The Golden Turtles managed to survive in the shadows, however, and fifty years later, Guozhong would become its leader and incite his rival [[An Lushan]] into [[An Lushan Rebellion|rebellion]] against the Tang. The truth of Guozhong's parentage was divined by the Japanese Tang official [[Abe no Nakamaro]] at the height of this conflict when he investigated the Golden Turtles' origins.<ref name="Dynasty Special 3" />
