Xixia Dynasty: Mysterious Blackwater City
by Liu Xuechao
About This Novel
The Xixia royal tombs are known as the Eastern Pyramids, and the mysterious Blackwater City holds coveted treasures; without its complete history in the "official history", is the Xixia Dynasty a "legend" or an "unattainable existence"? The Western Xia Dynasty, with the Dangxiang ethnic group as the main body, followed by the Liao Dynasty of the Khitans, the Northern Song Dynasty of the Han people, the Jin Dynasty of the Jurchen people, and the Southern Song Dynasty of the Han people, twice forming a situation of three kingdoms. The prosperity of Xixia fully demonstrates the strong resilience and adaptability of Party people. Xixia once created Xixia characters with special shapes. Many ethnic minorities have established political power in history, but most of them did not have their own national script, which shows the important status of Xixia script. In recent years, Buddhist scriptures translated from Xixia have been unearthed one after another. This study of the changes in Chinese phonetics is of high academic value. The Xixia Dynasty lasted for 190 years from the time when Yuan Hao officially proclaimed himself emperor in the fifth year of Jingyou, Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, to the 22nd year of Emperor Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty, which lasted for 190 years. It was considered a long-lived dynasty in Chinese history. If we count from the time when Tuoba Sigong, the ancestor of Yuan Hao, was awarded the envoys of Xia, Sui and Yinjie and the title of Dingnan Army for his contribution in pacifying Huangchao, it would have been a long-lasting regime for 346 years.
