. In this paper, the present researchers tried to review the elements and components existing between the Safavid era and the principles and architectural techniques of that period; in this sense, purity and cleanliness are also introduced along with the concepts of hidden aspects and finding the water architecture. However, in order to solve the critical problems in the water sphere, the unique features of our culture and beliefs are of particular importance to Iranians at that time. Therefore, in this paper, emphasizing the ancient symbols and images that their secret, according to Jung, is unconscious, we emphasize the symbols and beliefs in the context of the culture of the Iranian society, whose various forms have emerged, especially in the ritual of purity and the purification forms allegorical and metaphorical forms in the form of arts or belief beliefs. These forms, which are rooted in mythological beliefs (also the myths), have been a religious practice, and in the structures of Islamic art, the sanctity and purification of the window of this form have entered the arena of art with the appearance of water, and in the streams of beliefs and signs and symbols. The architecture of Isfahan school is fertilized with the help of its knowledge of time, and neglecting it causes the decline and decline of the Safavid era, and its effects appear to continue in the subsequent periods.

In the long list of Iranian unpleasant traits! , the “untiming” and the irregularity has been considered as a significant component in (under)development and it is necessary to know whether this phenomenon is an emerging issue or has it always been for Iranians? If it is always, where is the root of this negligence? And if it is new, the reason(s) that our nation was struck with such neglect, descend from what, where and why? Is it true that the root of the negligence in timing comes from the rural culture that has “incarnated” in our cities? If this is true, what happened to the villagers in Iran and since when Iranian villagers have become a reference group for townspeople?! If this is a true statement that this situation is the result of and peasant livelihood and farming, how is the culture of production, agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry, beekeeping, aviculture and fishing, each with geographical orders and also plants and animal organism timing requirements over several thousand years, have been adapted with such “untiming” and disorder? Are the “untiming” and the irregularity derives from a consumer culture or a participatory one? Are today's Iranians affected by the subculture of rural production and their indigenous endemic culture, or influenced by consumer culture and exogenous factors? And finally, is the negligence about time and order in Iranian genetics or in their culture? And if it is in their culture and history, what are the origins of this “untiming” and cultural disarray?

It goes without saying that food is quite significant which is felt by biologists, psychologists and more importantly by people. However, some societies including Iranians have always witnessed various incidents for thousand years due to its specific geographical and historical condition, shortage of food and even water on the one hand, and many natural disasters and attacks by alien tribes on the other hand. Therefore, they have so much and sometimes unique experience in issues related to food security, management and storage. The said experiences unfortunately keep being forgotten. In most Iranian regions, there are mountains with water and no soil or deserts with soil and no water. Moreover, plants grow and agricultural, garden, and animal products are produced only in some months of the year. On the other hand, dangerous pests such as locust, age, color, natural disasters such as drought, untimely cold weather, flood, hail, and worst of all social insecurities including attacks on Iran which is a record-holder in this regard have all led to collection of experience in such special conditions so as to be used in such unlucky days of shortage or drought. Iranians have innovated various solutions to the extent that they have been able to store the most perishable foods such as milk for one week to two years. This is also true for vegetable, meat and fresh fruits. The present paper is the preliminary stage of a great work about traditional methods of food storage and traditional ways of fighting drought which have been applied by our ancestors for thousands of years. The paper aims at recording the latest experiences of old villagers and stories they have heard or applied about drought and different methods of combating it, food storage techniques and diet management at times of shortage before its too late. One of the findings is drawing of the preliminary graph of food classification in Iranian culture.
