The Qanats of Khorasan were the driving force of two important cultural indicators: knowledge and lifestyle. The knowledge of Qanat included sciences that were based on engineering and geology and were inherited from one generation to the next. On the other hand, around the Qanat, a culture was formed that promoted adaptation to drought, contentment in water consumption, and the benefit of collective work, and it had become the lifestyle of Khorasan people. This culture was alive and dynamic until the beginning of the modern era, but with the entry into the modern era and the decline of the Qanatic civilization, the Qanats of Khorasan were destroyed and its surrounding culture was also destroyed. The present article is limited to the geography of Khorasan in order to deal with more details of the historical developments of the Qanat in one of Iran's Qanat-rich provinces and to obtain a better understanding of the overall issue of the Qanat. The main question is what is the history of Qanat in Khorasan and what kind of culture was it? According to the nature of the subject, descriptive and analytical methods will be used in the evaluation of historical and geographical data.

Rural issues are very complex and deep issues, most of which are penetrated by the socio-economic-cultural structure of the villages and become part of the rural living and livelihood components. If you look at the rural issues with a simple, one-way perspective (eg, purely economic), you will not be able to understand their depth. Behind many of the idioms and words of the village lies a lot of deep-rooted culture. The current materialist world, and those who see the world, the city, the countryside, and the nomads as merely economic, statistical, rational, and statistical accounts, and seek development and growth through mere figures, are doomed to naivety and simplism. If all things, especially cultural-social relations, were viewed with pure economic vision, the culture of the superior economy would gradually overshadow the whole world. It will lead to nonsense, the absurdity and the unity of life everywhere and everywhere. Walnuts are a word and a fruit. In the statistics books against the word walnut, a few more figures are not mentioned. For example, Iran's walnut production in the year 1367 was 55 thousand tons or its production in Khorasan in the years 1372 and 1373 was 6613 and 4952 tons, respectively. But walnuts, especially in mountainous areas (such as dates in warm regions and olives in the Mediterranean), are an important cultural and social factor that has a very long history. Those who are familiar with the school of construction or structuralism know what part of being a constituent means.

Vegetable containers were produced as a hand-made, hand-crafted, and decorative art based on the needs of human societies. In the contemporary era, under the influence of industrial life and the transition from a migrant society to an industrial society, industrial containers replaced artistic and applied arts. In areas such as the immigrant societies in Khorasan and in the Bar area in particular, the production of traditional dishes and the use of its herb paste to store native secondary products is limited and the way of making it is not forgotten. In the present research, the process of production of such containers has been investigated within the context of the migration system of the societies and with a descriptive-analytical approach. The most important finding of the study is that this mode of production is due to the lifestyle and traditions of the community and its mode of production based on the system of division of family labor and represents a kind of mechanical order among these societies.
