The surname "Li" should be, not "Li", "Li" and "Lu" However, do you know that their ancestor's surname is "Li" instead of "Li" now?

Tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors lived in a matriarchal clan society, and their lives and labor were dominated by women. Everyone has only a first name, but no last name. About 5000 years ago, in order to make the men and women who intermarry come from different clans, and to prevent the marriage of close relatives from affecting the growth of future generations, it was decided to give each clan a title as recognition, that is, the oldest surname.

So, what were the surnames of ancestors? Most of them use local materials, and some take country names as surnames, such as Qin, Zhao, Han, Wei, Chen and Song. Some take official positions as surnames, such as Shi, Zuo, Dong and Sima. Some simply take occupation as their surname. Pottery, Potter, Potter, butcher.

According to legend, in the era of Emperor Yao, the state had the post of administrator. The duty of the administrator is to solve the disputes between people, distinguish between black and white, and then make a fair judgment. At that time, there was a manager named Gao Tao, who was fair and strict and respected. His descendants also inherited his post and took Li as their surname.

At the end of Shang Dynasty, the tyrant Zhou Wang was in power. Magistrate Li Zheng often criticizes Zhou Wang's evil deeds and punishes those who do bad things around Zhou Wang. In a rage, Zhou Wang put him to death. In order to avoid being implicated, Li Zheng's wife immediately took her young son Li Zhen and hid in a remote forest.

Mother and son live in the Woods. When they are thirsty, they drink the spring water in the mountains. When they are hungry, they eat wild fruits on the trees. Year after year, Lili really grew up on wild fruit from spring water. It was not until Zhou Wang was overthrown that the mother and son returned to their hometown. His surname was changed from "Li" to "Li" to commemorate the day when he grew up eating wild fruits in the forest. "Li" is a combination of "wood" and "son", which can be interpreted as the fruit on the tree or the child under the tree.

Since then, the Li family has owned many tribes. The most powerful Tang Dynasty in China's history, the emperor surnamed Li. At that time, many meritorious ministers were named Li. Gradually, there are more and more people surnamed Li, almost all over the world.

Since there are so many people surnamed Li, there are more celebrities in history.
