Western Xia Museum - China Travel

introduce

The Xixia Museum is located in the southeast corner of the city, adjacent to the Wuwei Confucian Temple. It covers an area of 3,570 square meters and a building area of 2,900 square meters. Among the exhibits, the most precious one is the Xixia Stele. The Xixia Stele, whose original name is "Inscription on the Gantong Pagoda of Rebuilding Huguo Temple in Liangzhou", is a relatively complete stone tablet with many contrasting characters in Xixia and Chinese in the country.

The Xixia stele was inscribed in the fifth year of Emperor Chongzong of Xixia (1094). In the ninth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1804), Zhang Shu, a famous Chinese scholar, epigrapher, and Yiren, discovered it in Dayun Temple in Wuwei. In 1898, the French scholar de Velia determined that the front of the stele was written in Xixia script. In modern times, my country's famous philologists Luo Fucheng, a scholar of gold and stone, deciphered the inscription.

The Xixia Stele is 2.6 meters high, 1 meter wide and 0.3 meters thick, with inscriptions on both sides. The front is inscribed with Xixia script, which means "the inscription of the Gantong Pagoda". The main text is 28 lines of regular script in Xixia, with 65 characters per line. There are 26 lines of Chinese regular script, 70 characters per line. The inscription roughly tells the history of the initial construction, apparition and reconstruction of the Huguo Temple Pagoda. It preserves many historical materials and is of great value to the study of Xixia language and writing and economic society. It is recognized by Chinese and foreign scholars. Known as a living dictionary for studying Xixia. In addition to characters, there are many patterns, flowers, figures, etc. The carving skills are superb and beautiful, with a high level of craftsmanship.

The Xixia Museum is also a museum that everyone must visit when they come to Wuwei to check in. This museum and the Confucian Temple opposite constitute a tourist attraction. Of course, the Confucian Temple is charged, but this museum is free. Don't think that the free attractions are not good attractions. There are still many treasures here, and the exhibition of the museum is also very careful. The two-story building fully demonstrates the civilization and culture of Xixia for us.

After Xixia established the capital of Xingqing Mansion (now Yinchuan), Xiliang Mansion was established in Liangzhou, and Xiliang Mansion was designated as an "auxiliary county" and served as its accompanying capital for a long time. After the Yuan Dynasty defeated Xingqing Mansion and destroyed Xixia, Li Zunxu, the emperor of Xixia, took refuge here. Therefore, Xiliang Mansion was actually the political center of the late Xixia Dynasty. The Wuwei Xixia Museum is located in front of the Confucian Temple in Wuwei City, Gansu Province, facing east to west.

I personally like to visit museums very much. This time it is the Xixia Museum in Wuwei. It is near the Confucian Temple. There is no need to buy tickets for free. You can park at the entrance. The museum introduces the history of Xixia. There are not many historical materials left after the destruction of Xixia, and the text itself is also very mysterious. It seems that Chinese characters are not, and there is a stone tablet in the museum that is very precious.
