Iran - Culture | | Iran - Culture: Encyclopedia II - Iran - Culture | | Iran has a long history of art, music, architecture, poetry, philosophy, Traditions, and ideology. Many Iranians believe their culture to be the one and only reason why their civilization has continuously survived thousands of years of turmoil.
که ایران بهشت است یا بوستان
همی بوی مشک آید ار دوستان
"Whether one thinks of Iran as Eden or Garden,
The smell of musk abounds there from friend and companion."

همه عالم تن است و ایران دل
نیست گوینده زین قیاس خجل
"Iran is The Heart and all the universe The Body,
Of this claim, the poet feels no regret or humility."
--Nizami
Persian literature is also highly regarded. The Persian language being used for over 2500 years has left distinct marks in the history of the written word. Poets such as Hafez, Omar Khayyam, and Ferdowsi, Iranian poetry has received world wide attention for their beautiful poems and songs.
With 300 international awards in the past 25 years, films from Iran continue to be celebrated worldwide. Perhaps the best known director is Abbas Kiarostami. All media in Iran are controlled directly or indirectly by the state and must be approved by the Ministry of Islamic Guidance. This includes the Internet, which has become an expanding means to accessing information and self expression among the younger population. Iran is now the world's fourth largest country of bloggers.
The quest for Social justice and equity is an important Iranian cultural trait. Respect for the elderly and hospitality for the foreigners are also integral part of the Iranian etiquette.
The Iranian new year (Norouz) is celebrated on March 21, which is the first day of the month of Farvardin and coincidentally the first day of spring. Norouz has been nominated as one of the "Masterpieces of the Intangible Heritage of Humanity" by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO in 2004.
Persian cuisine has gained the reputation throughout the world as one of the richest, healthiest and finest.
