Abstract

Conceptual metaphor in the context of cognitive semantics emphasizes the role of experiences in structuring categories of the mind and perceiving concepts. The elements of nature are one of the most experimental fields for explaining the mystical worldview. Since the sea and the sun are two great and majestic phenomena, they have attracted the attention of Rumi in depiction; Therefore, in this research, we have aimed to examine the conceptual metaphor of the perfect man, relying on the two elements of the sea and the sun, in order to explain the attributes and role of the perfect man. statistical society is the first office of Maulana's masnavi.The data analysis method is descriptive with analytical content. This research shows that "Sun" and "Sea" in the first book of Rumi's Masnavi, as two colorful elements, serve to explain Rumi's worldview towards the perfect human being, with all their manifestations, and clarify concepts such as " Survival is "unity", "destruction" and "the need to work with the old". The results of this research show that Rumi created a network of metaphors by using the metaphorical aspects of the sun and the sea and related and contrasting image clusters, all of which represent the macro metaphor of "Man is the perfect light" and "the perfect man is the sea". These sub-metaphors are: sun, moon, star, lamp, oyster, fish and pearl, all of which explain the position and role of a perfect human being. The roles of a perfect human are: guidance, therapy and improvement.
