I am Tajik from Afghanistan. I am so happy that our beloved Tajik brothers and sisters live so happily in toshqurghan, China. I am surprised they still maintain the wedding ceremonies just like the old ways. We do our weddings just like them here in Afghanistan too. We do our weddings exactly as she was explaining to you in the car. Great episode 👍 Looking forward to the next one… ❤
@@edith4360 yes and that’s why I said I am so happy for them. It is the utmost unfortunate situation in Afghanistan. The situation brought upon women is very very sad but hey what can you do when there is a group called Taliban in power? a group whose core views are oppression. It is unfortunate.

You used to visit new places and new people. Now you are living their lives, at least in part. What an interesting life you are having, Yan; and it's being rewarded by the hospitality and friendliness of the people whose life you are witnessing. It's like you are a friend to everyone, and belong to everywhere. You are China, the spirit of China.
The people of Tajik were so nice friendly, especially the boys were so sweet offering you their food, fruit 👍👌🏽🎊🎊🎊❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹💞💞💞💞💞. We need the people in the world like that🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
wow it is amazing. im so happy to see them. I am a Tajik from Afghanistan and exactly from the China border, Pamir of Afghanistan. love you my Tajik border and sisters.
This video made me smile! I am a Tajik from Afghanistan. It surprised me they follow Tajik culture and custom till this day living in China. The music rhythm is the same, the marriage ceremonies is the same, the people look the same. Long live for all Tajik out there! I would love to visit toshqurghan one day !!!
I did not know anything about the Tajik until my husband showed me this video today. Beautiful culture and customs! Best regards to you in Afghanistan from Seattle 🇺🇸! ❤
Amazing they speak the mandarin language! So many people do not see the harmony on this part of the world. True diversity, prosperity and harmony in humanity. Great eye opener.
All children of 56 ethnicities in China are educated in the common language, Putonghua or Mandarin and also learn their own indigenous language. Even the Han people from different region speak different dialects. One common language allows people from different region to communicate better and also government policies to be implemented faster and more effectively. This is one plus China has over India where former Singapore PM Lee Kuan Yew lamented as one of reasons why India couldn't develop as fast as China.
" True diversity, prosperity and harmony ..." 👍 Except in Europe and US where they think the Uyghurs, Tajiks, etc are living in poverty, in prison, in forced reeducation schools and facing genocides. In contrast, probably the people in Xinjiang, China think Europe and US live under a rock. 😂 This is mind blowing.
Wow, even in such remote location, the roads are clean and well maintained. People look content and seam to live well; and lady dress is very beautiful. Bravo, China.
Yan, you are simlply the best, no one is better than you to explore the richness of chinese cultures that not known to us before. Keep healthy and keep Happy.
❤❤❤ Wow. Im kinda surprised. This is amazing. Im tajik national from Tajikistan. I never knew that there's tajik community in China living happily and carrying our traditions. Everything in this wedding reminded me the weddings that happens here.❤❤❤ This was so amazing and cool to find out. Thank you for great video and love from Tajikistan.❤

@@littlechineseeverywhere they are in their land. It s china that have taken their land in the middle ages. In the middle ages other european nations were living in what you call now xin jiang and back then was tocharian land.

Asian nations (mongol/turk and chinese) invaded that land in the middle ages and made it asian. Further more Europeans are the only race worldwide who doesnt own it s original homeland in the caucasus because now it s owned by mongolturk kalmyks who came in the caucasus from mongolia in the middle ages......Europeans have lost so much land to asians and arabs and noone talks about it.

Really,simply the best,Yan!You do more to bring authentic China to us who may have no chance of visiting.Who knew,China is so spectacular and you are a fabulous ambassador!
This video has significant ethnographic documentary values. It shows very sensitively how these people create a bridge between Tajik traditions and new, international customs, which influence them through the Internet.
