Abstract

In the Mongolia Historical texts of the Lamaism of GELU Branch in 17th century, the History about Genghis Khan conquest of Tangut was mostly adaptation from and rewriting of non-Mongolian sources. Some of the stories are based on Chinese historical records or sketchbooks, some are adapted from ancient Mongolia and Turkic legends, others are borrowing from Tibet and Chinese Buddhist historiography. By borrowing from foreign sources and prototypes, Mongolia historians of the Lamaism of GELU Branch achieved the goal of deifying Genghis Khan and the Tangut empress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
