西夏文字是一千年前党项族建立的西夏王朝创制并使用的文字,后世失传。19世纪至20世纪之交被重新发现,因识者寥寥,被称作“天书”。研究这种文字及其文献的“西夏学”被称为“绝学”。近一个世纪以来,在中外西夏学学者的共同努力下,西夏学已发展成为一门国际显学,但迄今为止,世界上尚未正式出版过一部西夏文字典。 The text of the Western Xia Dynasty is the text created and used by the Western Xia dynasty founded by a group of party clans a thousand years ago, which is lost in the future. From the 19th century to the turn of the 20th century was rediscovered, because few people know, is called “bible ”. To study this text and its literature “Xixia learn ” is called “never learn ”. For nearly a century, with the concerted efforts of Chinese and Western scholars, Xixia Studies has developed into an international study of learning. But so far, no Xixia dictionary has been officially published in the world.
