Khorezm oasis has been one of the centers of culture since ancient times. It is no secret to all of
us that Khiva's literary environment developed very early. One of the unique aspects of
Khorezm's literary life is that our poets, who lived in Khorezm in the past and wrote mostly in
Persian, wrote lyrical-epic works in Uzbek.
Academician M. Koshjanov noted that manuscript sources, as well as scientific works obtained
as a result of long-term archaeological research in the Khorezm oasis, testify to the
development of a unique culture in Khorezm already in the VI-III centuries BC. In the world of
science, this culture is called "Kaltaminor culture". Literature, which is a part of the culture,
also undoubtedly developed during this period, and at the end of the 1st millennium AD,
Khorezm's literary life entered the stage of development again. From this period, all works,
including literary works, were written in Arabic, and we have the opportunity to get acquainted
with most of the literary works of that time even today
Chapter IV of the book "Yatimat ad-darh" ("The only gem of the age") written by Abu Mansur
Abdumalik ibn Muhammad ibn Ismail al-Saalibi (961-1038) is dedicated to the analysis of the
work of prominent representatives of the nobles of Khorezm. In particular, al-Saalibi describes
the work of Abu Bakr al-Khwarizmi in detail in this chapter.
In the scientific research of the Palestinian scientist Husain Toho called "Arabic literary
environment in the Khorezm region", the poetic and prose works of about 15 poets and writers
who lived in Khorezm and created were studied. According to the given information, it was
shown that a number of the given examples indicate that the literary life was active in Khorezm
at the beginning of the Middle Ages. More than thirty poems of Zamakhshari are analyzed in
this book of the author. Later, by the 16th century, Khorezm's scientific and literary life began

to revive again. Until then, many works of art were created in Arabic and Persian languages,
but now those who create in Turkish language have also started to appear. The first example of
this is Khorezmi's work "Muhabbatnama". Later, Nasiruddin Burkhaniddin Rabguzi, Pahlavon
Mahmud, Qutbi, Saifi Saraoi, Haydar Khorazmi, Abdulghazi Bahadurkhan, Nurmuhammad
Andalib, Shermuhammad Avazbi's son Munis, Ogahi, Kamil Khorazmi, Avaz O'tar entered the
field of literature.
Another great figure of Khorezm literature is Muhammad Rahimkhan Soni (he was better
known as Feruz). One of the important sources for studying our spiritual heritage is the "Haft
Shuaro" (Seven Poets) complex created by Bayani at the request of Feruz and has a special
place in the literary environment of Khorezm
Ahmadjon Tabibi (1869-1911) is a well-known poet, calligrapher, skilled translator, author of
essays that shed light on the literary life of his time. Finally, he became a prolific creator,
during his short life of 42 years, he composed 5 divans, wrote 3 epics and 2 tazkiras. He
translated Fuzuli's "Haft Jom" masnavi. The tazkiras "Majmuat ush-shuaroyi Feruzshahi" and
"Mukhammasati ush-shuaroyi Feruzshahi" show that he has deep knowledge and skills as a
tazkiranavis. These collections were created during the reign of Feruz Khan and serve as a
valuable source for studying the literary movement of that time. It should be noted that the
ancient and modern Khorezm region has a great place in the development of Uzbek culture, art
and literature. In 1994, "Adabiyot va Sanat Nashariyat" published a book of memoirs by
Bobojon Tarroq Azizov-Khodim about the poets who lived in the era of Syed Muhammad
Rahimkhan Sani in the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. This
brochure contains the memories of Bobojon Tarroh Khadim, the leader of the poets who served
in the Feruz palace, who worked as a devan.
The above-mentioned and analyzed tazkiras and dictionaries reflect information about the lives
and creative activities of individual individuals. The cited sources are the main sources for the
study of Khorezm's literary environment. Studying the information provided in these sources
will help researchers, students, and those interested in the literary environment of this period.
The creators of Khorezm made an important contribution to the development of Uzbek
literature of the 20th century. A number of enlightened poets grew up, new dramatists appeared.
Short stories and novels were created, poetry collections were published. Also, Ota Mahmud
Muhammad Latif Ogle (Partav), Yunus Yusupov, Rahim Bekniyoz, Egam Rahim, Qurban
Matrizo, Erkin Madrahim (Ashiq Erkin), Matnazar Abdulhakim, Reyimboy Sobirov, poet and
writer Erkin Samandar, who is active in reflecting the life of Khorezm in literature, and Amon
Matjon, and others filled the flow of literary publications by creating works of art. Also, the
reference publication "Uzbek writers" by professor S. Mirvaliyev was published 5 times.
Information about poets and writers from Khorezm is also provided in these publications.
In our opinion, it would be appropriate to prepare a book enriched with such information about
poets and writers of Khorezm in cooperation with the Khorezm Region Information and Library
Center and the Regional Writers' Union. The life and creative work of poets and writers, literary
scholars who grew up in this region would have been a great scientific-practical source for all
readers interested in literature in our Republic, as well as for academic staff conducting
research in the field of philology, history, culture and art. Also, today, at a time when
international tourism is developed, not only Uzbek, but also foreign guests and artists will have
the opportunity to get acquainted with the history of Khorezm literature and the life and work of
modern poets, writers, literary scholars who are currently writing. Students of schools,
specialized schools, and universities would regularly enjoy their creative work with poets and
writers who wrote the anthem of this country in every region. We will promote the creativity of
