Duan Zhixing (Chinese: 段智興, died 1200), also known by his temple name as the Emperor Xuanzong of Dali, was the 18th[1] emperor of the Dali Kingdom between 1172 and 1200. Duan Zhixing's reign was marred by the power struggles within the influential Gao family, whose power had long eclipsed the ruling Duan family.