Different ethnic groups and different regions have dialects, for example, I speak Cantonese in Guangdong, many people in northern China can not understand haha, but we can all speak Mandarin
The women are just stunning. Classicly beautiful. These tiny small villages you take us to Yan are a lesson in what a community truly means, and that money doesn't equate happiness, and that it is the simple pleasures in life that bring joy and meaning to our lives. The simple act of bringing a traveler in and sharing tea, sharing food, sharing in their customs with a traveler, you can see the joy on their faces and feel the great pride they have in their community and their way of life. I think of the Mastercard commercial. The experiences you have had could not be purchased at any price as they are truly "priceless." 😊❤
Wow! That was some party. Every one seemed very polite and kind. Thank you for sharing the experience with us. Weddings are very similar all over the world, lots of music, dancing and food. The ladies were dressed up really nicely with lots of smiles.
Hi for all Tajik from China . From twenty two 22 millions Tajik living in Afghanistan . I am Tajik from Afghanistan . سلام برای تمامی تاجیک های چین . از طرف ۲۲ بیست و دو میلیون تاجیک های افغانستان خداوند تمامی تاجیک های چین را خوش و سلامت داشته باشد
Yan is the best narrating explorer on earth. She brings the world of China into our living room with such a loving smile. So educational and inspiring. Thank you, sister for all the joys of life you bring us!! : )
how rude of you to say that to our oversea ethnic Chinese brethren! he says he's born overseas plus life in our motherland was hard there's no shame in pursuing opportunities overseas as long as one doesn't betray the country @@elie1sh537
Your channel is the best. I am from Chicago and work long hours. Your videos help me escape and see/dream of other places. Beautiful country, China and other places you go. Amazing. I need to travel more!
@thomasSuper67 there is a big Pamiri community in Chicago BTW. The people that you see belong to Pamiri ethnic group scattered across China, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. They have a distinct languages, culture. These people preserved the old Eastern Iranian languages (group of Pamiri languages) thanks to loving in remote mountainous communities.
Who wouldn't want such an incredible videographer to their wedding with such a loving eye for beauty and sensitive to culture? Always a joy to watch your videos.
I'm from Hunza Valley of Pakistan and half of our family lives in Dafdar and Taxkurgan. It's always been peaceful wherever our people live, whether it be in Pakistan, Badakshan Tajikistan or Xinjiang China. We are proud to be a part of a peaceful religion (Ismaili Muslims) and an ancient culture.
Listen dude all Tajiks are not Ismaili, 99.99 % Tajiks are Muslims, some wakhi and Tajiks from Northern Pakistan and Afghanistan accepted ismailism in the 19th and 20th century for money Only, you should ask your parents and grandparents.
Таджики состоят из Индоиранских, Арийских народов, сохранили свою идентичность от 64%- 80%. Исповедуют 4 мировые религии, поэтому разделились, в 700 году . Именно Таджики являются Правящей Персидской династией . В 15 Сотрапиях , они занимали, все руководящие посты, начиная от правителя, визиря, министра, учёных. Таджик в переводе с фарси Венценосный.
Vou escrever em português porque meu inglês e incipiente mandarim não vão expressar o que quero. Parabéns pelos excelentes vídeos, especialmente os recentes mostrando a vida, cultura e costumes dos povos minoritários da China!! Estou encantada e emocionada de ver a beleza dos lugares e a paz que essas pessoas vivem, todos imersos em suas culturas e tradições, muito bem preservados. Obrigada pelos vídeos 中国❤
Thank you Yan for taking us along to this wedding (and all the other places you go that westerners like me would be unable to experience). It is so inspiring to see people everywhere living peacefully and with openness and friendliness. You yourself are an example of how to be open, curious and non judgmental. You work hard but the resulting videos are top quality. Thank you 🙏🏼☺️
Yan, thanks for sharing the festivities of a traditional Tajik lively crowded wedding during three days, everyone is welcome to part in the wedding and get accommodation. They sing the national anthem and happy birthday for a villager. The groom knocked the door for the bride, and after the ceremony the couple danced together with the crowd. After dinner the bride and groom left their parental home. Goat pulling was cancelled because a relative passed away in nearby village. Fans enjoy this special event in China's border city. God bless your hard work with good health and happiness.😊
Yan, these human interactions are so precious and I’m again in awe of the diversity in that part of the world. Still hard to believe this is our China.
