THE IMAGE OF BIRDS IN KARAKALPAK NATIONAL EPICS

Abstract

Oral literary genres, considered a rich cultural treasure in the centuries-old history of our people, have not lost their significance and value even through the world of images. From small genres of folklore to large-scale dastans, we find a thousand different ways of creating an image. Despite the fact that the human image is dominant in these works, in most cases, the image of animals and birds is also frequently encountered.
