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"...

Guri, in the Uygur language, means flower, and it always appears in women's names. The beauty of Tajik women is well known, and such beauty, set off against the scenery of the plateau, can not help but sing praise. Beautiful girls, love and hometown are the themes of Tajik folk songs. The bow made of a horse's tail, dipped in rosin, pulled the ancient string instrument Aeche, a series of trillings like the autumn river side rustled reed flowers, the string sound fluctuated, is the horse neigh under the Tianshan mountains, the river winding, against the high sky, and the high and comfortable female voice seems to break through the sky, amazing as the sun reflected on the top of the snow mountain, look up the moment, The goshawk swept past. The voice of the song gently, straight into the sky, so beautiful, people are willing to bow down, as the name of the song.
