What needs special explanation is that the battle of Yongle in Song and Xia, which angered Song Shenzong and Zhao Yong, happened on both sides of the Wuding River at the junction of Yuyang District and Hengshan District in Yulin City. It was really a "blood-stained river".
It should also be noted that our investigation this time is not to discuss the right and wrong of history, but to explain the internal relationship between the Yongle War in Song and Xia Dynasties and the development of cultural industry projects in our city today by digging deeply into history, presenting history, thinking about history, activating history and analyzing it in detail.
Let's start with the outbreak of Yongle War in Song and Xia dynasties 100 years ago.
Li got up and rebelled against the Song Dynasty.
In 1982, Li 19 years old.
In 963, Li was born in Dangcha Town, on the Wuding River in Hengshan District, Yulin City. At that time, this area was called Yinzhou.
Qian Ji is a child destined to achieve great things. Historically, he was born with teeth.
Li is a Tangut. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, his ancestor Tuoba Sigong actively suppressed the Huang Chao Uprising, and was promoted to serve as our time in Dingnan Army in Zhou Xia. Given the surname Li, the titles are Yin, Xia, Sui and Bi.
The four countries of Yin, Xia, Sui and Yi were the foothold and starting point of the establishment of Xixia Dynasty by Li San Dynasty, and also the birthplace, base camp and rear area of Xixia Dynasty in Li Jianli. And three of these four States are in Yulin.
Yinzhou, located in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, is located in Beizhuang Village, Dangcha Town, Hengshan District, and its jurisdiction is equivalent to Yuyang District, Mizhi County, Jiaxian County and the eastern part of Hengshan District today.
Zhou Xia in the Northern Wei Dynasty, so the address is in Beitongcheng, Jingbian County, our city. Now the northwest of Hengshan Mountain, the northeast of Jingbian County, Uxin Banner and Hangjin Banner in Inner Mongolia are all under the jurisdiction of Zhou Xia.
Sui and Zhou Dynasties, Tang Wude three years (620). The jurisdiction is equivalent to parts of Suide, Zizhou, Wubao, Qingjian and Zichang counties in Yulin City.
Yizhou, whose jurisdiction is equivalent to Wuhai City in Inner Mongolia and Otog Banner in Ordos, and a small part of the northeast of Dingbian County and the northwest of Jingbian County in our city.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tangut Tuoba Sigong moved from Qinghai to Yulin in northern Shaanxi. Because of the suppression of Huang Chao, he was made it difficult for the army to save our army. After five dynasties and more than 50 years of painstaking efforts, the Tangut Lee has become a separatist force that cannot be underestimated in Yulin. In the history of China, there was a turbulent era of great division, that is, the period of "Five Dynasties and Ten Countries". During the "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" for more than 50 years, the highest local governors and military attaché s in charge of Yin, Xia, Sui and Yi were all inherited by the descendants of Tuoba Sigong. After Tuoba Sigong, the second term: Li Si? What's the point? Not good? Ren: Li Yichang (Si Gongsun): the fourth: Li Renfu (father of Yichang); Fifth term: Li Yichao (Ren Fuzi); Sixth term: Li Yixing (Yi Chao's younger brother), who was our ambassador to Dingnan Army, was attached to Hou Liang, Houtang, Houjin, Houhan and Houzhou in the Five Dynasties.
The repeated discussion here is to explain the profound historical origin of Tangut Lee and our land in Yulin, northern Shaanxi. It can be said that the land of Yulin in northern Shaanxi made the Tangut Lee. Tangut Li went deep into Yulin in northern Shaanxi, which was divided into three stages. The first stage: Tuoba Sigong was based in northern Shaanxi (late Tang Dynasty); The second stage: Li, a Tangut, served as our ambassador to the difficult army for six times, and four generations inherited my Yulin, based in Yulin, and divided into one party (five generations); The third stage: the Tangut Lee attempted to establish the country, and after three generations of wars on the land centered on Yulin, the Xixia Dynasty was established.
The first step to establish the Xixia Dynasty was Li's anti-Song in 982 AD, which was 65,438+000 years earlier than the Yongle War in Song and Xia Dynasties.
Li, a native of Dangcha Town, Hengshan District, Yulin City, was born in northern Shaanxi (Hengshan, originally from Qinghai). He is a young man in Yinzhou with swan ambition, blood and firm goal (establishing Xixia State). He fought the Song Dynasty in Yulin from the age of 19 to the age of 4 1 and died in the battlefield. The Vietnam War became more and more brave, and 80% of the wars he initiated and experienced occurred in Yulin (Yin Xia, Suiyuan, Linzhou and Fuzhou), our strong area.
