崔立，將陵人，少貧無行，嘗為寺僧負鈸鼓，乘兵亂從上黨公開為都統、提控，積階遙領太原知府。 Cui Li was from Jiangling. In youth he was poor and dissolute; he once carried cymbals and drums for temple monks. When the armies fell into chaos he followed Duke Kai of Shangdang as army marshal and military controller, rising in rank to hold the nominal post of prefect of Taiyuan.
