The Li family has many famous families in history, and there are two main ones that are most famous.

First, the Qin Dynasty originated from the Li family in Longxi County. Their first leader was Li Chong, the governor of Longxi in the Qin Dynasty. The fourth generation grandson is called Li Zhongxiang, who was the governor of Hedong and the general of the Western Conquest. He was later killed on the battlefield. Later, this Li family passed down for more than 20 generations. In the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan, the founder of the Tang Dynasty who destroyed the Sui Dynasty and established the Tang Dynasty, was born. The Li family in Longxi produced celebrities in large numbers, and there were 21 prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty alone. Li Guang, the general of the Han Dynasty, and Li Hao, the lord of Xiliang, were all descendants of the Li family in Longxi. It’s really a wealth of talent. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, 13 branches of the Li family in Longxi were derived. They are: Fanyang Li family, respecting Li Chong's 6th grandson Li Xiang (Shangdi) as the ancestor; Dunqiu Li family, respecting Li Guangsun Li Zhong is the ancestor; Bohai Li family is the ancestor Li Tian; Shen Gongfang Li family is the ancestor Li Qian; Danyang Li family is the ancestor Li Lun; Anyi Li family is the ancestor Li Gai; Zhenyuan Jiangfang Li family is the ancestor Li Min; Pingliang The Li family is the ancestor of the Li family; the Guzang Li family is the ancestor Li Han; the Dunhuang Li family is the ancestor Li Mao; the Pushefang Li family is the ancestor Li Chong; the Jiangjun Li family is the ancestor Li Chengli; the Wuling (later Wuyang) Li family The surname is Li Gang, the ancestor.

The first is the Li family that originated in Zhao County during the Western Han Dynasty. Their ancestor was Li Ji, the fourth brother of Li Chong, who held the official position of Taifu in the Qin Dynasty. His son was Li Mu, the famous Prime Minister of the State of Zhao in history. The reputation of the Li family in Zhaojun was higher than that of the Li family in Longxi before the Tang Dynasty. The Li clan of Zhao County spawned more than 10 Fang faction clans, mainly including: Zhongshan Li clan, whose founder was Li Qi, the third son of Li Ji; Yingchuan Li clan, whose founder Li Bing was the fifth generation of Li Mu Sun, the governor of Yingchuan County in the Han Dynasty, lived in Yingchuan; the Li family in Liaodong regarded Li Bao, the 13th generation grandson of Li Qi, as their ancestor; the Li family in Jiangxia regarded Li Jiu, the 5th generation grandson of Li Bing as their ancestor; the Li family in Hanzhong regarded Li Bing6th generation as their ancestor Grandson Li Jie is the ancestor; the Li family in Xiangcheng has Li Ying, the 8th grandson of Li Bing; the Li family in Changshan has Li Kai as their ancestor. Li Kai is the 6th generation grandson of Li Ying. He escaped from Zhao Wanglun's rebellion in the Jin Dynasty and lived alone in Pingji, Changshan. He had 5 sons, living in three places, forming three houses: Dongzu, Xizu and Nanzu, commonly known as the Pingji Li family; The Guangling Li family is a branch of the Jiangxia Li family, with Li Yuanzhe, the 18th grandson of Li Jiu, as their ancestor. There are many clans of the Li family in Zhao County. In the Tang Dynasty, 17 people served as prime ministers, making them the largest family after the Li family in Longxi. After the Tang Dynasty, there were still some people who were given surnames by the court and formed the Li family. Most of these people are ethnic minorities. They developed in northern and northwest China, and many later moved to the south of the Yangtze River. The main ones are: Liu Cheng Li: There are two. One branch was developed by the family of Li Guangbi, a general of the Tang Dynasty, and was later called the Jinling Li family. The other branch is the family of Li Baochen, an official of Chengde Festival. The Daibei Li family comes from Li Guochang of the Shatuo tribe. Li Guochang took the place of Northern Jiedushi with meritorious service, and his son Li Keyong became the king of Jin. Li Keyong's son Li Cunxun established the Later Tang Dynasty and dominated for a while. Wuwei Li family: Tang general Li Baoyu, whose real surname is An. Their ancestors were the heirs of the Anxi Kingdom and entered China and settled in Luoyang. Their descendants fled the chaos and moved to Wuwei, where they developed into a large clan. When he arrived in Baoyu, he was given the surname Li and moved to Jingzhao. His clan became the Jingzhao Li family. Li Er, whose courtesy name is Boyang, is known as Laozi and Laodan. Chen Guo was born in the east of Luyi County, Henan Province during the Spring and Autumn Period. In his early years, he served as the curator of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (equivalent to the current librarian). Later, he was dismissed because a large number of classics were brought to Chu during the Zhou Dynasty rebellion. Later, he lived in the state of Lu for many years and had many contacts with Confucius. Confucius once asked Lao Dan about Zhou etiquette and learned Zhou etiquette from him. Later, unable to bear the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, he left Chenggu Pass in the west. Ling Yin (official name) who was guarding the pass heard that he was very knowledgeable and asked him to write a book. This led to the "Tao Te Ching" which has influenced China for more than two thousand years. . In this book, he proposed "governing by doing nothing". It is believed that in order to govern the country well, rulers should not interfere with the people's behavior, do not need education, and let them develop naturally. This view has far-reaching influence. In today's business management theory, some people advocate "governing by doing nothing". He is the originator of Taoism and believes that Tao is the origin of all things. It puts forward the simple materialist view that Tao generates one, one generates two, two generates three, and three generates all things. His status in the history of Chinese thought is second only to Confucius, the founder of Confucianism. In feudal society, his thoughts sometimes replaced Confucianism and became the dominant ideological trend of the ruling class. The prevalence of metaphysics in China during the Wei and Jin Dynasties is a clear evidence of this. Li Shimin was born in Shaanxi Wugong in 599 AD. He has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he can shoot an arrow through a door panel. His father, Li Yuan, was the nephew of Yang Jian, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty at that time. When Li Shimin was young, Emperor Yang Jian built palaces, dug the Grand Canal, and spent extravagantly. When Li Shimin was 18 years old, he persuaded Li Yuan to kill the surveillance officers sent by Yang Jian and raise troops in Taiyuan. With Li Shimin's active participation, the Li family and his son defeated the generals all the way and won the hearts of the people. In only half a year, the soldiers were approaching Chang'an. In March of the following year (AD 618), Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty and established Jian as the prince, Shimin as the king of Qin, and Yuan Ji as the king of Qi. After the Tang regime gained a foothold in Guanzhong, Li Shimin began to fight to unify the world. He defeated Xue Ju who was entrenched in Lanzhou and Tianshui, conquered Taiyuan, and forced the former Sui general Wang Shichong to surrender. In 624 AD, the war to unify China basically came to an end. He is only 24 years old this year.
