Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, due to its special and unique place in the literary and cultural history of Iran, has always been present and influential in various fields and fields of life and thought of Iranians. The school of the return of the Qajar era is one of the most important periods of Persian poetry, which has been greatly influenced by the styles and works of its predecessors, especially the Khorasani style. Mentioning Ferdowsi's name and his book Shahnameh in poetry and prose after them is one of the types of influences from Ferdowsi and Shahnameh. The purpose of this article is to study and analyze the approach of the poets of the period of returning to the names and titles of Ferdowsi and Shahnameh in a descriptive method with the content analysis approach. Excavations conducted in five divans of five prominent poets of the Qajar period, namely Sohbat Lari, Fath Ali Khan Saba, Qaani, Soroush and Davari Shirazi, show that these poets, in addition to being influenced by the names, stories and style of Shahnameh, have interesting comments about Ferdowsi's name and book. Some poets have looked down on Ferdowsi and Shahnameh and considered themselves superior to Ferdowsi and sometimes viewed them with respect and esteem.
