Abstract
In the past, the occupation of Zoroastrian men was agriculture and animal husbandry, and Zoroastrian women inherited the spinning and textile arts of previous generations, especially the Sassanid period. Women's occupations complemented men's occupations, turning non-food products into clothing. Sericulture also had a long history, and silkworm breeding was a domestic and favorite occupation of Zoroastrian women. The relationship between male and female occupations promoted a culture of "Hamazuri". The transfer of traditional Zoroastrian textile techniques coincided with the spinning of fibers and the narration of the oral stories of DariBehdini, the "Serpent King".The telling of these stories led to the formation and promotion of proverbs. The connection of the Iranians with the Persian trade of India made the traditional textile commercial and industrial and caused the destruction of the techniques and equipments of art "KāroČāle". In addition, the traditional spinning of Zoroastrian women, which was accompanied by these stories, disappeared. Valuable points, in addition to recording part of the folklore literature, is the influence and relationship between the stories of the serpent king and the traditional spinning of Iranian Zoroastrian women. Method of data collection in the form of field and library interviews; It is a descriptive-analytical comparison approach.
