A Study of the Cultural-Social Relations of the BuyidGovernment with the Abbasid Caliphate

In 333 AH, the government of Buyids overthrow Baghdad, the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate and seized the power in this city and the Abbasid Caliphate as Amir al-Amra. They were Iranian government and Shiites.This made the type of their relations with the Abbasid caliphate of special importance.It seems that maintaining the rule and political structure was a top priority for the Buyid government, so their relations with the Abbasid caliphate were completely affected by this demand.However, the Buyid dynasty’s relations with the caliphate can be divided into divergent and hegemonic relations. During the study of the type of relations, we come across many cases that show the efforts of the Buyid government to preserve the rituals of Iranian culture.The main question of the research is what kind of relations the Buyid government had with the Abbasid Caliphate and what methods they applied to preserve Iranian culture and civilization.
