Abstract

Hamidi Officials is one of the esteemed works of Persian prose and indicates various readable material with different people that Judge Hamid al-Din has dealt with in his speeches. One of these components is two characters, old and young, who appear in various scenes. In the authorities, the word "old" has a higher frequency and its role than "young", and in fact, the author has paid special attention to these two categories. According to Judge Hamid-al-Din, white hair is not a source of credit, but a position of wisdom that gives dignity and greatness to the old, and this greatness and greatness can also be bestowed on a wise, intelligent and prudent young man to sit in old age in youth. In this text, old and young, in addition to the appearance aspects, have also appeared in metaphorical and ironic roles. But what the judge of Balkh wants is a wise old man who can also have intelligence and votes. Therefore, this article examines the role of these two characters in this text by content analysis method and by library tools.
