CHUSTIY AS A CREATIVE PERSONALITY: LITERARY ENVIRONMENT AND TRADITIONS

This article provides a scientific analysis of the role of the literary environment and traditions in the formation of Chustiy, a prominent figure in 20th-century Uzbek poetry, as a creative personality. The research examines the influence of the Kokand, Namangan, and Tashkent literary circles on the poet’s work, as well as the preservation and continuation of classical traditions in Chustiy’s poetry. It is scientifically substantiated that Chustiy acquired classical poetic mastery and the aruz prosody from the Kokand literary environment, folk character and national spirit from the Namangan environment, and the experience of integrating with modern literary processes from the Tashkent environment. The poet’s divans, such as “Hayotnoma ” (The Book of Life), “ Sadoqat gullari ” (Flowers of Loyalty), and “Ko‘ngil tilagi” (Desire of the Heart), are analyzed as vivid examples of the endurance of classical traditions throughout the 20th century.
