Abstract

The use of folk poetry, folk tales and stories by Saudi poets in the north of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia represents one of the forms of contemporary Arabic literature, as the poets committed themselves to presenting everything related to the environment, whether from an intellectual or popular cultural perspective, and the use of folk poetry, folk tales and stories is only a prominent milestone in that field. The research included an introduction and introduction, two sections, a conclusion and references. The introduction dealt with the importance of the topic, the reasons for choosing it, the objectives of the research, previous studies, the research plan, and the research methodology. The introduction included an introduction to the northern environment. The first section: The first section: The theoretical study of folk poetry, folk tales, and stories. The second section: Applied study of popular poetry, tales, and folk stories by poets in the north of the Kingdom, conclusion, then sources and references. Research Methodology: I started my research from two approaches: the historical approach and the inductive approach. I used them as a means of analyzing and processing texts and revealing their circumstances. I reached a number of results, the most important of which are: that the most important motives that force the poet to follow folk poetry, folk tales, and stories are many, including: psychological motives such as longing, nostalgia, fear, and empty quarters, or social motives such as poverty and wars, and that traditions derive their legitimacy and strength from the strength of society, or the class or environment in which they have colluded, and for this reason they are constants that do not accept change or change, while customs can change as a result of contact with others. The nature of myth and imagination has occupied a large part of the memory of folk tales, and this is evidenced by the story of Hazdaha narrated by Al-Fulaih, and thus I have concluded the research in this context.
