[edit] Li (surname)

Content to be merged to appropriate surname article:

Calligraphically, Li (李) is the same character as "plum", and is made up of the character for "son" beneath that of "wood".

The spelling "Li" is derived from the People's Republic of China's pinyin system and is therefore the romanization used most widely in China. However, the anglicised spelling "Lee" is more commonly used when rendering these surnames in Roman letters in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and many overseas Chinese communities.

As of 2002, there were approximately 103 million people, or 7.9 percent of the population, in China with this surname, and 108 million worldwide. It remains the world's most common surname. The Korean family name Lee and the Vietnamese family name Lý derive from the Chinese name.

The surname Li (黎) is more common in Central China, South China (including Hong Kong, where it is transliterated as "Lai" from Cantonese), and is one of the four most common surnames among ethnic Vietnamese, which in the Vietnamese language is "Lê."

In Indonesia, the surname may be spelt "Lie."

[edit] History

According to the Xing Zuan, the Chinese dictionary of surnames, the Li surname has a long history which goes back to Emperor Zhuanzu who was the first Li and lived before 2000 BC.

During the Tang Dynasty about 15 different emperors had the Li surname. Li Yuan was the founder of the Tang Dynasty which lasted from 618 to 906 A.D. In their dynasty, printing and paper money were introduced to China.

A legend about the Li family is that those who are the directly descended from rebel Emperor Zhuanzu have a genetic trait noticeable in their feet. The last toe on each foot would be pointing inward a little rather than being straight like the rest of the toes. This distinguished the "true" Li's from the other families with the name as they were born with perfect feet.
