The Real World Origin of the Sabzeruz Festival! | Nowruz Holiday Special!

Happy Nowruz! Terry breaks down every reference to Iranian New Year's in this short break down video. Sumeru has a large number of cultures used as inspiration so don't be surprised if I do another video like this in the future! It will probably be Ancient Egypt next.

I'm currently working on a longer video about every Yugioh reference in Genshin. Which is why this is a quicker one. But I still hope I was able to cover everything.

nowruz mobarak! may spring take root in all of our hearts and remind us of the joys of life that we will hopefully all celebrate in freedom one day.

Cringe take about Benoit Blanc & Phillip but:

Did they meet in a coffee shop? At the bookstore?

Maybe at a flower shop? Was Phillip the hot neighborhood florist who always seemed a lil bit too taken with his job to be taken by anyone else until that one hot eccentric detective showed up at his store for a case and inquired about a plant related to a murder case. Phillip was a goner.

When Benoit asks for a specific type of plant, Phillip is a nervous wreck and rambles about all the plants in his store, how the humidity level has to be adjusted for each one according to their tastes, if glass cases or plastic coverings are better for growth for some of them, how his beloved venus fly trap requires at least 30min in the morning to gently wake her up and feed her an insect (flies smacked dead by Phillip are her favorite as opposed to already dead specimens he buys online, his search history is interesting). Benoit listens with apt interest, he doesnt interrupt him to inquire further about the specific flower he's looking for, he just listens and nods his head, sometimes writes stuff down.

Phillip is confused why the fuck THE Benoit Blanc would ask about a purple hyacinth but they ended up talking for 2 hours about the flower and religion and how, according to Greek mythology, Apollo created the flower after his dead lover Hyacinthus, whom Apollo accidentally killed, hence the flowers symbolizing sorrow and remorse.

The hyacinth flower is also used for Haftsin, a Persian custom for New Year's called Nowruz where seven beautiful items are symbolically gathered to celebrate the arrival of spring. All of the items are to start with the letter "S".

Coincidentally, the murder victim was Persian, an Iranian by the name of Samuel Safavi. And his boyfriend celebrated New Year's with him every year. Until this one.

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. How a flower can crack a case, it's- it's-"

Phillip supplied helpfully:"...brilliant?"

Benoit glanced at the handsome florist who had helped him solve the murder case and smiled, this time, it reached his eyes. "Yes... You wouldn't mind ponderin' for a lil while longer on this, would you? I wouldn't want to keep you from yer customers."

Phillip, flips the 'open' sign to 'closed':"I don't mind doing some poundi-pondering, pondering!" he held his empty cup in the air:"Um, tea?"

Benoit chuckles and they ponder over the case for a little while longer.

Benoit Blanc successfully apprehends the suspect, who had accidentally killed his boyfriend mid argument by touching his face with his hands after he had handled shellfish.

His boyfriend had been allergic to shellfish.

Benoit Blanc visits the little flower shop to find Phillip and thank him for his help, but unfortunately, it had been closed. Just as Benoit turned around to head back home, Phillip strolls from up behind him with grocery bags in his hands and a sheepish smile.

He sheepishly elaborates how he had bought too much food for himself and how it gets a little lonely in the flower shop and his apartment was right above it and he had turned the heater on. Benoit is perceptive enough to see through it and shyly accepts the invitation to dinner. The cute florist intrigues him just so, more than any case.

today we celebrate #nowruz, the persian new year and also the beginning of spring.

in the old persian folklore, nowruz told the story of amo nowruz (uncle nowruz) and nane sarma (grandma frost).

there are different versions of the story, but the version i know is that on the first day of spring every year, nane sarma waits for amo nowruz to come and visit her, after being away all year. but before he comes she always falls asleep from exhaustion. to show appreciation for her efforts and to let her know he passed by, he takes half of the haftsin she laid out on the table. when she wakes up she realizes that amo nowruz has come and gone, and so waits again for the next spring. they say that if the two of them see each other the world will be destroyed.

most depictions of amo nowruz and nane sarma are them in their old age. this is my take on the story of nowruz - of amo nowruz and nane sarma in their youth.

happy nowruz! !نوروز مبارک

Maryam Ghanbarian, an Iranian artist living and working in Tehran. Maryam tells:

"I was born and raised in Tehran. After I received my undergraduate degree I enrolled in the Masters Program in Fine Arts at Tehran University. Here I became interested in calligraphy as an art form and completed my Masters Thesis on this topic.

