On the Origin of Bai II

"Xixia Fu" says: "Thousand-handed Stone Town is near the desert water, and the red-faced father is in Baihe". "Red-faced dad", that is, "macaque species". Since Dangxiang Qiang calls himself a "macaque species", its birthplace should be above the Baihe River, so it is called "Bai Guo Shang". "Bai Guoshang" is transliterated as "Bangmuding". Bai Shiyi translated. The names "Bai" or "Bai Shang Xia Da Guo" or "Bai" often appear in the inscriptions, classics and poems of Xixia. Why is it called "Bai Shang"? Chinese and foreign historians have had a heated debate about this, and there are mainly two different explanations. First, "Bai Yue" refers to the White River. The so-called Baihe, the white water at the junction of Sichuan and Gansu provinces, is also called Bailong River. The white river refers to its upper reaches.
