Overview

The Tangut culture belongs to the Tangut people, who established the Western Xia dynasty in China from 1038 to 1227 AD. Tangut's society was based in Northwest China, specifically, regions such as Ningxia, Gansu, and parts of Shaanxi and Qinghai. They contributed remarkably to the art, literature, and religious landscape of the period.

Tangut culture was heavily influenced by Tibetan and Han Chinese cultures. They developed their own writing system, known as the Tangut script, which was a significant cultural development. The Tangut alphabet was unique, replete with intricate characters and a combination of logographic and syllabic systems.

Art was of considerable importance in the Tangut culture. Tangut art is usually categorized as part of the broader 'Tibeto-Chinese' art tradition, embodying both Chinese and Tibetan visual elements.

In terms of religion, the Tangut were primarily Buddhists, with a significant influence of Tibetan Lamaist Buddhism. However, they also incorporated elements of Confucianism and Taoism into their belief system.

Unfortunately, much of the Tangut culture vanished after the Mongol conquest in 1227. However, their contributions to art, literature, and a unique blend of cultures left a lasting impact, making the Tangut culture a vital part of Asian history.
