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"...

Qingyue eagle whistle like from the distant snow-capped mountains, vaguely can see the goshawk carrying the shadow of the sun, hovering on the top of the mountain, but light, transparent no longer have shape and weight. It was an eagle flute made from the longest wing bone of an eagle, the most cherished and unique instrument of the Tajik people. The bones were fine and shiny, and the bone lines were dense and dense, and the smoke from the bread pit gave out a beautiful dark red color. The three simple blow holes, as if for the air flowing through the plateau, lifted it and spread its wings, allowing the music to fly in the sky. However, the low, with the stone tone of the Da B suddenly joined, straight to the heart, the calm rhythm in the more open melody spread, marching, such as the snow mountain melt water poured, the long river flowing, and the eagle flute also turned to become more beautiful, happy, curling dance all the way through the mountains, falling in the spruce forest, falling in the lush mountain grassland, flowers on the plateau.
