Semiotics is the knowledge and skill of studying, interpreting, and reinterpreting signs. In this type of study, signs are reread based on the horizon of coexistence and substitution of textual elements and propositions and considering the integrity of the text itself. Re-readings also establish the process of interpretations and interpretations reveal themselves based on the context, context and audience of the texts. These interpretations are the most essential means for the continuity and permanence of the texts and their hidden ideas in the diverse worlds of human culture and thought and society. Among the semiotic approaches, Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic approach is one of the viewpoints that relies on context, text context, interpretation and reinterpretation of signs. Among the language and thought tools, narratives, especially the story-like type, are considered one of the oldest and most common tools for revealing the meanings and the semantic expression of signs. Since popular narratives carry different cultural and ritual ideas and expressions that are made and discussed in different contexts, contexts and symptoms. This article is based on the mentioned semiotic approach to investigate one of the most basic signs of popular narratives; It means the tree and its various meanings. This research, with a descriptive and analytical-interpretive method, with the aim of revealing the different and common themes and meanings of tree symptoms in the narratives and thoughts of their narrators, explores the function of these symptoms in the structure and superstructure of the narratives. Based on this research and analysis, the tree is one of the natural and influential phenomena in the human mentality that establishes a special sign system in popular narratives that implies various themes. Among these themes are holiness, immortality, taboo and centrism. Such themes, along with their special symptomatic and denotative structure, systematize the world of popular narratives. Although such themes are as old and rooted as human life; But it is still one of the basic needs of the world and modern human life in interaction with nature, society, ethics and spiritual horizons..
