Folk wisdom eventually acquired 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 the whole 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 a whole people, should not only be remembered, but also told to your own children, explaining in detail complex meaning these seemingly simple and unsophisticated 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 the baby by telling him the well-known proverb “The apple does not fall far from the apple tree” and immediately explaining that in this case meaning bad upbringing or heredity. It is noteworthy that the frequent use of proverbs helps to instill in the child a love of work and good deeds and as an example, one can cite such folk pearls as “The work of the master is afraid”, “Without labor you can’t pull a fish out of the pond”, “Water does not flow under a lying stone”, “Water wears away a stone”, “Do the job - walk boldly” , "Patience and work will grind everything" and so on, the like.
Do not forget about the relationship between people, which are very well displayed in such proverbs and sayings as “An old friend is better than two new ones”, “With such friends you don’t need enemies”, “To live with wolves is to howl like a wolf”, “ Don’t show your dog-husband your whole face”, “Gray hair in a beard is a demon in a rib”, “The neighbor does not 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 the words used in folklore do not have to be taken literally, because we are talking about comparisons and associations. So, the proverb “The first pancake is lumpy” is interpreted as a failure in a new business, “One field of berries” - 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 its meaning, "Language without bones" - an overly talkative person who can talk to anyone. The famous proverb “Chickens are counted in the fall” has almost a biblical meaning, calling for patience and a kind of humility, because it was not for nothing that the scripture said “And the last will be the first.”
Listing the most famous proverbs and their meaning, one should not ignore the oral folk art that touches the lowest strings. human soul because they contain all the bitterness of human experience. “The dog barks, the wind wears” - this wisdom advises not to pay attention to the rumors of evil people, because they essentially do not decide anything, “Your own shirt is closer to the body” reminds you that even the most compassionate and devoted friend not able to seriously sacrifice himself for the sake of other people's interests, "What two people know, the pig knows" indicates the tendency of mankind to gossip, gossip and its absolute inability to keep not its secrets and secrets. “Hand washes hand” is a proverb reflecting nepotism and corruption that have flourished in the human world for centuries. The saying “A hat is not for Senka” reminds a person of his or someone else’s possibilities, which are very easy to overestimate in the pursuit of goals. The beautiful proverb “Every cricket know your hearth” has a similar meaning.
Great worldly wisdom is also hidden in such proverbs as “Measure seven times, cut one”, “The word is not a sparrow, you will fly out - you will not catch”, “The game is not worth the candle”, “There is no smoke without fire”, “Do not say “Gop !”, until you jump over” and so on, because they can serve a good service not only to the younger generation, but also to experienced and mature people.

Proverbs and sayings - it seems that this is something from deep childhood, from a colorful reading textbook for elementary school. And, at the same time, they remind of themselves every day, even if no one says them. Because they are life itself, its reflection. If you want, the “formulas” of life, which explain: if you do this, it will be so, but this happened for a reason ... After all, in proverbs - folk wisdom. The experience of generations, which does not depend either on the historical era, or on fashion, or on the political or economic situation. The only thing that this experience depends on is time, which enriches and fills it.
How is a proverb different from a proverb?
A treasure trove of experience and wisdom pure form can be called proverbs. This is a short saying, instructive in spirit and having a complete meaning. For example: “you can’t even catch a fish from a pond without difficulty.”
The proverb is something else. Rather, it is just a stable combination expressing some thought, concept instead of a word, or denoting a frequently repeated, recognizable phenomenon: “like two drops of water”, “like snow on your head”, “neither think, nor guess, can't describe with a pen...
So it was originally, so the most old proverbs and sayings. After all, there were times when even books were a huge rarity, and all that a person had was his own mind and speech.
Then, when literature, the press, even television spread, the pantry of wisdom began to replenish the "author's" proverbs and sayings - catchphrases heroes of your favorite films, well-aimed phrases in the texts of books... But the meaning of proverbs and sayings in our lives has remained the same: a hint at a crossroads, consolation in trouble, a reminder of what should not be forgotten...

AFTER THE RAIN ON THURSDAY.

