當唐僖宗時，有拓拔思敬者，為夏州偏將，後以與破黃巢功，賜姓李氏，拜夏州節度使。 Under Xizong a man named Tuoba Sijing was a deputy in Xia. For helping crush Huang Chao he took the imperial surname Li and became commissioner of Xia.

思敬卒，乾寧二年，以其弟思諫為節度使。 Sijing died. In Qianning 2 his brother Sijian succeeded him at Xia.

朱玫之亂，思敬與鄜州李思孝皆以兵屯渭橋。 During Zhu Mei’s revolt, Sijing and Li Sixiao of Fu Prefecture encamped at Wei Bridge.

其後，黃巢陷京師，王重榮、李克用等會諸鎮兵討賊，思敬與破巢復京師，然皆未嘗有所可稱，故思敬之世次、功過不顯而無傳。 When Chao seized Chang’an, Wang Chongrong and Li Keyong mustered the circuits against him. Sijing helped retake the city, but won no fame for it. His deeds and his line fade into silence.