I am from Davao city, Philippines. it's really interesting to learn cultures and practices of people especially in central Asia which we learn so little. thanks to you yan ..
I just love watching the true culture of this part of China, you did an amazing job highlighting the wedding and watching so many people participating in this special event.
@@下饭就行 They just don't understand our history. We started ethnic fusion process back in Han Dynasty(100 BC), 2100 years ago. The national harmony is the result of our development of history. They are ignorant because of the lack, missing or short of their history.
Maybe your grandparents were also Chinese, but they yearned for life in the Soviet Union and left China for the Soviet Union. This is recorded in historical materials (I found this by accident when watching the History Channel). But if we count from the Qing Dynasty, you were also Chinese.
@@omerosdaskalos7708 They're actually Pamiris but they just accept the ethnonym Tajik that China's govt has assigned to them. It started with them being called Mountain Tajik during Qing Dynasty & ROC, later shortened to just Tajik by PRC.
It's very ininteresting seeing these very diverse people all being able to speak mandarin, while also maintaining their own language and traditions. Nice to see.
Greeting to all Pamiri-Xik(Wakhi) and Pamiri-Sarikoli brothers and sisters of China. Fascinating to see how diverse China is. Thanks for amazing coverage.
The adults get along well together. The kids are having fun while behaving well. Everyone is so warm and welcoming. I can't imagine opening my doors to 2 strangers to sleep in my house, but they just do so without any thoughts. What a great community.
Greetings from Afghanistan to our neighbor, China. It is wonderful that the western part of China shares many similarities to ours. We have also Tajiks, Pamiris, and Kyrgyz in Badakhshan province and Wakhan corridor. I hope we make use of our 92 km border to expand cultural and economic ties 🇦🇫🤝🇨🇳
Hello Yan! Thank you for your vlogs, i very like society in China, going by his way, naturally, people are friedly to each other. But i am very afraid, that it will be damaged by western influence, consumentarism - it does not bring anything better for people, only superficial impression of "better life", but also simultaneously envy, distrust... I can see the same in my country. Thank you again!
Most of the Chinese have become wary of the influence of the West. I believe that under the guidance of CPC, China will adhere to the beautiful parts of its own tradition and will never be excessively influenced by some Western ideologies.
Excellent video, as usual. I don't know what is better in Yan's channel...the Drone footage, the authentic, interesting content, or the genuine interest Yan has in different people and cultures. Keep up the great work, Yan!
thanks.. I also just attended a wedding..haha...imagine so many 'people'from all over the world following you around while you are video taking haha! Following from macau. Good morning ..continue having fun, and keep safe..!
I'm from Tajikistan and it's so interesting to see our tajik brothers and sisters from different parts of the world. Thank you so much for this beautiful content.
Thanks for sharing this amazing wedding. It's great to see the happiness the Tajik people exude. Your videos show us that we have a beautiful world, with beautiful people.
Wow, that was really cool! People are so handsome & beautiful & welcoming, having much fun celebrating marriage with everyone! Yan, you seem very happy in this event. The good vibes are contagious. How funny & interesting to sing the same birthday song as we do in USA! So much different & yet the same as all people enjoying a festive time. Thank you for sharing this special event.
So proud for Tajik brothers,also Chinese.We are one big family and thanks for their safeguard China borders. Total best wishes for the bride and bridegroom.
Hello from Australia! Yan's videos take me many places, and I get to see other humans living and dealing with life's joys and sorrows in different ways to me, but with the same fears and hopes. I'm encouraged by the similarities I share with people all over the world. Here in Yan's youtube channel is the most hopeful I feel about the future.
@@achiburshakib5804in Afghanistan we have two official languages, Persian and Pashto, but Persian is our lingua Franca obviously due to our history and culture and the second biggest population, Tajiks, living there.
Thank you Yan for allowing us to be part of this event. Such a genuine group of people. Forgot to add - congratulations on 400,000 subscribers. Next stop half a million!!
Since over 2,000 years ago, Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China's first feudal empire, initiated the policy of script unification, as well as standardizing measurements and weights. In doing so, we have the tradition to maintain an excellent balance between cultural diversity and unity. This is why I have always believed that China's governance is one of the best in the world, especially given the wide array of different cultures. There is no concept of racial discrimination-everyone respects and appreciates each other.
