Taishan surnames › The 李 surname
Lineage of the 李 families of Taishan
Translated from the Chinese, each part followed by its Chinese original. Places in Taishan are given with their pinyin; the sources’ own words (Source text) are in Chinese.
Compiled from the sources listed at the end. Every generation and every branch gives its source, and “Source text” shows the source’s own sentences; one that gives none is marked “no source”. Where a source says generations are lost or unknown, a dashed line marks the gap; where sources disagree, both are given.
The Li of Taishan take Rentang Gong, Li Dong, as their first migrant ancestor (1st generation). He was the eldest son of Wujiang, second son of Li Lian, the first ancestor in Guangdong in the Northern Song, and in his later years chose to settle in the city of Xinhui; around the time Xinning County was established, the Li of Taishan - Dong Gong, Lady Ta and their descendants - came one after another from Zhuji Lane in Nanxiong, Guangzhou, Xinhui and other places and settled in Taishan. Also moving to Taishan with Dong Gong was Qiaomu, eldest son of Lingjiang, Lian Gong's eldest son.[1][edit]
台山李氏以任堂公李栋为始迁祖（一世）。他是北宋入粤始祖李联次子梧江的长子，晚年卜居新会城；台山李氏在新宁立县前后，由栋公、禢氏及其子孙后代陆续从南雄珠玑巷、广州和新会等地迁入台山定居。跟随栋公迁居台山的还有联公长子凌江之长子乔木。

黄帝
The article traces the origin of the Li, beginning with the son of the Yellow Emperor.
文中追溯李氏起源，自黄帝之子说起。
Source text (Chinese)
李氏起源，根据历史显示，黄帝之子留意生子颛顼
[1]
畋成
Tiancheng's descendants held the office of "dali" under the Yu, Xia and Shang dynasties, and from the title of this office the people of this family were called the "Li clan".
畋成的子孙在虞、夏、商各朝代俱任「大理」之职，因这项官职的称号，这家族的人称为「理氏」。
理徵
Time of King Zhou of Shang
商纣时代
A member of the Li family, he was upright and outspoken as an official, and King Zhou of Shang ordered him to die.
理氏家族中人，为官正直敢言，被商纣赐死。
利贞
Fled with his mother to a place called "Yihou"
随母逃难到「伊侯」地方
Starving and thirsty, they survived by eating plums, and so changed their clan name from the Li of dali to the Li that means "plum"; the article says this was the origin of the Li clan.
饥渴交困，靠吃李子得以活命，因此改「理氏」为「李氏」，文中称这就是李族的起源。

理徵的妻子带了儿子利贞，逃难到“伊侯”地方，饥渴交困靠吃李子得以活命，因此就改“理氏”为“李氏”，就是李族的起源

李耳 字伯阳，号聃；即老子 李氏始祖
Great philosopher of the Zhou dynasty, founder of Taoism, author of the "Laozi" (also called the Tao Te Ching)
周朝大哲学家，道教始祖，著有《老子》（又名道德经）
The article calls him the founding ancestor of the Li, and also the Li's old forefather.
文中称他是李氏的始祖，也是李氏的老祖宗。
李宗
Moved from Shaanxi Province to Longxi
由陕西省迁居陇西
Because they were numerous and a great clan, they were called the Li of Longxi; the article says the placard "Ancestors of All Generations of the Longxi Hall" posted in the main room of Taishan Li homes comes from this.
因人口众多且属大族，故称李陇西；文中说台山李氏家中堂上所贴「陇西堂上历代祖先」字牌即出于此。
Sources differ: The catalogue entry for "A Study of Li's Ancestors in Guangdong" takes Li Chong of the Qin (10th-generation descendant of Er Gong) as founding ancestor of the Longxi Hall.
《广东李氏先祖考》书目以秦代李崇（耳公10世孙）为陇西堂始祖。

