Place of publication: SPb.-M.

Year of publication: 1879

In addition to proverbs, this collection includes proverbial sayings, sayings, sayings, tongue twisters, jokes, riddles, beliefs, omens, superstitions and many sayings that have conventionally come into use. “In this collection, folk wisdom with folk stupidity, intelligence with vulgarity, good with evil, truth with lies must converge. A person must appear here as he is in general, throughout the entire globe, and as he is, in particular, in our people. What is bad, then run, what is good, follow that, but do not hide, do not hide either good or bad, but show what is ... A collection of proverbs is a collection of folk experienced wisdom. These are moans and sighs, crying and sobbing, joy and gaiety, grief and consolation in their faces. This is the color of the people's mind, a distinctive article, it is the everyday people's truth, a kind of legal code, not judged by anyone ... What did not reach the people did not concern their life, it did not move either their mind or their heart, and that is not in the proverbs; what is entangled with good, or dashing into his life, you will find in the proverb.

"Will there be, will there not be when this collection is published, with which
the collector nurtured his age, but, parting with it, as if with a deed
finished, I do not want to leave him without a parting word. "

This introduction was written in 1853, when the disassembly was over.
proverbs; let it remain now, when the fate of the collection has been decided and
it is printed.

According to the routine, one should go on the wanted list: what is
proverb; where it came from and what it is fit for; when and which editions
proverbs came out; what are they; what sources did you use
current collector. Scholarly links could touch up the case, because,
it seems that Aristotle has already given a definition of the proverb.

But there is only a little bit of all this here.

Scientific definitions are now little in use, the age of scholarship has passed, although we
we still cannot shake off the rags of his staid mantle.

The times when they explained in the introduction the benefits of science or knowledge, to whom
the book was dedicated, also passed; now believe that everyone
conscientious work is useful and that the benefits of these stories cannot be helped.

Scientific searches, antiquity, comparisons with other Slavic dialects -
all this is beyond the power of the collector.

Analysis and evaluation of other publications should end in direct or
an indirect, humble admission that ours is the best.

The sources or reserve for the collection were: two or three printed
collection of the last century, collection of Knyazhevich, Snegirev, handwritten sheets
and notebooks communicated from different sides, and - most importantly - living Russian
language, and more the speech of the people.

I did not go into any antiquity, I did not analyze ancient manuscripts, but
The antiquities included in this collection got there from the printed collections.
Only one old manuscript I looked through and took from it what could
even now go for a proverb or a saying; this manuscript was donated
me gr. Dm. Nick. Tolstoy, I gave it to M.P. Pogodin, and from there she
published in its entirety, as an addendum, in the collection of proverbs by I.M.
Snegireva.

On this occasion, I must say my heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers.
givers, assistants and accomplices; I dare not call anyone, fearing
forgetfulness, too many to miss, but I cannot help but name with
gratitude to gr. Dm. Nick. Tolstoy, I. P. Sakharov and I. M.
Snegireva.

When the collection of the latter came out, mine was already partly selected: I
compared his edition with the collection of Knyazhevich and used what was not
was there and was not found with me, and that, moreover, in my extreme understanding,
could and should have been accepted.

In the collection of Knyazhevich (1822) there are only 5300 (with dozens) proverbs; To
it was added by IM Snegirev to 4000; of all this number by me
eliminated at all or not accepted as printed, up to 3500;
in general, from books or print I have taken hardly more than 6,000, or about
a fifth of my collection. The rest are taken from private notes and collected
by hearsay, in oral conversation.

During this comparison and choice, shyness and doubt attacked me more than once.
Say what you like, but this arbitrariness cannot be avoided in rejection, but a reproach for it
and even more so. You cannot blindly retype everything that is called
proverbs, was printed; distortion, then cleverness, then from
misunderstandings, it is just clerical errors and misprints, too ugly. V
in other cases, these errors are obvious, and if such a proverb came to me in
in its original form, the amendment or choice did not make it difficult; but the trouble is
that I could not limit myself to these cases, but had to decide on
something and about those thousands of proverbs, for the correction of which in
I had no correct data, and throwing it out would not mean correcting it.

Not understanding the proverb, as often happens, you consider it
nonsense, you believe that it was invented by someone for jokes or
incorrigibly distorted, and one does not dare to accept it; but the matter is right, only
look straight ahead. After several similar incidents or reluctance discoveries
you will be timid, you will think: "Who gave you the right to choose and reject? Where
the limit of this intelligibility? After all, you are not collecting a flower garden, but a collection "and
you start collecting and placing everything in a row again; let it be superfluous
let others judge and disassemble; but then suddenly you bump into the lines
like the following:

Let's take two or three examples: "God did not keep up and down"; by three
short between two long ones, and the size is good. "I got up early, but not enough
strained "; along a long one with a short one at the ends, and two middle feet - a long
with two short ones. "At least twice, at least three times, it is not badly bad"; one by one
long between two short ones. "Any fable will come in handy in three years"; "On
- every layman seven Jews "; in these two proverbs, in essence
tonic, metric, however, shows the following features:
the first begins with a long, the second - with a short syllable; in both four
feet: one long with one short, long with two, with three and with
four short ones. The next one is a wonderful, very foldable mixture.
anapesta and dactyl; only one short syllable, in the second verse, as if
extra; but it is in place, and omitted in the first verse is very opportune; here,
as if involuntarily amazed, you will make the arrangement:

Knocked down, knocked together - here is the wheel;

Sat down and went - oh, good!

I looked back - some knitting needles are lying!

It is folded wonderfully neatly: a sudden transition, in the third verse,
to two short ones, when preparing for a long syllable, it is the best possible
expresses the amazement of the one who looked back. It is also impossible not to agree that
in all sizes of these, there is not an example of more freedom and expanse than in
heavy, monotonous bonds of senseless iambic or chorea.

Rhyme or simple consonance does not always appear at the end of a verse or each
two-part proverbs, such as: "A lot of daring, little mercy";
"Do not ask the rich, ask the torso"; "Neither this nor that was boiling, and even that
burnt ";" Howled and went out of the pocket of the purse ", etc., and sometimes on
in other words, in the middle of the verse, but always in such, which require reflections,
stress, attention:

"And he rolled it up and smoothed it, but everything crawled apart."

"Do not deny the bag and prison."

"I saw how the man ate honey - he didn't give me."

There are several rhymes in a row:

"He himself is thin, like a horsetail, and lives thin, but little by little";

"I am by the head of cabbage - by my shoulders. I am by the fork - by my temple";

"There was fat, there was soap";

"Crush boiled, listen to what is said"; in the last two, every word is
rhyme.