What is Li's life experience? According to the History of Song Dynasty, his great-grandfather was Tuoba Sizhong, the younger brother of Tuoba Sigong. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, he followed his brother Tuoba Sigong to suppress the Huang Chao uprising, and he was particularly brave. After his death, Tang Xizong succeeded Yizhou Secretariat. His great-grandfather Li Renyan was the chief military commander of Yinzhou. His grandfather, Li Yijing, inherited the post of Yinzhou defense envoy after five generations. His father, Li, continued to succeed as the special envoy of Yinzhou defense in the second week. It can be seen that Li and Yinzhou have deep roots.
Li is not only a eunuch handed down from generation to generation in Yinzhou, but also a eunuch himself. 1 1 year-old (974), he was appointed as "an envoy who knows Fan Luo like the back of his hand in military management" by the Northern Song Dynasty.
Then why did Li Hui, a young boy from Yinzhou who was an official in the Northern Song Dynasty at the age of 1 1, oppose the Song Dynasty? Things have to start from 1982, when my uncle Li and my brother Li Jipeng were appointed as our time. Without consulting with his younger brother Li, he described the four states and eight counties under his jurisdiction of Yin, Xia, Sui and Yi as substantial submission to the Song Dynasty (it turned out to be nominal submission and strong independence). After moving the capital, he resolutely opposed the collapse of the Song Dynasty and urged his younger brother to do it, but he simply joined the Song Dynasty and moved his family to Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan), the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and enjoyed prosperity. Before he left, he also taught his younger brother to move on, saying that you should take good care of Yinzhou's hometown, where the party is divided, and his brother has to go outside to do something. However, the Emperor of Song Dynasty was not at ease, so he ordered Li and other clansmen of Tangut Li to go to Kaifeng. Will Li, who is hot-blooded, obey? "Both wisdom and courage" Hengshan epigenetic decided and immediately fled to Shan Ye. Since then, he has embarked on a tortuous road of refusing Song independence for more than 20 years.
The scene of moving out of Yinzhou, a police officer, was very thrilling. After the emperor issued a letter, Yinzhou has closed the city. It is very difficult to leave this city. He "pretended that his wet nurse was dead and buried in the suburbs, with soldiers and armor?" Among these coffins, dozens of his team rushed into Kanazawa, a Tibetan land 300 miles northeast of Zhou Xia, and the statue of his ancestor Yi Xing was shown to Rongren. Let everyone cry and say, "I am the son of Li, and I should revive Zongxu."
In the vernacular, this passage means that after moving out of the city, he lied that his wet nurse had died and would be buried outside the suburbs of Yinzhou. He took dozens of Tangut children loyal to himself, Pima Dai Xiao, hid his weapons in a coffin, cheated the city gate in the name of giving a wet nurse a funeral, and rushed to Kanazawa, three hundred miles northeast of Zhou Xia. At that time, Jinze was the residence of Tangut people. After moving the capital, he held the portrait of his grandfather Li Yijing's brother Li Yixing above his head (after moving the capital, his grandfather Li Yijing's official position was only the defense envoy of Yinzhou, and his grandfather's brother Li Yixing was a difficult soldier with strong appeal), crying and criticizing his brother Li Jipeng to the Tangut. Tangut people knelt in front of Li Yixing's portrait, crying and saying that they would follow the Li clan in Li Fuxing to have a fight.
From 982, when Li was determined to resist the independence of the Song Dynasty, to 1082, when the Yongle War broke out in the Song and Xia Dynasties, 100, three generations of Li went on wave after wave and launched wars, and their hometown was "peaceful in the silver summer" from then on.
Here, I will introduce Li's situation in Yulin at the beginning of the uprising:
The first case: in February 65438 and 982, Li attacked. Yin Kuan (the secretariat of Xia State in Song Dynasty) invited the Confucian classics, and Taizong recommended Liang Jiong to lead the troops to protect Xia State in Yin. After hearing about it, retreat.
It means: In 982, Li led an army to attack and took control of Wancheng in Jingbian. Song Taizong and Zhao Guangyi attached great importance to it and ordered Liang Jiong to lead troops to support Dangcha, Yinzhou and Zhou Xia, which controlled Wancheng. Li couldn't beat him and ran away.
