บทคัดย่อ

As an important node of the Silk Road, Xinjiang is a place where multiple ethnic groups co-exist, and the Tajiks there have a unique historical background and musical tradition, which tends to be further enriched by the various cultural exchanges brought by the Silk Road. This study aims are: 1. To explore the origin of the Tajik musical culture. 2. Uncover the themes, emotions and characteristics of Tajik folk songs. Also, this study analyzes the history, culture and music of the Tajiks using documentary research and conducts in-depth field and interview research through fieldwork.

The study shows that the Tajik music embodies the deep historical and cultural traditions of the Tajik people, incorporating diverse cultural factors, especially cultural integration with the Silk Road. The Tajik folk songs not only reflect daily life and emotions, but also provide researchers with a window into the Tajik history and culture. In addition, the Tajik musical instruments, such as the eagle flute, Tajik Ghizhak, etc., have their own unique structure and playing skills, and these instruments deeply reflect the style and characteristics of Tajik music. In general, the Tajik music is not only an art form, but also an important carrier of the history and culture of the Tajiks, which merits further research and inheritance.
