- Guo Daiju (郭待舉) was a Chinese politician during the Tang Dynasty, serving as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Gaozong as well as the regency of Emperor Gaozong's wife Empress Wu (later known as Wu Zetian) over their sons Emperor Zhongzong and Emperor Ruizong. Despite Guo's high status, little is firmly established about his background or career except for the years that he served as chancellor—as, unusual for a chancellor, he did not have a biography in either the Old Book of Tang or the New Book of Tang. He was from Yingchuan (潁川, in modern Xuchang, Henan.) According to the table of chancellors in the New Book of Tang, his father was Guo Chufan (郭處範), who at one point served as the secretary general of Zhucheng County (諸城, in modern Weifang, Shandong). As of 682, late in the reign of Emperor Gaozong, Guo was Huangmen Shilang (黃門侍郎), the deputy head of the examination bureau of government (門下省, Menxia Sheng), when he was given the designation Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingchangshi (同中書門下平章事), making him a chancellor de facto. However, nothing was recorded about his acts as chancellor, and the next reference to him was in 684, by which time Emperor Gaozong had died and been succeeded by his son Emperor Zhongzong—who was then deposed by Empress Wu, then empress dowager and regent, for disobeying her—and then by Emperor Zhongzong's brother Emperor Ruizong. In 684, there had been a rebellion by Li Jingye the Duke of Ying against Empress Dowager Wu's rule, and while Li Jingye's rebellion was quickly defeated, the chancellor Pei Yan was executed on suspicion that he sympathized with Li Jingye's rebellion. After Pei's death, there were a series of official movements involving officials who had tried to defend Pei, and as part of these movements, Guo was stripped of his status as chancellor and made a member of the staff of Emperor Ruizong's crown prince Li Chengqi, but just a month later, he was further demoted to the post of prefect of Yue Prefecture (岳州, roughly modern Yueyang, Henan). Nothing further about him was recorded in history, although the table of chancellors in the New Book of Tang indicated his grandsons Guo Run (郭潤) and Guo Na (郭納) later served as imperial officials.

- 郭待舉，是唐朝潁川（今河南省许昌市）人，唐高宗与唐中宗、唐睿宗（武则天称制）时代的高级官员和宰相。 《旧唐书》、《新唐书》没有他的传，《元和姓纂》、《新唐书·宰相世系表》只说他的祖父是北齐黄门侍郎郭育，父亲郭處範是諸城县丞。而郭待举之孙郭湜墓志铭记载：“皇南阳郡太守处范之曾孙，黄门侍郎、同中书门下三品待举之孙，秘书郎贬辽山丞泰素之子。” 682年，郭待舉被唐高宗任命为黃門侍郎（門下省副长官）、同中書門下平章事（这个名号第一次出现）。次年十二月，唐高宗驾崩，唐中宗即位。684年二月，太后武则天废黜中宗，立中宗的弟弟李旦为唐睿宗。英国公李敬业起兵反对武则天，反叛很快平定，宰相裴炎因为事连李敬业被杀。十一月二十，郭待舉罢相，为太子李成器的左庶子。十二月贬官为岳州（今湖南岳阳）刺史。之后事迹史书未有记载，《元和姓纂》、《新唐书·宰相世系表》记载他有二孙：起居舍人郭潤、陳留採訪使郭納。 (zh)
