Legend has it that Li's ancestor was an official in charge of justice under Yao. His official name is "Dali" His descendants inherited the post of Dali, and after three generations of Yu, Xia and Shang, they took the official position as their surname and called it "Li".

At the end of Shang Dynasty, Li Zheng, a descendant of Hao Tao, was put to death for his integrity in offending the tyrant Shang Zhouwang. Richard's wife, children and son began to flee. Because the plum trees along the way are full of big and red plums, the mother and son can only survive by picking plums to satisfy their hunger. In order to commemorate this difficult history, mother and son thanked Li Ziyi and changed their surname to Li. This is the origin of Li's surname. For a long time, Li was still a small surname.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, some subjects with other surnames were awarded Li by the Li royal family in recognition of their contribution to the establishment of Li Yuanhe. In this way, the Li family became huge and became the most popular surname in China. In ancient times, most of the Li family who established fame lived in Xilong (now working in Lanzhou and Qinchuan, Gansu), so Xilong became the source of the Li family's fame. Now many Hakkas surnamed Li in Gannan are proud of Xilong Mingmen.
