Abai's thought

Abai is a poet and a great thinker. He pointed out the way forward for his compatriots in the darkest and harshest era in Kazakh history, and his thoughts nurtured a whole generation of Kazakhs.

/kloc-In the first half of the 0/9th century, Kazakhs still groaned under the oppression of religious fog and feudal patriarchal clan system. Abai tells people that there is nothing eternal in the world. "Behind the frozen winter is the warm spring with green grass and rippling blue waves." The patriarchal clan system can also be changed. Under the inspiration of Abai, Kazakh shepherds who have suffered for generations have seen the light and hope, established their confidence and bravely bid farewell to the old century.

Abai also put forward a new idea of economic structure in pastoral areas. He clearly pointed out that the single economic fragility of animal husbandry requires people to develop agricultural production and diversified management. This has played a guiding role in the transformation of Kazak pastoral area from a single unstable animal husbandry economy to a diversified comprehensive economy. Abai also pointed out that it is impossible to develop science, culture and education under backward material production conditions, so it is impossible to change the fate of people's poverty and backwardness. He called on people to engage in productive labor, lay a reliable material foundation for the development of science and culture and accumulate necessary wealth. This is far-sighted.

Abai's main contribution to Kazakh culture and folklore lies in his poems, which show great nationalism and strengthen Kazakh folk culture. Before him, one of the most popular poems was passed down orally, echoing the nomadic habits of people in kazakh steppe. However, in Abai's life, some important socio-political and socio-economic changes have taken place. In Kazakhstan, the growing influence of Russia has led to the possibility of education and exposed some different ideas, whether it is Russia, the West or Asia. Abai himself is immersed in the history of these newly opened regional cultures and philosophies. In this sense, Abai's poems have influenced the philosophy of educated Kazakhs.
