        Abstract         The egression of Islamic civilization from the Arabic cradle and its familiarity with the neighbors made the Islamic boundaries ready to mix with other cultures, and the Iran-biased policy and adorned the first period of the Abbasid era with Persian terms. Although in this literary innovation the transcribers and translators had also taken part, the literary men, following the ancient elements, endowed a new life to it by their exquisite writings. The present research is , by alluding to the caliphs' social stipulations in acceptance of the Persian vocabulary, to deal with their utility in paying attention to the ancient concepts and reflection of Iranian symbols. The result of the research indicates that using the Farsi words has been fulfilled by the purpose of retaliation to the cultural vacuum in the caliphate and the necessity of retaining the civilization themes which were transferred along with the rich traditions of the lowest common denominator wisdom. It also indicates the terms which have been selected with the nature of urbanization and with the will of the literary men and the enthusiasm of the poets, the lack of the native element couldn't affect their stability inside the boundaries of the Arabic territory.

We have tried , in this article, to study his stylistics and innovations in three levels of lingual, thought, and literal aspects. Manuscript profile

        Abstract         Taghi Danesh , one of the poets, scholars and writers of Ghajar's last period and early period of Pahlavi dynasty followed the poetic style of the previous poets in the second half of the 8th century and early period of 9th century, was specifically under the impact of Hafez Shirazi's poems and tenets. This affectability from Hafez can be discussed in three significant stylistic aspects: Poems which the poet, by imitating the style of the late 8th century and early the 9th century, he has followed Hafez poetry in external melody (meter and prosody) , marginal melody ( rhyme and alignment ) or phonologic level in the same way; and he has also dealt with the meter, rhyme and alignment of Hafez poetry with other meanings, themes ; and finally he has benefited from language and vocabulary and their combinations and expressions of Hafez's Diwan (book of poetry). We have tried , in this article, to discuss the three levels mentioned issues in Taghi Danesh's poetry by bringing samples and evidences from other poets. Manuscript profile

        Abstract         The rites of transition which is the collection of customs in the passage of time, covers the different stages of man's life including: birth, maturity, marriage and death. There are common ceremonies in the structure of the rites of people in different cultures which have roots in the beliefs of ancient world view of the nations and tribes towards the initial creation of the world which can lead to the unity of the nations. The researcher, in this paper, has tried, by following the theory of Van Gennep and others such as Minoo Amir Ghassemi, Hajiloo, Mircha Elyadeh and also the golden branch of James Frazier to study the semiotic rites of transition in an individual's life ( birth, maturity, marriage and death ), seclusion and separation, passage and return in the story of Gol and Nowrooz from Khajooyeh Kermani and also some similarities among the nations of Africa, North America, and Australia. The purpose of the researcher is to explain the combination of speculation and behavior, determining the man's abstract thought and create a new pattern of the internal structure of the rites which can lead to the unification of the dialogue between cultures and civilizations.

        Abstract         The original story of Yousef and Zolaykha is a real event which has been reflected in the Holy Qur'an and other divine books. However, in Persian literature, with the imagination of the narrators and poets it has been extended and highlighted and offered according their own mentality. Jaami has illustrated this in the most melodic and exquisite way and focused on Zolaykha for her axial role in the fiction. By describing and implementing the devices, Jaami has added specific manifestations to it and created the necessary attraction and movement. Therefore, it is better to study the skills used in it to illuminate its events and interactions and discover its hidden beauty. To attain this it was essential to investigate its plot, title, theme, tone, settlement, scene, narrator, perspectives, and characterization. The findings indicate that the events of the story proceed harmonically and reaches its logical climax; and the device of characterization and creating the scene is of Jaami's special interest.

        Abstract          From the view point of the promulgation or limitations of Persian Literature, especially in story-writing field, the years 1320 – 1300 are of thorough significance. The liberal forces who considered themselves the winners of constitution revolution, wished that the victory process and social structure be continued. But in front of them there were new powers that wanted to strengthen its bases. Struggling to attain power which existed in all ranks of society, had influence on the literature, too. The liberalists wanted to unmask the reality to the ordinary people; and the newly founded Pahlavi power wanted, by eliminating the impediment and suppressing the opposition, to legitimize its monarchy in the view of people. Both sides had understood the importance of literature, especially story-writing, and wanted to take benefits of its impact to develop their desires. Consequently, two types of literature and story-writing , with different purposes, were developed in Iranian society which can be called : court and folk literature. Senator Ali Dashti and Senator Motioddowleh Mohammad Hejazi were the leading figures of court literature and their only purposes were to entertain people and lead their minds to other problems including extravagant love and unbridled self-indulgence to divert people's attention from social problems. The stories of these two court writers, in this article, have thematically been investigated to show which of the problems were of importance in their ideas.  Manuscript profile

        Abstract         Theme creation and poetic interpretation are of the most significant features of Farsi poetry. The poet, In this device, creates relationship between the remote and apparently non-related elements which by similarities, proximities , conflicts, participation in the function, homogeneity and literal agreement are attained. In the lifetime of Abdorrahman Jaami, there was not a new specific style in Persian poetry and the literary works of that period indicate the imitation of the great previous literary men. However, Jaami has created new themes with fluent inditements in his valuable work " The Seven Thrones " or The Haft Owrang which have not yet been investigated. The present article analyzes the theme creation with fluent inditement (calligraphy) in the first Mathnavi of the Seven Thrones (selselatozzahab) from Jaami. They are exquisite themes that , in Jaami's world of poetry  are inconsistent elements in the expression of imagination, beautiful themes are created . Having provided a theoretical framework, the verses of this Mathnawi have been analyzed in descriptive- analytic method. Manuscript profile
