Dutar, the Persian music of Western Asia, is one of the many sources of the fine tradition of Uyghur music. Dutar means "two", and "tar" means "string". Dutar is an instrument with two strings, and it is also one of the traditional stringed instruments especially favored by Uyghur bell. No matter dance, song, rap, there is always its string sound accompaniment.

At this moment, the string sound is flowing like a river, and it also depicts the beautiful flowers and trees of the Yili River, and the beautiful and safe living environment. The river is rushing and marching, and the people on the river are also marching, which does not mix fear and hesitation, but is full of comfortable, pleasant, leisurely and satisfied, as if they were walking in a group with friends and relatives in a rich and stable heart. Even if time passes quickly. The music celebrates the people of the Ili River, surrounded by goodwill, giving and accepting, joyful and self-sufficient.
