Symbolic Concepts of Violet Flower in Mazandaranian Couplets

Vegetable elements create symbols that offer a transcendent embodiment of the signifier more prominent than their meanings, and in fact connect the human soul with the transcendental. The symbol is somehow related to the feeling of need in human beings. Popular literature is the field of recognizing the customs and beliefs of the people, which includes myths, beliefs, stories, songs, etc. Folk songs are an important part of the oral literature due to the protection of cultural and national identity and the transmission of feelings and beliefs about our past. In this study, more than a thousand verses of Mazandaranian poetry have been studied. Based on the library and field study findings, it can be said that the violet flower has a high frequency among other flowers in the poems of Mazandaranian people, because it represents the spring season, which is sometimes associated with the social, educational, and romantic themes (sadness of love, and pain of waiting). To the extent that the lover converses with the violet flower, he remembers Yar with his pleasant perfume, and considers the shape of his heart and the color of blue as a symbol of his aching heart. Finally, he sees its tangling and twisting as a symbol of the belovedchr('39')s hair.
