        Sign-semantic is a new method in literary criticism that has never claimed to be an alternative to other approaches to literary criticism, but seeks to open new windows in meaning that are different from cognitive and superficial perceptions. This method challenges the depth and connection of words, and leads us to new and dynamic concepts. This research intends, by descriptive-analytical method; The anecdote (parrot and merchant) examines one of the most valuable mystical and allegorical anecdotes of the first book of Masnavi from the point of view of semantics, in order to explain the means of explaining the meaning and the conditions of the actor crossing limited structural boundaries and reaching the transcendental and aesthetic meaning. The active-shushi parrot rises so high in the ranks beyond an ordinary chicken that by distancing itself from the material, it becomes a living and guiding hen and transcends in the direction of divine unity, and the active trader is transformed in the face of deep emotional tension. And in breaking with himself, he walks on the path of happiness and reaches intuitive cognition. Manuscript profile

Cognitive discourse has a more important position in hadigheh anecdote as a mystical discourse, and according to the approach of such discourse, the cognitive process takes a different and sometimes different path in hadigheh anecdote. In the cognitive discourses of Hadigheh Sanaee, factors such as the relationship between effective verb knowing and believing with the question of cognition are discussed and also the relationship between the angle of vision and cognition is discussed.

In this approach, the process of producing meaning is linked to sensory-perceptual conditions, and signs, along with meaning, become fluid, dynamic, plural, and multidimensional. Considering the interpretability and breadth of meaning that can be seen in the mystical anecdotes of Masnavi. This approach was the basis of research in the story of the king and the maid from the first book of Rumi's Masnavi. The present paper, in a descriptive-analytical manner, seeks to examine the types of discourse systems used in this story. The results of this study indicate that discourse is dynamic and discourse evolution has given special effects to the story. Discourse systems have components of action, tension, enlightenment, with phenomenal, transcendental, ecstatic, ethical and cultural functions, and the action system based on stress with high emotional pressure has the most pivotal role. Also in the analysis of the text, how to produce and defer the meaning based on the functions discussed, is explained.Keywords: Sign - Semantics, Narrative, Spiritual Masnavi, King and Slave, Action, Tension, Susa.

        Animals play an allegorical and symbolic role, apart from being rich in content and the attractiveness of the stories, the poets and writers of the texts of order and prose use their allegorical approach more to fulfill ethical, educational, social and political goals. In these tales, there is more than thought, passion, deception, greed, craziness, deceit, deception, and action in action. In this article, the criterion of the selection of stories is the presence of animal characters active in events and events. Often in these tales only the animal character speaks, sometimes it acts in the nature of animals and has animal motives and sometimes includes motives and deeds attributed to humans. Any trick and no means of thinking can not be done, but must be accompanied by the counsel of the wise. In this research, which has been done in a fundamental way based on library studies and descriptive-analytical method, it has been shown that the dictates are practiced as an opponent, and the hero originally derives from a perceptual mistake that is based on habit.

        Major part of Sufi unparagraphed prose is educational prose that includes training the principles and basics of the religious beliefs and the mystical on the one hand, and promoting the mysticism and Sufism among the common people and the middle, on the other hand. It should be indicated here that a kind of educational and promotional unparagraphed prose of the gatherings is Sufi preaching. Holding preaching meetings and in a sense, “parliamentary accountability " was an ancient tradition in Iran after Islam and has been considered as a method of understanding the education and promotion of the religious and mystical beliefs.  Since the audiences of the preaching assemblies were the common people and the middle and had no ability to perceive the rational arguments like that, eloquent has been attempted to utter the issues in a tangible and perceivable manner for them and was trying to make clear and explain the topics using examples, parables, anecdotes and such cases instead of ratiocinate. In this study, the author, by looking at the prose of Sufi educational assemblies, intends to analyze the plurality of anecdote, parable and allegory, one of the most obvious features such unparagraphed prose and also to investigate of the eloquent and scribes’ objectives and purposes applying these tools and elements in those meetings.

        Mystics’ absence of the specification of explanatory fundamentals and the ambiguity in their method of interpretations leds to a supposition towards mystical interpretations not being consistent with the common ways of comprehending a text, and the assumption of mystical interpretations being merely the result of the mystic’s passions and personal tastes and them being based on the recollection of meanings and without the terms’ implications was created. and this is only when the mystical interpreter, in quoting Allah’s intention, regards the external dimension of the verses’ meanings as being in the possession of a special authenticity, topicality and aims to achieve Allah’s way of expressing his understanding of the intention. The discovery and intuition distinguished from that of the external meaning of the verses’ was considered signs of the intuition being diverted and concealed in the mystic’s definition. Mystical ontology assigns a being to the world’s external dimensions. As a result, the mystical interpreter doesn't confine his interpretation solely to the external implications of terms and attempts to draw his own manifestation of intuitive meanings by firstly taking into account the outer realities of verses and secondly resorting to such intermediaries as dream, allegory, story, preaching, hadith. This paper attempts to analyse the place of quranic terms and the verses’ external realities in the mystic’s innovative mind and tries to prove that what the mystic intuitively witnesses get categorized as the common meaning of interpretation and longitudinal exegesis presented by the mystics.

