Аннотация

The ideas about Nowruz are closely related to the most ancient beliefs of the Turkic peoples. We can find several legends and stories about Navruz in folk folklore. Later, the term Navruz gradually influenced written literature. This article discusses the system of images in the epicpoem "Flower and Navruz" and thedescription ofconcepts related to Navruz. Keywords:written literature, epic, nature, symbol, fairy tale genre, loverand mistress, dream motif. Introduction. The introduction and glorification of Navruz and related concepts in Uzbek literature is associated with Heydar Khorezm's work "Gul and Navruz". The poem "Gul and Navruz", which is considered one of the rare examples of Uzbek classical literature, has been studied to this day as belonging to the pen of Mawlana Lutfi. However, in Ahmad Tarazi's work "Funun ul-baloga" there is information that this poem belongs to Heydar Khorezm. Also, according to the information in Alisher Navoi's work "Majolis un-nafois", in 1411, Heydar Khorezm wrote the poem "Gul and Navruz" by decree of Sultan Iskandar. The poem "Gul and Navruz" is one of the rare examples of the 15th century. Navruz is an ancient and traditional holiday of the peoples of Central Asia, which served thecause ofgoodness. Among the first works dedicated to Nowruzin Persian-Tajik literature, one can cite Omar Khayyam's "Nowruznama". According to Iranian literary scholar Malikushshuaro Bahram, no one in Persian-Tajik literature before Omar Khayyam had written a work dedicated to Nowruz. "Nowruznama" is ascientific and artisticwork. The main part. The epic poem “Gul and Navruz” consists of several plots and is considered a literary work. The epic is about love, and the images in it are symbolic. Navruz in the epic is a symbol of spring, and Gul is a symbol of nature. The prologue of the work begins with the desire of Shah Farrukh, the kingof Navshod, tohave achild. In theworld ofdarkness, fairand famous, Cheriki benihoya, property manager But: Idream ofa son inthe world, There is nothingwrong withbeing achild. From these verses, it can be seen that Khorezmii, referring to folk folklore, closely connects his epic with the fairy tale genre. That is, usually the beginning of fairy tales begins in the same order: “Once upon a time, in a distant land, there was a beautiful country. He was the king of the land, and his wealth was incalculable. But the king was childless and prayed for a child day and night.” We also find such an opening in folk folklore in the epic “Alpomish”, where the beginning of the epic tells the story of the longing of Boybori and Boysar. By the grace of God, King Farrukh is blessed with a child, and this child is born on the day of “New Year, that is, Navruz”. On this occasion, the king names his son Navruz and gives a wedding and a feast to the people. This plot is 209 INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL FOR RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT SJIF2019:5.2222020:5.5522021:5.6372022:5.4792023:6.5632024:7,805 eISSN:2394-6334 https://www.ijmrd.in/index.php/imjrd Volume12,issue03(2025) also similar to the plot of oral folk epics. For example, after having a child, Boybori and Boysari give a wedding to the people, and in written literature, we can cite images related to the birth of Farhodin AlisherNavoi's epic"Farhod and Shirin". Also, the plot of Prince Navruz's acquisition of a mysterious profession is reminiscent of the above epics. In the oral and written literature of the peoples of the East, there is usually a case of a lover seeing his soulmate in a dream or in a mirror. In the epic "Gul and Navruz", Prince Navruz falls in loveafter seeing his reflection inamirror. Heis theking, whether he drinks ornot, Suddenlyhe sawhis reflection in themirror. Suddenly, he was surprised byhis appearance, Let theseven-leafed cypress tree be planted. Nowruz, who has fallen asleep under the influence of the call, sees Gul, the daughter of Farkhor, the king of Mushkin, ina dream and falls in love with her. These images are reminiscent of epics such as Farkhod and Shirin, where Farkhod falls in love after seeing Shirin in the mirror, Zulaykha sees Yusuf in a dream in Yusuf and Zulaykha, or Ravshan sees Zulhumor in a ring and falls in lovewith herin theepic "Ravshankhan". In the epic, after seeing Nowruz Gul in a dream, he falls deeply in love with her and has her interpret his dream. If Vale sits early and stays uplate, If only this sorrow-free moment would last Theworld isfull ofstrangers, Heasks, confused about themeaning of thisdream. The motif of dreams and their interpretation are very common in folk tales. Also, certain categories of people were approached to interpret dreams, that is, even the right person was not considered capable of interpreting dreams. Every element, every word in a dream was considered important.
