Xixia Calligraphy
About This Novel
Imitating the style of Zhu Xi's "Tongjian Gangmu", it chronicles the rise and fall of the twenty-one rulers of the Western Xia Dynasty. From the rise of Dangxiang Qiang Tuoba Sigong in the first year of the Zhonghe Year of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty (881), to the fifth year of Shaoding (1232), the fifth year of Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty, after the fall of Xixia, his late minister Wang Lizhi and some of his survivors entered the gold. The beginning and end of the founding of the country, the lineage of rule, government and state affairs, the peace and war diplomacy of the Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, as well as the geography, official positions, elections, rituals and music, military punishments, clothing, writing and other cultural relics systems are described one by one. Nearly a hundred kinds of documents are cited, including official history, actual records, "Tongjian", "Extended Tongjian Changbian", local chronicles, anthologies, biographical epitaphs, miscellaneous notes, official unofficial histories and other various materials. In particular, many records about the history of the late Xixia period are not found in other historical records, so they have always been valued by researchers.
