Tangut, when Xixia perished, was slaughtered by Mongols, and then gradually decomposed into various ethnic groups, which were regarded as extinct ethnic groups.

During the Han Dynasty, a large number of Qiang people migrated to Longhe and Guanzhong areas. At this time, the Tangut people lived the life of primitive nomadic tribes and knew nothing about crops and plants. They took tribes as division units and surnames as tribal names, and gradually formed eight famous branches of Tangut, among which Tuoba of Xianbei nationality was the most powerful.

Since the rise of the Tangut until the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has been in the period of ethnic disputes in northern China. Other ethnic groups, such as the Han nationality, the Khitan nationality, the Jurchen nationality, the Uighur nationality, the Tubo nationality and the Mongolian nationality, are relatively powerful. For their own survival and development, in order to overcome the harsh natural and social environment, they United as enemies and formed an iron-blooded and militant national spirit, which is the Tangut spirit. According to historical records, the Tangut is "brave in folk customs". ?

The martial spirit of the Tangut people stood out during and for a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but it was seriously weakened in the later period.