I always feel like the title of "unseen China"is so good,its so beautiful and have a mystrious sense.As a Chinese person,the videos she made are actually renewing my views of the homeland i'been living,tks for all the effects u've put on the videos!
Hi Yan what a lovely video they seemed the kindest of people inviting total strangers to there wedding you show us the the other side of this large and diverse country of yours .All the best Alec.
I follow both you and Ah Shu, as I love your RUclips videos depicting the different cultures and peoples in China. Thanks for keeping this up and sharing about life in remote China.
A Shu's channelnis called Atlas Explore. Wish Yan could have explained this in this video and given credit to A Shu, because it looks like A Shu is the one who initially connected with the Tajiks having a wedding
Üdvözöllek Budapestről. Rendszeresen nézem az érdekes és gyönyörű videókat, de ennek nincs magyar felirata, pedig nagyon szeretném érteni.😊❤ Kerlek, mindig jelöld be a magyar feliratot, mert sajnos en nem tudok angolul, deszeretem nezni, amit csinalsz, mert nagyon jó 😊❤
This is fantastic. To see an wedding in an foreign culture, so far away from my place (Northern Norway) with some similarities to my own culture (The Sámi culture). It's mind blowing. Edited: Spelling
About to say the same thing.. The place in the video is so far away from my homeland in western part of Java Island (the Sunda culture, Indonesia, South East Asia) but still I see some similarities from this wedding, like the candy throwing.. How fascinating..
There is a minority ethnic group in China called the Ewenki. They used to live in the forest and made a living by hunting and raising reindeer. They are the only ethnic group in China that raises reindeer. Now they have a population of more than 30,000. They live in the border area between Northeast China and Russia and believe in shamanism. Their appearance and clothing are similar to those of the Sami people in Finland.
What a fantastic video!! Feels so good .... good people, good music and gorgeous women in their beautiful dresses .... And kids are so kid-like .... a rarity these days .... wholesome experience .... Thanks a lot for sharing .... Love from India.
Aren’t the women and children so gorgeous! Thankyou for sharing this culture in learning new things with every video thankyou 😊 My husband is from Kurdistan and he knew about the Tajik but I have never how lovely this was
Loving every bit of your journey and the people you meet with your love and openness....its a great way for all the bloggers to stop and get to know the locals in your adventures.
These people are so beautiful and their clothing for this wedding is out of sight so fantastic - very beautiful and they seem very friendly too! I would have loved to be there to witness and enjoy that beautiful wedding
Yan you beauty 👌🏼 With every travel that you pursue, you just do not create an amazing story but show us how peacefully humans reside in their zones. This has been such an awesome episode where the entire tajiks enjoy the wedding & all are warmly welcomed. No war crimes, no family fueds, no enemies just pure love, compassion and respect ❤
I am wakhi tajik from Pakistan side gojal valley .tashkurgan is 5 hour driver from my village. I am happy my traditional culture is still alive and we practices all here same like yak boil meat with rice
I have seen some videos of wakhi wedding. I loved it. But I noticed it was different from other tajik wedding as it has alot of indo islamic UP muslim influenced dressing. Like wearing achkan,salwar kamiz, etc. maybe sharara?? How do you feel about loosing culture? Or do you see it as loosing culture or just positive influence?
@@ayazahmed9489 As Muslims we take special care of our dress and the videos or pictures we see in weddings in our village or area from about 30 to 40 years ago are so much in their cultural dresses and hospitality. We, the enlightened people, should pass on our language and our culture to our future generations
Beautiful video! Thank you! It's the first time I hear a Chinese person calling peoples of other races and mixed races, and cultures as Chinese. That is, Chinese as a nation and not as a race. I'd say welcome to the reality of the rest of the world: we are who we are (mixed), where we are and we don't identify ourselves as a race! Thank you again!
About one hundred years ago in Republic China era, there was a slogan: China is Five Races Under One Union, meaning 5 major ethnics ppl harmoniously existed under one nation. Since PRC (1949), there is new slogan: Fifty-six Races, Fifty-six flowers.
