Abstract: (2048 Views)
Because weather forecasting is directly related to people's lives, it is widely reflected in proverbs and it is often in full accordance with scientific facts. The signs related to the falling or not falling of rain in Ghohestan culture are very deep, diverse and wide, and show that the people of this region have paid special attention to the meteorological knowledge from the distant past, highlighting their great genius in discovering the signs. They have been able to predict the amount of precipitation and mitigate the adverse effects of the dry period that occurs periodically in this region. Folk proverbs and sayings, which are one of the most prominent manifestations of folklore, contain beliefs and customs that are passed down from generation to generation, and originate from the culture of the masses. Based on the astronomical beliefs of the past and the villagers' relationship with nature, proverbs about weather forecasting have been formed and become popular. Since the study of popular culture plays an important role in strengthening national and cultural identity, in this study, we have tried to explore the issue by using the proverbs, beliefs and sayings that are common among the people of the region. Using a descriptive-analytical method, we deal with some of the most important popular beliefs about meteorological knowledge in Birjand region.
