Abstract

While literary studies require constant development, the study of the influence of Eastern
national traditions on Uzbek literature on the basis of new approaches remains a requirement
of that period. Accordingly, the analysis of samples of Uzbek literary works created under
the influence of the Eastern literary heritage, based on the criteria of historicism and
nationality, and the approach to them from the point of view of the achievements of world
literature and literary criticism remains relevant.
The article also examines the meeting of the proverbs of the work "A Thousand and One
Nights" among Uzbek folk tales, the reasons for which are common aspects of the life of the
peoples of the East. In this regard, some of the stories of the "thousand and one nights" and
Uzbek folk tales were studied in comparison. The article also examines the problems of the
influence of the life of the peoples of the East on the proverbs of the work "A Thousand and
One Nights".
