The present study examines the conceptual metaphors of anger in the rituals of both Persian and Turkish proverbs. This study attempts to extract and collect the required data from 9 sources for both languages. By searching the sources, 28 proverbs in the field of anger and 19 mappings were found in these proverbs. It was also attempted to list the most frequent mappings in both languages, discretely and separately. Along with mapping, the most frequent source domains were also identified and introduced to determine which speakers of these two languages were most likely to use the mapping and source domains to express anger metaphorically. In Farsi, it was found that mapping "anger is fire" and in Turkish, mapping "anger is ignorance / ignorance" were the most frequent. Regarding the source domains, the most frequent ones used to conceptualize anger are the "light and dark" source domains in the Persian language, and the "human / human body" in the Turkish language, respectively, and the frequency of occurrence was in each of the progenitors. Performed Analyses suggest that although some speakers of the two languages use a single cultural pattern to produce anger metaphor, cultural differences also appear to produce different mappings.