My work has been greatly influenced by calligraphy and its rich history and cultural significance. The elements were inspired by my memories of Nowruz from childhood. I think the wheatgrass (sabzeh) and the goldfish are among the most prominent elements of our haft-sîn...

Calligraphy is an art form that is deeply rooted in our culture and Iranian artists have created a unique place for it in our artistic tradition. Written words are like poetry."

From wikipedia -

Haftsin (Persian: هفت‌سین) is an arrangement of seven symbolic items whose names start with the letter "س" (pronounced as "seen"), the 15th letter in the Persian alphabet; "haft" (هفت) is Persian for "seven". It is traditionally displayed at Nowruz, the Iranian New Year, which is celebrated on the day of the vernal equinox, marking the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

Items of Haft-seen

A Haft-Sin Table, Tehran, Iran

The following are the primary items of Haft-seen, whose Persian names begin with the letter S in the Persian alphabet.

Sabzeh (سبزه) – wheat, barley, mung bean, or lentil sprouts grown in a dish.

Samanu (سمنو) – wheat germ sweet pudding.

Senjed (سنجد) – oleaster.

Serkeh (سرکه) – vinegar.

Seeb (سیب) – apple.

Seer (سیر) – garlic.

Somagh (سماق) – sumac.)

Graffiti written with a sharpie on what appears to be the back of a seat on public transit stating, “The first “sin” (letter “s”) of the haftsin (display of seven s’s) of 1402 (2023) is the overthrow of the clerics. (Overthrow is spelled with “sin”)

Done! I don’t really like the palette on this one and I wish I’d been more careful picking it, and Haven’s face looks kinda derpy in a way I couldn’t seem to fix. But the unicorn looks good! Yesterday was the start of Nowruz, the Persian New Year, though it’s celebrated by many other communities, including the Parsis of India, which Haven’s mother almost certainly was. I also think it’s a good guess her father was Marathi, and as it happens Gudi Padwa, the Marathi New Year, is today. So in front of them is the haftsin, the Nowruz table, and on either side are Gudi Padwa decorations. The background is hyacinths, which are an important part of Nowruz decor, and can also be seen on the table, along with an apple, painted eggs, sprout grass, garlic, and (fake) goldfish! Oh, and the unicorn is there because I wanted a goddamn unicorn, that’s all.

Nowruz at Penn

I attended the first ever multi-national Penn Nowruz celebration March 26th which was co-hosted by the Penn Center for East Asian Studies, the South Asia Center, the Middle East Center, Russian and East European Studies, and the Pan-Asian American Community House. The event was held in Williams Hall where multiple presentations were shared about how different countries celebrated Nowruz as well as Uzbekistani food being shared at sundown.

I was overall very surprised by how many different countries celebrated Nowruz where I had originally thought it was only a few. In fact, when I first arrived, I was one of the only Persians there. I specifically was lucky to learn in detail about how Nowruz is celebrated in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan as well as the Uyghur region in China which was interesting to compare to my previous knowledge about the Persian tradition of celebrating which was also presented by Professor Entezari at the event. I learned that most countries have a similar “haftsin” table spread with different items that begin with the letter “sin” and represent different signs of prosperity and new life. I also learned that Azerbaijan does a tradition similar to charshanbe suri where people jump over fires to represent overcoming evil as well as to take health from the fire.

After the presentations we were all treated to a performance of the two-stringed Kazakh guitar called the dombra by a Kazakh Penn student. We also enjoyed the Uzbekistani food which was quite different in taste from Persian food, for instance we ate samsas which are similar to samosas but are stuffed with meat and onions and oven baked.
