Xixia Mausoleum, also known as Xixia Emperor Mausoleum and Xixia Imperial Mausoleum, is the imperial mausoleum and royal mausoleum of Xixia in past dynasties. The tomb is located in the west of Yinchuan City, Ningxia, bordering Helan Mountain in the west and Yinchuan Plain in the east, with an altitude of 1 130m to 1200m. It is one of the largest royal cemeteries in China, with the most complete ground site and the largest existing Xixia cultural site.

Xixia Mausoleum is about 5km wide from east to west and10km long from north to south. Within 50 kilometers of Fiona Fang, with the natural ups and downs of hills and ridges, there are 9 imperial tombs and 254 tombs of different shapes, sizes and sizes. The building scale of Xixia Mausoleum is equivalent to that of Ming Tombs in Beijing, and each mausoleum is a complete building.

Covering an area of 654.38+10,000 square meters, it is built on the flat ground and faces south. The tall Quetai stands at the southernmost tip of the cemetery like a majestic guard. The pavilion is located behind it. There was once a stone tablet carved in Xixia and Chinese to praise the emperor's achievements.

Behind the pavilion is the moon city, and the south wall in the middle is the gate que, which enters the moon city. There are stone statues of civil servants and officers here. To the north of Moon City is Ling City. There is a doorway in the center of the holy wall in the south of Lingcheng, through which you can enter Lingcheng. Lingtai, located in the northwest of Lingcheng, is an octagonal tower building. The upper and lower levels are divided into 5 levels, 7 levels and 9 levels respectively. The external eaves are made of brick, which is a brick-wood tile structure. Lingtai is the main building of the cemetery.

In the traditional cemetery architecture in ancient China, the mausoleum platform is generally a mound, which plays a role in sealing the soil and is located above the tomb. The Xixia Mausoleum was built at the north of the mausoleum 10 meter, and it has no function of sealing the soil. Its shape is octagonal tower, which is divided into 7, 5 and 9 floors, and the bottom is slightly higher. It is a tower-shaped mausoleum with a dense eaves structure of rammed earth, solid bricks and wood, and it stands outside the central axis, which is unprecedented in the architectural history of China and is the creation of the Tangut. Regrettably, after Xixia was destroyed by the Mongolian army, the cemetery was vandalized, the ground buildings were completely destroyed, and the inscriptions were all fragments.

Influenced by the Central Plains culture, there are a large number of ground buildings in the organizational system of Xixia Mausoleum. The main reason why we can't see these buildings today is the destruction of Mongols in those days. However, it is difficult and time-consuming to level the land on the tomb, and it is meaningless to level a dirt mountain, so they can be preserved to this day.
