The relationship between Li Shimin, Li Guang and Li Xin.
Li Shimin's ancestors can be traced back to Li Xin, a famous Qin Dynasty in the Warring States Period. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Gui Li, the ancestor of Xiliang in the Five Lakes and Sixteen Countries, was canonized as Emperor Sheng Xing by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and was the 11th great-grandson of Gui Li.
Heredity is as follows: Li Yong, Xin Li, Li,,, Li Yuan,, Li Zhi, Wu Zetian,, Li Dan. The family tree is very clear.
Li Yong claimed to be the 16th grandson of Li Guang, a flying general in the Western Han Dynasty, and had a clear genealogical record. Li Guang's ancestor was Li Xin, a famous Qin national. His family moved to Longxi for a long time and lived here for generations. (Li Jue, founder of Xiliang, grandson of Li Guang XVI, ancestor of the Tang emperor)
Li's three major forces in Longxi.
Since the Western Han Dynasty, the Li family in Longxi has had a far-reaching influence in the history of China. There are three branches in this family:
The first Li Jianli established Northern Wei, Xixia and Dashun.
Li Guang's eldest grandson, Li Ling, later surrendered to the Huns, married the Huns' Princess Khan, became the right school king, lived in the Huns, and had offspring.
Xianbei Tuoba unified the north and established the Northern Wei regime. Several emperors in the Northern Wei Dynasty devoted themselves to the sinicization reform, especially Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
There is a saying that the Tuoba people in Xianbei are descendants of Liling who surrendered to the Huns in the Han Dynasty, which was recognized by the Southern Qi regime in the Southern Dynasties. However, in order to maintain the unity of Xianbei and the Northern Wei Dynasty, the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty denied this statement, but all the people in the Northern Wei Dynasty recognized that the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty was a descendant of Li Ling. Many people disapprove of Li Ling's surrender to the Huns.
Since then, Li, Li and Li successively established the Xixia regime and Dashun regime in post-Li Zicheng. (Like Li Ling)
The second Li, the establishment of Datang.
The Li family took Li Guang as their ancestor and denied Li Ling. The main figure is Gui Li, the founder of Xiliang, and Li Yuan, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, is a descendant of Gui Li.
Thirdly, Li established Tuoba Temple.
After the establishment of the Tang dynasty, there was a separatist regime in northern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang. They claim to be descendants of Li Ling and share a common ancestor with the royal family of Tang Dynasty, Li Guang, who is a member of the Li family. They once worshipped the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and reached a relationship. (During the coexistence of Tuoba Si and Datang, the leader was a descendant of Li Ling)
The relationship between Li Zicheng, Li Yuanhao, Li and Li Ling.
After the establishment of Dashun regime in Li Zicheng, there was such a record in Ming history:
He became king in An, usurped the title of Dashun, and changed his name to Yongchang and Sheng. Worship his great-grandfather, add posthumous title, and take Li as Mao.
Li Zicheng was born in Licun, and Li is his ancestor. (Li statue)
Li (Xia Taizu, Tangut) is the founder of Xixia Dynasty, and (Xia, Tangut) is Li's grandson. Li's ancestor was Tuoba Chici of the Tang Dynasty. He surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was given the surname by Emperor Taizong. Lee? They are descendants of the royal family of Tuoba Xianbei Northern Wei Dynasty. Li's great-grandfather Li Sizhong and his son Tuoba Sigong built it? Make a difficult army? Administering Xia, Sui, Yin, Yi and Jing is the embryonic form of Xixia State. In the Song Dynasty, Li Yuanhao said in his memorial to Song Renzong:
The ancestor of the minister was Emperor Zhou. When the Eastern Jin Dynasty declined, the Northern Wei Foundation was founded.
Not only that, Liao history also records that Xixia royal family is the royal descendant of Tuoba Xianbei. Because Li's descendants are descendants of the royal family of Tuoba Xianbei Northern Wei Dynasty, they have the lineage of Li Ling, and naturally they also have the lineage of Longxi Li. Li Zicheng is known as Li Weimao and was born in Licun. He thinks he is a descendant of Li, his ancestor is Li Ling, and Li Guang is also one of his ancestors. (played by Xia)
Of course, this branch of Li Ling's paternal line also merged with many other nationalities in history, first the Huns, then the Tuoba Department of Xianbei, then the Tangut, and finally merged with the Han nationality, such as Li Zicheng. (Statue of Li Zicheng)
To sum up, Li Shimin's ancestor is the flying general Li Guang, while Li Yuanhao and Li Zicheng are descendants of Li Ling, the eldest grandson of Li Guang (the relationship is a bit complicated). They are just different branches of Li Chengji in west Gansu, and they are distant relatives.
