In this respect, the tales of Muş province written by Yavuz (2006), Köse (2004), Aksu (2010) and the legends of the city mentioned in the work of Ekmekçi (2020) were first discussed in the context of root values and then values outside these values. The "basic qualitative research" design was used in the study. The research materials of the study are the texts in the 4 theses expressed. Thus, a total of 127 tales and 105 legends belonging to the province of Muş were examined. The data obtained according to the document analysis were analyzed with content analysis, evaluated and interpreted in terms of frequency. At the end of the study, it was established that there are examples of all of the root values in the tales and legends of the city of Muş and that the root values helpfulness (53), love (39), honesty (16), patience (15), friendship (14), justice (13), self-control (7) are included the most.
