"He once dominated the Western Territory, and his civil and martial arts were brilliant." In 1038, the Dangxiang people established a dynasty under the leadership of Li Yuanhao. The country was named Daxia and was known as Xixia in history. Daxia is "bounded by the Yellow River in the east, Yumen in the west, Xiaoguan in the south, and the desert in the north." It is known as the "Land of Thousands of Miles". The Xixia Dynasty dominated the northwest for nearly two hundred years, with ten emperors ascending the throne. With its unique posture, it successively stood up against the Northern Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty, and confronted the Southern Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty. This book takes Li Yuanhao, Jingzong of the Western Xia Dynasty, as the main axis, and tells the long origins of the minority Dangxiang people, as well as the history of the Dangxiang royal family establishing the ethnic minority regime in the northwest, developing and growing, and finally dying out. This book examines historical materials and is rigorously written. It deeply analyzes the origin and whereabouts of the Dangxiang people, deciphers the relationship between the Dangxiang people and other minority groups and the Han people, deciphers the Xixia civilization, and reveals the unique historical law of the joint creation and development of Chinese civilization by minority groups and the Han people.
