Abstract
Sitting in Iranian culture has been associated with certain customs and splendor since ancient times, to the extent that Iranians needed to learn these customs and apply them in their daily life in order to interact with each other. The culture of sitting among communities is influenced by the customs and social factors of the community and is highly influential on the social and cultural structures and is considered a factor for the cultural differences of the communities with each other, and therefore, in the political dimension, it provides the grounds for ceremonial and diplomatic disagreements. The culture of sitting and the manners related to the order and priority of sitting have long been a factor for the cultural difference between Iran and European societies. This article tries to raise the issue of sitting manners in Iran during the Qajar eras, the influence of the style of sitting in Iran's ceremonial relations with foreign countries, and basically the Europeans' view of Iranian sitting culture, and to answer these questions, what is the sitting culture in Iran during the qajar era. Has it been light? What effect has the sitting style of Iranians had on foreign relations and diplomatic ceremonies? What change has the introduction of artefacts such as chairs made in ceremonial instructions? The importance of this issue is to express the cultural differences of the countries, the differences of ceremonial opinion, and in the diplomatic aspect, to introduce a background of the basics of ceremonies in Iran.
