A long time ago, a Uighur wandering artist met Peony Khan in baruch Mountain. They fell in love at first sight and fell in love. Peony Khan has a well-off family and is a local noble family. When Peony Khan's father found out that his daughter fell in love with a tramp, he went into a rage and locked Peony Khan up.

Mudan Khan didn't change his mind. On the way to secretly meet his sweetheart, his father, who was caught up with his horse, whipped him alive, and Mu Dan Khan was buried in the meeting place. Wandering artists rushed to the dating site, but they didn't expect their beautiful sweetheart to die for love. Facing the new grave, the wandering artist sang a touching song "You are the power of my life" in pain. This is the origin of the Xinjiang folk song Peony Khan.
