Emperor Shenzong of Western Xia

Emperor Shenzong of Western Xia (1163–1226), born Li Zunxu (Chinese: 李遵頊), was the eighth emperor of the Tangut-led Chinese Western Xia dynasty.

Shenzong took power after a coup d'état and continued Xiangzong's policy of invading Jin Empire.

He did not listen to those who advised peace with Jin Empire, and Western Xia sped up its decline.

He passed power onto his son Lǐ Déwàng in 1223, and died in 1226.
