Analysis of the author and age of Leigongmo’s name

Leigongmo（Tektite）is first discovered, studied, used and named by Chinese scholars. However, there are some problems for a long time. The author and age of the earliest name of Leigongmo in modern relevant literature are not consistent with the historical records, and it is believed that “in the middle of the tenth century, LIU Xun first recorded Leigongmo”, therefore, it has seriously affected the accurate communication of the origin of Leigongmo culture in Chinese and foreign academic circles, as well as the general public’s cognition of the spread of Leigongmo culture. Through the specific analysis of the current situation, sorting out and discriminating the details of historical records, the objective real situation is clarified. At the beginning of the eighth century, the earliest works of CHEN Zangqi in the Tang Dynasty recorded Leigongmo; about the middle of the ninth century, FANG Qianli of the Tang Dynasty recorded in his work “lightning strikes often occur in Leizhou, when the heavy rain stops, you can pick up round and square black stones in the field, this stone’s name is Leigongmo”, so the name “Leigongmo” was founded by FANG Qianli.