Thank you for your wonderful story-telling. You take us to places we will never be able to go to, show us things we will never be able to see for ourselves, and introduce us to people we can never meet in person. It is amazing the way you draw others into your videos and draw us into communities and families as you travel. It is a true talent. Thank you.

Ya Ali Madad. Wasn't expecting to see another Ismaili here, 😅 I have some friends from Hunza and I hope to visit Hunza, Gilgit areas some day.
Listen dude all Tajiks are not Ismaili, 99.99 % Tajiks are Muslims, some wakhi and Tajiks from Northern Pakistan and Afghanistan accepted ismailism in the 19th and 20th century for money Only, you should ask your parents and grandparents.
Salute you all for your sense of social harmony.
Ismaili is Qurani, right?
Wow, those Tajiks are some good looking people, blimey.
Таджики состоят из Индоиранских, Арийских народов, сохранили свою идентичность от 64%- 80%. Исповедуют 4 мировые религии, поэтому разделились, в 700 году . Именно Таджики являются Правящей Персидской династией . В 15 Сотрапиях , они занимали, все руководящие посты, начиная от правителя, визиря, министра, учёных. Таджик в переводе с фарси Венценосный.
The young generation in western China are very good looking
Yes, most look VERY western or mid-eastern. A few have hints of intermixing from farther east .

Vou escrever em português porque meu inglês e incipiente mandarim não vão expressar o que quero. Parabéns pelos excelentes vídeos, especialmente os recentes mostrando a vida, cultura e costumes dos povos minoritários da China!! Estou encantada e emocionada de ver a beleza dos lugares e a paz que essas pessoas vivem, todos imersos em suas culturas e tradições, muito bem preservados. Obrigada pelos vídeos 中国❤
小朋友们太可爱啦，我们新疆人真的很好客，感谢博主让全世界认识咱们中国新疆❤❤❤
You are doing a good job as the ambassador of peaceful coexistence! Thanks!
Thank you 🥰
Thank you Yan for taking us along to this wedding (and all the other places you go that westerners like me would be unable to experience). It is so inspiring to see people everywhere living peacefully and with openness and friendliness. You yourself are an example of how to be open, curious and non judgmental. You work hard but the resulting videos are top quality. Thank you 🙏🏼☺️
谁说西方人无法体验了啊，我去新疆玩的时候有很多外国人啊，中国只有军事保密地区不允许西方人进入吧，其他地方随便你们玩，随便你们拍照
What a beautiful culture and people. I felt like I was watching National Geographic documentary, good job. You deserve millions of subscribers
Valeu!
Thank you 🥰
Yan, thanks for sharing the festivities of a traditional Tajik lively crowded wedding during three days, everyone is welcome to part in the wedding and get accommodation. They sing the national anthem and happy birthday for a villager. The groom knocked the door for the bride, and after the ceremony the couple danced together with the crowd. After dinner the bride and groom left their parental home. Goat pulling was cancelled because a relative passed away in nearby village. Fans enjoy this special event in China's border city. God bless your hard work with good health and happiness.😊
Another great post! Never thought this also is China. If only all over the world could be as peaceful and happy as here. Thank you for sharing.
新疆生活是世界幸福的典範
Yan, these human interactions are so precious and I’m again in awe of the diversity in that part of the world. Still hard to believe this is our China.
I have never seen a group of people made of so many races and to top it all they live in China. Thanks Yan looks like you had fun at the wedding
The young man, A Shu 阿树, is another great RUclipsr, documenting unknown China. I cannot believe the two met here.
A Shu has a RUclips channel as well. I think it's called Atlas Explorer
@@mechannel7046 , it's actualy Atlas Explore. Thank you for mentioning the name, I found him and subscribed
Thank you for mentioning this!
@@Alexander_Sergeyev OK. Thanks for the correction
Atlas explore another authentic channel highlighting unknown China. Love it & really enjoy A Shu's energy. Thank you 4 mentioning ✅️ subscribed 😊
I am from Davao city, Philippines. it's really interesting to learn cultures and practices of people especially in central Asia which we learn so little. thanks to you yan ..