Li Lian Art name Songnian, taboo name Rongchang; also called Li Luan First ancestor in Guangdong[1][2][3][4][5][6][edit]
李联 号松年，讳荣昌；又名李銮 入粤始祖
As censor, supervised the army of Zhuguo Gong (the Pillar of State); his tombstone is inscribed "Censor Supervising the Army in Lingnan under the Song"
以御史监柱国公之军；墓碑刻「宋任岭南监军御史」
Born in the bingzi year, the 3rd year of Jingyou under Emperor Renzong of Song (1036 CE); died in the guiwei year, the 2nd year of Chongning under Emperor Huizong of Song (1103 CE), aged 67
生于宋仁宗景祐三年丙子（公元1036年），卒于宋徽宗崇宁二年癸未（公元1103年），时年67岁
At the beginning of Chongning under Emperor Huizong of Song (1102 CE), came with the army from Fujian into Guangdong, and separately led a fleet east from Tuoyang; after the army collapsed, sailed south in a towered ship with his third son, Huanjiang, advanced from Hailing to garrison Ruyang, and died in the city of Ruyang; Huanjiang buried him at Hemujing below Ecao Peak, Ruyang
宋徽宗崇宁初（公元1102年）随军自闽入广，别率舟师鼍阳东下；师溃后与三子桓江泛楼船南驶，自海陵进驻溽阳，卒于溽阳城，桓江葬他于溽阳娥曹峰下荷木迳
Wives: née Chai and née Song. He had three sons: the eldest Lingjiang (Xi), the second Wujiang (Yuan), the third Huanjiang. After Lian Gong's death, Huanjiang soon fled to Vietnam, while Lingjiang and Wujiang remained at Ji'an, Jiangxi. The catalogue entry for the "Taishan Li Genealogy" calls him the ancestral patriarch of Nanyue and a descendant of Li Sheng, Prince of Xiping under the Tang.
祖妣柴氏、宋氏。生三子：长凌江（禧）、次梧江（源）、三桓江。联公卒后，桓江旋奔越南，凌江、梧江仍居江西吉安。《台山李氏族谱》书目称他为南粤宗祖，唐西平郡王李晟后裔。
Sources differ: The same article also records that Li Songnian's tomb is about 2 km west of Fucaojing, Guanghai Town, Taishan, and says that in 1102 he led troops by ship from Fuzhou toward the Leizhou Peninsula, "met a typhoon halfway and instead entered Guanghai to garrison it; the next year he fell ill and died, and his son Ya Huan buried him at the present site", which differs from the earlier account that he died in the city of Ruyang and was buried at Ecao Peak, Ruyang. A 2015 report says "the Li came into Guangdong from Ji'an, Jiangxi, between 1026 and 1103 CE", whereas this article says Lian Gong "came from Fujian into Guangdong", and that his sons Lingjiang and Wujiang remained at Ji'an, Jiangxi, after Lian Gong's death. The names and order of the three sons are also given differently: this article has "the eldest, Lingjiang (Xi); the second, Wujiang (Yuan)"; the catalogue entry for the "Taishan Li Genealogy" has "Li Zhenxi, art name Wujiang; Li Zhenyuan, art name Lingjiang; Li Zhenyuan, art name Huanjiang"; the catalogue entry for "A Study of Li's Ancestors in Guangdong" has "courtesy name Songnian" and lists the three sons as Wujiang, Lingjiang and Yuanjiang. The [Nanxiong, Guangdong] "Li Lineages of Guangdong" (1975) recorded in the "General Catalogue of Chinese Genealogies" says "first migrant ancestor Lian, moved to Nanxiong County, Guangdong, in the Song"; the catalogue does not say whether this is the same Lian Gong. The "Taishan County Gazetteer of Local Lore" (as quoted in "Song-Dynasty Migrants from Zhuji Lane and the Development of Agriculture in the Pearl River Delta") has "Ancestor Lian Gong of the Li had two sons, Yingchu and Dong", making Yingchu the eldest son.
同文又载李松年墓在台山市广海镇甫草迳西约2公里，称他1102年带兵乘船由福州赴雷州半岛，「半途遇台风而改入广海驻守，次年染病而卒，其子亚桓将其葬于现址」，与前文卒于溽阳城、葬溽阳娥曹峰之说不同。2015年报道称「李氏于公元1026年至1103年，由江西吉安入粤」，本文则说联公「自闽入广」，其子凌江、梧江在联公卒后仍居江西吉安。三子的名号和次序也有异说：本文作「长曰凌江（禧）、次曰梧江（源）」；《台山李氏族谱》书目作「李震禧，号梧江；李震源，号凌江；李震垣，号桓江」；《广东李氏先祖考》书目作「字松年」，三子列为梧江、凌江、垣江。《中国家谱总目》著录的［广东南雄］《广东李氏谱系》（1975年）称「始迁祖联，宋代移居广东南雄县」，目录未言是否即此联公。《台山县乡土志》（《宋代珠玑巷迁民与珠江三角洲农业发展》所引）作「李祖联公生二子，楹础、栋」，以楹础为长子。

