Abstract :

In the contemporary period, many scholars have recognized the rhythm of folk songs. The rhythm of Persian folk songs is temporal and temporal rhythm, so that the metrical accents are placed on long or heavy syllables, and these weights are divided into two categories: linguistic rhythm (vocal) and temporal rhythm. Linguistic rhythm is mostly based on the characteristics of the chained language of the tongue, such as leaning, stretching, and melody. Multiplication and rhythm support and the like are also used. This research seeks to answer the question whether before the results of recent research, in the works of Farabi and Avicenna, the principles of rhythm have been mentioned as modern achievements? Therefore, we have explored the topic of discussion by describing and analyzing the form and content, and various sources have been studied. Farabi and Avicenna are also the first scholars in the field of folk song rhythm to describe the rhythm of folk songs by using the terms of their period about rhythm. Farabi also gains the rhythm of poetry by comparing it with rhythms in music. Avicenna considers poetry to be a word composed of letters that includes everything that can be heard through sound, even movements.