So beautiful! Everything was amazing. Thanks for expanding my understanding of the world.
I just saw his video of this same wedding, in the middle of the video all the children lined up singing national anthem. Deeply touched.
孩子列隊唱國歌非常感動
I just love watching the true culture of this part of China, you did an amazing job highlighting the wedding and watching so many people participating in this special event.
I am a Tajik from Kyrgyzstan, I am very happy to see my Tajik brothers and sisters, Happiness to the young. World peace!!! 🇰🇬🇹🇯
they are Chinese.
@@josephguo6256no they are tajik stop spreading your han chinese propaganda
@@aalytoks9755这些塔吉克人的国籍是中国，所以打上中国的国旗更合适，你才是过度敏感的那个人
@@下饭就行 They just don't understand our history. We started ethnic fusion process back in Han Dynasty(100 BC), 2100 years ago. The national harmony is the result of our development of history. They are ignorant because of the lack, missing or short of their history.
Maybe your grandparents were also Chinese, but they yearned for life in the Soviet Union and left China for the Soviet Union. This is recorded in historical materials (I found this by accident when watching the History Channel). But if we count from the Qing Dynasty, you were also Chinese.
Wow this is sooo cool. They look like a variety of Causcus people. This world is sooo beautiful.
they are typical Aryans, though this word is blemished since the 3rd reich.
@@RandomChinaДа они сохранили свою идентичность арийского народа от 64%-80%. Не смешивались до прихода других религий.
Yes they're Tajiks, of Persian /Iranian origins
@@omerosdaskalos7708 They're actually Pamiris but they just accept the ethnonym Tajik that China's govt has assigned to them. It started with them being called Mountain Tajik during Qing Dynasty & ROC, later shortened to just Tajik by PRC.
They really don't look like people from the Caucasus. They look Afghan if anything with some small East Asian admixture in some.
It's very ininteresting seeing these very diverse people all being able to speak mandarin, while also maintaining their own language and traditions. Nice to see.
Greeting to all Pamiri-Xik(Wakhi) and Pamiri-Sarikoli brothers and sisters of China. Fascinating to see how diverse China is.
Thanks for amazing coverage.
Thank you for your kind words 😊
The adults get along well together. The kids are having fun while behaving well. Everyone is so warm and welcoming. I can't imagine opening my doors to 2 strangers to sleep in my house, but they just do so without any thoughts. What a great community.
One of your best Yan, you showed us the very soul of the Tajik people ❤
Greetings from Tajikistan 🇹🇯
Greetings from Afghanistan to our neighbor, China. It is wonderful that the western part of China shares many similarities to ours. We have also Tajiks, Pamiris, and Kyrgyz in Badakhshan province and Wakhan corridor. I hope we make use of our 92 km border to expand cultural and economic ties 🇦🇫🤝🇨🇳

Peace and love ❤

Hello Yan! Thank you for your vlogs, i very like society in China, going by his way, naturally, people are friedly to each other. But i am very afraid, that it will be damaged by western influence, consumentarism - it does not bring anything better for people, only superficial impression of "better life", but also simultaneously envy, distrust... I can see the same in my country. Thank you again!
Welcome to China. Visa free now
Thank you 🥰
Most of the Chinese have become wary of the influence of the West. I believe that under the guidance of CPC, China will adhere to the beautiful parts of its own tradition and will never be excessively influenced by some Western ideologies.
No worries, we will not be influenced by anyone; our culture has been surviving for 5000 years , it’s in the blood
Excellent video, as usual. I don't know what is better in Yan's channel...the Drone footage, the authentic, interesting content, or the genuine interest Yan has in different people and cultures. Keep up the great work, Yan!
thanks.. I also just attended a wedding..haha...imagine so many 'people'from all over the world following you around while you are video taking haha! Following from macau. Good morning ..continue having fun, and keep safe..!
Than you Yan .It's been a pleasure ' been invited to a Tajik wedding ' 😂😂❤❤ God Bless the Couple Happily married life .🎉🎉🎉😂😂
I'm from Tajikistan and it's so interesting to see our tajik brothers and sisters from different parts of the world. Thank you so much for this beautiful content.
