/kloc-0 At the beginning of the 20th century, Parthia entered the so-called "anti-Hellenization" period. Prior to this, the Parthian ruling class pursued the experience of classical Greek style, used Greek, appreciated Greek drama and advocated Greek customs; However, most of the conquered areas have not been infiltrated by Greek culture and have always maintained the ancient Iranian cultural tradition. When Parthia's kingship declined, provincial governors and tribal leaders became independent (18 small kingdoms appeared after the middle of the 20th century), and the awakening of national consciousness became the mainstream. At the same time, Parthians accepted Zoroastrianism (Zoroastrianism, Zoroastrianism).

Clothing. Clothing.

The bronze statue of the famous rest aristocrat found in Elimaishami can be used as an example to illustrate the riding clothes of the rest people. This 1.9-meter-high stone statue is wearing a V-shaped coat, a V-shaped tunic is tied with a belt, loose folded trousers are fixed with garters, and a Wang Mian or headband is worn on the combed short hair. In the first century BC, this kind of clothing was often carved on rest coins. The sculpture excavated in Halat, northwest Iraq, is an example inspired by the rest clothes. The erected statue shows typical casual shirts, trousers and accessories. The nobles of Halat also accepted the short hair, headscarves and sacrificial robes of the nobles of the Rest Court. The image on the coin shows that the King of Rest will wear a trousers suit, and the trousers suit of Rest Empire will be awarded to Baal Milla and Syria together with the art of frontal portrait of Rest. Sculptures of the Rest empire depict rich women wearing long-sleeved robes, necks, earrings and headdresses decorated with jewels. The folding skirt is fixed on one shoulder with a pin, and the veil is hung behind the headscarf.

As can be seen from the coins of the Rest Empire, the headscarf worn by the Rest King will change with time. The earliest coins in which the empire rested showed that the ruler wore a soft hat with the brim pulled off, called a hood and a cold scarf. This probably evolved from the headscarves worn by the rulers of the Achemane dynasty and the pointed hats displayed on the reliefs of Apush and Persepolis. The earliest coins of Mitridati I showed that he was wearing a soft hat, but later coins showed that he was wearing a Greek Wang Mian. Mitridati II was the first king to display a rest triple crown decorated with jewels and pearls on a coin. The headscarf he wore was welcomed by the rest empire and the late Sassanian kings.

pottery

Parthian pottery mainly produced glazed pottery, especially green glazed pottery, which was quite popular. Archaeologists found pottery workshops and a large number of glazed pottery products at the Rojos site in Durayu. Most of them are two-eared pots, big-mouthed pots, three-eared pots, two-eared pots and small water irrigation. These pots look like their mouths are turned up, and the handles are hand-made, pressing vertically on the ampulla, and decorated with mud spots such as Ding marks. The overall shape has the characteristics of metal utensils.

literature

During the reign of Parthian Empire, court bards recited poetic oral literature with music, but these poems did not spread to Sassanian Dynasty. In fact, after many centuries, the rest of the words have no literary origin. Although the times are far apart, the love story Weiss and Rāmin and the epic of Kaiyang Dynasty are considered to be part of the oral literature anthology in the emperor's rest period. Although the rest of the literature is not reflected in the text, there is evidence that the rest of the people recognize and value the written Greek literature.

religion

The Parthian Empire was made up of different politics and cultures. The king of Parthia, like the ruler of Seleucus, regarded himself as a god.

The degree of Zoroastrianism worship of the remaining people is still a controversial issue in modern academic circles. For Zoroastrians in the Parthian Empire, it may be unacceptable to sacrifice blood to Iranian gods.

Mani, the founder of Manichaeism, did not reveal his religious revelation before 229 AD, but Bival thought that his new religious belief contained "elements of Manda belief, Iranian cosmology and even the echo of Christianity" ... reflecting the combination of religious beliefs at the end of the Rest Empire.

The orthodox Zoroastrianism of Sassanians soon swept them out of the house. "

At present, there is no archaeological evidence to prove that Buddhism was introduced into Iran from your empire. However, according to the data in China, during the Han Dynasty, a Parthian noble monk named An Shigao went to Luoyang, China, and translated many Buddhist scriptures into Chinese.
