Abstract
These four agents lionze in Shahnemeh. Including: religion, language, history and mythology. Since the national identity arise from political and cultural origions, we can know religion and history from political origion and language and mythology from cultural origion of national identity. Ferdowsi's tendency is generally on cultural mood of national identity. How ever we can`t shadow chronic corres ponding among religion, history and mythology, but Ferdowsi`s effort in Shahnameh is clearer on cultural mood of national identity toward more impress in national solidarity and cultural renaissense in weird epoch and strangers mastery.
Meanwhile, Ferdowsi`s significant effort is keeping the persian language that is the basis of cultural mood of national identity. It causes a serious prophecy for Persian language to protect Iranian culture against the strangers. His scramble is prevention of wandering the persain language and tendency to Arabic language. Ferdowsi animate Persian language and its function in two extent of literary creation and elegance knowing and moreover the extent of production the national common conceptions. Among these theories (Wandering, liken and language increase) the third theory is more noteworthy than others in Samani era. Ferdowsi creates a usual graft between national identity and cultural renaissense.
