Why is the tomb of the Western Xia kings, like a barren mountain, known as the Oriental Pyramid ?

There are two reasons, one is because the Western Xia royal tombs are very similar to the pyramids in appearance, and the other is because the Western Xia royal tombs are as mysterious as the pyramids, and there are few records about it.

Because the tombs of the Tangut kings, like the pyramids of Egypt, are very similar. It can maintain more than 1,000 years without falling, carrying the history of the Western Xia for hundreds of years at that time, and it is still a very complete line in front of the world, so it is called the "Oriental Pyramid".

Because the shape of the tomb of the Xixia king resembles a "pyramid", and it has a long history, carrying the civilization of an era, it is called the "Oriental Pyramid".

Yinchuan City, Ningxia.

The Tomb of the Western Xia Dynasty, also known as the "Tomb of the Western Xia Emperor", is the tomb of the emperors and royal tombs of the Western Xia dynasties. Located in the west of Yinchuan City, Ningxia, the Tomb of the Emperor is one of the largest and most complete imperial cemeteries in China, and is also the largest existing Xixia cultural site.

Origin of the name of the Oriental Pyramid:

The scenic area covers an area of more than 58 square kilometers, and the core scenic area covers square kilometers, with 9 imperial tombs and more than 200 burial tombs of princes and princes. The scale of the imperial mausoleum is equivalent to that of the Ming Ming Tombs, absorbing the strengths of the imperial tombs of the Tang and Song dynasties since the Qin and Han dynasties, and being influenced by Buddhist architecture, constituting a unique form of annihilation in the Chinese cemetery architecture, so it is called the Oriental Pyramid.

The Western Xia Dynasty was a local separatist regime established with the Dangxiang ethnic group as the main body, and during the Sui and Tang dynasties, the nomadic Dangxiang people began to rise.

When the tomb of the Tangut dynasty was excavated, although it itself had many unsolved mysteries, it gave people confidence in understanding the history of the Tangut Dynasty.

Because although the tombs of the Tangut kings were severely eroded by wind and rain, their shape and layout are very similar to the Egyptian pyramids. Moreover, the purpose of the tombs of the Western Xia kings is the same as that of the pyramids, which were prepared for the royal family, and the archaeological value of the former is not inferior to that of the latter. The tombs of the Tangut kings are in the ancient eastern kingdom of China, so they are called the Oriental Pyramids.

Shape. It's about the same as the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh.

I think it's because the tombs of the Tangut kings resemble pyramids!

I don't know this, what I do know is in China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.

The reason why the tomb of the Western Xia Dynasty is called the "Oriental Pyramid" is because the royal tomb of the Western Xia is very mysterious to people, and until now no one has been able to decipher the form of its architecture and the connotation of culture, because there are few documents for the Western Xia, so archaeologists do not even know who the owner of each mausoleum is, and from the shape of the wall of the cemetery project, its structure is more like an inverted "convex" type, so it makes people associate it with a pyramid. At the same time, the most surprising thing is that these nine imperial tombs are composed of a pattern of the Big Dipper, and its burial tombs are many in spite of this, but if you look carefully, all of them are arranged according to various star signs, although the feudal society attaches great importance to feng shui, but like the Xixia Mausoleum, which is laid out with nine mausoleums and 250 accompanying tombs, it is absolutely rare in the world.

The "Western Xia Kingdom" is one of the most mysterious kingdoms in Chinese history!

In 1343 AD, he ordered the prime minister to take off the history of the Song, Liao, and Jin, but forgot about the "Great Xia" (Western Xia)! So what is the relationship between the Dangxiang people and the ancient Qiang people? How did the Tangut kingdom rise and why did it suddenly disappear without a trace?

How to interpret the peculiar Tangut script? After the fall of Western Xia, the whereabouts of the Dangxiang clan ......and so on, all of which have become mysterious and difficult to solve. This powerful kingdom, which once ruled the northwest and rivaled the Song, Liao, Jin, and Yuan, has only fragmentary records in history.

It has made the study of Tangut culture "Tangut Studies" a prominent study in the world today!

In 1972, a small military airfield was being built west of Yinchuan, and the construction company dug up some broken pottery shards, which were not strange, but strange were mixed with some fragments of bricks with strange square characters engraved on them. At first glance, these words look like Chinese, but no one can understand them.

The Mausoleum of the Western Xia Emperor can be said to be particularly spectacular, and the Mausoleum of the Western Xia Emperor is located at an altitude of more than 1 thousand meters. It is one of the largest existing ground sites in China and one of the most complete regional undead, and the tomb of the Western Xia Emperor is also one of the most famous cultural sites in the Western Xia. The architecture of the Mausoleum of the Western Xia Emperor has a very important practical significance, because his architectural style has been influenced by the culture of the Han nationality, the culture of Buddhism, the culture of the local ethnic groups, and various cultures, and finally the Mausoleum of the Western Xia Emperor.

The imperial tombs of Western Xia are not like the imperial tombs we imagined. It is made up of a small mound of earth and a small mound of earth, but it is not like our graves now, it still has a certain height, and every time the sun shines on it, you can see the golden light. That's why it's called the Pyramid of the East.

The Western Xia was established in the early 11th century as a dynasty founded by a tribesman of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it lasted for more than 180 years. It has its own unique cultural thoughts, but because it was in the era of war at that time, it was also influenced by Buddhism and some ideas of the Han people. The last imperial mausoleum they built was also influenced by this.

So if you look at it, you can see that there are a lot of figures. If you are an archaeologist, you can see a lot of Han culture and Buddhism in these tombs.

For many tourists, they don't like to go to some mausoleums, thinking that too much yin qi is not good for their future, but if you go to the Xixia cemetery. If you don't know it's a cemetery, you'll find that when you go inside, they're small mounds of gold. Let you linger after reading it.
