, he, the deputy chancellor, does not have to stick to the identity of the general of the five senses and stay in the Xu Capital Han Court. Moreover, the bureaucracy of Xu DuHan Ting has long been an empty shell.
In the spring of the sixteenth year of the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and Emperor Wu of the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms :( Jian'an), Tianzi appointed Gong Shizi Pi to be the general of the Five Senses, and the subordinate of the official was the deputy of the Chancellor.
Cao Pi's facial features will be the story
In Yicheng, Cao Pi also opened the Five Senses Bureau, appointing some people as his subordinates, such as: Changshi Liangmao, Feng Yuan, Gong Cao Changlin, Sima Zhao, Xiahou Shang, Xu Gan, Ying Zhen, Liu Zhen, Liu Shu, Su Lin, and the men's thieves Cao Luyu and Guo Huai.
These people do not need to be introduced by the author one by one, in short, they are all celebrities, such as Bing Yuan, who was called "Yilong" together with Hua Xin and Guan Ning. Meaning: Everyone regards Hua Xin as the dragon's head, Feng Yuan as the dragon's belly, and Guan Ning as the dragon's tail. Together, the three of them are a dragon.
"Wei Luo": Xin and Beihai Yuanyuan and Guan Ningju traveled to study, the three were kind, the three people were "one dragon", Xin was the dragon head, the original dragon belly, and the Ning was the dragon tail.
【Dance Etiquette】
It is conceivable that Cao Pi also actively communicated with celebrities in order to improve his reputation, "Boyan Yingru".
The "Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Zhu Jianping" records that Cao Pi often invited everyone to hold a symposium and "sat on the meeting with more than thirty guests." In the "Dictionary", it is said that Cao Pi also invited his wife Zhen shi out to meet everyone, and the literary Liu Zhen was bold, and he ignored etiquette and looked up at Zhen Shi. Cao Pi was open-minded and felt that there was nothing, but the matter reached Cao Cao's ears, and Cao Cao arrested Liu Zhen and punished him for hard work. This Liu Zhen was one of the seven sons of Jian'an, and of the other six, Kong Rong was killed by Cao Cao, Chen Lin, Ruan Yu, and Wang Yue followed Cao Cao as officials, and the remaining Xu Gan, Ying Zhen, and Liu Zhen all became the literature under Cao Pi.
In the "Biography of Bing Yuan", it is written: Prince Wei (Cao Pi) is a general in the five senses, the world is to Mu, and the guests are like clouds...
It can be seen that cao Pi's façade of this facial feature general is still very large!
In the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217), Cao Pi was recognized by Cao Cao and was made the Prince of Wei, at which time Cao Pi established the Prince's Mansion. All the officials of the Five Senses Bureau were transferred to the Crown Prince's Mansion to continue to serve as officials, and many of these people later became cao Pi's close associates.
