The eastern foot of the Pamir Plateau, Kashgar Prefecture, traditional clothing and daily wear of Tajik people in China. (cr 歌莱诠，刘星球，CCCCEE是个秀导，FoodWine 中文版)

The Tajik people in China identify themselves as Plateau Tajiks. Some mistakenly believe their fondness for red is influenced by Central Plains culture (such as weddings and the Spring Festival), since Tajiks residing in Afghanistan and Tajikistan have no similar cultural tradition of this kind. Yet culture and languages of Plateau Tajiks differ greatly from the Tajik people from plain region in Afghanistan and Tajikistan. In fact, the Plateau Tajiks culture and the Central Plains culture developed a preference for red independently. The Tajik people's affection for red stems from their indigenous aesthetic tradition, originating from the ancient Eastern Iranian worship of sacred fire and the sun on the plateau. Many Tajiks are fluent multilingual speakers. Their native languages are Sarikoli and Wakhi (these two are mutually unintelligible). Besides, they can also speak Uyghur and Putonghua, so they have no trouble communicating with others at all.
