I saw an argument on the Internet that Pangu was the ancestor of the Li clan in the Tang Dynasty, and I felt that it was a little interesting, so I took it out and briefly talked about it.
Shao Hao, Huan Huan, Di Zhao, Tang Yao, and the monarchs of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou Dynasties were all descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and most of these descendants had already broken away from the Yellow Emperor's maternal clan during the Yellow Emperor's period from Yao, Shun, and Yu, and established a large number of clan states or tribes, with independent surnames and surnames. Later, King Wu of Zhou (姬发) established the Zhou Dynasty, dividing the princes or fang states, of which 53 were surnamed Ji states, and these Ji surnamed states took the state as their surname, thus forming most of the surnames in China, and Chinese called themselves "descendants of the Yellow Emperor" or "descendants of Yan huang". Shao Hao, the son of the Yellow Emperor, was also the leader of the Dongyi tribe (large and small tribes), and the son of another son of the Yellow Emperor, Changyi, was "Emperor Huan", one of the Five Emperors.

Li Ti (李弇), of the Wuwei Li clan (武威 李氏), was a Wuwei Commandery (武威郡) of the Guzang clan (武威郡), a zi jizi (字季子), a former Marquis of An shiting and a general of Wu Wei (武衛將軍), a former Liang staff member, whose father Li Rou was the Northern Taishou of Former Liang
Looking at Pangu, Youchao, Furen, and then to The Flying General Li Guang, I not only fell into self-doubt. In the middle of the night, I couldn't fall asleep, so I got up and checked the information. An article by Professor Li Ping of the University of Macau caught my attention, "Migration Experience and Cultural Inheritance of Li Yi's Descendants: After Reading".
The Li Yi clan has experienced repeated cruel wars, but it has always been able to develop tenaciously, trekking from the southern end of the Hexi Corridor to the end of its northern part, from the western region to Pingcheng in the east, and then from the north of the yan to the central plains, and it has been displaced from half of China without perseverance, and has uninterruptedly spawned ten generations of descendants, outlining an endless development trajectory. This trajectory not only coincided with the Northern Dynasty of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Jin Dynasty, but also continued to multiply after the Sui and Tang dynasties. It is worth noting that the migration experience of the Li Yi clan is not only a process of cultural inheritance itself, receiving spiritual baptism through vertical cultural inheritance, so as to obtain sublimation; it is also a process of cultural dissemination, expanding its influence through horizontal cultural transmission, and then making historical contributions to the cultural exchanges between the west and the Central Plains.

The Longxi Li clan is leafy and can be counted a lot of clues. Li Yi's lineage of branches is the focus of study, which is due to the fact that although it has experienced twists and turns, it is coherent and continuous. The order of succession of the branches of this lineage is: 01. Li Ti - Li Chang - Li Chang - Li Feng - Li Bao - Li Cheng (Gu Zang Dafang) - Li Qian - Li Xiao - Li Chao - Master Li. 02. Li Ti Li Chang Li Chang Li Xin Li Chong'er Li Xi Li Tianxi Li Hu Li Fang Tang Gaozu Li Yuan (ancient official documents can only be found in the Li Yi family of Liangwuwei County before the Sixteen Kingdoms period).
I was surprised to find that the historical data between Li Guang and Li Yi was missing, or even unworthy. In ancient official documents, the earliest li clan can be found only Li Ti. As for Li Guang, there are many doubts and cannot be used as a direct reference.
In essence, Master Li and Li Yuan in Guzang's big room were peers.
In the Book of Jin, volume 86, "The Biography of Zhang Yi", it is recorded: "Hui (Sima ) Bao xue, his people scattered, and more than 10,000 people in Liangzhou. The brothers Li Zhuo and Li Yi were subordinate to these fugitives who had defected to Liangzhou under Sima Bao's account, and their arrival time should have been after May of the third year of Taixing. At that time, Liangzhou was occupied by Zhang Yi's former Liang regime, and the seat of government was Guzang. It is worth noting here that Li Zhuo's defection to Zhang Yi was not an individual act, nor was it just a joint effort with Li Yi, but a collective move of "leading the clan".
This was an important reason why the Li clan regarded Guzang as a county, and during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, the world was in chaos. Zhang Rail accepted the Li clan in Guzang, and the Li clan was a former Liang staff member who was able to recuperate.
Li Ti originally had no position under Sima Bao, the King of Jin, because he was only a member of the clan who accompanied Li. But after Zhang Jun's son Zhang Jun came to power, Li Yi stood out.
Qianliang's national strength can reach its heyday, which is inseparable from Zhang Jun's ability to cite talents.
The Preface records: "The name of Yi is Liang, and his wife's surname is Liang. Zhang Jun said: "Qing's name is Liang, and his wife is also surnamed Liang, so why should his descendants look at his uncle's clan?" Xi Geng Yi made meritorious contributions in a weak year, enlightened the cause of Zhongxing, and our side Lai Qing had the same Geng clan. 'It is the name of the lord. Li Tianshui Taishou and Wei General, Marquis of Anxiting. Died, at the age of fifty-six, was given to the General of Wu Wei. Li Yi was valued by Zhang Jun, and even placed high hopes on him as Geng Yi, the founding general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and changed his name and entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of a major official.
After Li Yi was reused, the embarrassing situation in which the Li clan had no position under Sima Bao, the King of Jin, ended. When Li Yi's grandson Li Huan established Xiliang, Guzang Li clan officially stood on the stage of history.
From this point of view, from Pangu or Li Guang, he is counted as the ancestor of the Li clan of the Tang Dynasty, which is extremely imprecise. The Li Yi clan, the Guzang Li clan, is the ancestor of the Li clan who can clearly explain it.
