Abstract

The popular literature of any land is a suitable platform for reflecting its social and cultural issues, which are presented in the form of proverbs, allegories, songs, etc. A large part of the elements of Khorasan's popular literature are related to reflecting the theme of "helpfulness" and the alignment of multiple efforts to achieve a specific goal.Due to the difficult climatic and geographical conditions of the region and the Islamic and Iranian culture of mutual aid and brotherhood, it has played an important role in the survival of the social life of the villagers and nomads of this region and is seen as one of the most deeply rooted components of native culture in many aspects of social life The present study, which aims to identify the cultural identity of indigenous knowledge in the South Khorasan region, is based on popular literature and is conducted using a descriptive-analytical method. It seeks to examine aspects of the culture of cooperation and helpfulness among the people of South Khorasan, using an anthropological approach and paying attention to the lived experience of the people of this land.And to reflect it in the speech tradition of this land.
