Tousiaan

Tousiaan refers to a historical region and people associated with the area around the city of Tous in Khorasan, Iran. The region of Tous has a long and rich history, dating back to ancient times. It was a significant cultural and economic center, particularly during various Persian empires. The inhabitants of Tous and its surrounding areas, collectively known as Tousians, were known for their contributions to literature, science, and arts.

The city of Tous itself was a prominent center of learning and administration for centuries. It is famously associated with the poet Ferdowsi, author of the Shahnameh, who was born and lived in the village of Paj in the Tus region. This connection has cemented Tous's importance in Persian literary history. The Tousian people were involved in various crafts, agriculture, and trade, benefiting from the region's fertile lands and strategic location along trade routes. Over time, the identity and boundaries of "Tousiaan" have evolved with the shifting political and social landscapes of Persia. The legacy of the Tousian people is largely preserved through the historical and literary works originating from their region.
