There are descendants of Jiuli.
According to textual research, the so-called "Jiuli" was a vassal state in Jin Dynasty. About their activities at that time, a passage in Guoyu and Chu Yu can be used for reference. "Songs of the South" pointed out: "The decline of teenagers is also accompanied by moral chaos, and people and gods are mixed, and things cannot be square." The annotation of this record also States that the so-called "Jiuli" is: "Jiuli people are also Chiyou."
Since Jiuli's fame has been so great since ancient times, what does Li Jia have to do with Jiuli?
The answer to this question is yes. Because according to the "Custom Pass", the descendants of Jiuli did take Li as their surname. However, the main component of the whole Li family is still the descendants of the ancient sage Emperor Yao, and the vast majority of Li people are the most glorious descendants of the Chinese nation.
It turns out that more than 3,000 years ago, among the many governors of the Shang Dynasty, there was a country called Li. This country was destroyed by Xibo in the early years of the Zhou Dynasty and became a territory under the name of the Zhou Emperor. At that time, it was a feudal system, so he enfeoffed this place to the descendants of Emperor Yao and named him Marquis, still using the name of Li Guo. Therefore, our descendants later took Li as their surname, so that among the descendants of the Yellow Emperor 3000 years ago, some people took Li as their surname.
Regarding this ancient origin of Li, there are many records about surnames in ancient books. For example, the Code of Surnames pointed out: "Hou Li, Yin State, were razed to the ground by Xibo at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, and later sealed Emperor Yao, all because of their families"; "History of Taoism" also pointed out: "Xibo explored Li, and after the king of Wu sealed the soup, the maple tree followed Li and Li."
According to research, Li's native place is in the southwest of Changzhi County, Shanxi Province. In other words, Li's earliest hotbed of growth is here.
From the above analysis, the Li family is indeed an active and glorious family with a long history.
There are descendants of Xianbei people
By the time of the Five Chaos in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Li family had a third "Sagittarius" besides the two lineages of Emperor Yao and Jiuli, and said in Wei Zhi: "Later it was changed to Li." The so-called Soviet Japanese are Xianbei people who entered the Central Plains from the north at that time. Therefore, the Li family's organization is very large.
In the early history, Li's performance was relatively quiet, except for Li Jingxi, a riding general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and an official who was famous for his elegance in reading and writing. As well as the famous ministers worshipped by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, are rare figures with outstanding performance in the family.
During the period of 1000 years since the Song and Ming Dynasties, the situation has been completely different. The whole Li family has talented people and outstanding achievements, which has made Li famous.