"We'll leave the whole yard, give it a chorus, and we will support the house with a stake" - six
the same rhymes. There are consonances of the whole word and full rhymes in two and three
syllables: "To him - about Taras, and he: one and a half hundred"; "Not in the rain, we'll wait."
But most of the proverbs are without a red warehouse and without the correct one,
uniform size; harmony or measure in them, however, is, as in any
folding, short speech, and this mode gives her melodiousness and strength.

The play on words, by the reciprocity of their meanings, is not quite our taste, but
in some places it comes across: "To start, drink according to the rank"; "Sleep long - live with
duty ";" Here is a rod, and there is a bundle "; a rod - they push and a rod; a bundle - fire
fire and whiten, whip. "What will be, will be; but also will be, as we
will not be. "" I would have dined, but I would not have eaten. "
cabbage soup "and so on.

Personal names should also be attributed to the outer clothing of proverbs. They are more
parts are taken at random, or for rhyme, consonance, measures: such are, for example,
proverbs, in which they are remembered: Martyn and altyn, Ivan and the fool, Gregory and
grief, Petrak and the farm laborer, Mokey and the lackey, etc. Maybe some names and
are taken initially from persons known in the closest circle, and the proverbs
became common; often these names also came from fairy tales, stories,
where people of known properties usually bear the same name, followed by
proverbs remained the same meaning: Ivanushka and Emelya are fools;
Fomka and Sergey are thieves, rogues; Kuzka the unfortunate man; Marco is a rich man. From these
concepts have developed and special expressions: to embrace someone, to deceive,
fool a simpleton; obserezhivat, pry deftly, cunningly; fomkoyu, on the tongue
crooks, called a large chisel or one-handed crowbar for picking locks;
trick someone, hook, deceive, offend, etc.

In our inner clothes, in our proverbs, you can find samples of all
embellishment of rhetoric, all the ways of devious expression; I don't know if it's worth it
this stop, but I will give examples that came to hand. Metaphor:
He poured fat for his skin. You can't take it with your bare hands. It is necessary for him
iron gauntlets. Allegory: The lady is mad in the unheated room. Good
to plow on the stove, but to wrap up cool. Hyperbole: The stone priest has neither
iron broth. He has every penny nailed with an altyn nail.
Metonymy: A well-fed belly for learning is stupid. Green is not a decree to gray-haired. Synecdoche:
Seven axes lie together, and two spinning wheels are apart. Than to growl lard, en
the cart will skip. Irony: I played the winter as a matchmaker in a summer dress. It's a pity
girls - lost (and ruined) a guy. Opposite: B \ "lower table -
skinny pocket. Put it further, take it closer. Perversion: Not n \ "o
good, sweet, and n \ "oh sweet, good. There is no elder over sin, but sin lives and
over the headman. Doublethink: Other water costs blood (tears). Death to people
live (undertakers). Incarnation: The string bag is twisting the rope. Noose noose
throws. Spring says: I will slip away, autumn says: but I’ll have a look.
Convention: Either hold a good horse, or a whip. Either bow down
(to ask), or to swagger. Omission, omission: Mother feeds rye
all the fools completely, and the wheat (feeds the fools) by choice. From old
fools young (fools) have no life.

There are German and French collections, where the publishers, feeling the whole
the absurdity of the usual alphabetical selection according to the initial letter of a proverb,
resorted to an average measure, adopting the same alphabetical order, but according to that word
in a proverb, which they thought was the main thing, on which the proverb, after all
according to her outer clothing, folded. And this, however, is an insignificant sign,
servant except to see what subjects the people have chosen
for furnishing your paintings. And this order spreads far apart not
only friends in proverbs, but even equals: "A goat in the mountains, and a ram in
mountains ";" Where a horse with a hoof, there is a cancer with a claw ";" Ducks in the pipes -
cockroaches on drums ", etc. These proverbs should be there under different
letters, in the words: goat, ram, horse, cancer, duck, etc. While here and
pipes, and rams, and cockroaches are completely outsiders, and the meaning is the same and
very close to one thing: perceptiveness, example, imitation; and that's it
the place, the category where all such proverbs follow; and they will be typed
a hundred, maybe more.

The arrangement of proverbs by their meaning, by their inner meaning,
figuratively, like parables, it seems the most true and sensible. To what extent
this task is generally feasible, is it possible to do it immediately and how much
the collector accused of you managed to do this - another question; We are speaking
only about the rule, about the beginning, on which one can reasonably be based. Not
I doubt that this is the best of all orders in which one could
submit all folk sayings for review, comparison, assessment and
understanding them and for a common conclusion from them.

Bogdanovich's collection came to me much later than this venture (as well as
all the collections were obtained by me when my stocks are already decent
accumulated), and I saw that he had already made a similar attempt; but at
he is only one thousand, and moreover his own, proverbs, in rhymes; behind everything
Thus, however, the primacy in this matter, at our extreme, remains with
him. As a second inventor, I can’t take the initiative away from him.

So, I have stripped tens of thousands, collected over tens of years,
proverbs, sayings and similar sayings and, taking them out of the box, as
they came across, denoted on each with one word the meaning, meaning,
the subject to which each belongs. Thus, we made ourselves
itself, without any preliminary speculation, the heading of the categories, about
one hundred and eighty, which included everything that was collected in crumbs. Then I
began again for each category and tried to pick up proverbs in it in
some sequence and connection, for the same meaning.

With this arrangement of a fairly complete collection, I no longer only
I amuse myself with the sharpness of one or another proverb, but I see in them one common and
a whole picture, which has a deeper meaning and meaning than in
single notes. This is the distillation or freezing of the mind of entire generations, during
the image of his native life, with the seasoning of everything that only concerned this
daily and mental life. I can grasp the carnal and
with his spiritual eye into everything that the people said about any subject of the world
and family life; and if the object is close to this everyday life, if it is included in
his daily life, then the people - you can be sure of this - saw and
discussed it around and from all sides, made verbal judgments about it
his own, set them in motion and will not change his decision, until
circumstances will change.

And what is not in these sentences, then in the urgency of the people did not reach,
did not care, did not make him happy and did not sadden him.

A strange remark was made against this: a proverb
contradicts the other, there is a verdict on the verdict, and you do not know what
hold on. I don't know who would be embarrassed: is it possible to hug an object
multilateral at a glance and write his sentence in one line? V
that is the merit of the collection of proverbs, that it gives not one-sided, but
a complete and round concept of a thing, collecting everything about it, in different
cases was expressed. If one proverb says that the work of the master
is afraid, and the other adds that another master of the craft is afraid, then, obviously,
both are right, the matter is not equal, and the master is not even.

Another more thorough reproach: I have a lot of repetitions in the collection,
part of the intentional and in this order inevitable, because one and the same
the proverb is suitable for different meanings and categories, in part, and for
oversight: lack of memory; running through these endless rows, you get stupid and
do not remember what has already been and what has not been. But no matter how severely you judge
this, all, it seems, the sin is not great and less important than incompleteness and
omissions. Without making excuses, however, in unnecessary repetitions, I, however
however, please pay attention to the fact that many proverbs are placed twice and
triple, with a slight change, which gives the proverb a different
meaning, a different meaning, which required placing it in this form, under a different
heading.

