    Sherpas, descendants of the Tanguts. After the fall of Western Xia, they began their escape all the way west, approaching Mount Everest.

    There they completed their outwitted survival. Now, what are they like? <

    Yuan Shi Li Heng.

    The Biography records that after Li Heng, a native of Western Xia, surrendered to Mongolia, he went with the Mongol army to conquer the east and west, and finally became Daru Huachi by virtue of his military exploits, this Daru Huachi is the supreme administrator of a region, with administrative and military powers. And Li Heng was originally the royal family of Western Xia, so it can be seen from here that the Western Xia people who were originally claimed to be exterminated are actually still alive.

    The Xixia people are widely distributed, such as Anhui also has a descendant of the party people, mainly distributed in Hefei and Anqing, its ancestor is named Yu Que, is the general at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, served as the commander of Anqing, Yu Que died heroically when the city was broken, so it was passed on to future generations. However, only a very small number of his descendants know that they are descendants of the Dangxiang people, and most of them have gradually forgotten the identity and history of the Dangxiang people in the process of continuous ethnic integration. According to the genealogy given by Li Peiye, the Tusi of the Hehuang region of Qinghai, the royal family of Western Xia migrated to Qinghai after the destruction of the country, and said that about 100,000 people in the local area were descendants of the Western Xia royal family.

    In fact, after the fall of the Western Xia, some people left their hometown to escape the war, and another part of the people accepted the Mongolian culture. <>

    There are also some specific sayings: Juyongguan in Beijing.

    Baoding area of Hebei.

    It is also found that there are Tangut inscriptions, indicating that some of the descendants of the Tangut entered the Han area and gradually became sinicized, and there are records in the Hexi area, Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions to prove the existence of the descendants of the Tangut. Secondly, there are many residents with the surname Tuoba living in Mizhi, Hengshan and other places in northern Shaanxi, and they may be descendants of the Tuoba clan of the Western Xia party. In addition, Xi'an, Shaanxi.

    A man named Li Peiye kept a "Li family tree" related to the Western Xia, and claimed to be a "direct descendant of the Western Xia royal family".

    According to the New Tang Book

    It is recorded that the ancestors of the Western Xia clan, the Dangxiang clan.

    Originally lived in the Songpan Plateau, Sichuan. Tibetans have always believed that Dangxiang is a branch of the Tibetan people, and the Dangxiang is called "rice brewing" in Tibetan, which is one of the Tibetan surnames. The ancient capital of Western Xia is now Ejina, Inner Mongolia.

    Yes. At the beginning, Western Xia was destroyed by Genghis Khan, but Genghis Khan only killed all the royal family of Western Xia, but did not kill civilians, some of the civilians of Western Xia went to Mongolia to live with the Jin people, and some went to the Central Plains to live with the Han people.

    Yes, the Mongol Empire once exterminated the Tangut people and killed all the nobles of the Tangut, but the civilians survived.

    Are you saying that the Western Xia royal family has no descendants? When the Western Xia fell, Genghis Khan left a testament to exterminate the Western Xia royal family, and when he accepted the surrender of the Western Xia Emperor, he obeyed Genghis Khan's last wish to exterminate the Western Xia royal family. The direct descendants of the founding emperor Li Yuanhao were all wiped out.

    His father and grandfather left behind the children and grandchildren of those branches.

    One of the Qiang branches, also known as Tangut, is now part of the Tibetan ethnic group.

    The Tangut ethnic group is relatively mixed, mainly party members.

    It should be the current Qiang. Seek adoption.

    The Tangut people were mainly Dangxiang people, and modern scholars believe that they should be the Qiang people of the present, not the Han people.

    The earliest Chinese documents record that the Dangxiang was a descendant of the Han Dynasty and the Western Strong. Since ancient times, the Qiang people have lived in the grasslands around Qinghai Lake and in the mountains south of Qinghai Lake, close to the headwaters of the Yellow River, the Datong River and the Huangshui.

    On the edge of this region, in the northeastern part of the Tibetan Kingdom, the region traditionally known as Ando, where early Dangxiang and Tibetan ancestors may have lived.

    The study of the Dangxiang language proves that the people who use the Dangxiang language can be classified as ancient members of the Tibeto-Burman ethnic group. In terms of their culture, the Dangxiang people have many characteristics of other Qiang peoples.

    Hello, I know that I will answer you wholeheartedly, not for sale, the Northwest Hui people were roughly formed in the Ming Dynasty, and the main body of the nation was the Arabs, Persians and other Central Asian ethnic groups who came to the Northwest region voluntarily or involuntarily during the Mongol Western Expedition, and they lived with each other and gradually formed the current Hui people. The main body of Western Xia, the Nachang people, is a party nation. Genghis Khan died of illness at the foot of Liupan Mountain during his expedition to Western Xia, and before his death, he hated the capriciousness of Western Xia and ordered the slaughter of the Western Xia people.

    Therefore, after accepting the surrender of the Western Xia, the Mongol Zhong Huanhong killed the Western Xia royal family and people. The Dangxiang nation as a whole no longer exists, and the few Dangxiang people who were not killed have been mixed with other nationalities and disappeared from the long river of history. Hope it helps.

    No, the modern Qiang and the Western Xia Dangxiang people both originated from the ancient Qiang people, and later gradually formed the Dangxiang people due to migration.

    The Dangxiang ethnic group is one of the ethnic minorities in the northern part of our country in ancient times, and belongs to a branch of the Xiqiang ethnic group, so it has the title of "Dangxiang Qiang".

    The Qiang originated from the "Cizhi" or "Xizhi", that is, the area of the Yellow River in the southeast of Qinghai Province.

    During the Han Dynasty, a large number of Qiang people moved to Helong and Guanzhong.

    At this time, the Dangxiang people lived a primitive nomadic tribe life that did not know the crops and the grass and trees.

    They took the tribe as the division unit and the surname as the tribal name, and gradually formed the famous eight party departments, of which the Tuoba clan was the strongest.

    In addition, there are tribes such as the Black Party and the Snow Mountain Clan.

    The Tangut Dangxiang ethnic group had died out at the end of the Song Dynasty, and the newly formed Hui people in the Yuan and Ming dynasties were mainly Persians and local Mongols who moved from the Western Regions, and the Han people formed a new ethnic group.

    During the Yuan Dynasty, Muslims from all over the Western Regions entered China in large numbers, and the ancestors of the Ningxia Hui began to settle in this land at this time. In addition to the Central Asian ethnic groups that came east with the Mongol army at that time, as well as the Persians and Arabs, when talking about the ** of the Hui people in the northwest, the most striking thing is the record of the Mongol nobleman Anxilan Ananda. According to the "History of the Mongols of Tosan":

    The Mongol king Ananda, when he was guarding the Tang Dynasty, influenced and guided his soldiers to convert to Islam. Tang Wu was the name given to Western Xia by the Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty, and its jurisdiction included most of Ningxia and parts of Shaanxi and Gansu.

    After the demise of the Western Xia, its ethnic groups continued to migrate, and a large part of the people have been sinicized and become Han Chinese, but there are still some descendants left, who need to live in Beijing, Hebei, northern Shaanxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and are now called Sherpas. They went incognito in order to avoid being pursued.

    Only when it is time to get married and buried will they ask each other's names, because their surnames are not what they actually are. The Sherpas celebrate Halloween, but the surrounding Tibetan people do not, which is also a key point to be confirmed. In fact, there are still many theories about the Xixia people, and there are only a few that have been confirmed, and the rest of the Liangduan ants have yet to be discovered.
