Imagine these modern super-markets and then houses with sheep tied to their fences etc. next door! Hope they don’t let go of their traditions and then end up with drab supermarkets and parking lots only, the “brave boys” never even having seen a live sheep.

As one of the han nationalities in xinjiang, I went through Qurban many times which brings us extra three-day-off.Quban is the headiest feast of Uyghur and it is the dynamic of the approaching winter for resisting the coldness.Traditional foods,drinks and customs fulfilled Uyghur and bring them happiness. These talented singers and dancers celebrate the grand festival surrounded by happy laughters and cheerful voices so that they will keep smile on their faces for several day even a whole winter.

The festival is one of the most headiest spiritual feasts to people,especially when the festival has some thing to do with the religion.

In the Qurban Heyt,people in Xinjiang fulfilled their article of creed in the form of regaling on varieties of food and drinks in abundance,enjoying the bliss accompanied by the families and friends. In this respect,the Qurban provides a warm way of strengthening the cohesion of Uyghurs,as well as being a cultural symbol of Muslim’s great civilizational fortune.

It’s praisable that during the Qurban,the believer donated about one-third of the sheep’s meat to the poor.The modern religion has developed into a sweet pattern in which believers agree that simply revering the gods is not that only matters,the humanistic solicitude is also significant and reasonable.
