Interaction Between Arabic And Persian Culture During The Arab Empire Period

During the Sassanid dynasty,Persians and Arabs made initial contacts and intercourse between their cultures through trade and war.After that,the military conquest of the Arabs,from the national limits,broke the political barriers to intercourse between the two sides,and provided the conditions for further intercourse and interaction between the two ethnic groups and their cultures during the period of the Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties.During the Umayyad dynasty,in order to stabilize their dominance,the rulers vigorously carried out language and currency reform,and carried out a series of Arabization initiatives.Many Persians were forced to renounce their previous religious beliefs,convert to Islam,and gradually adapt and integrate into Arab society.With theand conversion of the Persians,Persian culture increasingly seeped into Arab culture.In particular,the Arabs began to attach importance to the translation of ancient works of Persian and other peoples,which laid a good cultural foundation for the deeper cultural exchanges and integration between the two ethnic groups during the Abbasid dynasty.In the early days of the Abbasid dynasty,the Persians were reused by rulers with their outstanding political talents and high cultural level,and in the political life of the country,their influence was increasing;In the fields of religion and architecture,they were the main promoters of the prosperity of cultural undertakings at the time."Hundred-year Translation Movement" is the outstanding performance of the vigorous development of cultural undertakings and the integration of the two major national cultures.Specifically,a group of Persian scholars translated a large number of Persian literatures into Arabic,while many Arab scholars also actively studied Persian language and studied Persian culture.The study and research of each other's languages and cultures by Persians and Arabs,as well as the emergence of a large number of related achievements,on the one hand,enhanced the understanding and tolerance of each other's cultures,and provided the premise for the two peoples to eliminate the language divide and to develop deep-seated cultural exchanges.The differences and differences of race and religion,from the perspective of higher,inheriting and developing the achievements of human civilization,and increasingly the basic recognition of the cultural pattern of "cointegration and interaction" of different cultures under imperial rule,which undoubtedly provide a favorable ideological environment for the stability and extension of imperial rule.By the middle of the dynasty,the Turkic Guards had risen rapidly,and the influence of Persian in Baghdad was in great decline.But the Persians flourished in the eastern and western parts of the empire,establishing several Persian local dynasties: the Tahir,Safar,Samanid and Buyid.At that time,the local dynasty in the consolidation of power,economic development at the same time,focus on the realization of "Persian Cultural Revival." But at this time Persian culture has become a strong Islamic culture,and even to some extent has become an important part of Arab culture.In general,from the death of the Sassan dynasty to the period of the Persian local dynasty,the Persians went from tenacious rebels to submissive collaborators to the founders of independent local dynasties,from the under-status conquerors to the shapers of the social culture of the Arab Empire to the revivalists of Persian culture during the local dynasty.The process of its status evolution shows obvious phase characteristics.From the perspective of civilized communication and civilization interaction,the evolution of Persian status is not only the process of interaction between Persians and Arabs in various fields of social life,but also the process of laying the foundation for the revival of Persian culture under the premise of the integration of Persian culture with Arabic culture.At that time,the interaction and interaction between Persians and Arabs,Persian cultures and Arab cultures not only promoted the development of Middle East civilization,but also had a profound impact on the development of human civilization.