Sources differ: The Taishan "Doudong Li Genealogy" recorded in the "General Catalogue of Chinese Genealogies" has "courtesy name Zhentang, art name Yingchu", and the Zhongshan "Family Records of the Shangshu Line of the Li of Chongtou Township, Longdu" recorded there has "courtesy name Zhentang, art name Yingchu"; both reverse the courtesy name and art name given by this article and by the catalogue entry for the "Taishan Li Genealogy", "courtesy name Yingchu, art name Zhentang". The "Doudong Li Genealogy" takes Qiaomu as founding ancestor and Jiu as first migrant ancestor, saying that Jiu "in the Song, because his father was banished to Lingnan, registered his household at Doudongdongtouli, Xinning (today's Taishan)", whereas this article says Qiaomu himself moved to Taishan with Dong Gong. The Zhongshan "Family Records of the Shangshu Line of the Li of Chongtou Township, Longdu" also says Qiaomu was "the second", whereas this article makes him the eldest son of Lingjiang Gong. The "Taishan County Gazetteer of Local Lore" takes Yingchu (the reposted text notes that the character ying was originally written with shi, "stone", on the left and ying on the right) as Lian Gong's eldest son and Dong's elder brother; it also says "Chu's two sons jointly built the Ziren Study Hall on Changtang Street, Guangzhou", whereas this article says Qiaomu's "only son was named Jiu".

The "Taishan County Gazetteer of Local Lore" records: the descendants of the eldest son, Yingchu, lived at Dongtouli, Gongyi, and later dispersed to Shangchong, Jiaokou and Shuilou; Yingchu's two sons jointly built the Ziren Study Hall on Changtang Street, Guangzhou, and the Yili Gong Ancestral Hall at Jiaokou. Later it divided into the Shangchong branch and the Jiaokou branch: in the 14th generation the Shangchong branch moved to Shangdongjiu Village (the original reads "qianxi men Shangdongjiu Village"), about a hundred households, with an ancestral hall; in the 19th generation the Jiaokou branch moved to Xiadongliangjingyuan, its descendants growing to 150–160 households.
《台山县乡土志》载：长子楹础子孙住公益东头里，后分居上冲、滘口、水楼；楹础二子合建资仁书室于广州长塘街，怡礼公祠于滘口。后分上冲房、滘口房：上冲房十四世迁上洞旧村（原文作「迁徙门上洞旧村」），约百户，有宗祠；滘口房十九世迁下洞凉井园，后人繁至150—160户。

