The components of classicism in Divan Rudaki

 Khorasani style and the school of classicism have established a deep understanding of each other"s components despite the great historical distance. On the one hand, the Khorasani style is important as the first poetic style after Islam, and on the other hand, the classicism school is also important as the first school that was formed after the dominance of Christianity and the Middle Ages in Europe. Therefore, it is surprising to find some commonalities between these two in the poetic works of that era due to their emergence after a change in religious attitudes and a period of silence. One of the poets whose classicism elements can be seen in his works is Rudaki (237-319 AH).

 In this article, the researcher has addressed this discussion with the descriptive-analytical method based on data collection through library-documents with the analysis of the data extracted through study, text reading, and data collection.

 In this research, the investigation of classicism in Rudaki"s poetry is investigated and its innovative aspect is in the comparison and adaptation of style in Iranian poetry with scholastic components in European literature, which is classified as comparative literature.

 It is safe to say that the element of reason is discussed and investigated in Rudaki"s poetry exactly in the same sense as its classical component, and other elements are semantic similarities in their own way, depending on the circumstances of the creation of this school and the style of Khorasani. And they have depicted a unique concept. It goes without saying that some elements that were created, fertilized and perfected only with the passage of time, such as the unity of three themes, were not included in Rudaki"s poems. Khorasani styles are well suited in this sense.
