Over time, folk wisdom took on a verbal form, turning into popular proverbs and sayings that are actively used in speech to this day, because sometimes just one phrase is enough to describe an entire event or explain to someone the essence of everything that is happening.

And the most famous proverbs, which are based on the centuries-old experience of an entire people, should not only be forgotten, but also told to your own children, explaining in detail the complex meaning of these seemingly absolutely simple and ingenuous phrases. At the same time, it is best to try to use the most famous Russian proverbs in everyday conversations, inserting one or another saying at every opportunity, so that it is easier for the child to understand their hidden meaning.

So, for example, you can slightly scold your child by telling him the well-known proverb “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” and immediately explaining that in this case it means bad upbringing or heredity. It is noteworthy that the frequent use of proverbs helps to instill in a child a love of work and good deeds, and as an example we can cite such folk pearls as “The work of the master is afraid”, “Without labor you cannot pull a fish out of a pond”, “Water does not flow under a lying stone” ”, “Water wears away the stone”, “Do the job - walk boldly”, “Patience and work will grind everything down” and so on and so forth.

We should not forget about the relationships between people, which are very well reflected in such proverbs and sayings as “An old friend is better than two new ones”, “With such friends you don’t even need enemies”, “To live with wolves is to howl like a wolf”, “ Don’t show your whole face to your dog-husband”, “A gray beard is a devil in the ribs”, “The neighbor won’t let you sleep because he lives well”, “Seven nannies have a child without an eye”, etc. It is extremely important to be able to explain what words used in folklore do not necessarily have to be taken literally, because we are talking about comparisons and associations. Thus, the proverb “The first pancake is lumpy” is interpreted as failure in a new business, “Birds of a feather” - the similarity in the character and behavior of two or more people, “Not in the eyebrow, but in the eye” - getting to the very essence of what is happening, a clear concept and awareness of his meaning, “A tongue without bones” - an overly talkative person who can talk to anyone. The famous proverb “Chickens are counted in the fall” actually contains almost a biblical meaning, calling for patience and a kind of humility, because it was not without reason that the Holy Scripture said “And the last will become first.”

When listing the most famous proverbs and their meaning, one should not ignore the oral folk art that touches the lowest strings of the human soul, because they contain all the bitterness of human experience. “The dog barks, the wind blows” - this wisdom advises not to pay attention to the talk of evil people, because they essentially do not solve anything, “Your shirt is closer to the body” reminds that even the most compassionate and devoted friend is not capable of seriously sacrificing himself for the sake of other people’s interests, “What two people know, a pig knows” indicates humanity’s tendency to gossip, gossip and its absolute inability to keep secrets and secrets that are not their own. “The hand washes the hand” is a proverb reflecting nepotism and corruption that have flourished in the human world since time immemorial. The saying “It’s not Senka’s hat” reminds a person of his or someone else’s capabilities, which are very easy to overestimate in the pursuit of set goals. The wonderful saying “Every cricket know its nest” has a similar meaning.

Great worldly wisdom is hidden in such proverbs as “Measure twice, cut once”, “A word is not a sparrow, if it flies out you cannot catch”, “The game is not worth the candle”, “There is no smoke without fire”, “Don’t say “Gop”. “until you jump over” and so on, because they can serve well not only the younger generation, but also experienced and mature people.

Proverbs and sayings - it seems like something from deep childhood, from a colorful reading textbook for elementary school. And, at the same time, they remind you of themselves every day, even if no one says them. Because they are life itself, its reflection. If you want, “formulas” of life that explain: if you do this, it will happen like this, but this happened for some reason... After all, proverbs contain folk wisdom. The experience of generations, independent of the historical era, fashion, political and economic situation. The only thing this experience depends on is time, which enriches and fills it.

What is the difference between a proverb and a saying?

Proverbs can be called a storehouse of experience and wisdom in their purest form. This is a short saying, instructive in spirit and having a complete meaning. For example: “you can’t catch a fish out of a pond without difficulty.”

A saying is something else. Rather, it is simply a stable combination expressing some thought, concept instead of some word, or denoting a frequently repeated, recognizable phenomenon: “like two peas in a pod,” “out of the blue,” “neither thought nor guessed, I can’t describe it with a pen”...

This is how it was originally, this is how the most ancient proverbs and sayings appeared. After all, there were times when even books were a huge rarity, and all a person had was his own mind and speech.

Then, when literature, the press, even television spread, the storehouse of wisdom began to be replenished with “author’s” proverbs and sayings - catchphrases of heroes of favorite films, well-aimed phrases in the texts of books... But the meaning of proverbs and sayings in our lives remained the same: a hint at a crossroads, consolation in trouble, a reminder of what should not be forgotten...
