Abstract
With the defeat of the Sâsaniân authoritarian government, the Middle Persian language gradually faded and disappeared in the Divan (Government organizations). The Pahlavi language was replaced by the Arabic language, which was considered a sacred language in the light of the holiness of the Holy Quran. In such a situation, every writer and secretary in Iranshahr poured his mind and thought into Arabic, and this language became the language of the elites of the Iranian society and the language of contemporary culture. From writing letters in the courts to writing news and reviews, etc., everything was in Arabic. In this situation, Arab poets of Iranian origin who played the role of connecting Iranian cultural and literary traditions; They introduced the components of Iranian culture into Arabic, the most prominent of which were the Iranshahri festivals, which provided a platform for the rest of the cultural traditions of Iran to be transferred through this channel. In the current research, Iranian festivals in the works of writers and poets of Yatima Al-Dahr book were examined with a literary-historical-social approach. The findings of this research show that Nowruz, Mehrgân, Sadeh, Râm, Âfrijkân, and Khorroz festivals were celebrated in the order of their importance at that time. Nowruz, Mehrgan and Sedeh had more of an occasion aspect and were expressed as court celebrations; Although the century and its ruling atmosphere have been described more than Nowruz and Mehrgân; On the other hand, Ram, Âfrijkân (Abrizgan) and Khorroz (Shab Chele) have been important among the masses of people. In the celebration of songs, the presence of Iranian culture in Arabic poetry is visible in the form of elements such as landscape poems, flowers, colors, Names of kings like Kasra Annoshe-ravan, Ŝahanŝâh (The Imperor) vintage and music
