The Ming Xia, officially the Great Xia, was a short-lived rebel state in China during the Red Turban Rebellion, which occurred in the final phase of the Yuan dynasty. It was established in Sichuan in 1362 by Ming Yuzhen, who had been ruling there since 1357 on behalf of the rebel state of Tianwan. In 1360, Ming Yuzhen declared himself King of Longshu and ruled independently. The state of Xia was conquered by the Ming dynasty in 1371.
