Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: proverbs are a part of oral literature that are said and heard in every language and culture; However, the subjects of proverbs are different from one society to another and express the interest or disgust of the people of that society and in fact reflect the original and common culture of each society. This research aims to study some of the most common proverbs of this city in terms of educational and educational content, with the aim of getting to know more about the folk culture of the people of Kashmir.

METHODOLOGY: In this research, as far as possible, examples were collected in the field, and the next stage of research was conducted in the library and written sources were used. In order to convey the correct pronunciation of words and dialect terms, the common alphabet among orientalists (albeit in a simpler form) has been used.

FINDINGS: The findings of the research confirm that the dominant form of the values ​​of the people of Kashmir, which are represented in proverbs, can be examined in four levels: social and individual ethics, economic issues and themes, negative moral teachings, and proverbs with a disappointing and objectionable meaning.

CONCLUSION: The results of the research show the representation of a kind of social character that believes in tolerance and resilience, altruism, condemnation of deception and hypocrisy, condemnation of appearance and self-reliance, self-reliance and self-confidence, patience and lack of haste, reflection on speaking, modesty and self-restraint. In the field of economic issues, the two issues of importance of effort and work, and condemnation of poverty are most visible. Negative teachings are also divided into two main categories emphasizing selfishness and self-interest, and complaining and criticizing dependents. It should be noted that the atmosphere of most of these proverbs is not positive, happy and hopeful, which requires sociological and psychological researches to investigate its causes and roots.
