Abstract:
Fārs province is considered as one of the geographical and historical region of Iran which has great extent and geographical diversity being always the site of different ethnics, groups, and races. The Persian people, tribes and nomads, like races of Qašqāyi, BoirAhmadi, and tribes of Xamse, have had the prominent role in culture and identity of people of this province. Therefore, the culture of this region can be divided into three main branches: Torki, Lori, and Fārsi.
The Fārsi culture is a collection of different cultures of urban, rural, and nomadic that flows in a range from the northeast to south of Fārs province. Although, the parts of central province namely city limits of Širāz also plays an important role in the nature of Fārsi culture, but this culture is prominent in the mid-southern and southeastern province. A region that includes cities of Jahrom, Fasā, Estahbān, Sarvestān, Dārāb, and even Lārestān.
Southeastern Fārs in terms of natural and human geography, is very diverse. In this range, ethnicities, races, and tribes of Fārs, Tork, Arab, Lor, with languages, accents, various customs and ideas, live together. Their life and jobs is based on animal husbandry and agriculture.It should be noted that despite the existence of Torki and Arabic languages ​​and cultures in this region, the Fārsi language and culture has more well-known and prominent importance and extent. Most poems of Tork-speakers and especially Arab-speakers in this region are Fārsi and are usually followed by the song. From this perspective, we can better understand the meaning of phenomenon and concept called "Fārsi culture". Fārsi culture can be seen through the localpoems and are considered as well-known language and symbol. In fact, the poems of Dobeyti (quatrain) and Takbeyti (couplet) are intertwined in the most cases and almost in all of the social and cultural aspects with singing and folk songs. Poem and music’s accompaniment in the songs performance of the Šarve, Sarkuhi, Hājiyuni, Sābunāti, and Jahromi cause to better understanding of the Fārsi culture’s Dobeyti and Takbeyti.
The basic goal of this research is to recognize the Fārsi culture through the poetry used in folk songs.
On the one hand, the extent and diversity in the themes of poetry including complaint, discredited the world, oppression-contest, religious and altruism, with a focus on the concept of "love-and-separation", representing the beliefs and thoughts of people and on the other hand, the phenomenon of singing, due to presence in diverse circumstances of the time and place, has social function. The purpose of locative and temporal situations is a wide spectrum of the rituals, jobs, lullabies, and almost all of moments of solitude and pull-together (companionship). In a sense, understanding of the relationship between poetry and song with Fārsi’s culture relies on the social position and meaning of folk songs.
The research methodology of the present research is flied study and library based methodology in order to better understand the executive context of these songs alongside considering the literary, anthropological and psychological factors.