I will add to this that there is no end to such work, however: you can
clean up, move and subdivide orders according to taste, look and
to your understanding, as much as you like; fortunately, the stock is collected and preserved. Kul
full of flour; I hope he no longer stumbles upon such connoisseurs,
who would be looking for a poison.

Be that as it may, but, having disassembled his proverbs in this order and
realizing that it would be better to start from the beginning and go over them again, I
decided, however, to get rid of this work, because I was waiting for
another, more important, but little left to live. In whatever order or
my stock was not folded in the mess, I thought, as long as it was collected and
that which wears out in our eyes like outer ice was written down. Print
at that time I did not even think about my collection - we saw above the then
concepts about these things of our advanced enlighteners - put it in
side and began to put in order his other supplies: songs, of which
I, however, sent a little to the late IV Kireevsky; fairy tales,
stop to six, including a lot of nonsense, A. N. Afanasyev; a
he left one thing to his share: stocks for the Russian dictionary.

But other times came, and it seemed to me that proverbs might be
now printed. I was going already, overcoming all the provincial difficulties,
to start printing in Nizhny, as my good fortune wanted to calm
me in a different way, removing me from work and giving me time in old age
and freedom for something else. In Moscow, the Society of Lovers of Russian Literature
immediately offered to take over the publication of the collection; but many years ago
ago (at the beginning of 1848) this proposal had already been made to me by O.M.
Bodyansky, on behalf of the Imperial Society of History and Antiquities
Russian at Moscow University, and therefore I am now with
he donated his collection there with gratitude. I will also note that how he
was published for the "Readings" in the Society, then I had to submit as in
the appearance of the publication, and in the spelling of the rules adopted there,
why the spelling is at odds with the published at the same time my dictionary and
with this preface.

What if every lover of our language and nationality, running on
my leisure time collection, took notes, corrections and additions, as far as
whoever has knowledge and memory, and would report his notes, where to whom
more convenient, for printing, or would pass them on to the collector - not true
whether that the next edition, if needed, could leave
far behind him first?

Amicably - not overweight, but one and the porridge will rot.

A year has passed in the bustle, there has always been a mess.

Where love is not hypocritical, there is true hope.

Luxurious and mean measures of contentment are ignorant.

Young walked down the Volga, but came across death not far away.

Before death, one should not die, etc., etc.

What do you want to do with such sayings of confectionery wisdom
twenties? Throw out; but they were found under another thousand, yes
as many dubious ones, with whom you do not know how to be, so as not to
accused of arbitrariness. Therefore, due to the difficulty of such a rejection, and
part and viewing, - you will not be saved from any sin - and in this collection
there were many empty, distorted and doubtful proverbs.

Regarding decency in the rejection of proverbs, I followed the rule: everything,
what can be read aloud in a society not perverted by stiffness, nor
excessive shrewdness, and therefore resentment, - to take all this into
your collection. Clean everything is clean. The most blasphemy, if it were where and
met in popular sayings, should not scare us: we collect and
we read proverbs not only for fun and not as instructions
moral, but for study and search; that's why we want to know everything that
there is. Note, however, that the sharpness or brightness and directness of expressions, in
images unfamiliar to us, do not always contain what we see in
this is indecent. If a man says: "Why pray to that god who does not
has mercy "; or" He asked the saint: it came to the word to ask the damned ", - then in
there is no blasphemy, because here gods and saints, to strengthen
concepts, people are named, delivered for the sake of the holy, divine truth, but
doing the opposite, forcing the offended and oppressed to seek protection
also by means of falsehood and bribery. The very proverb, striking us with closeness
such opposites, personifies only the extreme and intolerable
perverted state that gave rise to such a saying.

What proverbs and sayings one must go to the people, in this no one
will not argue; there is no proverb in an educated and enlightened society;
we come across weak, crippled echoes of them, transferred to our mores
or spoiled by a non-Russian language, but bad translations from foreign languages.
High society does not accept ready-made proverbs, because these are pictures
life alien to him, and not his language; but does not lay down his own, maybe from
politeness and secular decency: the proverb stabs not in the eyebrow, but right in
eye. And who will commemorate a harrow, a plow, a stupa in a good society,
bast shoes, and even more so a shirt and a background? And if you replace all these expressions
sayings of our life, then somehow proverbs do not come out, but it is composed
vulgarity, in which the entire hint comes out.

As a public property, as a world citizen, education and
education goes its way by eye, with a level in hands, tearing
bumps and bumps, leveling pits and potholes, and bring everything under the same
canvas. In our country, more than anywhere else, enlightenment is the same as
is, - has become a persecutor of everything that is native and popular. How, in recent
still, the first sign of the enlightenment claim was shaving
beard, so direct Russian speech and everything that goes with it was generally avoided.
applies. Since the time of Lomonosov, from the first stretch and stretch of the tongue
ours according to the Roman and German stock, continue this work with violence
and are increasingly moving away from the true spirit of the language. Only at the very last
time they began to guess that the goblin walked around us, that we were circling and wandering,
lost our way, but we will go into nowhere. On the one hand, the jealous
a ready stranger, not considering it necessary to first study his own, forcibly
transferred to us everything in the form in which it came across and to someone else's
soil, where it was suffered and worked out, then how could it
taken only with patches and gloss; on the other hand, mediocrity has vulgarized that
that, zealous, she tried to bring from her own life into the glove
estate. On one side of the cheremis, and on the other, beware. Anyway
was, but from all this it follows that if you do not collect and save
folk proverbs in time, then they, supplanted by the level of impersonality and
colorlessness, combed haircuts, that is, public education,
wither away like springs in a drought.

Descending to vernacular, sometimes allowing ourselves to express a proverb, we
we say: "Try on ten times, cut once." We didn’t come up with this
sayings, but, having taken it among the people, they only slightly distorted it; people say
more correct and more beautiful: "Try on ten and count, cut off one again." V
Peter and the multiplication tablet are taught: two times three, five times six; in schools
our people say: twice three, but the people say: two three or two by five,
three by six, etc. Teaching: reckless, reckless work is often
is useless - we will never express the proverb under our pen:
"Cut, and sing songs; you will sew, you will cry"; or: "Shay yes pori, do not
will be deaf pores. "Is it possible to express deep
thought than in the proverb: "To death, in the sun, in all eyes
you will take a look "; this proverb got ours, I don’t know which way, the Frenchman
Larochefoucauld; in a clever translation, she went with him for hers and is given
as an example of his intelligence and eloquence: "Le soleil ni la mort ne peuvent se
regarder fixement "(Maximes).

