According to the records in "Cefu Yuangui. Emperor's System", the Li Tang royal family was descended from Zhuanxu. Zhuanxu gave birth to Daye, Daye gave birth to Nuhua, and Nuhua gave birth to Jiaoyou . Jiuyou's descendant, Yuxia, served as the official in the Mianli period, and became the Li family. The Li family was originally named Li, a surname named Ying, which is a typical case of obtaining a surname based on official positions.

When the Shang Dynasty was about to fall, King Zhou was injustice, and the ministers spoke out loudly, so they offended King Zhou of Shang and were executed by King Zhou. After Li Zheng's son Li Lizhen learned that his father was killed, he knew that King Zhou would not let him go, so he took his mother to run away. Lilizhen and his son ran wildly to a place called Kuxian , and they had no food. When they were about to starve to death, the mother and son discovered a plum tree. The mother and son survived by eating plums. In order to thank Li Shu for his life, Li Lizhen changed the "Li" family to "Li". (This story comes from "Cefu Yuangui" words: "Li Zhen fled to Yihou's ruins and ate Li Shidequan, and changed it to Li's family")

According to the records in "Cefu Yuangui", Li Lizhen is the ancestor of the Li family's surname, and there is no doubt. Li Lizhen's descendants, during the Zhou Dynasty, produced a famous celebrity Laozi Li Chong'er. According to the records of "Cefu Yuangui. Emperor's Sect", Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan was a descendant of Laozi Li Chong'er. Li Chong'er, whose courtesy name is Boyang, was an official who managed memorials, archives, and books in the Zhou Dynasty. He was also the Taishang Laojun of Taoist . (Cheng'er, whose courtesy name is Boyang, Zhou Zhu Xiashi, Taoist called Laojun)

for the records about Laozi, " Records of the Grand Historian " also gave him a biography. The original text of the Records of the Grand Historian is: "Laozi is from Qurenli, Li Township, Ku County, Chu. His surname is Li, his name is Er, and his name is Fu, which is the history of Zhou Shou's Collection." The records in "Records of the Grand Historian" are somewhat contradictory to the records in "Cefu Yuangui", but Lao Tzu's profession is generally correct.

"Taiping Guangji" for the record of Laozi, which is full of mythology. "Taiping Guangji" directly records Lao Tzu as the first place in "The Immortals". "Taiping Guangji" records: "Laozi is named Chong'er, and his courtesy name is Boyang. He is from Qurenli, Ku County, Chu State. His mother feels a big meteor and is pregnant. Although she is naturally affected by the air, she still takes Li as her surname. She was born in the 72nd year of her mother's arms. When she was born, she broke her mother's left armpit and came out. She was born with a white head, so she was called Laozi."

for various ancient books about Laozi, there are many versions, but it is certain that the Li surname in the world began to be carried forward from Laozi Li'er. Li Yuan claimed to be the descendant of Laozi Li Er, and the emperors of all dynasties of the Tang Dynasty naturally claimed to be the descendant of Laozi. Since the emperor's bloodline comes from Laozi's lineage, I must be posthumously granted it to me. In the first year of Qianfeng, Emperor Gaozong of Tang traveled thousands of miles to Laozi's hometown and went to Laojun Temple to pay tribute to Laozi.

ancient people said: "National affairs are in sacrifice and military affairs." In the first month of the first year of Qianfeng, Emperor Gaozong of Tang paid homage to Confucius with the ceremony of Shaozhu. I was the ancestor of the Li Tang royal family, and the sacrificial standards must be greater than Confucius. After thinking about it, Li Zhisi decided to sacrifice to Laozi according to the emperor's specifications. Li Zhi posthumously named Laozi as Taishang Xuanyuan Emperor , and then built a large ancestral hall for Laozi, which is the famous Xuanyuan Pavilion. After the completion of Xuanyuan Pavilion, Emperor Gaozong of Tang arranged an official at the county magistrate level and a county magistrate level to be responsible for managing Xuanyuan Pavilion. (This story is based on the " New Tang Book . The Annals of Emperor Gaozong": "In the second month, Jiwei, I went to Bozhou. I was lucky to Laojun Temple, and I was chasing the title of Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan, and created a ancestral hall. The temple has one member of the imperial and the chief.”)
