    Introduction

    References to each work It is said to be a magnificent literature in which the factor of imagination is involved, and it also has a meaningful connection with the real world. In other words, the collection of artistic manifestations of each nation that is expressed in words is considered the literature of that nation or nation, and the reality of the literature of any nation necessarily depends on the fabric of the past and present of that nation, for this reason, it is largely dedicated to the culture that created it. Therefore, literature reflects the thoughts, opinions and ethnic issues of its creator.

    Fictional literature includes stories, romances, novels, short stories and related works. To the works in which the emphasis is on extraordinary events more than the development and development of people and characters. In other words, they have a simple texture and the events are not cause and effect, they tell a story, and a story is a narrative in prose of recreating events about people in a way that causes anticipation and intimacy, and its distinctive feature is that it can make us want to know what happens next. There are events that have happened or will happen to people, animals and anything else. Narration is not only in stories and tales, but also in myths, legends, moral tales, tragedies, comedies, epics, history, picture books, news, paintings, etc. is present.

    The king of poetry Khwaja Jamal al-Din Salman bin Khwaja Aladaim Muhammad Sawji, known as "Salman Sawji", is one of the great poets, especially among the prominent poets of Persian literature, and one of his most important works, which is in the narrative genre, is his Masnavi "Jamshid and the Sun".

    The elements of story and story in this prose review and the degree of closeness of this work to stories and tales has been measured and also the characters of this work have been analyzed based on Propp's self-work theory. After analyzing 100 stories from Russian stories, Propp has found 31 autographs. He believes that folk tales and even romances can be analyzed with this model.

    And we used only elements of Parian Prap's fairy tale in this research.

    The compilation of this thesis in 5 chapters is as follows:

    The first chapter is entitled the generalities of the research, the second chapter in which the theoretical foundations of the research are explained and described. The third chapter is the description of the life and works of Salman Savji, his style and thought, which is mostly analyzed about Masnavi Jamshid and Khurshid. The fourth chapter examines the elements of stories and stories in Masnavi Jamshid and Khursheed Salman Savji. The fifth chapter, which forms the conclusion, proposal and sources.

    The main research texts in this thesis are: Salman Savji's book of generalizations based on the theory of "Fairy Tales' Theory" by Vladimir Propp has been reviewed.

    1-1. Statement of the problem

    Malk al-Shaara Khwaja Jamal al-Din Salman bin Khwaja Ala al-Din Muhammad Sawaji, known as "Salman Sawaji", is one of the great poets, especially one of the distinguished poets of Persian literature, who was born in the early eighth century around the year (709 AH) in the city of Sawah. Kiyalat Divan, Faraqnameh, Badi al-Asrar poem and Masnavi Jamshid and Khurshid are among his works. Salman is also masterful and capable in reciting Masnavi, and his two works in this field, "Farewell" and "Jamshid and the Sun" are proof of this claim. He wanted to introduce a new design in Masnavi Goya, and in Masnavi "Jamshid and Khurshid" he has achieved his goal to some extent by introducing the formats of ghazal, verse, quatrain and couplets in this Masnavi and side by side. Salman composed this Masnavi in ??Jumadi al-Thani year (763 AH) under the name of Owais Ilkani (776-757 AH); As the poet himself mentions this at the end of the story and says: rtl;">May the oath of his reign last forever

    In the last few decades, when narratology has been proposed as a science, narratologists have tried have achieved specific narrative patterns so that they can analyze all narrative structures, whether old stories or modern novels, with these patterns. Many efforts have been made by researchers in this field as well, but Vladimir Propp's work has been more fruitful than others and his theory, despite its shortcomings, has brought about a huge revolution in the science of narratology. In the book "Fairy Tales", Propp has described the stories based on their components and the mutual relationships of these components. After analyzing 100 stories from Russian stories, Propp has found 31 examples.

    He believes that folk tales and even romances can be analyzed with this pattern. In this research, an attempt is made to analyze the Masnavi of Jamshid and Khurshid based on the elements of the story and the prop pattern of fairy tales.
