The poem Khosrow and Shirin and the epic heritage of the Turkic peoples

Abstract

In the article, we have linked the achievements of the Turkic civilization during the Islamic culture and the trends of Eastern classical literature. Analyzing oriental love psalms from the point of view of their origin and formation, researcher A.Kyraubayeva proves that the genre of love poems originated in our ancient literature in the XIII-XIII centuries and developed in the second half of the XIX-first half of the XX century.  Despite the fact that among the oriental love psalms that became the main idea of the article, we received, first of all, Khosrow and Shirin, a number of works of that era were analyzed. After all, the deep depths of history that make up the epic heritage of the Turkic peoples are inextricably linked with everything.

The main part of the article shows that Oriental love psalms, as a genre in which their style and plot development have developed, are a large branch of verbal art that existed until the beginning of the twentieth century.

In the final part, we will summarize the results, relatively considering the similarities and foundations in the love poems of deep Kazakh history. The final part gives a clear definition of how close the connection between authenticity and folklore is, which has become the subject of world science research.
