Sassanid China?

[Gilamard]

Very good question. Actually some people of Tajikistan speak Pamiri language and they live in the Eastern Part of Tajikistan. Pamiri languages are different from Persian language But, Tajiks of Tash-kurghan speak in Tajiki language and not Pamiri languages

Interesting, thanks for the explanations

 

[DRaisinHerald]

Yes, they are. Watch the video below:

Actually they speak the Tajiki variant of Persian language, which is a bit different from Farsi language in Iran and Dari of Afghanistan, but all of these 3 variants are mutually intelligible. They are no different from Tajiks of Tajikistan.

The song is in Dari/Farsi or something, but the song and the lady (ies) are Pakistani.
Zeb and Haniya is the duo's name.

The song is Tajiki, not Dari, and it is for the Tash(j)kurghan region inside the China. Probably She lives, or has a Pakistani nationality as well, but she is originally from that region. Actually, the Tajik inhabiting region in xinjiang is very close to Pakistani and Afghanistan border as well.
Here, I have circled the region (The valley) that they live:

Came across an interesting piece of information the other day regarding Pirooz II, a Sassanian prince who fled to China after the Muslim conquest of Persia.

Apparently there was a migration of Persians into China both before and after the arrival of the Arab armies, which settled there and in some cases Persians rose to prominent positions in the Chinese government. Can anyone shed light on Persian settlement and influence in China, or any information on Persian-Chinese relations?

This is true. The remnants of the Sassanid nobility fled eastwards to China after some of the Parthian nobility abandoned them and refused to resist against the Arab invaders. The Tang dynasty gave refuge to the Sassanids but in the last few decades of the Tang dynasty rule in China they banned all foreign religions in their empire, at which time Zoroastrians and Persians in China disappear from the historical record. Nobody knows what happened to them after this.

That happened in the late half of the Tang Dynasty, because a rebellious General of Persian/Turkic descent has caused the decline of the Tang Dynasty, that's why the late Tang Dynasty has became more socially conservative.

An Lushan is half Persian and half Turkic, but he practised the Zoroastrian, and he has nearly destroyed the Tang Dynasty.

I was not aware about this guy,
but the article says he was half Sogdian, not Persian. Sogdians are not Persians, but they were an Iranian people, and Persians are also an Iranian people.

@Aegis DDG I have a bit information about this topic, but I thought that it may be better for persians to participate in such a thread, and try to read and gain knowledge and post about it by themselves.
In summary, what you have said is true. There are even a few villages left in China who have some Iranian mixtures, and Chinese TV has made a good documentary about it as well.

Why the Chinese reality, always look silly to Indian friends? Why they said, "India is a strange country". This is also belong to the freedom of speech? ... But from the American and British friends often laugh at him. They are not a democracy?

That is true. Persian and Chinese had vast cultural and trade ties. Persian were the corridor for export of Chineese products like silk to then Roman Empire. I had red Romans were very curious to find out where exactly the silk is coming from and Persian were able to keep it as a trade secret.

There were exchange of musicians, military and diplomatic guests between the two nations the relation was the strongest During Sassanid and Han and Tang Dynasties.

And yes after the invasion of Arabs there were Iranian Royal refugees accepted by Chinese emperor.

Overall the relation between two nations today is a fraction of what it used to be. There is more about this here:
