*''Born: [[1526]]''
*''Died: [[1615]]''
Li Chengliang was a [[Liaodongese]] [[Ming Dynasty|Ming]] official of presumably Korean-[[Jurchen]] background, who held a hereditary post in the area of the [[Liaodong peninsula]], which his ancestors had held for some generations. He fought for the Ming in a number of notable campaigns, chiefly against the Jurchens, and is known to have advocated, c. [[1608]], that the Ming invade and conquer Korea, in order to keep Korea within the Ming sphere, protecting it from being taken by the rising [[Manchus]]. The Ming never followed through on any such proposals, however.
His son [[Li Rusong]] was a notable Ming general as well, who led troops in repelling [[Hideyoshi's invasions of Korea]] in the 1590s.
While many of Chengliang's descendants who settled in Korea came to be regarded as "Ming descendants," loyal Chinese whose presence in Korea was a symbol of the [[Joseon Dynasty]] enjoying the favor of proper Confucian civilization, others of Chengliang's line were regarded by the [[Qing Dynasty]] as Manchus, or as "martial Chinese" (''hanjun''), an example used by [[Adam Bohnet]] and others of the complexity and fluidity of historical categories of identity.
