Abstract
As an ancient heritage of the Zagros people, the oak is a symbol of tenacity, uprightness, stability, resistance, victory, immortality, transformation, and dissent. The most magical oak of the Zagros is the oak of love in Rashk of Mamsani, whose all-encompassing umbrella has resonated the elixir of dissent in northern Fars. On the other side of the coin, the holy lotus with the identities of holiness, immortality, tenacity, survival, blessing, longevity, rooting, fertility and birth, support, security, elevation, loneliness, introversion, isolation, and sadness is located, which has emitted religious, mystical, and otherworldly energy in southern Fars. The metaphor of the oak and the side is not only focused on the personal, social and economic life of the people of Fars, but can also overshadow their type of activism in the political sphere. Therefore, the current article seeks to explain the geography of the body of the oak in love and the side of the holy lotus in Fars during the fourteenth presidential election? The research method is qualitative and analytical through a combination of library resources, field monitoring and statistics. The results show that the geography of the body of the oak in love has led people in northern Fars towards dissident/reformist ideas in support of Masoud Pezeshkian. On the other hand, the geography of the body of the holy lotus has led people in southern Fars towards fundamentalist/principled ideas in support of Saeed Jalili. However, there are some discrepancies in the voting pattern of the northern and southern counties of Fars (failure to follow the geography of the body of the oak in love and the side of the holy lotus) that can be identified; Meanwhile, the voting population of central, western, and eastern Fars has a contradictory body geography.
