Literature And Arts

Tajikistan's culture is distinguished by a long and persistent participation in literature and the arts, in addition to music and dancing. Samarkand and Bukhara have historically served as the literary hubs of Tajik culture. However, these cities are currently regarded as being inside the nation of Uzbekistan. The literature produced in Tajikistan during the Soviet era was impacted by what the occupying power permitted or forbade.

Historians have referred to the literature during this time period as socialist realism as a result. The pride in this nation's literary heritage and the pride in language preservation are intertwined today. Temur Zulfiqorov, who writes in Tajik and is credited with preserving the Persian literary tradition, is arguably one of this nation's best-known contemporary authors.

Wood carvings, weavings, and embroidery are just a few of the many ways that Tajikistani art is expressed (to mention a few). This country's artistic designs frequently use intricate features that can be seen in artwork from previous ages.
