The Tajiks living on the eastern side of the Pamir Plateau and in Tashkurgan, Shache, Yechen and other places have a long and diversified musical tradition. Their settlements are located at the most mysterious and beautiful crossroads of the ancient Silk Road. All ethnic groups in the Western regions, as well as ancient Persian, ancient Indian and ancient Arab civilizations, have left their marks on Tajik music. The Musical Instruments of Tajik nationality are rich and similar to those of Uyghur nationality, but they retain their own ethnic characteristics. The tabla Dabu has a wide poplar frame, covered with animal skin, the string instrument Aichek has a unique violin case, the plucked instrument Tajdalzhwaf is often dug out of whole apricot wood, the sheep casing string, and the most noticed and praised Tajik eagle whistle "Nai"...

Xiasitar gurgling play between, the melody is pouring lyrically, such as a silver bottle flowing out of the bright moonlight, splashed down in the mountain spring river, and along the mountain pent down, gurgling, and the rocks, and then gradually calm, a Wang Yingying ran, chuai into the heart. The girl's voice was wide and beautiful, as if from the water, the bright and clear moon rose again, gradually into the sky, reflecting the bright glow and high peace. She brings sorrow to the eyes and tears to the eyes and hearts of those whom she cannot find. The ballad of sad love reminds one of the Tajik word in their language: crown.
