In addition, cultural symbols can mean different things from person to person, even if they are lived in the same society. On the other hand, these symbols may vary in meaning as a result of the context in which people use the symbols, and to transfer a culture from generation to generation. Cultural symbols constitute the smallest level and oldest core of culture, which serves to internalize unity, belonging and reconciliation (Nazlı, 2018). It is known that Anatolian stories/narratives, which have been told from ancient times to the present, contain information bearing the truth about the past by describing supernatural events, beings, and changes. So much so that it is considered as one of the factors that affect the formation of culture and form the identity of the nation (Bulduk, 2016). Although we do not know where they actually come from and what meanings they have, the symbols that exist in our culture play a big role in making us feel like we belong to our own culture.}, pages = {129--134}, title = {Unknowns of Cultural Symbols: Research on Cultural Symbols and Social Belongings}, year = {2022} }
