The present study tries to analyze some conceptual metaphors in the Bustan, using insights from cultural linguistics. The data analyzed shows that through a cultural model, the word del, productively, embodies the mind of Persian speakers via conceptualizing emotions (love, happiness, and grief), mental faculties (understanding, thinking), cultural values (munificence, truth), character traits (atrocity, awareness) and materials (garden, mirror). In fact, we can recognize del as the prototypical body-part term used in conceptualizing emotions, especially “love” and “sadness”. The present study reveals that the formation of body-part expressions is in accordance with metaphorical systems, exploiting image schema, metaphor, and metonymy
