In Uyghur, the word for good is “yaxshi” (ياخشى‎) which is transliterated into Mandarin as 亚克西. The word “yaxshi” was used in a musical piece in the CCTV 2010 Spring Festival Gala entitled, “The Party's Policies are Yaxshi.” Netizens found the piece, which featured people adorned in traditional Uyghur dress dancing and praising the Communist Party, somewhat ironic in light of the violent anti-government riots less than a year earlier in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

A mythical creature derived from the Uyghur-language word yaxshi (ياخشى‎), meaning “good,” and transliterated into Chinese as yǎkèxī 亚克西 . The word rose to fame after the CCTV 2010 Spring Festival Gala segment “The Party’s Policies are Yaxshi,” in which dancers in traditional Uyghur dress praised the Communist Party, a great irony in light of the inter-ethnic riots in Xinjiang the summer before. Netizens then began using the word to mock the absurdity of the state propaganda and to to sardonically praise policies in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The yax lizard was dubbed by netizens as “the first mythical creature of 2010,” joining the grass-mud horse and the river crab in the pantheon of mythical creatures.

Note: The Uyghurs are a majority-Muslim Turkic people and the titular nationality of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
