The lineage of Li Bai's family is a mess now, and even where Li Bai was born is not clear. If he is Li's great-grandson, is this question still controversial?
There are different opinions about Li Bai's birthplace, some say he was born in Broken Leaf City in Central Asia, some say he was born in Jiangyou, Sichuan, and some say he was born in Xinjiang. I beg to differ.
History books say that Li Bai was born in Central Asia. I wonder if it is true.
Li Bai's uncle Li prefaced the Collection of Tang Caotang, saying that Li Bai was born in Sichuan.
It is supposed that what my uncle said should be true, but this uncle doesn't know how far he is. He never met Li Bai when he was a child. He claimed that when he was drinking with him, he heard it from Li Bai himself.
Not to mention whether there is such a thing in the end, this uncle of Li Baijia actually made a mistake about Li Bai's date of birth in the preface to Tang Li Hanlin's Caotang Collection. The credibility of this article can be imagined.

Nearly a hundred years after Li Bai's death, a man named Fan wrote a tombstone for Li Bai, which said that Li Bai was born in Broken Leaf City in Central Asia.
It is said that Fan Chuan is Li Bai's iron powder. He once personally visited Li Bai's son Boqin. Li Bai was born in Broken Leaf City, and Boqin said so himself.
In view of the fact that other things on the tombstone written by Mr. Fan for Li Bai are basically true, and this person is a die-hard fan of Li Bai, there is no need to tamper with his idol's resume, so his statement has always been accepted by historians, and the official also admitted that Li Bai was born in today's tokmak, Kyrgyzstan.
Kyrgyzstan has also joined the Belt and Road Initiative. In order to develop tourism, tokmak is said to have built a monument to Li Bai and other things.
Who is Li Bai's ancestor is also a fool. In view of the fact that the ancients liked to pull the tiger skin as a banner and always liked to pull a historical celebrity as an ancestor, it is not surprising that they were confused.
Li Bai claimed to be the ninth grandson of Gui Li, and Gui Li was the military king of Zhao Liang after Li Guang. This sentence is mentioned many times in Li Bai's poems and letters. Let's call him Gui Li's ninth grandson.

Li Bai is not the only one looking for relatives. Li Guang is also the ancestor of Tang Gaozu, Tang Gaozu.
According to Li Yuan, he was the founder of Xiliang regime in the Sixteen-Country Period and the seventh grandson of Zhao Liang's military king Li Gui.
How to calculate this qualification? If it is true, then Li Bai and Li Zhi are brothers, and Li Bai calls Li his uncle. Why did Li Bai become Li's great grandson?
According to Li Bai's History of Shang 'an Peichang, Li Xun, the son of Li Xun, later moved to Broken Leaf City. According to Li Yuan, his ancestor was Li Xin, the son of Li Yao, and Li Xin and Li Yao could be brothers.
If what they say is true, then Li Bai is the nephew of Li Yuan and Li He, on an equal footing with Li Zhi.
However, it should be noted that Li Bai's seniority, that is, himself, is not recognized by the Li Tang municipal government, otherwise Li Longji would have to be called Uncle Li Bai, and Li Bai would not be ashamed to molest his granddaughter Yang Yuhuan.
