Because of the different styles and characteristics of Senem in different regions, people are accustomed to wear place names in front of Senem to show their differences, such as Kashgar Senem and Ili Senem.
Kashgar, Kuche and Hotan are the famous hometown of Shule, Guizile and Yudanle respectively. Folk songs and dances in these places retain more of the old style characteristics. For example, Kuqa Sainem retained more basic vocabulary and rhythmic features of "snapping fingers", "making eyes", "shaking head", "crossing feet" in the Qiuzi dance of Han and Tang Dynasties, with a quick and agile pace and a rich variety of wrists and dancing postures.

Current situation of inheritance
It is said that Sainem originally meant "Beauty Buddha" and originated in the flourishing period of Buddhism. Now, the following folk song is still popular: "Where was the beautiful world in the first place?" Because of the appearance of the beautiful Buddha "Sainem", he used mud to make a statue and dedicate everything to the world. Buddhism did prevail in ancient Hami, especially among the Uighurs in Sui and Tang Dynasties. The form of Hami Saim's song and dance originating from Buddhism is well-founded in history. Now the basic form of Hami Senem is as follows: first, Hami Czech (commonly known as beard) plays sobbing sad music; the rhythm changes from slow, medium to fast, with some singing in the middle; drums sing in unison, ending with a lively, spectacular dance. Whenever people work hard, or miss friends, or in adversity, depression and sorrow, they will sing and jump to relieve depression and mental pain. When marrying, celebrating New Year's Day, or holding Messilev and other entertainment gatherings, singing a song of Saim, dancing and dancing can push the happy scene to its climax. In short, the cultural life of the Uygur people in Hami and Yiwu areas is very rich. Both the past and the present have added brilliance to the Uygur culture and Chinese culture and become important spiritual wealth. After the founding of New China, Hami Messilev was refined by professional literary and artistic workers and moved to the stage. In the 1970s, the regional cultural troupe performed "Summer Harvest Messilev" and "Wedding Messilev", which maintained the form and style of Messilev.
Inheritance Significance
Sainem is an indispensable part of Uygur people's daily life. When celebrating festivals, weddings and gatherings of relatives and friends, it is necessary to hold a Messilev party and jump Sainem. Every time, the village hosts a family and participates with the village's men, women and children. The main activities of the evening party are the dancing of Nam, with games such as bowls of flowers, wine cups, belts and so on. Sometimes, they also sing Mukam, guessing riddles and chanting poems.
For example, on the first day of a wedding, friends of both sexes usually invite the groom, bride and relatives and friends to celebrate at home. In the evening, the groom and his friends went to the bride's house to greet their relatives. All the way, the orchestra played together, singing and dancing. Throughout the day, the groom danced Saim. During the performance of Sainem, the band gathered in a circle to accompany, and the crowd clapped and sang. Dancers do not sing, accompanying singers to gently turn to listen to the songs, in addition to singing familiar songs, but also improvised new words with old tunes, describing the scene, to express everyone's joy.
