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"...

The Tajiks celebrate the beauty of their homeland with music, and the long strumming of Tajdarzhwaf is at first written freely and cleanly in scattered rhythms, like daylight slanting across snow-capped mountains on a plateau, shifting over time. A panoramic landscape, like the eagle's perspective, overlooking the open plateau grassland, the gentle undulation of the land line, the winding and open river; Then, the rhythm of Dumbak's easy and scattered to join them, the sound of picking turns to agitation, the tone of praise becomes sonorous, passionate and forceful, with a strong lyrical expression that does not tolerate mistakes, like the snow that does not melt in the snow mountains all year round, and the hard rock texture and landform of nature. Then the beat became more rapid and dense, as if the river were rushing forward, the horses pushing, the whips tapping, chasing each other toward the sun.
