Xixia , after the Wei Tuoba family , the land is Helian Kingdom (Note 1). Since Tuoba Chi said that he had returned to the Tang Dynasty after his first return to Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong gave him the surname Li, and he was then placed in Jingbian and other states (Note 2). By the end, Li Xun was destroyed by Mongolia, and the Dangxiang people had a basic career for more than 250 years. During this period, in the first year of Baoyuan (1038) of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, Li Yuanhao sent envoys to Mount Wutai to offer Buddha treasures, build an altar and receive a book, and ascend to the throne. Since then, the Daxia Kingdom, built by the Dangxiang people, officially ranked among the Song, Liao and Jin countries.

The Dangxiang people's religious belief . In the early days, they respected nature, and ghosts and gods and witchcraft were popular among the people. Because of Li Jiqian's "Knowing Buddhist Books and Adopting Laws (Note 3)", he began to spread Buddhism among the Dangxiang people. After the founding of the Western Xia Dynasty, Li Yuanhao believed in Buddhism. He himself "proficient in Chinese characters and knowledgeable about Buddhism and ". In combination with the needs of governing the country, he further promoted the spread of Buddhism in China. During his more than 20 years of power, he introduced Buddhist scriptures from Gaochang, Song, Liao and other countries many times, and reprinted them in large quantities in the Western Xia text. For a time, temples were everywhere in the territory, the sound of Buddhas was everywhere, and Western monks came and went.

The author likes to collect it. There are dozens of Buddhist scriptures, scriptures, and Buddhist items that have been seen and obtained over the years. Among them are a variety of scriptures from the Western Xia period. Most of these Buddhist scriptures are from Western Xia, on paper, and on silk and on mahjong. Most of the versions are engraved and printed, and a few are handwritten scriptures. There are many writings and ink, and there are also cinnabar and metal and water writing scriptures. Due to different versions, the size of the scripture tape varies. Most of these masters obtained in their early years were from Gansu. After the demise of Western Xia, the writing was deposed, and it has been more than 800 years since then. At present, except for scholars, there are almost no one in society who can read. The author has a simple knowledge of the Western Xia scriptures and does not know anything about it. It is truly ignorant of Ding. Now I will publish the collection of Western Xia Buddhist scriptures in order to appreciate them with my collection; I also hope that collectors who are familiar with Western Xia script will give me advice.
