Western Xia

Xixia (1038-1227 A.D.) was a political power established by party members in western China in Chinese history. Because it was located in the northwest of China, it was called Xixia in history.

The Dangxiang people originally settled in the Songpan Plateau of Sichuan. During the period of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, it was oppressed by Tubo. Finally, with the assistance of the Tang court, it moved to Hetao and northern Shaanxi. It was divided into Pingxia Department and Dongshan Department. The envoys have been separated from generation to generation.

In 1038 AD, Li Yuanhao proclaimed himself emperor and founded the country, that is, Xia Jingzong, and Xixia officially established the country. Xixia roughly won the Song Xia War and the Liao Xia War, forming a situation of three kingdoms. When Xixia was founded, its territory was present-day Ningxia, northwestern Gansu, northeastern Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, and northern Shaanxi, with the Yellow River in the east, Yumen in the west, Xiaoguan (now Tongxinnan in Ningxia) in the south, and the desert in the north.

In 1227 AD, Xixia was destroyed by Mongolia.


In 1288 A.D., Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, changed Xingqing Mansion to Ningxia Road in the 25th year of the Yuan Dynasty. People in Ningxia, the summer land is peaceful! This name is still in use today.


Now there is no Dangxiang clan. It is said that Genghis Khan was defeated by Xixia. After Xixia was destroyed, Genghis Khan massacred Xixia and gave the original place of Xixia to the descendants of Arabs and Persians (Hui people).
