In the 1960s, the musicians of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Song and Dance Troupe cooperated with the Uyghur musical instrument makers of the Urumqi Yidi Boke Musical Instrument Factory to design and develop the bass Aijie.

When playing, take a seated position with a slightly upright chest, place a wooden tail post or a meniscus seat on the left leg (the bass Aijik is placed on the ground, and the two legs are clamped), support the piano rod with the left hand, and press the strings with the fingertips. , the right hand holds a ponytail bow dipped in rosin and played outside the strings. The method of using the bow is the same as that of the erhu.
