Question
Buddhist woodblocks from this clan’s print shops may bear influence from frontispieces in the Tangut canon. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this Hàn clan that married into the Northern Zhōu’s (“joh’s”) Xiānbēi (“shee-EN-bay”) nobility. An “invincible” general of this family inspired legends of its heroines Mù Guìyīng (“moo gway-yeeng”) and Shé Sàihuā (“shuh sigh-hwah”) fighting the Tanguts and Liáo (“lee-ow”).
ANSWER: Yáng clan [or Joeng or Yeung; accept The Generals of the Yang Family, Yáng Jiā Jiàng, Yang Chia Chang, or Joeng Gaa Zoeng; accept Yáng Yè, Yang Yeh, Joeng Jip, Yáng Jìyè, Yang Chi-yeh, or Joeng Gai-jip; prompt on Suí dynasty or Ceoi by asking “what was its ruling family?”]
[10m] This scion (“SY-on”) of Wèi’s (“way’s”) Xiānbēi royalty deposed the Suí’s (“sway’s”) Yáng clan with his father and sister Princess Píngyáng. This Lǐ (“lee”) clan prince allied with the related Yenisei Kyrgyz (“kirr-GUZZ”) khagan after his fratricidal coup at the Xuánwǔ (“shwen-woo”) Gate.
ANSWER: Tàizōng of Táng [or Lǐ Shìmín or Li Shih-min; or T’ang T’ai-tsung or Tong Taai-zung; prompt on Táng, T’ang, Lǐn, King of Qín, or Qín Wáng] (Like Táng’s Lǐ family, the Yenisei Kyrgyz and traced their lineage from Lǐ Guǎng, in their case via the Xiōngnú defector Lǐ Líng.)
[10e] Tàizōng’s rebellion was reportedly aided by warriors from this monastery, whose trainer Bodhidharma is only attested by Yáng Xuànzhī (“shwen-jurr”). The “Yáng family spear” rivaled this temple’s style of kung fu.
ANSWER: Shǎolín Temple [or Shǎolín Monastery or Shǎolín sì or Siu-lam zi; accept Shǎolín kung fu, Shǎolín gōngfū, Shǎolín wǔshù, or Shàolín quán]
