Material culture in Mostarli Hasan Ziya'i Divan

Based on the Divan of Hasan Ziyai, one of the 16th century Balkan poets, the material cultural elements belonging to the period he lived in and reflected in his poems were tried to be determined. Thus, contrary to what is said, Divan literature is not disconnected from life; It was aimed to show that the social, cultural, material and spiritual elements of the society are reflected in the poem. In the study, firstly, the definitions of the determined items were given. Then, sample couplets related to these elements were determined and how the poet used them in his divan was examined. While doing this, the prose translation and explanation of the specified couplet were also added. The study consists of three parts. In the first part, under the title of construction elements, countries were examined along with elements such as shelter, protection, religion-mysticism, business and trade, health, and cleanliness. In the second part, by giving the title of production items, food-beverage, clothing-clothing, items used in daily life were tried to be shown. Apart from these, writing elements, war instruments, musical instruments and transportation vehicles were determined and sample couplets were included. In the third part, with the title of precious stones and metals, the precious stones, mines and currencies used in the divan were determined.
