Huaer is a folk song with distinctive regional characteristics

Huaer, also known as Xinjiang Huaer, is the traditional music of Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture and Bayinguoleng Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and one of the national intangible cultural heritages.

Xinjiang Huaer originated from Hezhou Huaer and Taomin Huaer, and was introduced from Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and other places. Xinjiang's unique geographical environment, ethnic customs and the influence of the phonology of the mat-test-and-paddle language gradually made it a folk song form with distinctive regional characteristics.

The content of Huaer's poems in Xinjiang mostly reflects the living conditions of working people, mainly exposing and accusing the cruel exploitation and oppression of the feudal ruling class in the old society, and telling the miserable life of the poor people.

After the reform and opening-up, Xinjiang Huaer added the content of praising the party, the motherland and the new life to the lyrics, expressing the spirit of people in the new era and the happy wishes of young men and women in the pursuit of love life.

In music, Xinjiang Huaer combines the characteristics of Xinjiang Uygur and Kazak music and folk songs, draws lessons from the fast rhythm of Uygur music in rhythm, and absorbs the humor of Aken, a Kazak, in singing, forming a unique style with little drawling in singing, little Hua Yin in tunes, forceful lyrics and tunes.

Xinjiang flower is one of the carriers of Xinjiang local culture, with distinctive national characteristics and strong local flavor, a broad mass base, and a multi-cultural treasure in Xinjiang. Xinjiang flower has certain research value for anthropology, ethnology and folklore.

As a grass-roots culture, Xinjiang flowers sing about love and life, which is a precious folk oral literature and art form.
