An introduction to Tajik folk paper-cutting

The Tajiks developed from tribes distributed in the eastern part of the Pami Plateau and tribes in Shikenan, Wakhan and other places in the west and south. The Taxkorgan region belongs to the transportation hub of the "Silk Road", and the Tajik ancestors were influenced by the cultural exchanges between the East and the West. Eagle culture has a long history on the Pamir Plateau and has become a source of strength for the Tajik people. In fact, the paper-cut pattern has strong and clear contrast, a balance of hardness and softness, and is extremely varied. It uses decorative interest to express a warm atmosphere, which fully demonstrates the traditional cultural characteristics of the Tajik nation, which is mainly nomadic. In addition, most of the Hui, Xibo, Russian and other ethnic groups migrated from other regions. Their folk art styles are often different due to the influence of the region of origin. However, in the land of Xinjiang, they have gradually evolved through the long-term mutual influence of multiple ethnic groups. Communicate and blend with each other.
