    Master's thesis in the field of Persian language and literature

    Abstract:

    Gorshasbnameh by Asadi Toosi ranks second among Iranian epic works after Ferdowsi's Shahnameh. This work, which is about the life and bravery of Garhasab, took place in a vast geography that includes all the big countries of those days. The description of the wonders of the world has given a special color to this epic work. Asadi Tusi's artistic performance in the appropriate use of Arabic Semitic elements as well as Zoroastrian elements in his esteemed work is another issue that should be paid attention to. The educational literature has included a significant volume of this epic work, as Asadi has had the opportunity to worship the one God, beauty, the value and place of speech, good and bad, royal customs, how to travel, in his condemnation of the world and so on. He has spoken.

    Rhetoric in Garshasbnameh is at an optimal level. Using all his rhetorical capacities, Asadi Tusi has taken serious care in depicting the battlefield and describing natural landscapes and various magical wonders in different lands of India. He has widely used all kinds of similes. Especially the palpable to palpable simile, which is one of the distinctive features of the Khorasani style. Almost and improbable metaphors can be seen everywhere, but they do not have the abundance of similes. Permissible types and irony are also pleasing to the eye in Gershasabnameh. Asadi Tousi was not ignorant of innovative crafts and decorated his entire poem with these crafts with artistry. Eloquence.

    1-1- Introduction

    Ali bin Ahmad al-Sadiyal al-Tusi al-Shaer: His date of birth is not exactly known, but what the tazkreh writers and other researchers have written about him is that he is one of the great epic poets of Iran in the fifth century, who was born in the late fourth or early fifth century. is They consider the year of his death to be more like 465 Hijri. It is undoubtedly the birthplace and the main home of Asadi in the city of Tus, as he himself says in the beginning of Garshasab's book: The brain

    Badada gave the words of Negz

    He brought it to Shahnameh Gati

    He asked for Neko's name in the letter

    You are his fellow citizen and his comrades

    Ham Ander Sokhan Habak Andishhai (Asadi, 1389: 39)

    However, since Tus and Khorasan were full of chaos and commotion, he traveled to Nakhchivan around the middle of the fifth century, and there he benefited from the love and affection of Shah Arrani, Malik Bodolf, so that he wrote the letter Gershasb in his name:

    Mjovi Andrin Kar Except for his name

    I have no seal on him except for his name

    that you found Nakhjavan

    In Shah, Bakht Piret Jovan (ibid., 40)

    " Dolatshah Samarqandi said in the poetry book that he was the master of Ferdowsi Tusi and Following this legendary claim, children have narrated. In the time of Sultan Mahmud, Asadi was the master of a sect of Khorasan poets, and he was given the task of composing the Shahnameh, he did not accept it and considered Ferdowsi, who was his student, worthy of this task and encouraged him to follow the Shahnameh. During his death, his master (that is, Asadi!) said that a part of the poem of the Shahnameh remained, Asadi said: O child, don't be sad and go to Ferdowsi, and there are four thousand verses before the prayer! Baghi put the rest of Shahnameh in order and Ferdowsi was still alive when he studied those verses! . (Safa, 1383, 255)

    Another group of researchers also believe in the existence of two Asadi. The first was Abul Nasr Ahmad Bin Mansour and the second Asadi was his son Ali.Asadi's father, Abu Nasrahamd bin Mansour, is thought to be a speaker of debates and master of Ferdowsi, and Asadi's son, Ali bin Ahmad, is depicted as a poet of Garshasabnameh and a writer of Fars words.

    In any case, these sayings do not depend on sufficient evidence and reasons, so they are not worthy of attention. And it should be said that Ali bin Ahmad Asdatousi was not Ferdowsi's master and those who believe in two Asadis, father and son, have also gone the wrong way. is written There is no specific information about Abu Dolf. At the beginning of Garshasb Nameh, only Asadi says in his description:

    Shahe Arman and behind the Iranians

    Meh Tazian, Taj Shibanian

    Malek Bodolf Shahriar Zemin

    Jehandar Arrani Pak Din

    The great one who is supported by the sky

    Zakham Brahim is the prophet (Asadi, 1389: 40)

    who has a brother named Ibrahim:

    His brother is pure because the moon is born

    Brahim bin Safar with Far Wadad. (Ibid., 43)

    And his son's name is Mahmoud:

    Jahan Khorram from Ferovarand Ovi

    Also from Mir Mahmoud, his son (Ibid., 43)

    Amir Bodolf according to the statements of Esdi in Garshasabnameh: Kingship Arrani is a descendant of Hazrat Ibrahim, who is from the Shibani family and rules the land of Armenia. Since he is a Muslim and believes in many battles with the infidels, Bodolf is a brave, just, forgiving and populous kingdom. 

    2- Amir Ajl Shuja al-Dawlah: Abul Shuja' Manouchhar bin Shawar, one of the Shaddad kings, who apparently ruled from 456 to 503 or 504 AH in Ani, Armenia. Asadi wrote an argument about the bow and spear in praise of this king:

    Namur Mirajal Vala Manouchehr Malik

    The crown of kings and the brave, the state, the pride and descent

    3- Abulufa: There is no detailed information about him, we only know that Asdi wrote a debate about heaven and earth in his praise. 

    4- Abu Nasr Khalil ibn Ahmad: there is no information about him either, but Asdi Toosi wrote two debates between Mugh and Muslim, as well as night and day debates in his praise. rtl;">1-Laght Fars: It is the oldest Persian dictionary, and since many poems of poets of the 4th and early 5th centuries are included in this dictionary, in addition to unknown poets whose names have reached posterity in this way, it is also a useful book for researching the history of Persian poetry.

    Laght Fars is one of the most eloquent and eloquent examples of Persian prose.

    2- Debates: In each of them, Asadi Toosi imagined the scenes between the two sides and stated the reasons for each one's preference over the other. Esadi has not been very successful in these debates and has presented a simple and ordinary poem. What has caused these debates to remain is the novelty of Asadi's work in this field. Among the debates mentioned by Asadi, we can mention: the debates between the sky and the earth, in praise of Abolfa, the debates between Mugh and Muslim, the debates of night and day in praise of Abu Nasr Khalil ibn Ahmad, the debates of spear and bow in praise of Amir Manouchehr, the debates of night and day, Arab and Persian debates.

    3- Writing copies of the book "Al-Abniyyah on the Facts of Medicines" written by Abu Mansour Mowaquddin Ali Roy. which was finished copying in Shawwal 447 AH.

    4- Garshasabnameh: It is a poetic story whose different versions have between 7 and 11 thousand verses. This epic work is written on the weight of verbs, verbs, verbs, verbs, and in the sea of ??converging words, omitted or sometimes deficient.
