Abstract

Common culture arises from the depth of human life steeped in unsaid contents and key notes about the life of tribes and nations during various eras. In fact, these proverbs are the manifestations of common cultures of tribes and nations holding different features, although presenting and teaching moral, didactic and educative contents related to the development of people’s lives is considered as their most basic feature. The present descriptive-analytic study has been carried out by library sources and fields relying on the aforesaid feature. Therefore, Lakish Proverbs have been singled out from original Iranian people to be analyzed in terms of having moral, didactic and educative contents. The findings reveal that Lakish proverbs include moral, didactic and educative contents demonstrating the importance of these proverbs among Laks. Furthermore, the results prove the maximum use and the educative role of these proverbs in the life of this Iranian tribe. Besides, these proverbs include extensive moral, didactic and educative contents like “livelihood”, “communication”, “planning and managing affairs”, “marriage”, “Divine beliefs”, “business and partnership”, “nurture issues”, “moral virtues”, and “immoralities”.