Perun offered prayers for rain in a drought. It was believed that he should be especially willing to fulfill requests on "his day" - Thursday. And since these prayers often remained in vain, the saying "After the rain on Thursday" began to be applied to everything that is not known when it will be fulfilled.
BREAK A LEG.
This expression arose among hunters and was based on the superstitious idea that with a direct wish (both down and feather), the results of the hunt can be jinxed. Feather in the language of hunters means a bird, fluff - animals. In ancient times, a hunter going on a hunt received this parting word, the "translation" of which looks something like this: "Let your arrows fly past the target, let the snares and traps you set remain empty, just like the hunting pit!" To which the miner, in order not to jinx it, also replied: "To hell!". And both were sure that the evil spirits, invisibly present at this dialogue, would be satisfied and leave behind, would not plot during the hunt.

Since the cards exist, there have been dishonest players, cheaters in the world. They, in order to deceive a partner, indulged in all sorts of tricks.

The earliest Russian proverbs and sayings discovered by researchers date back to the twelfth century AD. Accurate, biting expressions, literally a few words long and containing all the salt folk wisdom have come down to us, albeit in a somewhat changed light.
Take, for example, the most famous sayings, like, "I ate dogs in this case" or "two boots - a pair." This is only part of the phrase, initially these Russian proverbs sounded like this: "He ate a dog and choked on his tail", "two pair of boots, yes both on left leg put on".
And immediately the proverbs of the Russian people take on a different meaning, don't they? They always have double meaning- direct and indirect, so sometimes you need to read Russian proverbs more than once in order to understand their meaning.
Of course, many of them are outdated, the words used in them are also outdated, but nevertheless, most of them still live, carrying their worldly wisdom through the ages.
Not all proverbs were created precisely on Ancient Russia, some of them were borrowed from religious books, and much later from the work of Russian writers.
As an example, one can cite such popular proverbs as "And nothing has changed", under the authorship of Ivan Andreevich Krylov, or, for example, "Happy Hours Don't Wear"(from the play "Woe from Wit" by Alexander Sergeevich Griboedov).
Russian proverbs are often equipped with a fair amount of humor, forcing people to take a different look at a particular problem, and even, perhaps, find its correct solution.
And although we will never know the authors of many such sayings, their names were lost, erased in the ruthless course of centuries, erasing into dust human fates, but these proverbs of the Russian people still live and delight us. And then it depends only on ourselves whether we will preserve this legacy left by distant ancestors.
The Russian people composed sayings on the theme of love, friendship, the life path of a person, aptly noticing certain details, perpetuating them on paper, and even earlier - on a thin birch bark sheet.
Now, in the age of information technology, it is enough to open a Yandex or Google search box and enter the query “proverbs of the Russian people”, as soon as many pages with various sayings fall out, and they will even be selected on relevant topics. We do not even appreciate the fact that today humanity has such powerful capabilities, and many centuries ago, wise sayings were diligently copied by hand and passed on from father to son, from grandfather to grandson.
An interesting fact: it turns out that proverbs and sayings are such a layer cultural heritage found in all peoples of the Earth. And each huge layer of this folk wisdom is in its own way similar to all the others - after all, despite the different cultural traditions and customs, way of life, all, without exception, people appreciate honest work, good relations - whether with neighbors or with relatives, and appreciate diligence and a sharp mind.
This is what folk sayings are about - they emphasize the importance of work in a person's life, ridicule laziness, greed and other human vices, and joke about everyday troubles.
In fact, it is humor that helps a person survive troubles. Humor and hope for the best, no wonder one of the sayings says: "Know the measure in joy, do not lose faith in trouble". And this is just one of hundreds of thousands!
An interesting fact is that many sayings of different peoples of the world are very consonant with each other, for example, widely famous phrase about an apple and an apple tree is very popular all over the world, only each nation has redrawn it in its own way.
Funny video about proverbs:
They are easily remembered, imprinted in memory forever, and perhaps that is also why they live for so many centuries. After all, books can get lost, Internet sites can stop working, but what you remember will be forever in your head. And you yourself will be able to pass on this wisdom of the Russian people, captured in well-aimed phrases, to your children and grandchildren, and maybe great-grandchildren - who knows?
"The genius, spirit and character of the people is manifested in its proverbs" (F. Bacon)
Folk proverbs and sayings part spiritual heritage which we inherited from our ancestors. This is truly a golden fount of folk wisdom accumulated over many centuries. They cover almost all aspects of our life, so it is very useful from early childhood to acquaint your baby with proverbs and sayings, to memorize, tell their meaning, where and in what cases they are used, learn to resort to them at every opportunity.
