Abstract :The symbol is one of the main poetic devices in terms of the question of nationalism in poetry. The symbol is an aesthetic category in literature, incorporating language, detail, image and character which all govern the concept of nationality. However, the subject requires a sensitive approach. In the poetic thinking of every society the frequent repetition of a specific image does not give the image a national character. The main requirement of the symbol as a manifestation of nationality is that it should, first of all, guide the people in development and endure in various historical forms retaining the primary meaning. The process of the national adoption of a symbol is studied here, something that demands serious research, because there are images of importance in our national thought that can be found to the same or a different extent in the literature of other peoples too. Thus, ethnic thinking, the geographic factor and ideological influence play a special role in this process. In the article to be presented, the concepts of nation and nationality are substantiated with reference to the concepts of Azerbaijani, Turkish, Russian and European scholars in this field. In this way, the individual features of the image-symbols, which have a universal character in the process of historical and artistic evolution of national poetry, are determined. During the research the process of nationalization of the Mountain, Moon, Star, Araz River and other symbols which are active in the gene pool of national memory are traced and analyzed.Keywords : Millet, Edebi Sembol, Dağ, Ay-Yıldız, Araz
