Abstract
The Folk literature of the Iranian people is a heritage of the people which is mostly oral and is very different from the traditional Persian literature in terms of structure and content. Folk tone, simple language, and common thoughts from illiterate people are visible in this literature. What is known as folk literature is not created by a special person and It is not known who that particular person was in the beginning. There are songs in Shahroud of Khalkhal, that have been common in this region since ancient times. These songs are being forgotten today. The topics used in these songs show the concerns of the people who create them. The main question of this article is how the thematic analysis of Tati folk literature leads us to social, political, economical, and cultural points in this region. These songs were collected in the field. The result of the research shows that folk literature is a factor in recognizing rituals, people's spirits, political-social events, and economic concerns of the people of each region.