We, in our everyday life, come up with only proverbs like these: "Visor
does not spoil; there is nothing to walk from, so with a tambourine; nothing to beat, so fist "; yes
sometimes we translate: "To sing a swan song; between them a black cat
ran; and there are spots in the sun; fifth wheel; there is a stick in the corner,
that is why it is raining "and so on. Do you like these sayings and translations?

But we not only ourselves will not compose a single wonderful proverb, but we
even, as it turns out, we don't understand the ready-made ones well. This has put
me stumped. To what extent is it necessary and necessary to explain and interpret proverbs?
An incomprehensible proverb inaccessible to the listener is this salt that overwhelmed and
does not salt; what to do with it? And to interpret the severity or hint that
the reader himself understands - vulgar and cloying; there are many interpretations and places
occupy, and the book comes out voluminous, cramped and without them. Many explanations
would require scholarly information, and this requires knowledge, and sources, and
time - in a word, it is a separate and important work. Most readers like
no matter how few of them were found, they are also not the same, everyone can have their own
requirements - not the sun, you will not get eels at all.

I put, and then already at the time of printing, the shortest interpretation,
an indication of where he could believe that it is necessary for many. We recently
saw examples of how strangely and
interpreted, even condemned, our proverbs: "People get rich from bulk"
it was interpreted "from the forcible imposition of goods on someone"; a "Do not stand
copy from public "- declared nonsense, because it is impossible, though
occasionally, do not sweep a copy, and the hut will be good, if it never
copy is not tolerated. But bulk is understood here in the meaning of bulk
buyers, not goods; if the crowd, the people bring down the shaft - get hold of
brisk sales, why a brisk, tough place is expensive for a merchant, and a familiar
in battle, where the fencers drop out of habit, twice the price. Don't take out the copy,
like any other undistorted proverb in which the parable is contained,
straight and right, literally and figuratively: the matter is right, just look
directly. In a figurative: do not carry household bills to people, do not gossip, do not
troublemaker; family squabbles will sort it out at home, if not under one sheepskin coat,
so under one roof. Directly: dirty linen is never carried out by peasants or
swept out into the street: this, through the semi-arshin thresholds, is troublesome, and moreover
rubbish would be carried by the wind and an unkind person could copy, as if
on the trail, or on the trail, send damage. The litter is swept into a pile, under the bench, in
oven or concoction corner; and when the furnace is flooded, it is burned.
When the wedding guests, trying the bride's patience, force her revenge
the hut and litter after her, and she sweeps everything again, then they
say: "Shoot, sweep, but don't take it out of the hut, but shovel it under the bench, yes
put it in the oven to take it out in smoke. "

"Need will teach the rolls to eat", as a parable, was interpreted correctly: need
will make you work, trade. "Gol is tricky, the need for invention is too much"
- she will give mind and, if there was no rye bread, she will bring to what will be
and wheat. But there is also a direct meaning here: home need will make you go to
earnings. "Between the plow and the harrow you cannot hide; look for bread at home, but
on the side "; where? The first thing on the Volga, in the barge haulers; this is still
article, but before the shipping company it was a radical, and, moreover, riotous trade
ten provinces; on the Volga, after passing Samara, you come to the kalach (roll,
pie, roll, wheat bread). For horse haulers this is a wonder, and
they, the fathers and grandfathers of the present, have folded this proverb.

"Bondage goes down, bondage goes up"; here we are talking about the same mother Volga
and about the seething, with which bondage is associated, because the makings were taken
forward, sent home to rent, and the remains were drunk. Bondage, that is, need,
goes down the water to look for work; up, against the water, goes, or pulls
strap, bondage. In the literal sense: a slave or a slave (captivity) is waiting for the best,
because there is no worse for him, he is waiting for mercy and trust for faithful service
his: it is ahead of him; the bonded one gets more and more confused, owes,
gorges and gains new bondage for himself, time after time; bondage
rises, everything intensifies and in the old days it often also ended
servility.

But from these few examples it is clear that such explanations, if
collector and got enough of them, would require several years of time and
another hundred sheets of print.

Note, however, on this occasion that to interpret and explain proverbs
one must be extremely careful not to turn this business into a toy.
It is especially dangerous to seek with a learned gaze what one would like to find.
The application of proverbs to events, even to individuals, by namesake, to
ancient customs, to the dubious fable of idolatry, etc.
turns out, in many cases, by stretch of the imagination. I think, for example,
what to attribute the sayings: "Lisa Patrikeevna", "Patrick himself of the third" - to
Lithuanian prince Patrick, and "Ananyin's grandson from Velikiye Luki is traveling" - to
to Novgorod mayor Ananyu - arbitrary arbitrariness; think
even that "The enemy is strong, he walks in blue" does not touch the blue lightning and
Perun, but simply hints at a blue caftan as a sign of prosperity,
wealth; the wicked one places his nets on everyone, and the blue
caftan. "A doomed beast is not a beast" is also hardly said here
since the days of the idols and does not refer to her doom to sacrifice to the gods, to which
there is no memory left among the people; the doomed brute that
doomed to death by fate, not tenacious, not durable; this is common
consolation and carelessness, and stubbornness, and mercilessness in trouble; has become sick
beast - leave her to the will of God; if she lives, she will be alive, but if
doomed, then she is not a beast, not a belly, not good, not your property.
Trying to explain the dark proverbs and apply them to that everyday life that
this time before our eyes, we sometimes sit far and wonder where
the chest opens simply, without a secret. To this we must add that
Great Russians, disgusting to Little Russians, there is no everyday descriptive memory; they have everything
limited to the essentials and spiritual; antiquity remains in memory and is transmitted,
for the generation it concerns everyday life; from this, for Russian, direct
the transition to thoughts and conversations about eternity, about God and heaven, everything else he,
without outside influence, it will not do it, unless on a special occasion.

So, recognizing the proverb and saying as a walking coin, it is obvious that
one must follow them to where they walk; and this conviction I kept in
for decades, recording everything that could be intercepted on the fly in
oral conversation. What was collected in front of me, from the same source, then I
tried to include, but rummaged a little in books and, probably, a lot
lowered. So, for example, I could not even cope with a small, but very
conscientiously processed collection of Buslaev (Kalachev Archive, 1854),
which I first saw in Moscow in April 1860, when half
my collection has been published.