一世 栋 号任堂（任堂公）；一名栋梁 台山李氏始迁祖
Magistrate of Tiantai County under the Song
宋任天台县尹
Dates of birth and death unknown; the article estimates that he lived between 1100 and 1170 CE
生卒未详，文中估计生长在公元1100至1170年间
His family had long lived at Jishui; because of banditry in southern Jiangxi, he had his sons Kan, Xun and Yi take their mother, Lady Ta, to Nanxiong; they soon went down to Guangzhou to escape the turmoil, lodged at Subo Lane, Gaodi Street, in the provincial capital, and then moved to Xili, Panyu; Dong Gong later, giving up his military command because of age, also came south and settled at Zhongbu Lane, Liyi Ward, in the city of Xinhui
世居吉水；因赣南盗乱，命子侃、侚、佁奉母禢氏迁居南雄，旋下广州避乱，侨寓省城高弟街素波巷，继迁番禺溪里；栋公后以年老解兵柄，亦南下，卜居新会城礼仪坊中步巷
Eldest son of Wujiang. Wife: née Ta (also called née Mi); she bore three sons: Kan, Xun and Yi. Their descendants later moved to Xinhui, Zhongshan, Heshan, Shunde, Taishan and other places; around the time Xinning County was established, the Li of Taishan - Dong Gong, Lady Ta and their descendants - came one after another and settled in Taishan. Dong Gong is buried at Shigouling, Xinhui, and Lady Ta at Hudieshan, Jinkeng, Taishan. According to the "General Catalogue of Chinese Genealogies", the "Yunbu Li Genealogy" says he moved in the Song from Zhujili, Nanxiong, to Gaodi Street, Guangzhou, and the "Dongkeng Li Genealogy" says he moved in the Song to Xinning (today's Taishan). A 2015 report says most of Taishan's Li are descendants of Dong Gong, and that the Rentang Gong Ancestral Hall was built in his memory; the Rentang Ancestral Hall is on Zhengshi Street, Taicheng (today the city's No. 1 Kindergarten). The "Taishan County Gazetteer of Local Lore" says Dong's descendants lived at Hengtang and later spread throughout the county; Dong had three sons, who later formed three branches, each with its own generation names.
梧江长子。祖妣禢氏（又称米氏），生三子：侃、侚、佁。其后子孙分别徙居新会、中山、鹤山、顺德、台山等地；台山李氏在新宁立县前后，由栋公、禢氏及其子孙后代陆续迁入台山定居。栋公葬新会石狗岭，禢氏葬台山筋坑蝴蝶山。据《中国家谱总目》著录，《云步李氏族谱》称他宋代由南雄珠玑里迁广州高第街，《东坑李氏族谱》称他宋代徙新宁（今台山）。2015年报道称台山李氏多为栋公之后，任堂公祠为纪念他而建；任堂祖祠在台城正市街（今市第一幼儿园）。《台山县乡土志》称栋子孙住横塘，后散居全县；栋生三子，后分三房，子孙各有字派。
Sources differ: A 2015 report says "Dong Gong was the eldest son of Lian Gong, the first ancestor in Guangdong, and the second son was named Zong"; this article and the catalogue entry for "A Study of Li's Ancestors in Guangdong", however, make Dong the eldest son of Wujiang, and the catalogue entry for the "Taishan Li Genealogy" has "eldest son of Zhenxi Gong" (that entry gives Zhenxi the art name Wujiang, while this article makes Xi Lingjiang). The Yangjiang "Li Family Genealogy" recorded in the "General Catalogue of Chinese Genealogies" says Dong "in the Southern Song moved from Fujian to Shashui Village, Zhuji Lane, Baochang County, Nanxiong Prefecture, Guangdong", whereas this article says his family had long lived at Jishui, and the catalogue entry for the "Taishan Li Genealogy" also says he "came from Jiangxi to Guangdong". The catalogue entry for the "Taishan Li Genealogy" counts Dong Gong's three sons as the 1st generation, while this article counts Dong as the 1st generation and his three sons as the 2nd. The "Taishan County Gazetteer of Local Lore", for its part, makes Dong a son of Lian Gong: "Ancestor Lian Gong of the Li had two sons, Yingchu and Dong".
2015年报道称「栋公是入粤始祖联公长子，二子名棕」；本文及《广东李氏先祖考》书目则以栋为梧江长子，《台山李氏族谱》书目作「震禧公长子」（该书目以震禧号梧江，本文则以禧为凌江）。《中国家谱总目》所录阳江《李氏家谱》称栋「南宋时自福建迁广东南雄府保昌县珠玑巷沙水村」，本文则称他世居吉水，《台山李氏族谱》书目也称他「由赣至粤」。《台山李氏族谱》书目以栋公三子为1世，本文以栋为一世、三子为二世。《台山县乡土志》则以栋为联公之子：「李祖联公生二子，楹础、栋」。
