1, from the won surname, is a descendant of Zhuan Xu Di Levin.

There is a saying: In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Li Zheng, a descendant of Hao Tao, was an official in North Korea. He offended Shang Zhouwang by telling her and was executed. When his wife Qihe fled with her son Li Zhen, she survived by eating plums. She dared not say Li, so she changed her surname to Li. Another way of saying it is: According to the surname test, there was no Li before the week. Because there is a Lao Tzu named Li, his name is Er, and he is a descendant of Li Zhen, so he is also named Li, because his ancestor is an official of Li, and Li and Li have the same ancient sound. Apparently, Li began to call himself by his surname in Li Er.

So,
When, where, who and how did Li's surname come from?
It's interesting to say. Li was originally named after his official position. Yan Tao, the legendary leader of Dongyi tribe, lived in Qufu, Shandong Province today. When Yao was the leader of the Yanhuang Yi League, Gou Jian took his post and was in charge of criminal law. Later generations followed his official position and changed his surname to Li. Known for its integrity, it continues to be reused by Shun after Yao.
Li Zheng's descendants were officials in Shang Dynasty, dared to remonstrate, offended Shang Zhouwang and died. His wife Qihe and son Li Zhen fled to Houyi Market (now yi river Valley in western Henan Province), where they hid and survived by eating Mu Zi (the fruit of plum trees). So starting from Li Zhen, the surname Li was changed to Li to commemorate Mei who saved Li.

When his wife Qihe fled with her son Li Zhen, she survived by eating plums. She dared not say Li, so she changed her surname to Li. Another way of saying it is: According to historical records, there was no Li before the Zhou Dynasty. Because there is an old man named Li, his name is Er, and he is a descendant of Yes, so Li is also surnamed Li, because his ancestors are human and have the same pronunciation as Li. Apparently, Li began to call himself by his surname in Li Er.

The history of Li surname and the origin of modern Li surname also originated from the old surname theory. This statement mainly comes from the textual research of Laozi's surname, and holds that Laozi is not surnamed Li but surnamed Lao, and Li's surname comes from the old surname.
Judging from the historical documents in the pre-Qin period, before Laozi, there seems to be no record of people and activities with the surname of "Li", except for the legendary Yin and Shang figures (the original surname was Li, later changed to Li, without any credit history proof), and there was only a judge Li in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, according to expert research, Li Li recorded in Historical Records and Biography is a mistake of Li Li in Zuozhuan. Li Kui people didn't appear until the reign of Wei Wengong in the early Warring States period, and their names were controversial or there were several ways to write them: "Rick" or "Li dui" or "Ji Chong". Therefore, there is a view that Li's surname originated from "Laozi" and was passed down later.
Archaeologist Tang Lan thinks that Laozi's surname Li Minger is untrue: "According to the common appellation of people at that time, the old word was the name of his clan, because people who called Zi at that time, such as Confucius, Youzi, Ceng Zi, Yoko, Mozi, Mencius, Zhuangzi and Keiko, all added Zi under the clan", "Lao Dan has no trace of surname Li in ancient books." [26]
. Guo Moruo, Ma Xulun and others all agree. Gao Feng made a further textual research on this theory from the perspective of phonology.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Laozi, the founder of Taoism, took Li as his surname and called him Li Er for ancestral reasons. Secondly, according to Northern History, Li of Zhao Jun was the first Li Zuoche native after Wu Anjun of Zhao Jiang. 3. According to Wei Shu, the surname of the northern Xianbei nationality was "Chi Li" at the end of Wei Dynasty, and later it was changed to the Chinese character "Li". Fourth, the surname of the royal family in the Tang Dynasty was "Li", and "Li" became the national surname. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the founding fathers Xu, Tai, An, Du, Hu, Hong, Guo, Ma, Xian Yu, Zhang, Abu, Bei Er, Dong, Luo and Zhu Xie all took "Li" as their country name.

In order to distinguish other homonym surnames, they are often called "Eighteen Plums" or "Li Muzi Plums".

In the Yao era, he served as the official in charge of the prison in Dali, and his son Boyi was given the surname of Won, and his descendants inherited the position of Dali for three generations.

When his wife Qihe fled with her son Li Zhen, she survived by eating plums. She dared not say Li, so she changed her surname to Li. Another way of saying it is: According to the surname test, there was no Li before the week. Because there is a Lao Tzu named Li, his name is Er, and he is a descendant of Li Zhen, so he is also named Li, because his ancestor is an official of Li, and Li and Li have the same ancient sound. Apparently, Li began to call himself by his surname in Li Er. In Taiwan Province Province, North Korea and Viet Nam, Li is also a common surname, and Li is the second largest surname in North Korea.

At the end of Shang Dynasty, Hao Tao, the later agent, offended Zhou Wang for handling the case fairly and was executed by the tyrant for no reason. His wife fled with her son Li Zhen and lived in Mu Zi all the way. In order not to forget this troubled history, Li Zhen's mother decided to change her surname from "Li" to "Li".

His wife, Qihe's wife, took her youngest son, Li Zhen, out to flee and went to the Houyi Market in the yi river Valley in western Henan (that is, the place where Houyi once lived and was abandoned). The mother and son are hungry and tired. Fortunately, Qihe's wife found some "Mu Zi" in a nearby tree, and the mother and son saved their lives by eating wild fruits. Later, he went to eastern Henan and settled in Ku County (located in Luyidong, Henan Province) not far from Huaiyang. In order to be grateful for saving his life, but also to avoid the pursuit, and because Li and Li were in the same tune, He Zizhen began to change Li's name to Li's.
