Kazakhstan, which has gained independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union, is attracted by its state policy that highlights its national elements. In Kazakhstan, under the leadership of the founding President Nursultan Nazarbayev, activities are carried out to strengthen the common Turkish identity and the Kazakh national identity. The national culture of the Kazakh people is seen as an important source in strengthening the Kazakh national identity. In this context, a great importance is given to the celebration of the national holidays, the special days of the people of Kazakhstan with the hands of the state. One of these festivities is called Amal Merekesi/Körisüv Küni (Amal Day/Conversation Day). This tradition is celebrated in Kazakhstan on March 14, a week before the Nevruz Day. The tradition of Körisüv Küni shows a great similarity to Nevruz's holiday. This holiday, according to the solar calendar, is celebrated on March 13 with the end of the winter season and the beginning of the month Amal (Hamal), which is the spring month from March 14. This is why it is also called the Amal Merekesi. On the other hand, the Conargöcher Kazak life has also been influential in the name of the holiday as the Gulf Cube. After a long winter, the meeting of the people in the spring is the starting point of this name. The holiday is celebrated widely today, especially in Western Kazakhstan. The local governments in the western regions are organizing events that bring sound on this holiday. More local holidays have been carried out, but over the past few years the government has been trying to spend the country in its own hands. This article provides information about the tradition of the Kazak people's Körisuv Kuni. The history, celebration and celebration of Körisüv Küni is focused on the rituals held on this holiday. It has been discussed in the past and in the present day how the Cursus Cursus was celebrated. As a local tradition of Körisüv Küni in recent years has been nationalized and a festival celebrated across the country has been revealed. The focus is on why and how the holiday returns from the local to the general. In addition, according to the opinions of people living in different regions of Kazakhstan, the source has sought answers to the questions of what the Gulisuv Kuni expresses in the minds of the Kazak people today, how this holiday is perceived, whether it is truly a local tradition in the public and whether it has not become a national tradition, how the Gulisuv Kuni tradition has emerged, whether it is an invented tradition or a local nationalized tradition. The sources living in different regions of Kazakhstan and the conversations with people and other data in possession give the impression that Körisüv Küni is a tradition invented on the basis of the Nevruz Day. In the past the Russian intensity and pressure were more felt in the western regions of Kazakhstan, the people of Western Kazakhstan, who were unable to openly celebrate the Nevruz Day in the Soviet era, celebrated the Nevruz Day under the name of "Körisuv Kuni" by preserving all the rituals of Nevruz according to their popular calendar. In 1988 after the establishment of the Nevruz Day on 21-22 March, the "Nevruz in the people's memory" celebrated on 14 March along with the Nevruz Day continued to be celebrated under the name of Körisüv Küni. Currently, Körisüv Küni is quite convenient to be used as an argument in strengthening the Kazak national identity in terms of its content. The rituals that are included in the festival and represent national identity have been an effective element in the celebration of the festival with the government's hands in recent years. The Körisüv Küni, which highlights the national identity of the Kazakh people, attracted attention to the Kazak elements, is today an important and original tradition for the Kazak people.
