THE SYMBOL OF THE SUN IN AZERBAIJANI FOLKLORE

Abstract

As soon as a person comes into contact with and perceives the realities of life, these units of reality are symbolized at the textual level. Units of reality are differently perceived, understood and expressed by people. The expression of reality manifests itself in different ways depending on the thinking and intellect. As a rule, such samples of folklore as beliefs, good wishes and curses are based on old beliefs based on reality.
In Turkic mythology, the Sun is God and the creator of the whole world. The acceptance of the Sun as the only God and the worship of the Solar God is observed in almost all nations. In other words, the symbol of the Sun is one of the main beliefs in all civilizations.
Models of thinking and thinking of the peoples of the world have similar symbols and similar concepts, categories and ideas about these symbols. The patterns associated with the Sun and its symbols in different parts of the world have the same roots throughout human history. In our opinion, the reason for this is the existence of common beliefs.
