Abstract

In the formation of the system of power in Iran and the legitimate position of the kings, the concern for the people and the attention to justice in the interests of the subjects, had a great contribution and the Iranian branch provides the causes of the royal branch. The king had the necessary kindness and authority as long as he was with the people and the people. In this view, the emergence of the monarchy was the result of popular action and popular vote, and the system of power was customary in nature and then sacred. The collective fortunes of the inhabitants of Iranshahr towards the just and wise king were effective in maintaining his power, and the public's hatred and hatred contributed to the decline of his position. Accordingly, the present article, with a descriptive-analytical approach, while examining the popular position of the government and the functioning of the imperial institution in Iran, considers this issue in the historiographical vision of Abu Hanifa Dinvari. According to the Iranian ideas in the historiography of Abu Hanifa Dinvari, it seems that the mentioned historian, as one of the pioneers of Islamic historiography, based on the necessity of the rulers' attention to the people, spoke about the relations between the society and the government. In a mythical way, Dinvari explains the harmony of society and government in a way in which the popular position and the customary-sacred aspect of government are evident. In addition, in the field of history, it offers significant convergent ideas in its historiography.
