Abstract:
Farzand-nameh is one of the most important and ancient genres of didactic literature that parents have written with the aim of teaching science and religious and moral education to their children. Advice is the most important part of this Literary genre. Because the audience of this literary genre is mostly young people - and young nature tends to be rebellious and disobedient- they may not like it. Hence, there are always Rhetorical restrictions in front of them. Hence, authors and composers of these works are looking for rhetorical tools to solve these problems. Parody can be a rhetorical tool that has a deep effect on the audience by breaking the norms of the traditions of Farzand-nameh. In this paper, the contradictory functions of this literary genre are examined by studying the case of the manuscript of the Sheikh al-Maqamerin's advice book. This manuscript is a parody of Qaboos Nameh written by Ibrahim Khorasani for his son. Sheikh al-Maqamerin criticizes the two age-old traditions in Farzand-nameh: Pay attention to the personal benefit and people's judgment. In addition, the author has used parody to describe the turmoil and corruption of his time with his son in order to turn him away from moral vices by turning him upside down.
Machine summary:
Naqizah-guyi (Counter-argumentation/Parody) in the tradition of Farzandnameh writing, with an emphasis on the Advice Letter of Sheikh al-Maqamirin to his son Saba Jalili Jashn Abadi Assistant Professor, Department of Persian Language and Literature, Payame Noor University, Iran Seyyed Mahdi Rahimi Associate Professor, Department of Persian Language and Literature, University of Birjand, Birjand, Iran Abstract Farzandnameh is one of the important and ancient genres of didactic literature that parents have written with the aim of teaching sciences and the religious and moral upbringing of their children.
Sheikh al-Maqamirin criticizes two constant traditions present in Farzandnamehs, namely "attention to the personal benefit of moral virtues" and "the judgment of the people of the time," and employs Naqizah to first describe the abnormalities and corruptions of his era to his son so that through inversion, he may stay away from moral vices, and also, through Naqizah against the Qabus-nama, ensure the permanence of his own work.
