@qilinmelb The history I read indicates that until the fall of uyghur empire, Uyghurs were forced to move to Tianshan and Tarim, they started to accept Buddhsm and became the new promotors and supports on Buddhsim sculpture and wall painting follwoing local persian tribes.

@qilinmelb I do not care if you prefer Tajik dance over Uyghur dance, it would be just like I prefer Korean dance over Chinese dance for my artistic taste. Everyone has different taste in art. Just know that the above video is a Tajik dance, NOT Uyghur dance performed by a well-round Uyghur dancer. That does not make Uyghurs learning dance from Tajiks.Just watch Uyghur dances from the Buddhist era, that may give you the trace of Uyghur Buddhist culture, Uyghur dance is just Uyghur not mixture.

@qilinmelb When ancestors of Uyghurs were living in old Uyghur Empire and Hon Empire periods, Uughur tribes were the leading tribe and had the high level of civilization. I am not sure if the books you read talked about that or not. I did not say Chinese history books, and I am not political for your note, so do not try to take it to extreme by sounding as if I was accusing Chinese books, you may have read it in some others books written in other languages which I do not care about.

@qilinmelb I have read history before the Islamic era in the region. Uyghurs created the highest level of Buddhist culture including wall painting, music and dance in the world during Kok Turk Khaghanate and Uyghur Orhon Kingdom periods. It is true that Soghdi people were living western part of Taklamakan desert by then, and we have accepted their script for some period, but Uyghurs had scripts even before that, it was only one of the scripts Uyghurs used through histories.

@yardandy Only from Tajik music and dance, I can still feel and trace a little of lost civilisation in Tarim Basin before Islam. I could hardly find these elements in Uyghur culture, but Arab and Islamic elements. So thats the reason I have greater preference towards Tajik music and dance. Xinjiang has a great civilised history far beyond Islam era where Uyghur ancestors and Persians lived. Read history in the region before Islamic era, you will find more and understand what I am talking about.

@yardandy Our ties were cut off and Xinjaing was isolated from Ming Dynasties. Conflicts started to build up since then. Before Islam era, there was little discrimination towards ancient Xinjiang. Ancient Chinese had emotional complex tied to central Asia and ancient Persia regarding the art of Buddism and music/dance. Just like Japanese somehow treasures Tang Dynasty and its culture even nowadays. Chinese share the same emotions.

@yardandy The attitude towards Uyghur from Han Chinese pointof view is pretty much the same as the Japanese view towards modern Chinese. Chinese abandoned quite a lot of its own traditions of which are kept in Japan to a certain extent. This is somehow same as Chinese view towards Uyghur. Before Islamic era, we all shared the similar religion with cultural exchange to a large extent. Only after 13th century, with masacre of Musilms from central Asia, Buddism was eliminated.

@yardandy History books in China never say anything against Uyghur. Instead, it highyl regard Uyghur culture as one of the most important and shining in Chinese history. All above is my personal view from my knowledge towards the history. It has to do nothing with Chinese education and propoganda. Chinese education never produce tentions betwen ethnic groups in China, it promotes equality of ethnicity. But from the reality, Uyghur are sometimes discriminated from their attitude and behaviours.

@qilinmelb Well, I do not care if you were not Persian, but what you say is just stupid. Your history books may told you that, but my history books do not say the same. It is pointless to argue whose culture was more civilized in the past, but it evident Turkic cultures contributed the world so much through histories. Uyghurs are proud to be Muslims, you have no right to judge our religion as we do not care what religion you follow, We do not need you to tell us what to do, screw you racist!!

[qilinmelb]

@yardandy I am araid I have to let you down. I am not a stupid brain-washed Persian either in Iran or Tajikistan, but a Chinese in Australia. What I believe from the history records and archeology is that ancient Persian culture was in much soveignty than Turk culture and more civilised. The only tragedy is that ancient Persia was defeated by Arabs who used to be barbarians and their culture was ruined. More tragic, Uyghurs abandoned their Buddhism reliegion and followed Arabs.
