Secret Monument of Xixia

To commemorate the real-life events of the Xixia Mausoleum's successful application for World Heritage in 2025, a Xixia exploration novel that combines historical suspense, archaeological exploration and fantasy elements was written. Starting from the discovery of weathered rock paintings by an archaeological team in Helan Mountain in 2026 that were misaligned with historical records, female doctor Bai Lu relied on her professional knowledge to gradually uncover the secrets such as the Xixia "Three Circles Locking the Dragon" symbol hidden in the rock paintings. The novel is intertwined with two lines. The ancient line tells the story of the legendary figure Tuoba Ye who carved his military skills and memories into rock paintings, while the modern line revolves around the struggle between the archaeological team and the tomb robber group, and the in-depth exploration of the Xixia royal tombs known as the "Oriental Pyramid". The work deeply integrates the real cultural relics and historical background of Helan Mountain, such as ancient rock paintings, stone carvings and texts from the Western Xia Dynasty, and Shanzuigou Grottoes and other sites, creating a suspenseful adventure world rooted in real history and archaeological discoveries, and uncovering the secret history of the dynasty buried by wind and sand.
