The intangible cultural heritage passed down by word of mouth is the precipitation of the vast history, the imprint engraved by the years, and the precious wealth left by human beings. Together with the material cultural heritage, it constitutes a colorful human world.

The Tajiks are an ancient ethnic group in China. They mainly live in Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County in Xinjiang, and the rest are distributed in Shache, Yecheng, Zepu and other counties to the east of the county.

The harsh natural environment of the Pamirs has shaped the indomitable will and the indomitable national spirit of the Tajik nation, and gradually formed the special aesthetic pursuit of the Tajik nation. They regard eagles as strong men and heroes, and spread folk songs and legends about eagles in the folk.

The Eagle Dance is composed of two parts, the dance and the tune of the Eagle Flute. Eagle dance is a folk dance, and the tune of the eagle flute is also a tune handed down from the folk. Through the dance movements and the tune of different eagle flutes, it reflects the pursuit of a better life by the Tajiks, and at the same time, it also reflects the love life of young men and women.

The movements of the eagle dance and the tune of the eagle flute are very beautiful and distinctive, and are unique among the folk dances in Xinjiang. The Tajik eagle dance is a traditional folk dance of the Tajik people. During festivals and happy events, the Tajiks all dance the eagle dance to express their joy.

The eagle dance does not have strict requirements on the venue. It can be danced on the stage, on the field, or at home. As long as it is accompanied by eagle flutes and tambourines, Tajiks can dance gracefully. The Tajik eagle dance expresses rich emotions through the movements of the dancer's hands, feet, eyes and whole body.

The formation of the characteristics of Tajik dance is inseparable from the accompaniment instruments and their unique playing methods. Eagle flute, tambourine, labafu (rewafu), blanzikum, and Tajik-style Aegean are all widely used folk instruments. . The main forms of Tajik eagle dances are "Qafusuzi", "Mailisi", "Lapuyi" and so on.

During the performance, one man usually invites another man to dance with them. The two slowly spread their arms and slowly advance along the edge of the venue, like two eagles soaring in circles; then the rhythm becomes faster, and the two chase each other and play, and suddenly their shoulders and backs are close to each other. Seeing, walking quickly, and jumping apart suddenly, like an eagle rising and falling, twisting and spinning from low to high, skyrocketing, and finally the dance ends in a competitive spin. These dynamic performances are obviously the remains and sublimation of the Western Music and Dance "Hu Xuan Dance" and "Hu Teng Dance" skills.
