文化的背景

In classical poetry, 'Sar be mohr' often refers to the 'Wine of Paradise' or 'Divine Secrets' that are not accessible to the uninitiated. Government and educational institutions use 'Sar be mohr' for exam papers (Konkur) to ensure no leaks occur before the nationwide test. The 'Seal of Prophethood' (Khatam-al-Anbiya) is a related concept, where the 'seal' represents the completion and locking of a divine cycle. Keeping someone's secret 'Sar be mohr' is a high form of loyalty in Iranian friendships, often linked to the concept of 'Amanat' (trust).
