First, Li is in Longxi.
The leader of Longxi in Qin Dynasty was the ancestor of Longxi Li. The second son, Li Yao, is the magistrate of the South County after Didao. His grandson is more famous-Li Xin, the marquis of Longxi, the general who helped Qin Shihuang destroy Zhao Yan and captured Taizi Dan alive. Han's general Li Guang and his subordinate brother. But when Li Guang's grandson Li Ling surrendered to the Huns, Longxi was ashamed of Li. Therefore, this family has been unknown since Liling, from the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms to the Western Jin Dynasty. During this period, most of the celebrities in Li's works came from the Zhao family.
However, since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Li suddenly rose rapidly in Longxi. Li Guang's third son, Li Gan, was deliberately shot by Huo Qubing, leaving an orphan. The offspring of this orphan gave birth to Li's first monarch in Longxi-Li _. There is no dispute that Li _ is a descendant of Li Guang, although it has been hundreds of years. Historians have admitted it.
When Xiliang was destroyed by the North, the descendants of the main famous soldiers were divided into two factions: one was after Li Xin, the queen of Xiliang, and later in the Northern Dynasty, Li Hu, a general of various countries, was named Tang Guogong, the grandfather of Li Yuan. The other is Li Bao, the son of his younger brother Li Fan, who fled to the Northern Wei Dynasty and later became the hero of the Northern Wei Dynasty to destroy the northern cool. Later, the descendants of Li Chong were called Wuyang Mansion in the Tang Dynasty. . Among the descendants of Wuyangfang, the most famous are the great poet Li Bai and the great calligrapher Li.
The Southern Tang Dynasty was established by seizing the state power of Wu from the descendants of Yang Xingmi. Li, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was originally Xu Wen's adopted son, but he was actually the declining emperor and grandson of the Tang Dynasty and the great-grandson of Xian Zong's son.
Let's take a look at Li Ling's descendants in Xiongnu. During the Northern Dynasties, this vein also produced two famous figures. One is Li Bi, a pillar general, and the other is Yong Kang Gong Li Chongyi. I want to remind you in particular that although Li Guang was a pure Han Chinese, his descendants gradually became Hu Hua.
Longxi Li, with the poisoning of the last famous figure Li Yu, gradually disappeared into the ocean of history. As for later generations, Li Shiduo claimed to be Longxi, with many attachments. The real origin of the royal family, except Li's Longxi theory, Li's Zhaojun theory and Xianbei Sinicization theory, is controversial in contemporary historians. For the time being, this paper adopts the first one which is the most widely circulated and recognized in official history.
There is also great controversy about the real origin of the royal family in the Southern Tang Dynasty, mainly about the descendants and surnames of Li Tang. However, because it is a great-grandson, the probability of fraud is relatively small. For the time being, this paper adopts the first one which is the most widely circulated and recognized in official history.
