historical origin
"Dastan" is a form of folk art with a long history in Xinjiang Uygur. "Dastan" is Uygur, meaning "narrative poem". Dastan, as a kind of music, is characterized by rap and singing long rhyme stories. Narrative Long Poetry has become a form of rap and singing performance because Uygur people borrow the tune selection from the large-scale music suite of their own nation and the ancient Mukam to sing and perform.
Legend has it that as early as the 3rd to 7th centuries A. D., Uygurs living in Xinjiang, China, had a Dastan program called "Ali Fu El Duer'a", which showed the heroic deeds of the national hero El Duer'a. From then on, the performance of heroes became a tradition of Dastan's rap and singing.

Current situation of inheritance
According to the first National Report on the Protection and Development of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage (2011) issued by the China Research Center for intangible cultural heritage in Beijing, there are embarrassments in the protection of Chinese folk literature, such as the aging of representative inheritors, the lack of identification criteria for directories at all levels, the difficulty of joint declaration and the difficulty of intellectual property protection. The average age of inheritance of "non-legacy" is over 70 years old.
Especially, the two major problems are the aging of inheritors and the lack of identification criteria for directories at all levels. At present, the oldest representative successor of the national intangible cultural heritage project is Shah Maimaiti of the Uygur Dastan project, who is 101 years old.
