Abstract :

n a comparative and analytical study of the happiness of the wealthy princes in Shahnameh and Haft Peykar, we find out how they use national mirrors and beliefs and archetypes and religious orders such as benevolence and charity day by day. They prospered and perpetuated their rule and increased their happiness and enjoyment of divine blessings by giving, giving, forgiving, and spreading the word to the general public, and by holding popular, national, and religious celebrations. The kings, who had a stable government and a prosperous life, praised their Lord in the mornings and evenings, and honored the wise, the clergy, and the astronomers, and consulted with them in carrying out and ending serious matters. The results of the research show that elements such as having a divine spirit and good looks of the rulers, having physical ability and bravery, greed, prayer, benevolence, using music, have been the factors of wealth and happiness of the Iranian princes. In some cases, Ferdowsi and in some issues, Nezami have taken a deeper look at them, and in the pages of this article, several examples have been studied.
