An ancient celebrity named Li?

Li has had many aristocratic families in history, two of which are the most famous.

First, the Qin Dynasty originated from the Li family in Longxi County. Their master is Li Chong, and Longxi is the guardian of the Qin Dynasty. The fourth generation grandson is Li Zhongxiang, the satrap of Hedong, and the general who died in the west.

Later, this Li was handed down for more than twenty generations. In the Sui Dynasty, Tang Taizu Li Yuan was born. Li was a famous man in Longxi, and there were 2 1 prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty alone. Li Guang, the general of the Han Dynasty, and Li Gui, the commander of Xiliang, are both Li's successors in Longxi. What a talented person.

From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, there were 13 branches of Li in Longxi, namely: Li respected the sixth grandson Li Xiang (Shang Emperor) as his ancestor; Li Dunqiu, with Li Lizhong as his ancestor; Bohai plum, ancestor Li Tian; Shen Gongfang Li, ancestor; Li Danyang, ancestor Li Lun; A Yi Li, the ancestor Gary; Zhenyuan general Li Fang, ancestor Li Wei; Pingliang Li, the ancestor of Li; Gucangli, ancestor Li Han; Li of Dunhuang, ancestor Li Mao; Shi Li, servant shooting room, ancestor Li Chong; General Li, ancestor Li; Wuling (post-Wuyang) Li, ancestor Li Gang.

First, Li was originally from Zhao County, Western Han Dynasty. Their ancestor was Li Ji, Li Chong's fourth brother, who was a teacher in the Qin Dynasty. His son is Li Mu, a famous prime minister of Zhao in history. Before the Tang Dynasty, Zhao had a high prestige ratio.

There are more than 65,438+00 Fangpai county clans in Zhao county, mainly including: Li Zhongshan, whose ancestor is Li Ji's third son Ricky; Li Yingchuan, the ancestor of Li Bing, is the grandson of Li Mu V, the chief of Hanyingchuan, and lives in Yingchuan. Li in Liaodong, ancestor of Ricky 13 grandson; Jiang, Li Bing v. the ancestor of Sun Li; Li is in Hanzhong, the ancestor of Li Lin, the sixth grandson of Li Bing; Xiangcheng Li, with Tong, is the grandson of Bing VIII; Li Changshan, his ancestor is Kai Lee. Kai Lee, the grandson of Li Ying VI, escaped from Zhao Wanglun's rebellion in the Jin Dynasty and lived in Changshan Pingji. He has five sons who live in three places, forming three rooms: Dongzu, Xizu and Nanzu, commonly known as Pingji Lee. Guangling plum, a branch of Jiangxia plum, is the ancestor and grandson of 18. There are many Li tribes in Zhao County. The Tang Dynasty 17 people served as prime ministers, which was the second largest family in Longxi after Li.

After the Tang Dynasty, some people were the Li family formed by the imperial court. Most of these people are minorities. They developed in the north and northwest of China, and many of them moved to the south of the Yangtze River. This mainly includes:

Liu: There are two. One was developed by the family of Li Guangbi, a general in the Tang Dynasty, and later called Jinling Li. The other is the Li family, a clean official in Chengde.

Li Daipei: Li from Shatuo tribe. Li was appointed as our envoy to the North, and his son Li Keyong was the King of Jin. Li Cunxu, the son of Li Keyong, established the later Tang Dynasty and dominated for a while.

Wuwei Li: General Li Baoyu of Tang Dynasty, whose real name is An. The ancestor was Xi An Qinwang who entered China and lived in Luoyang. Descendants fled the chaos and moved to Wuwei, becoming a big family. To hold jade, give the surname Li, immigrate to Jingzhao, and become Jingzhao Li.

Li Er, whose real name is Bai Yang, is called Lao Zi and Lao Dan. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chen Guoren was born in the east of Luyi County, Henan Province. In his early years, he served as the curator of the Eastern Zhou Museum. Later, due to the rebellion of the Zhou Dynasty, a large number of scriptures were brought to Chu and dismissed from office.

Later, he lived in Shandong for many years and had more contacts with Confucius. Get used to learning the etiquette of the week. Later, I couldn't bear to see the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, and the city was shut out of the West. Lingyin (official name), who kept the pass, heard that he was very knowledgeable and asked him to write a book, so he had the Tao Te Ching, which influenced China for more than two thousand years.

In this book, he proposed "governing by doing nothing". People think that if a ruler wants to govern the country well, he should not interfere with people's behavior and let them develop naturally without education. This view has far-reaching influence. In today's enterprise management theory, some people advocate inaction.

He is the originator of Taoism and believes that Taoism is the origin of all things. Put forward the simple materialistic viewpoint that Tao gives birth to one, two, three and everything. His position in the history of China's thoughts is second only to that of Kong Qiu, the founder of Confucianism. In feudal society, his thoughts sometimes replaced Confucianism as the dominant ideological trend of the ruling class, as evidenced by the prevalence of metaphysics in Wei and Jin Dynasties in China.

