PECULIARITIES OF MASHHUR ZHUSYP KOPEYULI'S PIECE OF ART "KAZAKH GENEALOGY"

    History of Kazakh literature is obviously understood from significance of word art inheritance and style. Psychology of nation’s ideology defined in the aspect of theme, where every character is interrelated to a chain of events. On the way of formation of Kazakh nation and specification of history development governmental programs came into effect in order to turn cultural heritage into generation’s invention. President of Republic of Kazakhstan N.A.Nazarbayev in his historical allocution pointed out that “Cultural heritage” program should be national: “render honors to our national culture, increase what we have, systemized to the future generation mandate, should be the main purpose of the “Cultural heritage” program.” In the science of Kazakh literature one of the most important concerns is – genealogical piece of art (sezhire) was not studied till this moment. It is known that this question was observed in the art of our literature scientists from different angles. Heritage of Mashhur Zhusyp Kopeyuli- second half of 19th century and 20th century, his contribution to develop our literature during firs 30 years (1858-1931) is divine treasure. In the art of literature his didactic-philosophic, lyrical, saga-poems express rich noble existence. Poet on the basis of our nation’s history writes special genealogical composition. In the national, spiritual culture history researcher S.Dautov contributed to the first incarnation of Mashhur Zhusyp Kopeyuli’s “Kazakh genealogy” in the “preface” of this book S.Dautov wrote ”…this genealogy  started one hundred and twenty years ago, it is never been printed, some letters are faded, some places difficult to read… Interesting Mashhur Zhusyp wrote genealogy unreservedly, he had different attempt, in his work he described heroes of the place or race, wrote poems related to a poet, about champion, kyu artist’s legends, including even tale in verses and kyu. Above all he tried to make it as a illustration to the young generation, he penetrated all world, gave description, made verified conclusions, and spread it”. [1,3b]. Yet, Mashhur Zhusyp’s genealogy is written in a historical facts not only literary art it is deep didactical-humanistic, aesthetic ideology aimed to achieve sense of future generation high literature composition. Mashhur Zhusyp’s works have next historical novel-stories with Kazakh history which is narrated with historical facts:“Kazkh genealogy”, “ History of Orta zhuz”, “Meyram Tarauy”, “Boshan”, “Suindyk”, “Walked kulyk, kulyk, came to bulyk called Kuldyk”, “Tileyimbet, Nauryz”, “Six from Nauryz”, “Six borne from Kuandik”, “Altay son of Kuandyk”, “Moyindy tarataik”, “Sarmantaydan”, “Karakesek”, “Nurbyby”, “Karsyn”, “It is an extract from kazakh tale taken from Mashhur genealogy”, “Karakereydi soyleik” , “Akbura”, “Shauke taraulari”, “Basentien, Sirim”, “Basentien”, “Collected words of  Mashhur Zhusyp Kopeyuli ”, “History of forestman”, “History of Kerey ”, " Speech that were describing people of the past”, “Ulbike”, “Boltirik sheshen”, “Shanyshkali Berdikozha” . Decree of the idea and style in the genealogy stories can be differentiated as follow: first-systemized historical facts and stories where narration style is composite; second- historical characters and tales with distinguished significant events.

     Known Mashhur Zhusyp’s all historical and literature stories in genealogy lay great store by animating and showing the devotion to the importance of historical occasions. For instance he starts his first historical narration in “Kazakh genealogy” with penetration: “Kazakh people don’t have précised genealogy. “Forgetful who relied on study” didn’t need knowledge. “Wrong who relied on writing” didn’t need writing. There is no genealogy which was written in the absence of reading and writing. There were people which didn’t forget what they heard, have outstanding ability, people with open, narrative soul. Fathers, which remembered what they heard and sow, left a lot to the future generation by retelling the tales” [1, 9-b]. In those passage abstract combinations shows style of piece of art. Example: “Forgetful who relied on study”, “Wrong who relied on writing”, “outstanding ability”,” open, narrative soul”, “people which didn’t forget what they heard”, “Fathers, which remembered what they heard and sow”.  These abstract combinations in the structure of genealogy constitute the main style of above mentioned novel-stories. Historical novel expositions were styled with descriptive language art tells that genealogy belongs to the art literature.  In some historical tales of Mashhur Zhusyp’s genealogy plot structure is short.  Under certain theme connected with formation, emerging growth of “Date”, several plot stories compose whole context. (To indicate the type of unites Ingoda use the term “Date” (the father, the founder)). Author in that small plot stories like in art literature creates speaking figures, and gave them own characteristic. In genealogy while narrating historical data you can distinguish historical figures. For instance in the first part of Mashhur Zhusyp’s genealogy written short tale that Kunanbay was leading one hundred and twenty hadj people going to Mekke, and his silver-tongued gift. As for the part "Meyram tarauy" stories about Meyram baba, Kuandyk, Suyndyk narrated with effect. Historical characters express their thoughts through the dialog. Short but enlightening, aesthetically beautiful, significant tale-stories often used. For example: Aly son of Kanty, Zhamankol son of Sardjan, Dos batyr and his son Kodjanazar, Okyrek, Nayman, Tolek got wife of Kylyshkodjanin's doughter, Fight of akyn Balta and Kunanbay's fight, Alibek and Aksha, Sakkulak sheshen, nature of Tolegen bay, Ukybay, tricks of Shon bi, Omirbidin ulagaty, Kurman Kypshaktin blessing, children of Basentyin Kushik and Syrym, Buka, Kobyr and their descendants, Zhakay ahun, Asan child of Bayan like short story tales in Mashhur Zhusyp’s genealogy aesthetically beautiful, significant aspect felt. Among author’s work even observed that every character speaks with famous persons aphorisms. For example: Zhankutty kazhy Botantayuly "Best Kazakh people had bald forehead" /1, 38-á. / with such appreciation, he used his winged words in: "Tobykti Kunanbay- unquenchable source on the top of the mountain, Kypshak Ybyray- inexhaustible  strong steel, Musa- unflaky, uncatchable smooth, strong fish, Shingys tore- cold to muslims, close to russians" /1, 38-39-áá./.

     Main difference that describes literature characteristic of Mashhur Zhusyp’s genealogy – mentioned themes manner’s bigger part was written in a short tale style. In genealogy to make short stories comprehensible and historical character to be recognized as personage was used dialog and monolog. From that side some historical tales in genealogy even was written with narration of author it shows historical characters in Kazakh culture ethnographic, physiologic world through dialog and monolog.

     In conclusion, about fine art literature “Genealogy- is written with wing words or sometimes like a poem, quantity is always different. Our ancestors beginning of “Taipa” (in Arabic – a tribe, clan), “ruu” (in Kazakh- seed, gender and race at all) and showing its spreading genealogy and its historical writing monument./2, 224-á./.” That is why we greatly appreciate Mashhur Zhusyp’s artwork and consider it as a national literature.
