Tangut Script

Tangut kingdom called XIXIA by the Chinese was a great but ephemeral country located in the central part of the Chinese continent or in the northern area of Ninghsia() from the 11th century to the 13th century (1032-1227).

The reigning territory was very vast, stretching to Eerduosi in the east, to Dunghuang in the west and to Qinghai in the south.

The kingdom was very powerful and competed with the Chinese dynasties of Song ( 960-1279),Liao (907-1125) and Jin (1115-1234).

Xixia kingdom was founded by the Tangut tribe of Tibet in A.D. 1038. However, in the 13th century, the Mongolian Yuan dynasty (1206-1367) began to conquer all the Chinese land and in 1227, the Mongolian army of Genghis Khan () destroyed the Xixia kingdom in one blow.

The kingdom of Xixia had a 190 year history of 10 kings, but this was not fully documented. Under the influence of Confucianism and Buddhism this kingdom created its own culture called Xixia Culture and also created its own writing characters.

The Xixia characters are similar to the Chinese characters in such ways as being based on a radical component which is combined with another character.

Though the character formation is similar to that of Chinese, the meaning of the Tangut characters was unclear for a long time until Professor Nishida Tatsuo () deciphered many of them. In addition, Professor Li Fan Wen () of China has made significant contributions in Tangut research.

The imperial tombs of Xixia kings were discovered at the beginning of this century. Excavations have continued since then, and the secrets of the culture have gradually been revealed.

WordMojikyo_30.lzh 138,212 Japan/U.S.A. Mojikyo MIncho Style &M012345;

WordKaisyo_30.lzh 138,003 Japan/U.S.A. Hakusyu Kaisyo Style &N012345;

WordTensyo_30.lzh 138,105 Japan/U.S.A. Mojiokyo Tensyo Style &Q012345;

This macro operates on Word and changes the notation form of a Mojikyo number.
The notations of Mojikyo number are written as "&M012345;", "&N012345;" and "&Q012345;".

Conversion can be performed out of the following 6 patterns by selecting a pattern frame (for example of &M012345; form).

1 F+T-> "Mojikyo M101 " is converted to character ""

2 -> F+T reverse conversion of 1.

3 F+T -> Number "Mojikyo M101 " is converted to
"&M000001;"

4 Number -> F+T reverse conversion of 3.

5 Number -> "&M000001;" is converted to
character "".

6 -> Number reverse conversion of 5.

If it is used combining these three Macros, You can also perform conversion like "Mojikyo Mincho object of " -> "Mojikyo M101 " -> "Mojikyo archaic script object "" .

In the performance of Macro for Word, the display must be in "draft" mode to secure the conversion.
Recommendable the work shall be done paragraph by paragraph.
In the conversion of paragraph in front of a table or within a table, you must detach the last paragraph-mark in the selected range, to avoid the disarrangement of layout.
In case footnotes or pictures exist in the designated range, the designation happens to be neutralized. In such a case, the designation range must not include any footnote or picture.

"Hakusyu Kaisyo Style Font" and "Mojikyo Tensho (Lesser Seal Script) Style Font" compatible with our "Mojikyo Mincho Style Font", are font set which only KINOKUNIYA Bookstore Co. deals with, and which are not distributed in our MOJIKYO Institute Web site.

Further detail can be read from [here], (but written in Japanese only).

ExcelTensyo_30.lzh 151,643 Japan/U.S.A. Mojiokyo Tensyo Style &Q012345;

This macro adds the exchange function of Mojikyo notation form to Excel.
The conversion by this Macro is made per each cell.
If cells are connective, you can select plural cell and convert them at one time. But conversion cannot be effective to a smaller part in a cell.
When font notation is set already in a cell, the conversion is made remaining the font notation as it was.

The notations of Mojikyo number are such as "&M012345;", "&N012345;" and "&Q012345;".

Conversion can be performed out of the following 6 patterns by selecting a pattern frame (for example of &M012345; form).

1 Font+Text -> "Mojikyo M101 " is converted to character ""

2 -> Font+Text reverse conversion of 1.

3 Font+Text -> Number "Mojikyo M101 " is converted to "&M000001;"

4 Number -> Font+Text reverse conversion of 3.

5 Number -> "&M000001;" is converted to character "".

6 -> Number reverse conversion of 5.

If it is used combining these three Macros, You can also perform conversion like
"Mojikyo Mincho object of " -> "Mojikyo M101 " -> "Mojikyo archaic script object "" .

This Macro does a setup of a font of 1 character again at a time.
Therefore, conversion speed will become extremely slow if there are many characters in a cell.
In one cell, if the "character of the Mojikyo" of about 4-5 characters is used, it will operate well.

A "Hakusyu Kaisyo Style Font" and "Mojikyo Tensho (Lesser Seal Script) Style Font" are the fonts which the KINOKUNIYA PUBL. CO. sells.
Although these have a font and compatibility our "Moljikyo Mincho Style Font", it has not distributed our MOJIKYO Institute Web site.
Furthermore, detailed explanation should see [here]( but documents are Japanese only).

How to paste 24-dot GIF to your computer

The directory in which 24-dot GIF files are set up is as follows.

http://www.mojikyo.gr.jp/gif/

Sub-directories from 000/ to 116/ , 480/ to 533/ and 570/ to 576/ are added under this GIF directory. In one sub-directory, 1000 files of 24-GIF image are stored. (But, 000000.gif file does not exist actually, then, 000/ must be read as 999/ file.)
Accordingly, the sub-directory numbers to be input must be the number simply divided by 1000.

For example, let us introduce the Mojikyo Character " Mirror" from our Home Page. The Mojikyo Number of "" is 040812. You divide it in such a way. "40812 / 1000 = 40.812". When you omit the figures after the decimal fraction, you can get "40" as the sub-directory number. Then, you describe in HTML source as follows.

The character "" appears on your display as you wanted to acquire. This GIF Image character can be downloaded for your local use.

How to paste 96-dot GIF to your computer

The procedure of pasting is the same mentioned above. Only the difference is the directory name. The directory for 96-dot GIF set up in our Home Page is as follows.

http://www.mojikyo.gr.jp/gif96/

When you want to paste the character "" of 96-dot GIF, you write the following descriptions in the source like as the case of 24-dot GIF.

Then, much clearer image of "" emerges in front of you. These 96-dot images are useful to discern the details of the complex characters.