The second case:1In the summer of May, 983, Li led people to harass Yinzhou and. This time, he was frightened and ordered Yin, Xia, Sui and Yi to patrol. Tian Qinzuo and Yuan Jizhong, the deputy envoys, led the troops to patrol. Follow the movement? Zhaling refused, was defeated by Lu Chuan, and left without armour.
What should be noted here is "? The place name of Zhaling. " Where did you move here? Zhaling attracts public criticism. "? Where is Zhaling? It should be at the junction of Yuyang District, Mizhi and Jiaxian today. In the early days of the anti-Song Dynasty, every time Li sent troops, he attacked from the north to the south from Dijinze (now "Hutong Chagan Naoer" in Wushenzhao Town, Wushen Banner, Inner Mongolia), and "fought in Jialuchuan", which inevitably passed through Yuyang District and Mizhi County to Jiaxian County, so "? "It should be at the junction of these three counties.
At the beginning of Li's anti-Song campaign, Lien Chan was basically a losing streak, with few victories. But he came quickly and ran fast, and Song Jun was helpless. When reporting to the emperor, he analyzed the reasons like this: "Thieves live in the sand, chasing grass and grazing animals, which is convenient for fighting, and the advantages are advanced, while the disadvantages are left. Now that the five roads are coming together, he heard that the troops are strong, or he will not take the battle and seek to escape. If you want to chase, you will lack food, and there will be no solid foundation. Since thieves are not peaceful, how can I face your majesty? " "Qiang wild at heart. From time to time, take advantage of it, forget the righteousness at the expense of profit, be greedy for merit and neglect the progress, and often fall into the thief's plan. The strictest constraint, clear sky in Wan Li, clear the field and defeat its front. " In 984, the satrap Yin Xianhe and Cao attacked Dijinze at night, burning more than 400 tents and beheading 500 people. They also captured Li's mother and wife, but they escaped after the transfer, but they still didn't give in. They continued to attack the Song Dynasty with their troops.
Li fought for two or three years on the basis of Di Jinze, and his strength gradually grew. What this young man in Yinzhou misses most is his hometown, Dangcha Yinzhou. He wanted to take Yinzhou, so he asked everyone. Li, the younger brother, said: Although Di Jinze has a good military position in Linzhou and Shengzhou in the east and Zhou Xia and Suizhou in the west, it is a small sand nest after all. Where can it be the capital? Now people from Yinzhou have been looking for us, so let's let them be insiders and win Yinzhou! Zhang Pu, a subordinate, also said: It's now or never! At the same time, Zhang Pu reminded that Cao was a veteran of the Song Dynasty and was good at fighting. If we don't lure him away from Yinzhou, we may not be able to conquer Yinzhou. So Li ordered his younger brother Li Jichong to mobilize all the tribes that the Tangut people could mobilize to prepare for the battle. He himself took the Tangut tycoon to break the ugly experience with Zhang Pu, Li Daxin and others and rushed to Yinzhou to cheat Cao. When they met, he sincerely said to Cao, I am crazy. I can't survive without food and drink these years. Now I want to surrender to you. Would you like to? Cao believed Li, immediately recognized Li as his nephew, gave a big gift to his wife, and agreed to hold a formal surrender ceremony in jia county in a few days. In order to do a good job, Cao decided this matter hastily without consulting his subordinates. On the appointed day, he sent troops to ambush in Jia Luchuan, led a dozen people to meet Cao in Yinzhou, and went out of the city to surrender. Cao Cao ordered his adopted son Ke Ming to guard the trench, led more than a hundred riders, and went straight to Jia Luchuan. Li and his uncle Cao, who just admitted, smiled and rode, starting from Dangcha Yinzhou and heading northeast to Jialuchuan. In Jia Luchuan, Li raised his hand and waved his whip, ambushed him, killed all the horses, and instantly annihilated Leitian with Cao. Li turned his horse's head and lured Yinzhou into Yinzhou under the banner of Cao, calling himself "the garrison stayed behind" (equivalent to our deputy garrison). In February 1985, Li lured Cao to capture Yinzhou. Since then, more and more people have joined Li's Tangut Four States. When Li returned to his hometown, his reputation spread far and wide, gradually becoming a climate and his strength increased greatly.
1985 In February, Li captured Huizhou in Song Dynasty (now Jingbian East, Shaanxi Province), and captured Sanzu Village (Mizhixi) in March and entered Funing Village (now Zhenchuan). In April, he fought with Song Jun in Zhuolunchuan (now by the wild river in Shenmu Cave). This time, he met a real opponent-Li Jilong, a famous star in the Northern Song Dynasty. Some people even say that Li Jilong was the "first general in the Northern Song Dynasty". He is brave and good at fighting. He dares to fight and can fight, and his exploits are not inferior to those of Yang Invincible, Zhong and Di Qing. It can be seen that in the era of cold weapons, whether a battle can be won or not, the bravery of the Lord will play a decisive role.
