We are people of simple proverbs. Folk proverbs and sayings

Proverbs and sayings are a real storehouse of wisdom of the Russian people, which has been tested not only by many centuries, history, but also by ordinary life through the experience of our ancestors, passed down from generation to generation. One proverb or saying can simultaneously express sadness with joy, anger with grief, hatred with love, and, of course, humor with sarcasm. Proverbs and sayings were able to summarize a wide range of phenomena of reality surrounding us, helping to understand the history of the people. That is why a literate person who loves his country always listens and reads... After all, both in texts and in colloquial speech, these linguistic phenomena play a special role: They enhance expressiveness, Make the content deeper, Give spice, At the same time they help to find the way to the reader’s heart .

Proverb, is that you?
People don’t like terms, but they are the ones that help us understand a phenomenon and look inside it!

Proverb is a rhythmic and short figurative saying that is stable in speech. This is a national treasure that contains judgment or advice on a certain situation.

Indeed, the proverb is one of the most curious folklore genres, which, although studied by linguists, linguists, and philologists, remains a mystery, since it is not a saying of one person, but a folk assessment that can best reflect the spiritual image, human aspirations with ideals , demonstrate visual judgments about all phenomena. What is not accepted by the majority simply will not take root. The proverb lives and can live only in speech, acquiring completeness and clear meaning in it. We can say with absolute certainty that sayings and proverbs have supported the way of life for centuries, strengthened faith in the future, becoming a kind of commandments, on the basis of which the lives of ordinary people were regulated. A proverb may not always be edifying, but it is always instructive! It is necessary to draw a conclusion from them, regardless of how old you are or what social status you currently occupy.

Proverb, sister of the proverb?
Sometimes we simply don’t understand what the differences are between proverbs and sayings, since they are traditionally put on the same page. To figure it out, and this is necessary, we suggest that you get to know the proverb better and understand what it is.

Proverb is a figurative expression that is also widespread, and it aptly and succinctly defines a phenomenon in life.

If you compare a saying with a proverb, then there is no teaching in it. Only a figurative, sometimes metaphorical expression. For example, “easy on the face” or “careless.” No complete judgments, but what a great opportunity for language to have a means of conveying an emotionally expressive assessment. In other words, the proverb was “born” to express the feelings of the person who uses it. Of course, we cannot say that proverbs and sayings are the same, since they have obvious differences. The proverb has two important features: Completeness, Didactic content.

As for the saying, its properties that you will definitely notice after studying the content in this section: Inferences are incomplete, Emotional, Lack of instructiveness.

However, sometimes it is quite difficult to distinguish “who is who”, since the genres are still adjacent, and sayings border on proverbs. There are often cases when, by adding a word to a saying, a proverb is obtained, and sometimes an ordinary inversion (rearrangement of words) is sufficient. As for oral speech, here quite often sayings are transformed into proverbs, and proverbs, on the contrary, into sayings. The people themselves say: “A saying is a flower, a proverb is a berry” (this, by the way, is a proverb), demonstrating that the saying has some incompleteness. Therefore, the proverb, having formalized the thought completely, becomes a berry.

Where did proverbs and sayings come to us from?
Oh, how difficult it is to say since when sayings and proverbs began to be “circulated” among the people, when these short sayings and apt definitions became entrenched in the minds, which make it possible to make speech richer and simpler at the same time. With all this, we can say with absolute confidence that this happened a long time ago, in ancient times, accompanying the people throughout their entire development since then. A saying could develop into a proverb or saying only when it was 100% consistent with the way of life and thoughts of the mass of people, and then exist for thousands of years. Behind every phrase stands the centuries-old authority of generations of our ancestors. You need to understand that the people who created proverbs and sayings for the most part were illiterate; they simply did not have another method to summarize their experience and knowledge. As a result, proverbs and sayings very accurately characterize the mentality, clearly demonstrating such parameters as: National traits, As already noted, lifestyle, Moral standards.

Is it any wonder that they are often contradictory? After the baptism of Rus', pagan elements began to be surprisingly intertwined in proverbs and sayings with phenomena of the new faith. Proverbs and sayings that describe interaction with feudal lords, peasant labor, dependence on the weather, the patriarchal way of life, and so on also very clearly confirm the idea expressed.

