Western Xia Dynasty was ever a kingdom forgotten by the history. But now the kingdom which was once brilliant and glorious in the northwest was finally discovered by people and its mysterious ancient culture attracts the curiosity of people. Our team is one of them.
Western Xia Dynasty started its history `for 190years. It has its own characters currency, political power etc. The first emperor is Wei Yuanhao , he was given the family name Lee by the king of the Tang dynasty.
The cultuer of the Western Xia Dynasty is certainly influencing the Chinese history. Every word was out of careful thought, for example,"夏",this was a combined word. It means the Western Xia Dynasty would never be dead and always be prosperous.
It is regarded as " Chinese pyramid". Western Xia Tombs was beaten by the rains and winds for thousands of years, but it is still standing on the foot of HeLan Mountain and by the Yellow River.
On the trip to the Western Xia Tombs, I gained a lot of knowledge. I saw many things that I have never seen. The Western Xia Dynasty was once so glorious and ancient that more people should come here to get knowledge of it.
