Xinjiang song style

The most famous music in Xinjiang is Uygur folk music. It inherits the artistic traditions of ancient Qiuci music, Gaochang music, Yizhou music, Shule music and Yutian music, and retains strong national characteristics. Due to geographical separation, in the long-term historical development, Uygur folk music in various parts of Xinjiang has been injected into the milk of local life, forming several musical color zones with different styles, namely, southern Xinjiang color zone, eastern Xinjiang color zone and Dao Lang color zone (Dao Lang area includes Bachu, Mohammad, Awati and villages bordering shache county). "Dao Lang" is the local name for this area. The colorful areas in southern Xinjiang are very wide, and the contents and forms are different from place to place. For example, Hotan folk songs are simple and short, full of local flavor; Kashgar folk songs have complex rhythms and rich modes; Kuqa folk songs are lively and lively, and the dances are vivid, which vaguely reveals the legacy of ancient Qiuci music and dance. Dongjiang Color District includes Hami, Turpan and other places. Folk songs are similar to Han and Mongolian in structure and mode. The folk songs in Dao Lang Color District are rough in style, retaining the idyllic sentiment loved by the ancient nomadic Uyghur Dolans. In addition, in Yili area, a large number of Uighurs who have moved from southern Xinjiang and eastern Xinjiang for more than 200 years have inevitably accepted the influence of multi-ethnic culture here and formed Uygur folk music with local colors in Yili. Songs are complete in structure, large in scale, long in tune and deep in emotion, and many songs have narrative characteristics.