I’m Tajik from Tajikistan and I love all Tajiks I mean all persians around the world asalomu alaykum to all Tajiks
This might be your best video.
Well done, and thank you.
I really love the way you portray the PRC in its true light, bringing together such a great diversity of people in the most amiable way. 🙏
Thanks for sharing this amazing wedding. It's great to see the happiness the Tajik people exude. Your videos show us that we have a beautiful world, with beautiful people.
Wow, that was really cool! People are so handsome & beautiful & welcoming, having much fun celebrating marriage with everyone! Yan, you seem very happy in this event. The good vibes are contagious. How funny & interesting to sing the same birthday song as we do in USA! So much different & yet the same as all people enjoying a festive time. Thank you for sharing this special event.
So proud for Tajik brothers,also Chinese.We are one big family and thanks for their safeguard China borders. Total best wishes for the bride and bridegroom.
谢谢！
谢谢 🥰
@@littlechineseeverywhere love you.😊
Watching from Afghanistan, I really enjoyed it and impressed by the similarities we share with Tajiks 😊
Which language do you speak?
@@achiburshakib5804Afganistan language generally uses Pashtun (East Iran). Persian = West Iranian language, Pasthun = East Iranian language
Tajiks are Persians, but there are many dialects, such as the ones in this video. I don' t think most Tajiks can understand Sarikoli or Wakhani.
Hello from Australia! Yan's videos take me many places, and I get to see other humans living and dealing with life's joys and sorrows in different ways to me, but with the same fears and hopes. I'm encouraged by the similarities I share with people all over the world. Here in Yan's youtube channel is the most hopeful I feel about the future.
@@achiburshakib5804in Afghanistan we have two official languages, Persian and Pashto, but Persian is our lingua Franca obviously due to our history and culture and the second biggest population, Tajiks, living there.
Thank you Yan for allowing us to be part of this event. Such a genuine group of people.
Forgot to add - congratulations on 400,000 subscribers. Next stop half a million!!
Terimakasih bisa ikut Yan cie cie melihat dunia budaya dan orang orang baru dan anak anak yg manis Budi,moga selalu sehat dan sukses selalu.
It is good that China has common mandarin language to unite all different ethnic groups. A very good video
Nailed it.
Since over 2,000 years ago, Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China's first feudal empire, initiated the policy of script unification, as well as standardizing measurements and weights. In doing so, we have the tradition to maintain an excellent balance between cultural diversity and unity. This is why I have always believed that China's governance is one of the best in the world, especially given the wide array of different cultures. There is no concept of racial discrimination-everyone respects and appreciates each other.
for everyone to speak english would be much better
I'm super excited to visit China
I always feel like the title of "unseen China"is so good,its so beautiful and have a mystrious sense.As a Chinese person,the videos she made are actually renewing my views of the homeland i'been living,tks for all the effects u've put on the videos!
Hi Yan what a lovely video they seemed the kindest of people inviting total strangers to there wedding you show us the the other side of this large and diverse country of yours .All the best Alec.
Köszönjük!
Thank you 🥰
So many different cultures and I say that all of them are really beautiful. I'm loving the color's of the bride and groom, really beautiful 😊😊👑💙👑🩷❤❤❤
I follow both you and Ah Shu, as I love your RUclips videos depicting the different cultures and peoples in China. Thanks for keeping this up and sharing about life in remote China.
A Shu's channelnis called Atlas Explore. Wish Yan could have explained this in this video and given credit to A Shu, because it looks like A Shu is the one who initially connected with the Tajiks having a wedding
Üdvözöllek Budapestről. Rendszeresen nézem az érdekes és gyönyörű videókat, de ennek nincs magyar felirata, pedig nagyon szeretném érteni.😊❤ Kerlek, mindig jelöld be a magyar feliratot, mert sajnos en nem tudok angolul, deszeretem nezni, amit csinalsz, mert nagyon jó 😊❤
或许你可以试着学一下汉语。Maybe you can try to learn some Mandarin.🙂
This is fantastic. To see an wedding in an foreign culture, so far away from my place (Northern Norway) with some similarities to my own culture (The Sámi culture). It's mind blowing.
