This article examines the dialectical relationship between folklore and history in Uzbek culture, positioning oral traditions as vessels of historical memory. Through case studies of the UNESCO-recognized festivals "Boysun Bahori," "Bakhshichilik," and "Lazgi," the study demonstrates how folklore embodies historical consciousness and transmits national identity across generations. Methodologically, it analyzes folklore as: A source for reconstructing historical worldviews, A tool for performative historical reconstruction (e.g., Azim Azizov’s theatrical adaptations), A framework for cultural resilience in digitized contexts. Findings reveal that folklore’s integration into digital media, educational curricula, and cultural diplomacy strategies fortifies "cultural immunity" among youth amid globalization. The research asserts that safeguarding living folklore is essential for decolonizing historical narratives and sustaining Uzbek cultural ontology.
