“长诗”(dastan)是察合台语时期传入维吾尔语的一个术语,它最初传入维吾尔语时的概念范畴可能与现在的不一样。维吾尔文学中的长诗十分丰富,千百年来创作的长诗可谓车载斗量。长诗是诗歌创作的最好体裁之一,是衡量一个民族诗歌发展水平的重要标准。“长诗”一词虽然由波斯语传入维吾尔语,但长诗作为维吾尔文学传统诗歌体裁之一的特点并没有弱化。 Dastan, a term passed into Uighur during the Chagato period, may not be the same concept as it was originally introduced into Uighur. The long poems in Uyghur literature are very rich. The long poem created for thousands of years can be described as a car-mounted volume. Long poem is one of the best genres in poetic writing and an important standard to measure the development level of a national poem. Although the term “poem” is introduced into Uyghur from Persian, the characteristics of long poems, as one of the traditional poetry genres of Uighur literature, are not weakened.
