Li Renxiao (李仁孝) (1124 – October 16, 1193) was the fifth emperor of Western Xia. In the fifth year of Dade (1139), Li Qianshun of Xia Chongzong died, and Li Renxiao took the throne at the age of sixteen. During his reign, the heyday of the Western Xia, but also the stable development of the Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, and there were few wars between the three kingdoms, so Li Renxiao was able to concentrate on the internal affairs of the country. The khanates envied the strength of Western Xia and paid tribute one after another. Culture is at its peak, writing a brilliant page for party culture. In the twenty-fourth year of Qianyou (1193), Li Renxiao died at the age of seventy.
