Abstract

Zourkhaneh sports, as a symbol of the culture and history of Pahlavani in Iran, are recognized not only as sports venues but also as social and cultural institutions with a profound impact on the customs and traditions of Iranians. This article examines the role of Zourkhaneh sports in promoting chivalry, ethics, and Islamic principles, demonstrating how this culture has contributed to the preservation and strengthening of the social and cultural identity of Iranians. Utilizing a library research methodology, the study analyzes the history, structure, and educational philosophy of Zourkhaneh and explores its connection to the school of chivalry and honor. The findings indicate that Zourkhaneh, as a cultural heritage, has played a significant role in shaping and promoting moral and social values throughout Iranian history and can serve as a model for enhancing solidarity and cooperation in contemporary society. Additionally, this article provides practical strategies and suggestions for promoting and reviving Zourkhaneh culture in today’s society, contributing to the development and reinforcement of social and ethical values in future generations.