In the turbulent Sichuan War, Li Jilong annihilated 5,000 enemy troops in World War I and pursued them to Yinzhou. Li led the remnants to abandon the city, and Yinzhou was recaptured by Song Jun. Li joined Liao at the end of the road in 986. After Li surrendered to the Khitan, the Khitan betrothed the princess to him to help him grow stronger. In the first year of Chunhua (990), he was made King of Xia by Qidan. In the second year of Chunhua (99 1), Li surrendered to Song. In fact, Li's plan is to delay the war in order to gain time and accumulate strength, so as to further compete with the Song Dynasty. However, in the Northern Song Dynasty, Li was blindly accommodated, and Li Yinzhou was given the post of secretariat and Zhao Baoji was given the title. In the first month of the third year of Chunhua (992), it occupied Yinzhou again. In the third year of Daoguang (997), Li was appointed as our envoy of Dingnan Army, in charge of the five states of Suiyuan, Youyou and Jing (in the north of Mizhi). Yin, Xia, Sui, You and Jing finally returned to the hands of Li Tuoba. However, Li is not satisfied with this. From the second year of Xianping (999) to the fourth year, he again sent troops to attack Lin, Fu and Yanzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The year when Li joined Liao (986) happened to be the year when Yang Ye, the core figure, was defeated, captured and starved to death for three days.
Li and Yang Ye are contemporaries, but Yang Ye should be a teenager. Why did you mention Yang Ye? I mainly want to explain the relationship between these Northern Song Dynasty famous soldiers and our Yulin land. Yang Ye's father, Yang Xin, is a native of Shenmu. He was once the secretariat of Linzhou, but Yang Ye didn't have much political achievements in Linzhou. He followed Liu Chong, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty in the late Tang Dynasty, to Taiyuan and became a samurai under Liu Chong's account. In 979, Song Taizong destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty and Yang Ye surrendered to the Song Dynasty. From then on, he fought side by side with Song Taizong. Song Taizong appointed Yang Ye as the secretariat of Daizhou, stationed at the Song-Liao border in Yanmenguan, Shaanxi. The main battlefield of Yang Ye's eight-year anti-Liao campaign was mostly in Yanmenguan, Shanxi. Therefore, from the perspective of developing historical and cultural tourism resources, although the invincible "Yang Jiajiang" is a high-quality IP, it is a pity that there are not many stories for Yulin to explore.
Li, the protagonist of the Song and Xia campaigns, is different. The relationship between him and Yulin is: born in Sri Lanka, fought in Sri Lanka and died in Sri Lanka.
When Yang invincible followed the bloody battle in Shaanxi, Li did not stop at all. He also made bad friends with the Northern Song Dynasty in Yulin. From 982 AD to 997 AD, Li Yu fought in Yin, Xia, Sui and Yi countries in 16 years. In 997, libing, who grew up gradually, pointed to Lingzhou (now Lingwu, Ningxia), an important town in the northwest of Song Dynasty. They first attacked 400,000 millet transported to Lingzhou in Song Dynasty, and then resisted the repression of the Fifth Route Army in Song Dynasty. 1002, they captured Lingzhou, killed Peiji, the magistrate of Lingzhou, and completely opened the northwest gate of the Northern Song Dynasty. Li took Spyker Xiping Wang as his ancestor, and he was named Xiping Wang by Liao, so he changed Lingzhou to Xiping House. Li Mingdi and Li Duren of Dental School built palaces and ancestral halls, which were built here in January of 1003.
