Abstract

Sense of belonging means people’s mental perception from the environment and their more and less conscious emotions from the environment surrounding them that put the person in an inherent relationship with the environment so that the person’s understanding and emotion get linked and integrated with the field of meaning of the environment. Iranian arts and culture has fostered its myths during various periods of history and in every period of history, by getting influenced by the available fields and backgrounds played an important role in a conscious orientation in creating myths. In the meantime, after the advent of Islam in Iran, due to the role of myths and symbols to create unity among Iranian and Islamic culture, the transmutation of myths and symbols can be seen to create unity among Iranian and Islamic culture. According to the myths’ roles in the past and present life of culture, arts and architecture of Iranian society, investigation of how and why the symbolism based on Iranian mythology and investigation of the optimal orientation of Iranian society seem to be important in this case.

Summary

Introduction

The images scattered around the world or what Yaakov Burkhart named them the ancestors’’ memories were found out by individuals. The myth is the story which is being quoted in the sequence of human generations and so naively explains the origin of the phenomena of nature and the testator’s traditions and beliefs, and explains the involvement of supernatural forces in natural and human affairs with the means of the changes created in the affairs of this world by such an involvement. This story since it is in the perception of ordinary people and involves justifying prejudices and imitations is a folk tale in one way but every ordinary story is not a methodology. Each issue shows that the person became a part of the myth and once again lives especially in the ceremonies and discovers that the myth is so blunt and clear in their thoughts
