论西夏立国长久的一个重要原因

An important Reason for the Long-standing of Xixia

西夏雄踞西北，抗衡辽、宋、金三国，长久立国的一个重要原因是西夏拥有河套地区。河套是西夏的立国之本，西夏对河套的经营不遗余力，学界对此缺乏论述。西夏苦心经营河套，建立和巩固了以河套为中心的西夏王国，奠定了西夏立国的政治、经济、军事、交通的基础，西夏以此与辽、宋、金三大国相抗衡，立国长达190年。

Xixia stood firmly in Northwest China with Liao,Song and Jin,an important reason behind is that it occupied Hetao region.Xixia managed Hetao region and founded a kingdom centering around Hetao which in turn lay a foundation for Xixia’s politics,economy ,military affairs and transportation.
