Why did Renzong of Xixia admire Confucianism? What measures did Renzong take to promote Confucianism?

1 139, Chongzong died. Injong 16 years old succeeded to the throne. Renzong paid tribute to Confucius, the holiest teacher in imperial academy, honoring Confucius as Wen Xuandi, and ordered all counties to build temples for sacrifice. Since the Han Dynasty, China only admired Confucianism. After the Tang Dynasty, it was handed down for several generations. But Confucius was promoted to the high position of emperor, and Xixia began to perish.

Xia Renzong, the eldest son of Chongzong, was born in Yuan De in September of six years. Dade succeeded to the throne in June of five years, and it was changed in the following year.

As soon as Injong came to power, earth-shaking changes took place in China: the rivers in Zhou and Xia Dynasties were turned upside down.

Xiaohe Da is from Liao country. In the fifth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Liao Tianzuo married Xixia, married Princess Cheng 'an as the queen of Xixia, and Xiao followed the princess to Xixia. He was brave and good at fighting, and was deeply loved by Zong Ganshun, so he stayed in Xixia. Frequent wars with Xia, Song and Jin. Xiao repeatedly made meritorious military service. Gan gave the country name and was promoted to the positive image, which was highly respected.

After the fall of Emperor Zuo, Xixia surrendered to Xu Jinguo. Soon, Princess Cheng 'an passed away.

Xiao sent people to the western regions, hoping to find the royal family in Liao country. If they can't find it, they will occupy Zhou Xia and fight it. He contacted the Qidan tribe in Yinshan and Hedong, trying to establish the descendants of the royal family of Liao country and revive Liao country.

In the first year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, he attacked xiping county and captured Yanzhou near Helan Mountain Que. The whole Sin Chew government was shocked. In the same year, Renzong ordered Zhou Jing to supervise Ren Dejing's rebellion. Ren Dejing stepped down smoothly, quickly recovered Zhou Xia and attacked Yanzhou in October. Xiao was defeated. When he fled to the Yellow River, he was killed by Ren Dejing. In June of the second year of Qing Dynasty, Renzong killed Mu Cong and Meng Mu brothers who plotted to vote for Xu Jinguo.

In August of the same year, Prince Xixia awarded Renzong the title of "Good and Evil".

In the early years of Renzong's rule, natural and man-made disasters continued in Xixia. After the rebellion subsided, another severe famine occurred in China. The price soared, and a liter of rice sold for 100 yuan, which made people miserable.

In March of the fourth year of Daqing, a strong earthquake occurred in Xingqing House, the capital of Xixia. In January, aftershocks continued, government houses collapsed one after another, and tens of thousands of people and animals were killed. The aftershocks of Xingqing Mansion did not stop, and ground fissures appeared again in Zhou Xia. Black sand poured out of the ground several feet deep, and the surrounding trees and houses fell down, causing heavy losses.

Faced with frequent earthquakes and famines, people's lives were unsustainable and they rebelled against the imperial court.

In July of the fourth year of Daqing, the tribes of Weizhou Dabin, Jingzhou Mouqing, Kong Bilong and Dingzhou Fuer rose one after another, with the number ranging from five to six thousand to tens of thousands. They attacked and robbed cities and counties, and all localities were in a hurry.

Renzong adopted the advice of Dr. Su Zhiyi, a great doctor, to comfort people who suffered from earthquakes and ground fissures in Xingqing, Zhou Xia and other places: those who died at home were tax-free within three years; People who have died for two years are exempt from tax; The injured are exempt from tax for one year; If the house collapses, the government can help repair it. In August of the fourth year of Qing Dynasty, Renzong adopted the suggestion that corn should pay tribute to the Soviet Union and implemented disaster relief measures. In areas with severe famine, state officials were sent to inspect and distribute relief materials and pensions according to the severity of famine.

In the face of the rise of the rebel army, Ren Dejing, commander-in-chief of Xiping sent by Renzong, adopted a combination of armed repression and bribery. In this way, the uprisings of Weizhou, Jingzhou, Dingzhou, Konglang, Fuer and other tribes have subsided.

During his tenure, Renzong paid attention to maintaining friendly relations with the Jin Dynasty and made efforts to develop contacts with the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the youth of Yuan Dynasty, Renzong sent messengers to the court of Southern Song Dynasty to congratulate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and presented pearls, ribbons, silk, gauze, horses and other items, thus restoring the rule of Southern Song Dynasty.

In the second year of Renqing, Renzong ordered Li Yuanru, a music official, to revise the National Music Law with reference to the current systems of Han and Xixia. After the new music law was compiled, Renzong named it the new law. In March of the following year, Renzong was named Confucius in the Han Dynasty and ordered all counties to set up Confucius temples to worship Confucius. Soon, following the imperial examination system in Song Dynasty, Renzong formally tried to cultivate talents and set up a "Juvenile Division" to gradually improve the system of selecting officials through the imperial examination.

Printing in Xixia is also developing. A large number of cultural and academic works have been published, such as Yue Yue's entertainment poems, Xin Qiji's ci, Sheng Lihai and Fan Hanhe's The Eye of the Palm. Xixia culture has a wide variety and gradually prospered.

Renzong advocated ruling the country with Confucianism, but also paid attention to strengthening the legal system. In its heyday, it specially organized people to compile the code: on the basis of the old law, 20 volumes of Wen Hai Bao Yun were re-compiled. This is a comprehensive code, which refers to the laws and regulations of the Tang and Song Dynasties and combines the actual situation of Xixia, including civil law, administrative law, criminal law, procedural law, economic law and military law. After the completion of the new code, it will be printed and promulgated in Xixia immediately.
