The concept of red mentioned 468 times in Shahname Ferdosi. Sometimes mentioned the exact word of red"Sorkh" and sometimes mentioned indirectly like using the flowers, Diamonds, blood and natural stuff which represent red color.
Ferdosi"the poet" used red more than120 time as a symbol of beauty. Also red color is a symbol of love,for example, in the story of Zal and Roodabeh, the gifts are red and camels which carry them have red hair and the Sheild of warriors which came for welcoming is red.