Many sayings of our writers, in their brevity and accuracy, stand
proverbs, and here one cannot but recall Krylov and Griboyedov; but I
included in his collection only those of these sayings that happened
I hear in the form of proverbs when they, taken orally, went
walk separately. And therefore in my collection there are book proverbs, but I
I didn’t take them from books, except when they had already got into similar
collections and, for completeness, passed to mine. I also have translations - what
was noticed in the form of a reproach - but I did not translate them, but accepted them, because
they are spoken; there are distorted, altered, but I did not distort them, but
heard or received in this form; there are sayings from St. scriptures and they even
for the most part altered, but they were not taken by me from there and not altered
by me, and so they say; there are vulgar, superstitious, blasphemous, false-wise,
fanatical, absurd, but I did not compose them; my task was: to collect in
possible completeness, all that is and what it is, as a reserve, for
further development and for any conclusions and conclusions to anyone.
They will say: there is a lot of unnecessary rubbish; true, but what is thrown out, no one
sees, and where is the standard for this rejection and how to guarantee that you will not throw it away
of what might remain? You can subtract from the spacious; dial from
a collection of flower garden, to your liking, no wonder; and what you miss, then
harder to turn back. If you cut it off, you can't turn it back. Moreover, I had in mind
language; one turn of speech, one word, at first glance, not everyone
noticeable, sometimes they forced me to keep the most absurd saying.

Where only could I correctly get to the root turn and point to
distortion, there I did it, although in the shortest notes. Here are some examples:
"Not until mass, if there is a lot of nonsense"; here nonsense got through a misunderstanding,
instead of rituals, the northern word, which is pronounced there: obedient, and
means: female everyday life in the house, cooking, household at the stove; it can be seen from
friends of this proverb: "Either go to mass, or lead the ritual."
Another: “It’s not good for us, here is God for you”; this seems to be confirmed
another: "What is not nice for the deacon, then the priest in the censer"; but the first came out from the south,
it is Little Russian, is not understood by us and therefore is distorted: "It is not suitable for us, from
you are heavenly ", here is heaven for you, heavenly; this word has many meanings:
poor, wretched, beggar, cripple, holy fool, unhappy, for whom they condole,
close, relative, nephew; this proverb answers ours: "The stepmother has fertilized
before the stepson: she ordered to drink all the cabbage soup in the spell. "Proverb:" Not with children
or not with children, not with children, and sidney in honor of "it is said differently and
is changed from a misunderstanding: to whom God did not give children or from whom they are dying
babies (who have no children), he would be glad to both sit and legless,
a cripple; to desertedness and sidney in honor: after all, Ilya Muromets was a seat. Not
realizing this and taking honor, honor to the word children, than the proverb and deprived
meaning, corrected the matter, turning the Sydney into a saddle, an old man with a gray hair, and
making from this: "Not with children and in honor," that is, an adult,
a reasonable person respects old people.

Thus, one word often gives a proverb a different meaning, and if
you heard it in one way, and I in another, then it still does not follow from this,
that you heard it to the right, and I even less so that I would remake it myself.
Let's take an example of this kind, where not only you and me, but also two more
interlocutors say the same proverb, each in his own way, and all
four will be right: "You cannot call an old dog a wolf" - for the fact that it
outdated, no longer fit, do not consider her a wolf, do not do as with
enemy; "You can't call Popov's dog a wolf" - no matter how tired the pop is with greed and
with their clutches, but do not look at his dog like a wolf, she neither
what is not to blame; "Do not call an old dog a daddy", not a father - the answer to
the requirement to respect the old man beyond merit; old dog, but not his father
read for it; "Popov's dog shouldn't be called daddy" - the answer to the demand
respect for casual people; no matter what you talk about respect for dad, for the priest,
but his dog is not a dad; in this form, the proverb is often applied to pets
lordly, from the courtyard. There are many such examples: which of
these four contradictions cannot be chosen, everything can be said: no, she is not so
it says!

I will note here that the old lists and collections of proverbs are far from
can always serve as models and do not in the least prove that
the proverb was in use from word to word, as it is written. Old men
wise in this matter no worse than ours, wishing to correct the proverb, to give
her written form, and, as it goes without saying, through this fell into
vulgarity. There are many examples of this. To Pogodinsk. prefabricated 1714 year
we read: "Being on the wrong side, I must divert my head, and my heart
humbly to have. "Is it not obvious cleverness and alteration here?
it says: "Keep your head bowed (or bow), but your heart humbly"; if
apply this to a foreign land, then you can start with the words: in a foreign land, in a foreign
to the side, without then changing a word; here everything else is added
a scribe, especially the words: being, one must, have.

In the Archive collection. XVII century: "Young walked down the Volga, but came across
death not far away ", or, as Snegirev corrected:" not far away ";
is it really a proverb, a saying, or something like that? V
Archival same: "No money, go to bed"; this one is still in use and
talking about a drunkard who sits quietly at home, even hides when drinking
there is nothing; but instead of pret you have to read pret. "As there is no money, so on
polati rushing ", that is, it climbs and lies quietly. There is also a proverb:" The old
the soul is not taken out, and the young man's soul is not sealed "- not changed for the better:
"Until death, from the living, from the old, the soul is not taken out, but from the young not
sealed. "

To the national team. Yankova 1744: "Kumischa, swatishcha - say goodbye, grab it";
it doesn't look like anything anymore; let someone understand this nonsense, in which from
four words are not true, and therefore there is no meaning.
Obviously, this is a distortion of the proverb that still lives on among the people: "
if you get married, you will sleep it off, you will wake up. ”Such examples could be typed
so many; I cite them as proof that at all times there have been
stupid scribes and even collectors who were clever, and what,
referring to old manuscripts, it is not always possible to correct new ones
collectors.

My collection was destined to go through many ordeals, long before printing
(in 1853), and, moreover, without the slightest seeking on my part, but by
the enlightened participation and insistence of a person whom I dare not even hint at,
not knowing if it will please. But people, and, moreover, people of scholarship,
recognizing the publication of the collection as harmful, even dangerous, they considered it their duty to expose and
other shortcomings of it, among other things, in such words: "Noticing and
Eavesdropping on the dialects (?) of the people, Mr. Dal, apparently, did not write them down soon,
and brought in after, as I could remember; that's why he has a rare (?) proverb
so recorded, as it is said by the people. Most (?) Of them are seen
as the following: he has it written: I will dissolve this misfortune with beans, and
the proverb says: I will scout someone else's misfortune with beans, but not
I'll clean it up. "

But I had both proverbs, only each in its place, because
their meaning is not the same; yes, instead of cleaning it up, I'll attach it,
which I still believe to be true. I'll spread this misfortune with beans or with beans,
the trouble is not great, it will fit into the gate, you can open it or get rid of it.
“I’ll scout someone else’s misfortune on beans, but I don’t apply to my own mind” - quite another;
this means: I’ll eat someone else’s grief with bread, someone else’s sore in the side does not sour, but
its own sore is a large nodule, etc.

Further: "He wrote: God judge his will, and the proverb says: Do
God will his will. "What the latter says, there is no dispute, and if her
I was not there, then you could point out the pass; but the first also
it says. "God judge his will" - means that there is no one else to judge her, not
we condemn her, but we must submit to her without a murmur; or adopting
to judge, according to the old meaning, for awarding, making a judgment, - God judge
your will means: do, judge according to your will.

