Maigaiti County, a typical place where Uygurs gather, is located in the
southwest Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. About 89 per cent of the people in
Maigaiti County belong to the Daolang Uygur group, who are good at singing and
dancing and are famed for their Maixirepu performances.
Maixirepu is a Uygur word meaning 'joyful entertainment'. It is a kind of
activity with impromptu music and dances at festivals. The songs and dancing are
mainly about hunting, bumper harvest celebrations, and daily life. There are no
limits on the time, place, and number of players of doing Maixirepu.
