Chapter 2 Chapter 1 The Rise of the Party

During the heyday of the Xixia Dynasty, with a territory of more than 20,000 miles, the Yellow River ended in the east, and the desert was controlled in the north. It was a very important regime among the three dynasties in northern Serbia.So, what kind of nation is the Dangxiang clan that established Xixia?Where did they originate? The Xixia regime was established by the Dangxiang clan, which no longer exists today.Where is their origin?There are two theories, one is that they are a branch of the Qiang nationality, and the other is that they are a branch of the Xianbei people.Today's historians are still arguing because they didn't understand it at the time. "History of Liao" and "History of Jin" are one way of saying, "Book of Sui", "Book of Old Tang" and "History of Song Dynasty" are another way of saying.The latter believes that the Dangxiang clan is a branch of the Xianbei people because it was the Tuoba clan of the Dangxiang clan who established the Xixia regime. In history, the Xianbei clan had several major tribes-Tuoba tribe, Yuwen tribe, and Murong tribe. Among them, the Tuoba tribe Once established the Northern Wei Dynasty.You Tuoba, I Tuoba, two Tuobas cannot be written in one stroke, they belonged to one family five hundred years ago, so it is believed that the Dangxiang clan may be descendants of the Xianbei people.But looking at the area where they first lived, it is not the origin of the Xianbei.The Dangxiang tribe originated from today's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the source of the Yellow River.According to historical records: "Dangxiang Qiang people are also descendants of the three seedlings. Their species include Dangchang and Bailang, all of which claim to be macaque species." ("Sui Shu Western Regions Biography of Dangxiang") believe that they are descendants of the Qiang people.During the Western Jin Dynasty, the Qiang people were defeated by the Central Plains Dynasty.After the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Huns, Xianbei, Jie, Di, and Qiang, the five ethnic groups in the frontier, moved inward, and established fifteen separatist regimes in northern China, and there was another one in the south, collectively called Sixteen Kingdoms, which confronted the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Therefore, some people think that Dangxiang is Descendants of the Qiang people.

After the rise of Dangxiang, especially after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they claimed to be descendants of Xianbei.When the Minister of the Party was on a mission to the Central Plains, he said: "Xia's founding of the country is old, and his minister Luo Shichang's genealogy is said to be the next generation. The Yuan and Wei Dynasties declined, and those who lived in Songzhou took the old surname as the Tuoba family." ("Jin Shi Xixia Biography") The royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty was the Tuoba family, and later Emperor Xiaowen changed the surname to Yuan, so the Northern Wei Dynasty was also called Hou Wei and Yuan Wei.The party members said that we were originally the royal family of the Yuan Wei Dynasty, but because of the decline of the Yuan Wei Dynasty, we moved to this place.Now it is generally accepted that, judging from the customs, language, and early religious beliefs of the Dangxiang people, they should be a branch of the Qiang nationality. They call themselves the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is likely to exalt their identity and show that they belong to the Qiang nationality. Also came from a famous family.
