Introduction to Uygur sanam

Applicant: Hami, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region

Sanam is one of the most popular folk dances of Uygur people, which is widely spread in the towns and villages in the north and south of Tianshan Mountains. It is an indispensable part of Uighur daily life. Every festival, wedding ceremony, family and friends gathering, Uighur people will hold a MASILLA evening party, and jump up sainaim to celebrate. Sainaimu has a long history, mainly originated in the oasis of Southern Xinjiang, which is engaged in agricultural life, inhabited by ethnic groups and developed in culture. Since the 16th century, under the guidance of music masters such as kedilhan, yarkandi and amaniluohan (nefis), the twelve muqams formed through the excavation, collection and arrangement of many folk musicians have absorbed the sanem which has long been popular among the people and become a part of qiongnaierman in each Muqam, and sanem is still widely spread in its independent form.

Wubao sainaim is one of the most popular Uyghur Traditional Song and Dance Arts in Wubao area. It is mainly composed of sainaim, baladadingya, yardayido, yanadayido, maliboli sayartola, briblicz, torhayi, baierdai shaqiqinkiayila, torakari dingmansanha and tahedi It is composed of nine sets, including love ballads, life ballads and various folk ballads expressing the people's joys and sorrows.

Kaqun sainaim is a kind of traditional song and dance performed with the accompaniment of Uygur hand drum, dutar, dizi, aiczech, rewap, tanbal, suona and other national musical instruments. It is composed of Kaqun sainaim, tajihan sainaim, visali sainaim, toyisainaim, tagsainaim and other nine sainaims, 51 tunes (tunes) and 150 rich kushak (poems). His performance is divided into four parts: Muqam, cenem, celektra schulger (the last part) and macmileup (macmileup with a total of 15 single tunes, including more than 100 kushak). Between macmileup's performances, entertaining folk games will be interspersed to set off the atmosphere.

Sainaim is a precious heritage of national culture, which fully reflects the original religious beliefs, local customs, music and dance of the Uygur people, and has a high value of historical and cultural research. At present, under the impact of foreign culture, there is no inheritance of Uygur sainaim, which needs to be protected.
