Xinjiang is a multi-ethnic region, inhabited by thirteen major ethnic groups. Due to the differences in historical origins, living environment, modes of production and living customs of various nationalities, different cultures with their own characteristics are maintained. Uighurs have a long history in China and are also one of the most representative ethnic groups in Xinjiang.
Uighurs are famous for their ability to sing and dance, and their dance art is characterized by implication, grace and calmness. Their female dances are elegant and generous, while their male dances are vigorous and cheerful. Dances such as Sainaim, Duolang and Maixilaifu, which have the characteristics of Uygur customs, have always continued the historical tradition of Uygur people's love of singing and dancing.
