Abstract: (11 Views)

Persian poetry and hand-woven carpet were two influential words in the formation of Iranian culture from the distant past and And the interaction and communication of these two have been in such a way that while creating more value for each other, they have also enriched the Iranian culture so far.
The connection and interaction between Persian poetry and Iranian hand-woven carpets have existed in various ways, and awareness and understanding of these interactions is one of the necessities of this research.
and The main purpose of doing it is to analyze the content and theme of the various poems woven in the carpets which can somehow be divided into the categories of the interaction of the types of poetry with the design or pattern of the carpet, the function or application of the carpet, and even the relationship between the style and the time period when the poems were written and woven into the carpet. This research is developmental in terms of its purpose and qualitative and descriptive in terms of approach, and the method of data collection is library and field.
The statistical community includes Iranian hand-woven carpets available after the Safavid period until the present era, in which Persian poems are woven, and the number of samples includes about 30 carpets in private collections and museums.
The findings show that after Islam and the spread of Shiism in the Safavid era, poems were also woven into the carpet as a part of the design and pattern of the carpet,sometimes by great poets and sometimes by ordinary people and anonymous poets.Meanwhile, from the Safavid period onwards, poets' attention to the poetic forms of ghazal and masnavi increased, and such verses were woven into carpets with related images
