The one tradition, the one ten gin
The blossom of nature and greenness of the soil all represents one big flavor of mankind: the joy and glory of life. Throughout the history of existence spring always brought something new and how human beings confronted it shares a different story.
To my concern I will focus on Iran, of when and how the celebration of spring started and what it truly means.
Thousands of years ago group of migraters from Siberia and east Europe headed east and south in search of what they called warmer lands. These people were called the Aryans. The Aryans, however splitted on their journey to the south, one group headed to the now called Iran. They were of three tribes, the Medes, the parts and the Parsis. The way they reached power and founded the first known empire doesn’t in that much sense intrigue the means for spring celebration. Having the periods of ancient Persia divided into glory, civilization and magic, the history of norouz celebration is traced back to magic period. At the time, human beings were all in the fight of getting control over the world elements by super natural powers. The religion of the time and all other residential issues focused on the same matter. A young man had risen at the time, by super natural birth affects probably considered usual at the time. It is delivered that after years of wandering through nature and finding beliefs of it, he was confronted with god by the side of daiitii river and then was sentenced to messenger three orders of: worshiping ahoramazda (god) and relying on righteous for all.
Of having this religion conflicts only considered as the ideological change through perfection of an ancient philosophy or of a true story, they both affect the origins of Persian Norouz. According to zarthustrian religion, the ancient religion of Persia, god created the universe in six days, six stages. As in spring every thing is renewed and blossomed in to it’s most perfect range, it can be assumed of almost a new creation or the repetition of the first one. So this religion matter flowed in time and in times of Jamshid shah I, a Persian king it was established as a national celebration.
Manners of celebrating this ancient holiday that has lived through centuries of disruption, metamorphoses and intrigue did apparently change. No one can be certain about how it truly was in old time but the modern form of it can be traced and logic to be found on it’s origins. Having Haft cins (Seven S) on the linen is the known and typical part of it for almost all viewers consisting of Sabzeh (planted greens), Somagh, Serke (vinogar), Sekke (coin), Sib (apple), Sir (garlic), and Samano. It is proven that some time ago and reported before the Arab invasion to Persia it used to be Haft shin having, Sharab (wine), Sharbat (syrup), Shekar (sugar), Shir (milk), Shirini (sweets), Shirberenj (rice pudding) and finally Shahnameh (the rescuer of Persian language). To my concern there is one problem that is Sharab (wine) is actually Arabic world and the equivalent for it in Persian is Mey (Wine) so probably there should be a Haf mim (Seven M’s) in the history of norouz!!!!
No matter how much the traditions of norouz were changed still growing plants called Sabzeh is one that is brought for us from the very ancient Persians. As it was mentioned before there was a time when people were in seek of magic and super natural powers and so they did a lot to make their desire come true. One of them ironically is to grow a plant, the did the job and so when spring came bring green soil to nature they felt as if the nature had copied them and Spring came to reality as a result of their own action.
And so centuries of civilization, glory, even fall and disruption went on and still there is no end, we have one thing left from our ancestors and a reason for our joy and pride in this time of year.
