Dongyi people immigrated to Xiqiang

The topic of Xixia reminds me of a movie I watched as a child, Dunhuang. At that time, I was more interested in this regime that was born in the northwest, and I was also more concerned about the history of Xixia. Twenty years ago, I wrote a historical novel about the death of Li Yuanhao, hehe, but it was never published.

So let's go back to the topic itself. Is Li Yuanhao a descendant of Xia Dynasty? You must understand the background of the Chinese nation. First of all, the emergence of the Chinese nation in history was the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou people at that time claimed to be descendants of Xia, dating back to Yanhuang. Although this clue has not been proved by historical archaeology so far, from Zhou's point of view, Zhou people are authentic descendants of China, and his opponent Yin Shang has belonged to the branch of Dongyi.

So, do the Tangut people and Zhou people belong to the same ancestor?

On this issue, the Sui Dynasty believed that the Tangut people were descendants of Gu Sanmiao. The so-called Sanmiao is Yao Shunyu, the enemy of Huaxia Alliance. Their main distribution area is between Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake. At that time, Shun defeated Sanmiao and exiled some of his fierce generals to Sanwei Mountain, which is today's northwest. From this, we can infer the later Tangut.

With such a clue, Xixia people are not only descendants of Xia people, but also enemies of Xia. In the eyes of the whole Han system, Shang is the enemy of the East, so it is called Dongyi; The descendants of Sanmiao, who are enemies of the West, are called Xiqiang because they mostly live by herding sheep. Xixia is just a kind of western Qiang. Since the third generation, China people in the Central Plains have been constantly fighting with them. In the written records of Qin, Han, Tang and Song, they continued to fight against the people of the Central Plains. Many famous soldiers in the Han Dynasty had the experience of fighting in Xiqiang, such as Dong Zhuo.

Xixia, indeed, can be said to have inherited the tradition of Sanmiao, and constantly became enemies with the Central Plains. What they call themselves is not summer, but? What about white? , transliteration is? Bonnie settled the country? Only in the face of Han people will they call themselves that? Is it tall? , and the source of this summer, because Li Yuanhao's ancestors, in the late Tang Dynasty, he won the office of our time in Zhou Xia.
