In our daily study and work life, many people have come into contact with some classic handwritten newspapers, which can effectively help us obtain information and cultivate our comprehensive ability. Then what kind of handwritten newspaper is good? The following is the handwritten newspaper information about Xinjiang's ethnic customs. Welcome to read it. I hope you will like it.

Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, referred to as Xin for short, is located in the northwest border of China, with Urumqi as the capital. It is one of the five minority autonomous regions in China and the largest provincial administrative region in China, covering an area of 1.66 million square kilometers, accounting for one-sixth of the total land area of China. Xinjiang is a multi-ethnic region, with 47 ethnic groups, among which 13 are Han, Uygur, Kazak, Hui, Kirgiz, Mongolian, Tajik, Xibe, Manchu, Uzbek, Turkman, Russian, Daur and tatar people.

Uighurs attach importance to the decoration of houses, showing a variety of decorative means. However, tapestries are hung on the walls of every family, and carpets are laid on the pits, which is the same feature.

Uygur folk music can be divided into Muqam, folk songs, folk songs and dances, folk instrumental music, rap music, religious music, etc. It inherits the fine traditions of Shule Music, Yutian Music, Qiuci Music, Gaochang Music and Yizhou Music.

Twelve Muqams

"Twelve Muqams" is a form of classical Daqu, including songs, instrumental music and dances. It has three types: Kashi Muqam, Duolang Muqam and Hami Muqam, and is performed by folk musicians at custom festivals, festive weddings and entertainment parties. Amanisha, an outstanding Uygur female musician in the 16th century, collected and sorted out Muqam popular all over the country and compiled it into twelve sets of songs and dances, which made Muqam form tend to be stereotyped. In 25, "Twelve Muqams" was listed in the World Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection List by the United Nations.

Musical Instruments

There are dozens of Uygur national musical instruments, such as plucking, playing and percussion.

"Dutar" and "Rewafu" are the most commonly used. Solo and ensemble instruments have clear and soft timbres.

"Dafu" is a sheepskin drum struck with fingers, and the wooden frame around the drum is inlaid with many small movable iron rings. With the clanging of drums, it is often used for dance accompaniment.

Folk Songs

Uygur folk songs are similar to Muqam, and the styles of Uygur folk songs are obviously different from place to place due to different geographical environment and other factors. Ili folk songs are lyrical; Hami folk songs are short and lively; Kashgar folk songs are mostly bold and straightforward. Uygur singers often sing with musical instruments. Northern singers like to use Dutar and play Brin; Hami singers like to use Hami Aijieke; Southern singers like to use Kashgar Rewafu. In terms of scales and modes of folk songs, folk songs in most parts of southern Xinjiang use scales of seven tones or more, which has an unusual feeling. There are many folk songs in Northeast China that use pentatonic and hexatonic scales.

its content can be divided into two parts: traditional folk songs and Xinmin songs. Traditional folk songs include love songs, labor songs, historical songs and life customs songs.