Studying proverbs and sayings means understanding life
In no case should we neglect the “world” of these linguistic phenomena, because it reflects not only reflections with the external environment, but also in private life, in the family. For every occasion there is a saying or proverb, whether it is about a wedding, theft, illness... However, we must not forget that there is a special “squad” of proverbs and sayings that migrated to us from outstanding literary works. Griboyedov is a leader in this direction. Just look at his “Happy Hours Don’t Watch.” And how many such expressions were created by Krylov, who always relied on colloquial language in his creative activity, often using sayings and proverbs in fables. True, this direction is usually referred to as aphorisms, and for them there is a whole section on our website, which we also recommend that you get acquainted with it in order to be more educated, to understand the world in which we live, to make your speech diverse, colorful and expressive!

Proverbs and sayings are the priceless heritage of our people. They accumulated over thousands of years long before the advent of writing and were passed down orally from generation to generation. This is the oldest genre of folklore. The artistic perfection of proverbs: imagery, depth of content, brightness, richness of language has ensured their eternal life in our speech.

Don't think that they aren't being created nowadays. They are created, and sometimes even in our presence. It’s just that sometimes we don’t listen closely to what our interlocutor is saying. Do not ignore wise speeches, write down instructive sayings and generously share them with those who collect them. The proverb is not said for nothing. She is loved, appreciated, remembered, and readily quoted. It cannot be otherwise: she is an adornment of speech, a teacher and a comforter.

The proverbs and sayings collected in the book are intended for schoolchildren of different ages. A person grows, his horizons of knowledge and everyday experience expand. And more and more popular sayings are becoming understandable and close. Otherwise it can not be. They contain the wisdom of the people, the life experience of many, many generations. They teach, advise, warn; praise hard work, honesty, courage, kindness; they make fun of envy, greed, cowardice, laziness; condemn selfishness, evil; encourage diligence, nobility, perseverance.

Our great writers and poets - G. Derzhavin, A. Pushkin, M. Lermontov, N. Gogol, N. Nekrasov, L. Tolstoy, A. Blok, S. Yesenin, M. Gorky, F. Dostoevsky, M. Sholokhov and others learned from proverbs the richness, brightness and imagery of language, and used them in their works. It is no coincidence that their books contain many proverbs and sayings. In Pushkin’s story “The Captain’s Daughter,” Andrei Petrovich Grinev, seeing off his son, bids him farewell: “Farewell, Peter. Serve faithfully to whom you pledge allegiance... and remember the proverb: take care of your dress again, but take care of your honor from a young age.”

It must be said that writers and poets themselves are the creators of proverbs and sayings. Let us remember Krylov’s sayings: “There is no stronger beast than a cat”, “But things are still there”, Pushkin - “But happiness was so possible”, “All ages are submissive to love”, Griboyedov - “Happy people don’t watch the clock”, “Fresh legend, but hard to believe".

The value of folk sayings is undeniable: “A proverb does not speak to the wind.” A proverb calls a proverb, a proverb colors a conversation, and in general: a proverb cannot be bypassed, cannot be avoided, because it expresses the meaning and essence of human life: “Life is measured not in years, but in labor,” “To live life is not to cross a field.” A proverb teaches a person from a very early age: “There is no friend more reliable than a mother,” “Whoever does not listen to his mother will get into trouble.” Wise thoughts about work and study, which make up the main parting words to the younger generation, will never grow old: “Work feeds a person, but laziness spoils”, “Where there is work, there is happiness”, “Learning is light, and ignorance is darkness”, “Learning yes work leads to happiness”, “Live and learn”. Popular wisdom teaches us to overcome difficulties: “Grieve through grief, but fight with your hands” (i.e., work), “Do not give up in trouble - overcome difficulties.” A significant part of the proverbs contains advice and wishes: “If you don’t know the ford, don’t go into the water,” “Don’t cut the branch you’re sitting on,” “It’s not a problem to make a mistake, but it’s not a problem to get better.” In a word, if the matter is not in dispute, turn to the proverb for advice.

It is no coincidence that in the preface to his collection “Proverbs of the Russian People” - “Naputnoye” - the great Dal wrote that proverbs are a body of folk experimental wisdom, this is the flower of the people's mind, an original article, this is the everyday truth of the people.

The author-compiler sought to collect and include in this collection not only the most widely used proverbs and sayings, but, above all, those that would bring the greatest benefit to schoolchildren in choosing the right path in life, and would lay a solid foundation for a human citizen, a patriot of his homeland.
