The Tangut is a minority nationality that originated in northwest China in ancient times. In some literatures, it is also called Tang Wu, Tangti and Tangut. It is generally considered to be a branch of the Qiang nationality, so it is also called the Tangut Qiang. During the Han dynasty, Qiang people migrated to Guanlong and Hexi areas in large numbers. At this time, they still lived a primitive nomadic life. Later, they gradually developed eight tanguts, of which Tuoba was the most powerful.

The surviving Tangut war destroyed life, but it was also a fusion agent of different races. A few Tangut people who surrendered to Mongolia undoubtedly merged with most Mongolians and Han followers. In addition, while the Mongolian army was rampant in Xixia, some Tangut people moved south, and finally a regime parallel to the Yuan Dynasty was established in Muya area of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, named "Xiwu". In the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu Cheng Zu lost the title of Tusi because he helped the Ming Dynasty to crusade against the Sichuan warlord Ming Yuzhen, which lasted until the Qing Dynasty. During the reign of Kangxi, the title of toast was terminated because there was no male heir.

The descendants of the Tangut people, like other ethnic minorities in China, are like a cup of mellow wine, full of vicissitudes. Their predecessors are like handfuls of mixed grains, which have been fermented for a long time, heated by fire, steamed by hot air, and finally cooled into drops of water. It makes people's lips and teeth fragrant and unforgettable. There was always a lot of helplessness in the past, and the Tangut people had had infinite glory, so their names were destined to be remembered.

Where is Xixia in China? There is a saying that after the demise of Xixia, Tuoba bound his feet and led Yuzhong into the Kangding area of Sichuan and Tibet, where he established a small kingdom: the Kingdom of Western Wu.

The specific address and information of King Wu Guiwang can no longer be verified, because this small country has not existed for a long time and there is no written record. However, after research, archaeologists believe that the Muya people in Sichuan Province, whether in language or customs, are probably descendants of the Tangut people in the Western Wu State.

Besides the Maya, others surrendered to the Mongols. As mentioned above, they became Semu people to serve the Yuan Dynasty, and the heroic and combative character of Xixia people was also valued by the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty.

The other part moved to Baoding, Hebei Province, and later traces and records show that these people still kept the custom of Tangut people at least during the Ming Dynasty, but were later assimilated by the Han people.
