Hojjat Kojani Hesari, Mohammad Reza Pashaei(Author in Charge)

Abstract

Divination and humorous people and events have been the commonplace traditions of old societies. Fooling was a kind of prediction of future events, which in many cases inspired the savvy of his owner or plans to prevent possible losses. It is widely mentioned in various historical, literary and scientific works of the early centuries of the Persian language after Islam. Nizami In the sixth century AH, referred to this belief and commonplace in society among his five poems. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the performance of Ganjavi"s military khmesa to showcase the beliefs and types of foolishness in the military system and to introduce a variety of tales, interpretations and falsifications in the works. The present study is conducted in a librarian way, with the extraction of various types of horoscope from the works of this poet and their classification by reviewing the articles and the corresponding books. The results show that, given the abundance of military references, the poet himself does not have any opinion on this issue; however, he has addressed the situation of society. In his works, this work is common in two ways, sometimes in the form of good and evil, sometimes in the form of words interpreted, drawn and walled.
