Persia and Iran

Persia is an old transliteration of Iran in Europe. Historically, many empires have been established in this southwest Asian region. In its heyday, its territory reached Pakistan in the east, Turkey in the northwest, Macedonia and Thrace in Europe, and Egypt in the southwest. Since 600 years ago, the Greeks have put this area

The Sassanian dynasty in 600 AD was called "Persia". The name comes from a region of Persia, pars. Until 1935, Europeans used Persia to refer to this region and the countries located in this region. Persians, on the other hand, began to call their country "Iran" from the Sassanian dynasty, which means "home of Aryans".

1935, King Reza Khan of Persia declared that the country should be called "Iran" internationally. But the word Persia was still used after that.

In Chinese, "Persia" is used to describe things before 1935, or things that people have had since ancient times, such as Persian language and Persian carpets. The word "Iran" is used in modern politics and economy.
