system of religion founded in Persia in the 6th century BC by Zoroaster; set forth in the Zend-Avesta; based on concept of struggle between light (good) and dark (evil)
In Zoroastrianism, the elements are sacred and the body is corrupt. 根据索罗亚斯德教教规，大自然元素是神圣庄严的，而人的身体却是腐朽的。
But the religious fermentation of the world did not leave the supremacy of Zoroastrianism undisputed in the Persian Empire. 但世间的宗教动荡并没有让袄教在波斯帝国享有不可争议的独尊地位。
