   Emperor Longwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty gave Mrs. Gao the title of "Mrs. Zhenyi Yipin", and her unit was reorganized into the Zhongzhen Camp, which became an important force in the fight against the Qing Dynasty. There is no book record of her full name so far, and it is very likely that she has no name at all. This was a very common phenomenon in ancient rural China. Women only had nicknames, such as Erya, Zhaodi, etc. There were many girls who did not have a famous name.
