Glory of Persia in S.Korea

Uncategorized 2008/04/29 01:53

The Persian culture is so absorbing that enamors everyone who understands beauty, elegance, dignity, morality and inspiration.
A great and distinguished sample is Johan Wolfgang
Goethe the fabulous German poet who was vigorously in love of his Iranian preceptor, Hafez Shirazi that he finally devoted his “Western-Eastern diwan” to Persian literature sprouted by Hafez.
A contemporary example can be also mentioned; Prof.
Richard Nelson Frye who is a reputable American scholar involved in Iranology studies, sent an official request of Iranian president, Dr. Ahmadinejad, to be buried in the vicinity of Isfahan’s Zayande Rud after his death & the request was accepted.

Numerous personals in the world are really so bewitched with the Persian culture and civilization that consider IRAN as their second homeland, regardless to their political, scientific or social figure and personality.
Within the last few days, a main headline of global media was inaugurating of the “
Glory of Persia, the territory of Persian Gulf” festival in the national museum of South Korea which attracted lots of Korean citizens and politicians.
The festival
has been carried on along with a comprehensive exhibition of Persian and Islamic civilization consisted of stalls within pictures and paintings, special pavilions for displaying Persian genuine cuisines and edibles, books collections etc.

In addition to all above, the dazzling show of Persian ancient artifacts and historical relics dating back too 600 B.C. was another charming part of the fair attended by thousands of hospitable Koreans.
One of the celebrated visitors was a real lover of Persian culture,
Lee Young ae, an award-winning gifted Korean actress, the goodwill ambassador to UNICEF and the role-player of many dominant TV dramas in South Korea.


As a renowned artist and actress, Lee is very popular in IRAN and mainly called “Yangom” among her Persian fans [Probably more than 20 million fans], frequently been asked for interviews and news conferences.
Yangom chose only to take part inside an exclusive interview with the Iranian TV between thousands of interview requests submitted to her. Mansour Zabetian was the Iranian reporter to whom Yangom interviewed.

“I love Iranian culture, Iranian people and the IRAN. Lee Young replied after a question about the reasons of her decision to hold an interview with IRIB.

Reply:  Miss Lee! Iranians are interested in Korea and Koreans with their great Historty, Culture and Civilization too, that glance like a valuable jewel in South Eastern of Asia.

Taking part in the exhibition, Yangom was encircled by many of her fans, taking part in another interview with IRIB, speaking about her deep passion with Persian culture and Iranian people, showing the meaninglessness of geographical borders and frontiers when “Love” and “Peace” comes around and this appreciating human sense is nothing to do with borders, places and times.

    I knew this actress (Lee Young Ae), I've ever seen her movie. Indonesian likes playing Korean movie and I like Korean movie, so I knew many Korean actress, including her. I think the title of the movie is Jewel in the Palace (I wish I'm right saying it).

    Yes u right...Korean movies are good but not all of them.
    They still need experience.

    Wow... I think you understand very well about movie. Maybe ... not all of them like you said but many of them are good and I like them. I think Korean movie is better than Taiwan movie, Chinese and Japanese movie (in drama movie, NB : because I like Japanese scream/horror movie)

    Our Channels rarely played far east movies...
    Mostly American & European Movies are played.
    By the way produceing movies in our country is well, as most of them in world's international film festivals took best prices.
    It's just recently that we see movies from Korea.
    Just the Jewel in Palace & Sea Emperor were most famous Korean TV Serieses in IRAN.
    Probabley the World's latest TV serieses and movies are played in IRAN.
    But those which are non-sexual. Our Media Organization censeurs, sexual and rude scenes so there are no limitation for children to watch these movies.
    And I don't think so about Japanese scream/horror movies.

The White House Is Influenced by Iranian Culture

Uncategorized 2008/04/03 10:59

Finally George W. Bush and the White House as a whole, shows the first signs of respecting IRAN and Persian Culture.


I can surely say, contrary to what American and European politicians say about IRAN and Iranians as a whole, and other political actions against IRAN such as:
Making anti-Iranian films like: Alexander, 300, Never Without My Daughter, and etc; that mostly supported by ethnocentric Zionist regime like Warner Brothers Corporation, and the black propaganda of  American-Zionist “Mercenary Medias” like FOX NEWS; most of West Culture influenced by Persian Culture as you see above.

The West knows better that it's Christmas customa like Santa Claus and Christmas Pine tree, was picked out from Persian Culture when the young Europe had choosen Christianity as it's religion.

    Wow, you're so conscious!
    So, the Christmas Pine is actually from Iran?
    & do Christmas custom like Santa Claus come from Iran?

    NB: Yup! And now, American & European politicians are so enthusiastic in talking about nuclear in Iran. Nevertheless, I like the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (am I true with the name?) I'm proud of him. He's so smart and wise in answering and facing all of thins. Not only in Iran, I think many opinions from American and European politicians are wrong about many things in The Middle East Country. Sorry... And they like to act what they want .

    • Xerxes 2008/04/20 11:38 PermalinkModify/Delete

      Thanx for the questions that u ask and thanx for ur honesty and kindness...

      Its all right about the customs like Santa Claus and Christmas Pine that was picked out from Persian Cultures, It means that from Ancient Persian Cultures in 2,500 years ago.

      NB: About Pres Ahmadinejad I can say that yes he is smart and calm in facing with the strange questions, but there's sth and that's it: Some politicians criticize him because of he's honesty in public that tells some details...
      The other one about wrong policies that adopted in Middle East, u r right,West made a lot of mistake IRAN too [Not that much that West did] but its who's fault?!!? IRAN in Middle East or West from thousands Km distance?!?!?!?
      It's IRAN's and other M.E countries right to make decision about the region...
