It was widely used in Xixia period. It is widely used in the new law of reform in the heyday of heaven and even in the compilation of Xixia literature and history doctors. The Xixia dictionary includes both Xixia and Chinese versions of Wenhai, Yintong and Pan-Korean Pearl Hand in Hand. At the same time, it is used in official letters and engravings, seals, plaques and currency, and some Chinese books and more than 3,000 volumes of Buddhist scriptures have been translated into Xixia.
note:
Xixia kingdom has been destroyed for 1000 years, but its domestic characters have been handed down. They can not only become evidence for later archaeologists to decipher the ancient Xixia kingdom, but also become an important practice template for calligraphers.
According to statistics, there are more than 6,000 complete Xixia characters handed down from generation to generation, which are collectively referred to as dead words. After all, the Xixia kingdom perished, and the inheritance of culture and writing was interrupted. Calligraphers are good at China's calligraphy, which is undoubtedly recognized, but readers may not know that in fact, many calligraphers have practiced Xixia calligraphy and become masters of writing such characters. Why is Xixia calligraphy so popular? The reason is that its font has many strokes.
Anyone who loves calligraphy knows that when writing, the strokes that are often missed are the most special. It is not only beautiful and generous, but also easy to write, which can be described as a panacea. There are not many apostrophe strokes in Chinese characters, but Xixia characters are different. Apostrophe is the most common stroke of this kind of words. Therefore, Xixia characters can make calligraphers more successful and write beautiful characters more easily.
