As a minority in northern my country, the Uyghurs have created many artistic and cultural treasures during the transition period from an ancient nation to a modern nation, which have irreplaceable historical and cultural value. Uyghur musical instruments are an important part of my country's traditional culture, and they are constantly innovating in the cultural exchange and development of the ancient Silk Road, promoting Uyghur music and cultural exchanges. But today, the inheritance and development of Uyghur musical instruments is not optimistic. Taking the Uyghur musical instrument Dutar as an example, combined with the characteristics and inheritance laws of ethnic minority musical instru-ments, this paper proposes that living inheritance is an important path for the protection, inheritance and innovative development of Uyghur musical instruments. The protection and development of traditional cultures of other ethnic groups are equally Instructive.