Li left Yulin to build the capital of Ningxia. His younger brother, Li Jizhen, initially disapproved of his leaving his hometown of Yinzhou and Zhou Xia, saying: Yinzhou and Zhou Xia have been doing business for generations, and their ancestors were brilliant, so we should not leave here. After moving, he said, "Those who have achieved great things since ancient times are not good; Those who make great contributions are not biased. Xiping (Ningxia Lingwu) controls Heshuo in the north and Qingliang in the south. According to all roads, it is the key to the west. If the city is dug up and the training is accumulated, once it comes out from all directions, Guanzhong will not know what to prepare, and his people will learn from the Chinese style, be polite and eager to learn. I want to take this as enterprising capital and do a hegemonic business. How can it be limited in summer? "
After Turin, Li Jianli, sometimes westward, sometimes eastward, scrambling to expand its territory. 1June, 2003, led 20,000 troops to surround Linzhou (now Shenmu City in our city) in Song Dynasty, and Song Zhenzong urgently ordered Li Jizhou, the governor of the Northern Song Dynasty stationed in Jin Ming Temple in jia county, to reinforce. Zhenzong looked at the map and said, "Linzhou is in danger, isolated on three sides, and can defend its slaughter. There is no water in the city to worry about." Wei Jubao, the magistrate of Linzhou in Song Dynasty at that time, was a warrior. He not only realized the imperial edict, but also sent an Indiana Jones out of the city to fight against the 20 thousand army. The situation at that time was really exciting. The death squads fought bloody battles and died in Li's army. On Linzhou City, Wei Jubao personally supervised the city, making all the soldiers guarding the city shout loudly and cheer for the warriors who entered the enemy line. At the same time, it was noted that arrows (catapults in the cold weapon era threw stones at the enemy lines) killed and injured more than 10 thousand people in Li. After seeing Song Jun's brave move, he had to quit and go back to Lingwu.
1003 The "Linzhou Defence War" in June is very similar to the "Yongle Defence War" 80 years later. Apart from the natural environment, the military strength of both sides and other factors, whether the war generals are brave in danger or not and whether they can win by surprise is the key. 1003, the battle of Linzhou was won because of Wei jubao, the great warrior of Zhizhou. Under the situation that the enemy was strong and we were weak, he unexpectedly sent death squads into Li's 20 thousand army, and at the same time personally beat gongs and drums in Linzhou Chengtou to help win the war. However, in the Yongle War 80 years later, Wei Jubao, including Fan Zhongyan, Zhong, etc., were not all-rounders, and met such a reckless commander who did not understand military affairs, so the Yongle War was badly lost.
Of course, there were many reasons for the failure of Yongle War in Song and Xia Dynasties, and Song Jun's imprudence was one of them. Yongle City, built by, faces Li's hometown, Yinzhou, across the Wuding River, and is regarded as life from generation to generation, with a straight line distance of only a dozen kilometers. There is an old saying that bullying is home, which means bullying is unbearable. Song Jun built the frontier fortress Yongle City at the entrance of Xixia. How can the Tangut Lee tolerate it? Although in 1082, Li's grandson moved to Yinchuan, Ningxia, Yinzhou, as a branch of Hengshan Tangut, has always been the dream hometown of Li, a native of Xixia! 1082, the Yongle War broke out in front of the Dangxiang family in Hengshan, the hometown of the Tangut Lee, and it was painstakingly managed for more than a hundred years. Why did Li's grandson "go to war with his country" and "refuse to die" and end up with you with the strength of Xixia's whole country? The reason is self-evident.
After Li Yu 1003 failed in Linzhou's "westward expedition", he was defeated in Xiliangfu, Gansu Province in the first month of 1004. He was "a mainstay, made great achievements and was in a hurry to retreat".
This time, the Western Expedition was defeated by Xiliangfu, but Li was run away. He died on his way back to Lingzhou, covering his wound. At that time, he was 4 1 year old, and his son Li Deming succeeded him.
Li Deming moved the capital.
Li Deming (98 1- 1032), when Deming ascended the throne, was the time when Song and Liao made peace, and concluded the "Union of Separated Elements". In order to stand on its own feet and protect itself, Deming insisted on the policy of marrying Liao and making peace with Song Tong, trying to find a space for peaceful development, consolidating and developing the business established after moving the capital, developing agricultural and animal husbandry production, plundering Tubo in the west and losing Uighur in the north, which laid the foundation for the founding of Xixia.
A history of Song and Xia Dynasties is a history of war and peace. If Li achieved communication with the Northern Song Dynasty through war, then Li Deming completed his father's unfinished business through peaceful means.
In the second year of Song Zhenzong Jingde (1005), the Song Dynasty made peace with Xia, and the Song Dynasty admitted that Li Deming occupied the three kingdoms of Yin, Xia and Ling, and Li Deming was the king of Xiping, still making him our time. And give twelve thousand silver, ten thousand silks, thirty thousand crowns of money and twenty thousand Jin of tea every year.
1020, Li Deming moved the capital from Lingzhou to Xingzhou (now Yinchuan, Ningxia). Since then, Xixia has taken Yinchuan as its capital.
