Entertainment Projects in Xinjiang
新疆各民族都喜爱赛马，其竞赛技艺之高超，令人叹为观止。在元、明、清史料中，多处记载赛马和兵役制度相结合，成为当时国家的一项制度。那时的赛马运动还是王族、显贵们的重要娱乐项目之一，一般都在节庆之日举行。近年来，赛马又增添了许多新项目：障碍赛马、越野赛马、马球、马上射击、盛装舞步赛以及马车驾驭赛等，十分惊险精彩。
All ethnic groups in Xinjiang love and are amazingly skillful in horse racing. Historical records of Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties have shown that horse racing was connected with national military service and was one of the important forms of entertainment for imperial families and high officials to be held during festivities. In recent years, new horse racing events have been developed, such as steeplechase horse racing, cross-country racing, polo, mounted shooting, dressage and carriage driving, etc.

叼羊是新疆各兄弟民族普遍喜爱的传统体育活动，一般都在节庆或表演时进行，有分队和不分队两种方式。主持人把一只割去头的羊放在指定处，发令后，甲乙两队共同向羊飞驰而去，先抢到羊的同队队员互相掩护，极力向终点奔驰，双方骑手们施展各种技巧，围追堵截，拼命抢夺。叼着羊先到达终点的为胜方。获胜者按照习俗，将羊当场烤熟，请众骑手共享，称为“幸福肉”。
Buzkashi, or goat grabbing, is a popular traditional sport in Xinjiang usually held as a part of festivities or performances. Players can be divided into different teams or not. The host puts a headless goat carcass at a designated place. Players gallop on horseback to grab the goat carcass and head toward the finishing point using different tactics to ensure that they are the first to arrive. According to the custom, the winner roasts the goat and asks all players to share it on the spot as a way to gain happiness and good fortune.

新疆阿合奇县苏木塔什乡，素有“猎鹰之乡”之美誉。生活在这里的柯尔克孜族几乎家家养鹰驯鹰，以猎鹰狩猎。每年冬季，该乡云集数百只猎鹰举行长达数日的猎鹰捕猎比赛，“猎鹰文化节”吸引着众多游客。在新疆另一个酷爱鹰的民族是草原上的哈萨克族，每当冬季出猎，剽悍的哈萨克猎手身跨天山骏马手托凶猛的猎鹰，在猎犬的前呼后拥下，放马奔驰于山林草上行猎。
Somtax Township of Akqi County is known as the “Land of Falcons”. Almost all local Kirgiz families raise and train falcons for hunting. Every winter, hundreds of falcons are gathered in the village to join a falcon hunting competition for several days, now known as the Falcon Cultural Festival that has attracted many tourists. Kazakh people living on the grassland in Xinjiang also love falcons. The fierce Kazakh hunters go winter hunting on horseback with falcons and hounds in the mountains, forests and on grasslands.

新疆作为多民族交流融合之地，不同民族所处的地理条件和生态环境不同，积累成为独特的少数民族舞蹈文化。以维吾尔族“赛乃姆”、乌兹别克族“乌帕尔”等为代表的绿洲舞蹈文化，以哈萨克族“黑走马”、蒙古族“萨吾尔登”和柯尔克孜族舞蹈为代表的草原舞蹈文化，以塔吉克族“鹰舞”等为代表的高原舞蹈文化无不反映着他们的生活观、自然观和文化观。
Xinjiang is a place where multiple ethnic groups converge and integrate. Different geographical conditions and ecological environment of different ethnic groups have generated a unique minority dance culture. Oasis dance culture represented by Uygur Sanam Dance and Uzbek dance, grassland dance culture represented by Kazakh Kara Jorga Dance, Mongolian Sauurdin Dance and Kirgiz dance and plateau dance culture represented by Tajik Eagle Dance all reflect their outlook on life, nature and culture.