Li Shimin was born in 599 in Shaanxi Wugong. I have been familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War since I was a child. Arrows can shoot through doors. His father Li Yuan is the nephew of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty.

When Li Shimin was a teenager, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty built palaces and dug the Grand Canal, and he was extravagant. 18 years old, Li Shimin persuaded Li Yuan to kill the surveillance sent by Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty and set up an army in Taiyuan. With the active participation of Li Shimin, Lee and his son won the hearts of the people all the way, and it took only half a year to arrive in Chang 'an.

In March of the following year (A.D. 6 18), Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, and made him a prince, the people the king of Qin, and Yuanji the king of Qi. After the Tang regime gained a firm foothold in Guanzhong, Li Shimin began to fight for the unification of the world. Defeat Xue Ju who was entrenched in Lanzhou and Tianshui, pacify Taiyuan, and force the former king to surrender. In 624 AD, the war to unify China basically ended. He is only 24 years old this year.

A celebrity surnamed Li.

Prince Li's fear of military achievements will endanger his position and try to plot to kill him. Two years later, a "Xuanwumen mutiny" was launched, killing Li and Li Yuanji, and Li Yuan was forced to give way.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, Emperor Taizong took a series of measures to reduce the burden on farmers, develop productive forces, streamline administrative institutions, further centralize power, and take measures to actively carry out diplomacy. When foreigners call China "Tang people". Today, some countries still refer to overseas Chinese as "Tang people" and Chinese communities as "Chinatown".

During the reign of Li Shimin, the feudal society in China experienced unprecedented prosperity. "Don't close the door at night, don't pick up the road" is a concrete portrayal of prosperity at that time. Soon after, the famous "Zhenguan rule" appeared in history. He compared man to water and himself to a boat. The famous saying "water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it" has been passed down to this day. Li Shimin deserves to be regarded as an outstanding statesman and strategist in ancient China. Li Bai, the word Taibai, Tang Wu (Wu Zetian) was born in the Western Regions in the first year of Chang 'an (AD 70 1). Since childhood, his family has been relatively rich, and his father is more educated than Gao, which makes him interested in learning.

According to legend, when I was a teenager, I skipped school and met an old woman grinding an iron pestle (a tool for threshing rice). Li Bai was surprised and deeply moved to learn that the old lady was going to grind the iron pestle into a needle. This is the origin of the folk saying that "as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is ground into a needle".

At the age of 26, Li Bai left his family and began a wandering career, eager to do something big. At that time, Taoism was regarded as the state religion, and people's seclusion was not a simple purpose, but more for political motives. Li Bai did not jump out of the secular world. He made a wide range of friends, which created conditions for realizing his political ambitions.

After 16 years of wandering, Li Bai finally became famous at home and abroad for his outstanding poetry creations such as Looking at Tianmen Mountain and Looking at Lushan Waterfall, and was recruited into the palace by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. When He Gang entered Beijing, he had not finished reading a poem, but had read his "Difficult Road to Shu". He even praised Li Bai four times in a row, saying that he was a fallen fairy (a fairy punished for falling into the world).

On the day of the interview, Xuanzong used the Qibao bed to pick up vegetables for Li Bai and personally gave him a spoon to eat, and also let him work in imperial academy (the main responsibility was to draft imperial edicts for the emperor). Xuanzong loved Li Bai's talent, but he only wanted to regard him as a royal scholar, not a political task.

Li Bai is arrogant and ignores powerful people. According to historical records, when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty summoned Li Bai, he saw that he was clear-cut and imposing. He unconsciously forgot his identity and asked Li Bai to change his shoes like an old friend. Li Bai stretched out his foot and asked Gao Lishi to take off his boots. Gao Lishi, a dominant figure, has held a grudge ever since. Later, I borrowed the life of Xuanzong in Li's new poem "Qing Ping Diao Ci". Pity on new makeup "provoked Yang Guifei, saying that Li Bai insulted and satirized her, and described her as Zhao, the imperial concubine of the humble Han Emperor. From then on, Yang Guifei held a grudge and blocked Xuanzong from appointing Li Bai for three times.

In the third year of Tianbao (AD 744), Li Bai left Chang 'an and began his roaming career again. Li Bai drifted in his later years and died in dangtu county at the age of 62.

There are more than 1000 poems and songs by Li Bai. His poetic style is unrestrained and natural, with magnificent colors. He is extremely good at drawing nutrition and materials from folk literature, with rich imagination and fantastic artistic conception. He is the greatest romantic poet in China after Qu Yuan. His poems are widely read and accomplished. Compared with other poets who were only good at writing in a certain field in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, their literary status and historical status are self-evident, and Han Yu's poems prove this point: "Du Li's poems are full of brilliance."

Lee Kuan Yew was born in Singapore on September 1923. His family has lived in Singapore since his great grandfather 100 years. His great-grandfather was a native of Dangxi Township, dapu county, East Guangdong, China, and came to Singapore to make a living. When he was a child, his grandfather sent him to an English school.
