What was the Tangut script made for?
It served the Tangut state’s books and public life.
Created under Li Yuanhao in 1036, Tangut writing served state-building: it supported Buddhist scripture in Tangut and a written identity distinct from Song China. It also carried Chinese classics, military works, encyclopedias, and translated literature. It was a separate script: Chinese writing influenced its design, while the Khitan people's earlier script-making offered a regional model.
