Abstract

The emergence of the culture and customs of the peoples of Uzbekistan is closely connected with the Great Silk Road, which began at the end of the 2nd century BC. The term "Silk Road" was introduced by the German scientist Ferdinand Richtofen in his classic work "China" in 1877 year and is installed among scientists. This is absolutely justified, because, as noted by another German scientist Albert Herrmann, exactly silk was the most important commodity, and at the end of the 2nd century BC in the West and East, two different worlds were known to each other. The same geographical location of Uzbekistan in the middle of the Silk Road led to the most important ethnic processes in the country, for example, the migration of peoples from the Middle East, such as Dravidian, Indo-Europeans and Indo-Iranians. There was a symbiosis of ancient Eastern, Eastern and western Iran, Indian, Turkish and Chinese cultures. As a result of this, specific forms of cultural and social life appeared for people in the region. In this article, opinions and comments are made about the peculiarities of Uzbek Customs and comparison with Russian and English culture.
