Li Gao
Li Hao was probably born in 893. He claimed to be descended from the Tang Dynasty chancellor Li Shen. His grandfather Li Qianyou () served as a prefect of Jian Prefecture (建州, in modern Nanping, Fujian), and his father Li Gao () served as a secretary at the government of Rong District (容管, headquartered in modern Yulin, Guangxi). However, Li Hao was not born there; rather, he was said to be born in the Guanzhong region, near the Tang capital Chang'an.
