There are not many literary works of Xixia handed down from generation to generation. There are engravings and engravings of Xixia poems in the literature of Heishui City, and dozens of poems have been preserved, which reflects the artistic achievements of Xixia poems. There are a large number of various types of Xixia proverbs in the Collection of New Words and Proverbs, which show the social customs of Xixia and the national ethics and morality of Tangut Qiang in a mellow national style.
The Xixia rulers actively borrowed the culture of the Central Plains and translated a large number of China classics, such as The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, Sun Tzu's Art of War, and The Book of Filial Piety. In particular, the book Lin Lei, edited by Yu in the Tang Dynasty, has long been lost. There are only zero fragments in Dunhuang documents, and the Xixia edition is intact. Through translation and supplement, this lost ancient book can be restored to its original appearance.
