The surname Li is not the ninth son of Long

Regarding the origin of the surname Li and the ancestor of the surname, it can be summarized as follows:

1, the source of the surname Ying.

That is, it is believed that the Li family originated from the surname Ying, and the blood ancestor was the leader of the Dongyi clan, Gao Tao (a blame, Yan surname or win surname), Gao Tao was appointed as Shun's Dali (the official in charge of criminal law), so the official family was Li ("Li" and "Li" ancient characters are connected), first for Li, and then for Li. The ancestor of the surname is Li Li, and Li Er is the eleventh.

2, Li Shu totem said. That is, it is believed that the surname Li originated from totem worship, and the plum tree is used as a totem.

Li got the surname Li because of the official of Dali, and later the surname Li because he took refuge in Muzi for food. Because the plum it eats is a wild plum, it is cultivated by the Lee family to become a domestic plum tree, and the plum tree is a sacred tree, that is, a totem tree. Therefore, the descendants of the Li family often plant plums next to the house as a symbol, and this habit is still preserved.

There is a peach and plum orchard in Li Bai's house, and plum trees are planted in the imperial palace garden of the Tang Dynasty.

3, the source of the surname Ji (tiger totem) said.

During the Shang Dynasty, there were descendants of the same surname of Zhou, named Ba people, who lived in Zhongli Mountain (now northwest of Changyang, Hubei). After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the Fengba people called Ba Ziguo in Yuba (now Banan District of Chongqing). In 306 AD, the Ba people established the Dacheng State in Sichuan, known as the Cheng Han Dynasty, which was the first dynasty established by the surname Li in China.

There is an opinion that the Lee totem is not a plum tree, but a tiger. The totem of the Chen Chu region where Lao Tzu Li Er was born is a tiger, and "Li Er" is the Chu language "tiger". When the tiger totem evolves into a surname, the Ba people worship the surname of the Han people, so they use the surname Li according to the sound.

4. Originated from the reward of the surname and the restoration of the Li family.

During the Shu Han Dynasty, after Zhuge Liangping mourned and razed, he gave the local ethnic minorities Zhao, Zhang, Yang, Li and other surnames;

During the Han and Jin dynasties, the nomadic ethnic minorities in the north were attached, and some Xiongnu and Xianbei people were given surnames such as Liu and Li;

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, after Xiaowen moved his capital to Luoyang, he implemented a comprehensive cultural sinicization policy, and the Xianbei people had a compound surname and was named Li. The Xianbei Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei royal family is actually a descendant of the Han general Li Ling.

The Western Xia royal family Tuoba Li clan, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, was given the Li family, nominally the surname, but in fact the Li surname was restored, because the Western Xia royal family Tuoba clan was a descendant of the Han general Li Ling.
