EPIC TRADITIONS IN THE WORK OF SABIR SAYKALI IN UZBEK LITERATURE

The traditions of Uzbek folklore and epics date back to BC. Epic writing developed through Uzbek folk books, and "traveling plots" were based on them. The geography of "Traveling Plots" was wide and was reflected in the literature of the peoples of the Middle and Near East. Similar epics in Hindi, Jewish, Urdu, Georgian, Armenian, Turkish, Kurdish, Azerbaijani, Tajik, Uzbek languages, "Yusuf and Zulayho", "Tahir and Zuhra", "Ashiq Gharib and Shahsanam", stories like "Bahrom and Gulandom", "Bahrom and Dilorom" and others were created. Among these epics, "Bahrom and Dilorom" (or Gulandom) has its own characteristics. The plot of Bahram was first reflected in written works on the history of Iranian kings such as "Khudaynamak", "Sirrul mulukul ajam", "Tarihi rusul va muluk". The story of Bahram Gor entered the fiction literature through the work "Shahnoma" by Abulqasim Firdavsi. Bahram's plot was given a big place in the composition of the Eastern Khamsha. The creation of Nizami Ganjavi's "Haft Paykar", Khusrav Dehlavi's "Hasht Bihisht", and Alisher Navoi's "Sab'ai Sayyar" epics aroused interest and admiration among creators. These epics laid the foundation stone for the traditions of Uzbek epics. The principles of the epic were developed.
