Abstract

Abstract: Plants, as one of the important sources of food and medicine, have been the focus of human attention since long ago. Our ancestors over thousands of years, in addition to providing the medicine, food and clothing have gained more knowledge on the plants and have used the color and smell of a number of plants in painting, dyeing, making perfume and doing the makeup. Indigo is one of the dye-producing plants that have attracted the attention of people due to its color stability and high ability to combine with a wide range of other natural colors. The extensive reflection of this plant in the poem indicates the prosperity and healthy use of the natural color of indigo, along with its healing properties, by the ancients. In the 6th century, for some reasons, including competition, the development of science or idealism by the poets, the therapeutic functions of Indigo, like the information of other sciences, have been mixed with the irony and metaphors and made it difficult to understand the meaning of the poem. This research aims to extract the reflections of the Indigo from the , Divan of Sanai, Anwari, Khaghani and Nizami by using the descriptive-analytical method to investigate and analyze its medical, literary and artistic functions and its public beliefs.
