The Tangut script was created in 1036 under Li Yuanhao, ruler of Western Xia, as part of state-building; a Buddhist canon in Tangut is thought to have been a major goal. Khara-Khoto finds from the 12th or early 13th century include Buddhist scriptures and Tangut translations of Confucian, military, encyclopedic, and literary works. The script drew inspiration from Chinese writing but remained distinct.
A historical character tied to Tangut texts and scholarship.
