Uzbek literature, in its earliest examples, strives to express the feelings of self-awareness, patriotism, human dignity, and is not only the enlightenment of a nation in its essence. Nasiruddin Burkhanuddin Rabguzi's “Qissasi Rabguzi” is one of such rare literary monuments, which includes the feelings of worldly thinking. More than thirty literary genres such as story, story, wisdom, narration, anecdote, allusion, question and answer, poem, ghazal are presented in the work and serve as a rich source for the theory of literature and theory of pedagogy.

It is noteworthy that some of these literary genres are considered the first genres created in this language for Turkish-Uzbek literature. “Qissasi Rabguzi” is a work that knows no boundaries in terms of art and enlightenment. There are many factors that ensure its artistic appeal. One of them is the interpretation of the image of animals in it. In general, animals, the animal world, the ideas presented in them are considered an inspiring topic for the fiction of all times and peoples, and ancient holy books, folklore, and written encyclopedias are the source of this topic.