In total, to prove that a rare proverb I have correctly recorded and
that most of them were noticed by mistake, my righteous judges cite three
example, that is, one for every ten thousand, and the third is the most
wonderful: "The same infidelity is in the collection (?) of jokes and idle talk;
I will give as an example one: it says:
other things, this idle talk among the people is expressed (why not
reads?) so: Not for anything else, but for something else like that; what if
better than anything, so nothing else; that's all. "

Yes, it seems that that's all ...

Be that as it may, but regardless of such infidelity in proverbs
mine, proved by the three examples given here, found that the collection
this one is also unsafe, encroaching on the corruption of morals. For more
intelligibility of this truth and to protect morals from threatening them
corruption was invented and written, in the report, a new Russian
a proverb, not quite folding, but clear in purpose: "This is a sack of flour and
a pinch of arsenic "- so it was said in the verdict about this collection, and to this
also added: "Seeking to print monuments of folk follies, Mr.
Dahl seeks to give them authority in print "... to those who are dangerous for
morality and piety of the people are attributed to places, among other things,
the following sayings: "Blessing, it is not a sin;
house is not a pointer "and so on.

Should I still mention after this that hand in hand with the writers
proverbs about pulp went and the conclusion of a connoisseur of the jury, to whom
my collection also came without my participation, and what was found there
impermissible convergence with a series of proverbs or sayings: "He has hands
debts (a lot of power) "and" His arms are long (he is a thief) "? And here, as there,
demanded amendments and changes in proverbs, and moreover, exceptions,
which "can make up more than a quarter of a manuscript" ...

For the sake of truth, I must say that the opinion is the opposite of all this
was expressed at that time by an enlightened dignitary who was in charge
The public library.

I express all this not as a complaint and denunciation, but, firstly, as
an excuse why I did not publish proverbs earlier than this one, secondly, for
explanations of our contemporary life. Without looking in the mirror, oneself in
You don't know your face. Moreover, it seems to me, where it comes to data for the future
history of our enlightenment, there everyone is obliged to say what he has
there is evidence in hand.

This collection includes, in addition to proverbs, proverbial sayings,
sayings, sayings, soon (clean) talk, jokes, riddles, beliefs,
omens, superstitions and many sayings, which I cannot give a common nickname, even
simple turns of speech, conventionally come into use.

About this scholarly connoisseurs of the manuscript, who successfully insisted that she
remained hidden for another eight years, were of the opinion: "It's a pity,
that all this is combined in one book: through this he (the collector) mixed
edification with corruption, faith with falsehood and unbelief, wisdom with
stupidity and thus dropped his collection a lot ... Obviously,
the honor of the publisher, and the benefit of the readers, and the very prudence would require
split two thick folios into several books and in them separately
print: proverbs, sayings, jokes, riddles, omens, etc. ".
These arguments didn’t convince me, but the least I understand how
the danger of poisoning would be lessened by such a fragmentation of the whole into parts;
Is it by little accustoming to poison? In this collection that is not
catechism of morality, lower \ "e mandate to customs and community, namely
folk wisdom must converge with folk stupidity, mind with
vulgarity, good with evil, truth with lies; man must appear here
such as he is in general, around the globe, and what he is, in particular, in
our people; what is bad, run; what is good, follow that; but don't hide
hide neither good nor bad, but show what is.

But, having named a proverb, a proverb, a saying, etc., I still came to that
a dead end, from which one cannot get out without explaining that
by names I mean, or as the people understand them.

A proverb is a short parable; she herself says that "naked speech
not a proverb. "
and put into circulation, under the coinage of the nationality. Proverb - bluntly, with
application to the case, understood and accepted by all. But "one speech is not
proverb ": like any parable, a complete proverb consists of two parts:
from the bluntness, picture, general judgment and from the application, interpretation,
teachings; quite often, however, the second part is omitted, provided
sharpness of the listener, and then a proverb is almost indistinguishable from a saying.
Here are examples of complete proverbs: "Wait in time, God has something
serve ";" Any fish is good, if it goes to the oud ";" The devil climbed for
clouds, but broke off ";" There is no in you, so do not look in the village ", etc.

With this concept of a proverb, we must agree that it is not
is composed, but forced by the force of circumstances, like a cry or an exclamation,
involuntarily lost from the soul; these are whole sayings, knocked down in one lump, in
one interdistrict. A collection of proverbs is a collection of folk experienced wisdom
and superstition, these are moans and sighs, crying and sobbing, joy and joy, grief
and consolation in faces; it is the color of the people's mind, an original article; this is
everyday folk truth, a kind of legal code, not convicted by anyone. "What
does not hurt, then it does not cry "; what did not reach the people did not concern
his life, he did not move either his mind or his heart, and that in
no proverbs; what is entangled, good or dashing, in his life, you will find
and in the proverb. And in order to recognize this and reach the faithful therefore
conclusions about the life of the people, what is needed is not a flower garden of proverbs, not a sample of
what we like, and the complete collection, at least a whole quarter of it, is like
mentioned above, and did not suit our taste. "Red and all of us
love, but love it roughly. "

"There is no contribution from the proverb", "it cannot be appealed," her sentence
irresistible; all extremes converge, and therefore "On the proverb that on
fool, and there is no judgment ";" You can't get away from a proverb ";"
the hut is sweeping with a broom ";" And there is a proverb for your honor ";" And on our
arrogance is a proverb;
yes, and "Not every proverb with everyone prays": "Another proverb is not for
Ivan Petrovich. "Who composed it - no one knows; but everyone knows her and
obey her. This composition and property is common, as is the very joy and
grief, as the experienced wisdom gained by a whole generation, expressed
such a sentence. Written then only becomes a proverb,
when it went into action, it was accepted and assimilated by everyone.

We call a proverbial saying such that it entered, in the form of a proverb,
into our conversation, although it does not contain any parable, allegory,
bluntness; for example, two sayings, about which we had a speech: Do God will
your own and God judge your will: these are not proverbs or sayings, but
proverbial speeches, sayings. True and sharp boundaries and stretch out here
it is forbidden; in the strict sense, a lot of
proverbs.

