Abstract

Тhe article is devoted to the consideration and analysis of some of the information given in the source «Mihman-Nameh-I Bukhara» by Fazlallah Ibn Ruzbihan, as well as other researchers. The Central Asian region has played an important role in the ethnogenesis, development and historical fate of many peoples since ancient times. Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Tajiks, Uighurs and other peoples who lived in this region took an active part in civilizational processes. The nomadic population of this vast region has been closely associated with representatives of a sedentary lifestyle since ancient times. Over the centuries, the history of the relationship of nomadic culture with agriculture and Crafts has always complemented each other. The article shows that questions about the people of Central Asia, their role in historical, political, economic and cultural life are reflected in the works of medieval authors. On the basis of examples, the material and spiritual culture of the Kazakh people is considered in the work of Fazlallah Ibn Ruzbikhan. Touching on the history of the Kazakh people, we can witness that,leading a nomadic way of life,they were able to create a great culture that was formed over a long historical period, improved over the centuries and has survived to this day.
