As the story goes, the centuries-old Maixirepu evolved from the 'banquet musical dances' of the Western Regions and was greatly influenced by Islamic culture. It is also believed that the Maixirepu originated from the impromptu singing and dancing when the Uygur ancestors were engaged in fishing, hunting and farming in ancient times.

During the long process of social development in the Daolang areas, various scenes and stories of daily life have been enriching the contents of Maixirepu, forming the unique Daolang culture. Daolang Maixirepu, a most unique form of Maixirepu art in Uygur, is popular mainly in areas from the Ye'erqiang River to the Tarim River, northwest of the Tarim Basin, with Maigaiti County at the center.

Generally, Daolang Maixirepu is divided into four categories according to its functions: rituals of festivals and celebrations as well as life rituals, farming and animal husbandry, social activities, and other folk custom activities.

The activity is presided over by an elder, interluded with poem composition, riddles and jokes. When the music begins, people invite each other to dance. The host often provides food. Young people perform the 'goat dance' or the 'goose dance' to liven up the atmosphere.

In the 'goat dance,' the young performers use simple goat-like stage props. The performers act like goats and arrive quietly behind the audience. Then they jump onto the dancing field, pretend to eat grass, drink water, rub horns and gore people, which always draw laughter from the crowd.

In the 'goose dance' performers wear their leather clothing inside out, put their right hands into their sleeves and wrap them with red cloth. Like a goose, they walk falteringly onto the dancing field. The audience then sings commending or derogatory songs. When the goose is praised, he dances happily; when he is degraded, he pecks the singer. The dance is funny and lively. During the activity, the young people learn about the folk customs, rituals and dances.

Daolang Maixirepu still preserves the primitive flavor of the Tarim aboriginal song and dance performances, and is a valuable encyclopedia valuable for the research of the history, social life and folk customs of the Daolang Uygurs.