Edited: Spelling
About to say the same thing.. The place in the video is so far away from my homeland in western part of Java Island (the Sunda culture, Indonesia, South East Asia) but still I see some similarities from this wedding, like the candy throwing.. How fascinating..
There is a minority ethnic group in China called the Ewenki. They used to live in the forest and made a living by hunting and raising reindeer. They are the only ethnic group in China that raises reindeer. Now they have a population of more than 30,000. They live in the border area between Northeast China and Russia and believe in shamanism. Their appearance and clothing are similar to those of the Sami people in Finland.
Yan , thank you for providing all of us a glance of such a beautiful and warm customs of the Tajik culture.
You are going to all the very exotic places in China and you always seem to fit right in. It is so interesting to watch.
What a fantastic video!! Feels so good .... good people, good music and gorgeous women in their beautiful dresses .... And kids are so kid-like .... a rarity these days .... wholesome experience .... Thanks a lot for sharing .... Love from India.
Beautiful place with super friendly people. I enjoyed watching this
So interesting this video! Greetings from Austria 🐶🙋♀️
Aren’t the women and children so gorgeous! Thankyou for sharing this culture in learning new things with every video thankyou 😊
My husband is from Kurdistan and he knew about the Tajik but I have never how lovely this was
Apparently this little known and minor Tajik group is different from the more well-known Tajiks in neighbouring Tajikistan.😂
Loving every bit of your journey and the people you meet with your love and openness....its a great way for all the bloggers to stop and get to know the locals in your adventures.
These people are so beautiful and their clothing for this wedding is out of sight so fantastic - very beautiful and they seem very friendly too! I would have loved to be there to witness and enjoy that beautiful wedding
Yan you beauty 👌🏼
With every travel that you pursue, you just do not create an amazing story but show us how peacefully humans reside in their zones.
This has been such an awesome episode where the entire tajiks enjoy the wedding & all are warmly welcomed.
No war crimes, no family fueds, no enemies just pure love, compassion and respect ❤
I am wakhi tajik from Pakistan side gojal valley .tashkurgan is 5 hour driver from my village. I am happy my traditional culture is still alive and we practices all here same like yak boil meat with rice
I have seen some videos of wakhi wedding. I loved it. But I noticed it was different from other tajik wedding as it has alot of indo islamic UP muslim influenced dressing. Like wearing achkan,salwar kamiz, etc. maybe sharara?? How do you feel about loosing culture? Or do you see it as loosing culture or just positive influence?
@@ayazahmed9489 As Muslims we take special care of our dress and the videos or pictures we see in weddings in our village or area from about 30 to 40 years ago are so much in their cultural dresses and hospitality. We, the enlightened people, should pass on our language and our culture to our future generations
What a wonderful experience 😊
Thanks
Thank you 🥰
Beautiful video! Thank you! It's the first time I hear a Chinese person calling peoples of other races and mixed races, and cultures as Chinese. That is, Chinese as a nation and not as a race. I'd say welcome to the reality of the rest of the world: we are who we are (mixed), where we are and we don't identify ourselves as a race! Thank you again!
About one hundred years ago in Republic China era, there was a slogan: China is Five Races Under One Union, meaning 5 major ethnics ppl harmoniously existed under one nation. Since PRC (1949), there is new slogan: Fifty-six Races, Fifty-six flowers.
definitely Chinese is not an ethnic name, the majority ethnic in China is han people, we are han ethnic, not Chinese ethnic. 汉=漢
That‘s true！
There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and I am also an ethnic minority.

I've watched several of your videos. This has been the most wonderful by far. Such a warm intimate view of these people 🙂 😍
It’s nice surprise to see Bakhchibi again. He is very friendly and outgoing. Thanks for sharing Tajik wedding. It’s a beautiful event.
Thank you for your wonderful story-telling. You take us to places we will never be able to go to, show us things we will never be able to see for ourselves, and introduce us to people we can never meet in person. It is amazing the way you draw others into your videos and draw us into communities and families as you travel. It is a true talent. Thank you.
