Persian folk literature has a long history. Many ancient Persian folk tales were passed down from generation to generation through oral transmission before they were eventually compiled into literary works. Among Persian folktales, formula story of warriors and beauties is one of the most common genres of Persian magic stories. Nūshāfarīnnāma, a folklore work written during the Safavid period, is a typical example of this type of story. Taking Nūshāfarīnnāma as its research object, this thesis mainly focuses on the plot motifs and narrative model of the folklore. This thesis firstly divides the story into five plot units and summarizes the typical motifs in it using the motif analysis method. It further summarizes the common narrative model of Persian formula stories of warriors and beauties by examining the text of Nūshāfarīnnāma and other related stories.