A proverb, according to popular definition, is a flower, and a proverb is a berry;
It's right. Saying - devious expression, figurative speech, simple
allegory, bluntness, way of expression, but without a parable, without judgment,
conclusions, applications; this is one first half of the proverb. Proverb
replaces only direct speech with roundabout, does not finish speaking, sometimes does not
names things, but conventionally, hints very clearly. She does not say: he
drunk; but he will say: "He has double vision, he is tipsy, his tongue is not
knits, he does not hang down, he rolled it behind the collar, he does not
will pass, he writes in thought, "and so on. Instead, he is stupid, she says:" He does not
all houses, one rivet is missing, he is nailed in color, he will not read three; under
nose ascended, but in the head and not sown "and so on. Replace the equal, buddies
she says: "One field of berries, one cloth of epanchus, one hand, fingers"
etc. Expressing, for example, the general concept of loneliness, the saying distinguishes
This state, in all its relations: "One, like a mile in a field; one,
like poppies; one, like a ring of gold; one like a finger; one like
gunpowder in the eye; one, like a booze (like a drink in a swamp), like a bear in
den ", etc. Therefore, the proverb is sometimes very close to the proverb: worth
add just one word or make a rearrangement, and from the saying
a proverb came out. "He dumps from a sick head to a healthy one", "He is a stranger
he rakes the heat with his hands "- sayings; both say only that this
a self-propeller who takes care of himself, not sparing others. But say, "By strangers
it is easy to rake in the heat with your hands ";"
overhead ";" One cloth of the epance does not differ ";" One hand fingers, and
one bone "and so on, and all these will be proverbs, containing a complete
parable.

Sentence or idle talk, which is also sometimes called a proverb -
this saying, sometimes one word, often repeated, pronounced,
without much sense and meaning, but according to local or personal habit:
says, take, take; this very thing is very good; tovo-vono how-it is.
There are many such conditional sentences in fairy tales: "Soon the fairy tale will tell, not
soon the work is done ";" Whether close, far, low, high ";" For
distant lands, in the thirtieth state ", etc. Both simple and
fabulous idle talk sometimes turns into a proverb, containing
conditional meaning; for example: "I would be good, yes, you see, my wife is not good; well,
I am too strong "; about an empty, formidable boss:" I galloped above the forest
standing, below the walking cloud "; about the severity and lack of traffic to whom:" He is quieter
water, below the grass became ", etc. From the other end, passing into a set of folding
words, sentences merge with jokes.

The proverb is very close to the nickname, but does not refer to the face, but to the whole
terrain where residents are teased, scolded or honored by the attached
a proverb. Sometimes it consists in only one word: "Ryazan
blue-bellied ";" Yaroslavl beloteltsy ";" Vyatichi blind breeds "; sometimes in
the whole saying, joke, pribasenke: "Penzhan their crow in Moscow
learned ";" Whose are you, young man? - Zubachevsky merchant. - Where have you been? - In Moscow,
walked around the world. "The last saying is already very close to the proverb, and
others are given a proverbial meaning: "Chukhloma hand:
mittens in the belt, and looking for others. "Proverb:"
knocked out with a horn, "shaking tobacco about her in passing, sometimes used
in the same sense as "A drop hammers a stone."

Patter, phrase-mongering - compiled for exercise soon and
pure pronunciation, why sounds clash in it that make it difficult
quick talk; but many purest stories also carry a proverb:
"You can't change our sexton's name", you can't change a person;
"I reported, but I did not report it, but began to report it,
he reported, "all out of place, unsuccessfully;"
the priest, the shock under the priest, the pop under the hood, "that is, everything is the same.

A joke, a joke is not entirely clear or not equally defined;
the very name - empty bike - shows that it can sometimes be
the same, that idle talk, but about a witty they say that he knows
a lot of jokes. Others call this a number of sayings and sentences,
folded folding, without much sense; this includes Yamskie jokes,
also knock-downs, who are now almost gone, pastries, etc. These
jokes also often turn into proverbs: "For all three,
do not touch the root: but apart from the root, there is not a single one ";"
not yours - drive, do not stand ";" Eat the pies, but take care of the bread ahead ";
"Water, egg-capsule, do not feel sorry for the master's dobrush" and so forth.
they call fabulous embellishments: "By leaps and bounds it grows like wheat
the dough on the dough is sour ";" The horse is running, the earth is trembling, fire from the nostrils,
it covers the trail with its tail, dales, lets rivers between the legs, "and so on. And this
chatter sometimes takes on a proverbial meaning when applied to
any known case. Jokes, tales, sayings
they call sayings and proverbs that are completely incomprehensible if you do not know
the traps from which they came out; and these jokes cannot be separated in any way
from proverbs. Others are understandable by themselves: "Titus, let's go threshing!" My belly hurts.
- Titus, go and have some jelly! “Where's my big spoon?” “Who stole the pie?
- Not me. - Who else to give? - Me. "" Wife, and wife, do you love me? Al
don't you love - Yes. - What "yes? “Nothing.” Others demand an explanation:
"It's good honey with a roll"; to this they add: "Have you eaten? - No, not
ate; yes, my brother was in town, so he saw how people eat. "" You know
sense, like a blind man in milk ": the leader left the blind for a while." Where was he? -
Yes, he sipped some milk. - And what is milk? - White and sweet. - A
what is it white? - Like a goose. “What kind of goose?” The leader bent his elbow and
brush with a hook and gave him a touch: "That's what it is. - Oh, I know" - and for this
the blind man understood what milk is. This also includes: "So and so, yes
there is something like ";" Thank God, the bast shoes are ripe ";" One more Cossack remained ";
"The rainbow drank a tub of water"; "I got into the washstand like the devil," etc. K
jokes, you can also count sayings, sometimes proverbial, with a mutual
meaning, a play on words: "I (climbed) into the forest, and he
for an elm ".

Proverbial sayings about signs, beliefs, everyday and master's
rules, dressed, for memory, in the same clothes, which include the folk
months, where every folk day, something wonderful in everyday life
given its name and attached various sayings, rules, sayings, -
all this, as far as I was able to collect, was also included in the collection. Bozhba,
curses, wishes, greetings, expressed in the form of sayings, partly
included here, but there were not many of them, as in general, some categories
I have very little hope and hope for future collectors. Russians
drinking, healthy wishes that now toasts, often old ones,
partly well-known and still in the merchant circle, in the
are good, but I also had a little of them, but it would be desirable to collect and
keep more of them.

In the proverb, one can distinguish between inner and outer clothing; the first
refers to rhetoric, the second - to grammar and prosody. Grammar is not
only could and should learn a lot from proverbs, but should
to be on them, in many parts of theirs, again turned upside down. Frequent
our misunderstanding of the proverb is based precisely on ignorance of languages, those
simple, strong and short turns of speech that are gradually lost
and are ousted from the written language in order to bring it closer together, for greater
the handiness of translations, with Western languages. Who would take to consider
proverbs and sayings in this regard, he would write a fat and
useful book.

The proverb is for the most part in measured or folded form: rarely
correct metric verse, that is, with the account of long and short
syllables, because such a size is generally alien to the folk language; even less often and,
it seems that only by chance there is a syllabic size, that is, a simple
the counting of syllables is a matter completely foreign to us; but very often in Russian size, in
tonic, like song, with a known number of drawn stresses in a verse,
and fabulous, with a rhyme or a red warehouse.

Proverb is unjustified 1
Epigraph on the title page of the first edition of "Proverbs of the Russian people" by V. I. Dahl.