        Marzbannameh has played an important role in the history of Iranian civilization and Islamic societies. This book focuses on human and community attitudes in traditional society. Most of Marzbannameh's stories are allegorical and animalistic. The main reason for using animal characters is probably political and social content. Borderline stories illustrate the function of power in societies. By analyzing the anecdote, one can examine the structure of political culture and its impact on individual and social behaviors. The prevailing political culture in society is related to human relations. In this anecdote, the allegorical characters are the successor characters, that is, the animal is the successor to the thinking, the mood, and the intended concepts of the author and narrator. In this study, the lion, as a symbol of power, is at the top of the pyramid of power, and the force that causes the lion to occupy such a position is his power, power, and dominance over others. The ruler or ruler in the hierarchy of power must delegate duties and responsibilities to persons who have the competence, competence, and ability to perform those tasks, and are not disruptive of order and security as they enter the lion's court. From the educational point of view, we can also mention the losses of the oppression and the consequence of the oppressors of the oppressors of the foregoing and the impatient extremists who seek to preserve their lives, their political position and their status.

        Tone is the method of reading words and sentences in the text space; it originates from individual and collective beliefs and moral, spiritual and psychological characteristics of individuals, which are combined with the rhetoric, form and structure of poetry. Tone has always been considered as one of the most important elements of creating space and influencing the audience, because it expresses the inner feelings and emotions of the author. Based on the chosen subject, an author should be able to choose, far from artificiality, a tone that suits his/ her text. After introducing the tone, its types and manner of its formation, this descriptive-analytical study tries to consider the tone of Attār of Nishapur in opposition to the worldly authorities in the book of Mantiq-u-Tayr and to introduce its different types. The results of the study show that anecdotes are one of the most important areas of tone expression, because they are dialogue-oriented and are formed in dialogue. Attār of Nishapur has created different tones in composing Mantiq-u-Tayr, as one of the most important works of mystical poetry. In general, the tone of protest, especially the protest against the rulers and sultans in his works is more noticeable than other tones. Attār uses a variety of tones against those in power, including the protest tone, the preaching tone, the warning tone, etc., each of which is described separately     Manuscript profile

        Forgiveness is among human and moral concepts which has highly been dealt with in our literary texts. It specially holds a prominent place in didactic and mystic works and has been in particular and individually referred to in some texts; contrary to expectations, however, there is no chapter dedicated specifically to this concept in the works created by Saadi. It has rather been briefly pointed out in his anecdotes. At first, he attributes this trait to the God and correlates it with the “concealing” attribute of the God. He, then, invites regnant in his aphorisms to show forgiveness. That might be the reason why the concept is more referred to in the first chapter (Kings’ Way of Life). As Saadi puts it, the kings, who often had erratic nature and handed down stiff sentences, mostly forgave disfavored through intermediation of third parties, considering an elegant speech or an epigram favored by his royal nature , a reply or reasoning by the disfavored or someone else or beholding a behavior exhibited by the disgraced. He attributes the trait to the God’s fellows as well and regarding Dervish ethics tells two anecdotes validating this statement. It is worthwhile mentioning that regardless of all his commendations concerning forgiveness, he believes that the kings sometimes offer forgiveness unduly and by mistake to oppressors and corrupt agents.

        Due to attachment to certain principles such as the supreme system of creation, determinism and fatalism, submission in faith and also because of the inclination towards endurance and idleness in behavior, mysticism fundamentally has not much objection to the present state of affairs however the fact is that in practice the complaint of the great sufi figures of their times and their people in general is not less significant than that of the other classes.  The root of these dissatisfactions should be sought in what factors?  The truth is that in many periods the country had undergone such agitation and turbulence that even great sufi figures had begun to raise their voices.  In addition to the worldliness and indifference towards religious teachings particularly oblivion of the remembrance of God from the mind, and tongue of people, and those in power in everyday life and formation of conflicts between fanatical groups, attachment to wealth and position by the religious authorities and certainly the sensitive temperament of sufi figures are among the influential factors causing dissatisfactions.
