Old, classic Persian literature is overwhelmed with symbols about changing of seasons and status of human that are transferred generations to generations orally and chest to chest in the forms of long and short narrations and parables that finally reached to present generation in its today from. “The legend of Uncle Norouz love to Old Lady of Coldness” is an ancient legend that its ancientness is perhaps of two thousand years. In Iran’s ancient stories, Uncle Norouz is the symbol of arriving of spring, freshness, and germination. It is one of the symbols of Norouz (Iranian New Year). Opposing him, we have the character of Old Lady of Coldness who is a symbol of freeze and immobility. In fact, these two characters are symbols of passing from the old year to the new one. When the Old Lady of Coldness takes the winter coldness with herself, Uncle Norouz brings the news of the arrival of spring. Uncle Norouz and the Old Lady of Coldness have the chance to meet each other just in the last moments of changing the years and they have the chance to be with each other just at those moments.
