(230116) -- SHANSHAN, Jan. 16, 2023 (Xinhua) -- A folk artist rehearses at Sulayman Abdu's residence in Muqam Village, Lukqun Town, Shanshan County, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Jan. 11, 2023. With all grape vines buried properly for their protection against cold in winter, people of Lukqun Town in Shanshan have concluded their farm work of the year and started to enjoy a leisure time. However, Sulayman Abdu, a resident of Muqam Village in Lukqun, still has his hands full with performance appointments from his neighbors. Sulayman Abdu, 61, has been studying and practicing Muqam since he was 16, and now has become an inheritor of this popular folk art. Muqam, a traditional art of the Uygur ethnic group in Xinjiang, combines songs, dances, folk and classical music. According to Sulayman Abdu, it has been an age-long custom for local people to watch Muqam performance on occasions of celebration and gathering. (Xinhua/Zhao Ge)

Lhorong County, with an average elevation of about 3,700 meters, was once an important stop along the ancient Tea Horse Road and a significant channel for Tibetan-Han exchanges. Locals in Xobando Town injected elements of Tibetan folk dances into the Han lion dance introduced to the town in early years, and created a new performing art -- Xobando lion dance. Tengpa Anye, 69, who began to learn lion dance from his father at 13, is an inheritor of Xobando lion dance art.
