КӨНЕ ТҮРКІ ЖАЗБА МҰРАЛАРЫНДАҒЫ «МӘҢГІЛІК» МОТИВІНІҢ ЖЫРЛАНУЫ

Abstract

It is a fact that human beings achieve success by believing in mysterious forces and the miraculous. At the same time, by nature, humans are drawn to goodness, virtue, and beauty. However, the negative, opposing side of both virtue and beauty also exists alongside them. Eternal power, boundless wealth, greed, and other negative concepts naturally remain in the shadow of virtue. Therefore, the issue of preserving national identity through the motif of eternity, rooted in beliefs and traditions dating back to ancient times, is one of the relevant topics in the field of social sciences. The paper analyzes the occurrences of the word “мәңгілік” (“eternity”) in ancient written monuments in combination with words such as “image,” “water,” “life,” “flame,” “people,” “stone,” and “light,” examining the essence of our people, their worldview, and life principles. The study is based on the conceptual ideas of scholars such as Altai Amanzholov, Nemat Kelimbetov, Gubaydolla Aidarov, Kulmat Omiraliev, Rabiga Syzdyk, Myrzatay Zholdasbekov, Alma Kyraubayeva, and others in the field of ancient Turkic literature research. Through the analysis of the issue of the “Eternal Image” in literature, the article addresses the prerequisites of the principles of virtue and the fundamental core of universal human values.