During the 28 years of Li Deming's rule, peace was the general tone between Song and Xia Dynasties, and wars rarely occurred in Yin and Xia Dynasties. In October, Li Deming died and his son Li Yuanhao succeeded to the throne.
Li Yuanhao proclaimed himself emperor.
In today's words, Li Yuanhao is not a "fuel-efficient lamp".
1032 After Yuan Hao succeeded to the throne, he was unwilling to continue to be a vassal of the Song Dynasty and pursue the status of a peer country. After he ascended the throne, he began to implement the plan of founding the country and calling himself emperor step by step. In this process, Yuan Hao deliberately highlighted the national consciousness of the Tangut and enhanced national cohesion. Yuan Haowen did not hesitate to choose the former in the thought of "war" and "harmony". Before Deming died, the father and son had discussed this issue. Deming warned his belligerent son, "I've been fighting for a long time, but it's useless. I'm exhausted." My family has been wearing gorgeous clothes for nearly 30 years. This hymn Tian Zi is kind and cannot be tolerated. "Deming means, you see Song Ting and I haven't fought for nearly 30 years, and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty gives us so many delicious, delicious, good clothes and fun every year. This kind of goodwill can't live up to. Yuan Hao disagreed and replied to his father: "Clothes and fur are a matter of animal husbandry, which is convenient for people. "When a hero's life reaches Wang Ba, it is He Jinxi!" It means eating and dressing well is nothing, just the appeal of ordinary people. In a hero's life, he should dominate one side and make contributions. What's the point of eating and dressing well?
After Li Yuanhao ascended the throne, he immediately implemented his grand plan for the founding of the country, took different measures to govern the country from his father Li Deming, and immediately stepped onto the historical stage as an independent regime.
One is Yi surname, calling me ancestor.
Yuan Haowen first abandoned the Tang surname Li and the Song surname Zhao, thinking that neither surname was expensive. He even demoted his ancestor's surname "Tuoba" and changed his surname from Tuoba's to a first name.
The second is to give orders to the ministries. 1033 In March, Yuan Hao issued a baldness order, shaved off his hair, and then ordered the whole country to be bald for three days, killing him. Therefore, the people are fighting for baldness, and the earlobes are different.
Third, don't dress up and distinguish between high and low. "History of Song Dynasty" said: "Literary resources are the only way. Water, purple clothes, Fei clothes; Wu Zhi wears gold ornaments on his head, with gold streaks between silver ornaments, black lacquer crown and purple clothes. , gold-plated silver belt, hanging, wearing a knot cone, short knife, bow and arrow? That horse is riding a huge leather saddle with red tassels and cymbals. Leisure clothes embroidered with purple soap? Lun Yong? , straps. People are young, not expensive. "
It is conceivable that it will be very interesting to restore only the costumes made by Yuan Hao of Xixia in the Song and Xia historical and cultural relics park "Northern Song City" that we will build in the future, so that tourists can wear them to the garden. These costumes formulated by Yuan Hao distinguish people's status and nobility by color, which can be described as red, orange, yellow and green.
Civil servants and military officers in Xixia generally occupy six colors from head to toe: purple, scarlet, gold, silver, black and flowers. Ordinary people can only wear two colors of clothes: green and green.
Yuan Haowen personally presided over the writing of the Tangut, and created the "Shu Fan" of Xixia national characters, which was later called "Xixia characters". After four years of drastic domestic reform and careful preparation, Yuan Hao was officially founded as emperor in1038+1October 1 1, with the title of Daxia and the history of Xixia.
After Yuan Hao proclaimed himself emperor, the peace situation with the Northern Song Dynasty for nearly 30 years was once again broken. For the Northern Song Dynasty, Yuan Hao's claim to be emperor was bad news. For decades, in order to prevent Xixia from founding the country and claiming the title of emperor, several emperors in the Northern Song Dynasty spared no effort to provide food for the Tangut Lee, but they still failed to stop the rise of Xixia Dynasty.
Yuan Hao proclaimed himself emperor, which made the border situation between Song and Xia suddenly tense, and the two sides were at daggers drawn.
Today, Shenmu, Fugu, Yuyang, Hengshan, Jingbian, Suide, Qingjian, Zizhou, Mizhi, Jiaxian, Wubao and other counties in Yulin City are the main areas of border fighting in Song and Xia Dynasties. When disputes resumed in Song and Xia Dynasties, Yulin people would pay a heavy price for their lives. The Wuding River, the mother river of Yulin people, recorded all this sadly.
