Xixia Studies was an international discipline that started to emerge at the beginning of this century. Since 1908-1909 Russian Kozlov discovered a large number of Xixia literature in Heishui, which aroused the interest of scholars from various countries in the study of Xixia language and literature, and laid the foundation of Xixia Studies. With the continuous efforts of scholars from China, Russia, Japan and other countries, Xixia studies have gradually developed into an independent and complete subject body.