Vladimir Ivanovich Dal is known to a wide circle of readers primarily as the creator of the famous "Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language" - the richest treasury of the Russian word.

Dahl's no less remarkable work is his collection of Proverbs of the Russian People, which includes more than thirty thousand proverbs, sayings and apt words.

The origin of the great scientist is surprising, although in those distant times many Europeans - Germans, French, Scandinavians - considered it good to go into the service of the Russian Tsar and the new fatherland.

Writer, ethnographer, linguist, doctor, Vladimir Ivanovich Dal was born on November 22 (according to the old style - November 10), 1801 in Lugansk, Yekaterinoslav province. Father - Johann Christian Dahl - a Danish who took Russian citizenship, was a doctor, linguist and theologian, mother - Maria Khristoforovna Dahl (nee Freytag) - half German, half French. Dahl's father became a patriot of everything Russian. Having fallen in love with Russia, he tried to develop a love for the Russian language, culture and art in his children as well.

In 1814, Vladimir Dal entered the St. Petersburg Naval Cadet Corps. He graduated from the course, served in the navy in Nikolaev, then in Kronstadt. After retiring, he entered the medical faculty of the University of Dorpat, graduated in 1829 and became an ophthalmic surgeon.

And again - military service. In 1828, a two-year Russian-Turkish war began, and Dahl was drafted into the army. He participated in the passage of the Russian army through the Balkans, continuously operating on the wounded in tent hospitals and directly on the battlefields. Dahl's talent as a surgeon was highly appreciated by the outstanding Russian surgeon Pirogov. In 1831, during a campaign against the Poles, Vladimir Ivanovich distinguished himself when crossing the Vistula. He first used electric current in explosives, having mined the crossing and blowing it up after the retreat of the Russian troops across the river. For this, Emperor Nicholas I awarded V.I. Dahl with the order - the Vladimir cross in his buttonhole.

Dahl began collecting words and expressions of the Russian folk language in 1819. While still in the Marine Corps, he studied literature, wrote poetry. Driving through the Novgorod province one day, he wrote down the word “rejuvenate” that interested him (“otherwise cloudy, tend to bad weather”). And since then, wandering through the vast expanses of Russia, Vladimir Ivanovich did not part with his notes, replenishing them with new words, apt sayings, proverbs and sayings, having accumulated and processed two hundred thousand words by the end of his life!

It is necessary to especially note his acquaintance and friendship with Pushkin. Dahl's work on the dictionary and his collection of proverbs played a significant role in this. Dahl later recalled the enthusiasm with which Pushkin spoke about the riches of Russian proverbs. According to the testimony of contemporaries, the great poet, in fact, strengthened Dahl in his intention to collect a dictionary of a living folk language.

Alexander Sergeevich and Vladimir Ivanovich more than once shared the hardships of difficult travels on the roads of Russia, traveled to the places of the Pugachev campaigns.

In the tragic days of January 1837, Dahl, as a close friend and as a doctor, took an active part in caring for the mortally wounded Pushkin. It was to Dal that the words of the dying man were addressed: "Life is over ..." The grateful poet gave him a talisman-ring. Dahl left notes about the last hours of Alexander Sergeevich's life.

In 1832, Russian Fairy Tales, edited by Dahl, were published. First five ". However, the book was soon banned and the author was arrested. Only at the request of V.A.Zhukovsky, at that time the educator of the heir to the throne, Dahl was released. But he could no longer publish under his own name and signed himself with the pseudonym Cossack Lugansky. It was under this pseudonym that one of the favorite fairy tales of our childhood - "Ryaba Chicken" was published.

Dahl's works are full of proverbs and sayings. Sometimes, instead of a detailed characterization of the hero, his assessment is given only in a proverb: “He ... would not have had to live like this - from morning to evening, and there is nothing to remember; a week has passed, it has not reached us. " Or: “They didn’t teach, while lying across the bench, but stretched out at full length - you cannot teach”; "Whoever can eat whoever can."

The Proverbs of the Russian People (1862) and the Explanatory Dictionary (1864), published almost at the same time, enriched Russian culture and literature.

In the preface to the book of proverbs, Dahl wrote: “The sources or reserve for the collection were: two or three printed collections of the last century, collections of Knyazhevich, Snegirev, handwritten leaves and notebooks communicated from different sides, and - most importantly - living Russian, and more - the speech of the people. "

It should be noted that even before Dahl, back in the 18th century, proverbs and sayings of the Russian people were collected and published. Examples include N. Kurganov's "Writer" (1769), "Collection of 4291 ancient Russian proverbs" attributed to Moscow University professor Barsov (1770), and the collection "Russian Proverbs" by I. Bogdanovich (1785). The first significant research on Russian proverbs is the work of I. M. Snegirev "Russians in their proverbs" (1831–1834). In the middle of the 19th century, the collections of I.M.Snegirev (1848, 1857) and the collection of proverbs extracted from books and manuscripts and published in 1854 by F.I.Buslaev were considered the main collections of proverbs and sayings.

However, it is Dahl who has the honor to become the most accurate, deep and loyal researcher of oral folk art.

The extensive material collected by Dahl made him group the proverbs in the collection by headings, sections. These rubrics often combine opposite phenomena of life, concepts, etc., for example, "good - evil", "joy - sorrow", "guilt - merit"; and everything is given an assessment in proverbs, because they express the innermost judgments of the people.

Deep wisdom, subtle observation, clear mind of the people determined the most expressive proverbs and sayings about literacy, learning, intelligence, about the abilities and intelligence of people. Proverbs condemn talkers, quarrelsome and stupid, lovers of scandal, arrogant, overly proud people.

Many proverbs spoke about the peasant world, about joint work, the strength of the rural community. “You can conquer the devil with a cathedral,” said the proverb. “What the world has ordered, so God has judged”, “The world will roar, so the forests groan”, “Amicably - not heavy, but apart - at least throw it away”, “You can solve any business with peace” ...

The book offered to the reader includes only a small part of Dahl's extensive collection of proverbs and sayings. They are about love, friendship, happiness, wealth, work and idleness, life and death, loneliness, luck. Notice how fresh, modern they sound!

And how many stable phrases in today's Russian language, the origin of which we no longer think about, but which have a very definite source. Who has not heard a completely modern expression: "It's in the bag." It is from Dahl's collection, and came from the lot, which was put into the hat, and then pulled from it.

In almost every section of Dahl's "Proverbs of the Russian People" one can encounter contradictory materials. And this is natural - after all, real life is full of contradictions. It is very important to distinguish between shades, as well as the measure of the depth of proverbs and sayings. After all, they were sometimes born under the influence of emotions, and not just years of observation and experience.

Let's read the proverbs characterizing the position of women in the family. Many of them have roots in "Domostroy": "Baba's way from the stove to the threshold", "The chicken is not a bird, the woman is not a man", "A woman's hair is long, her mind is short." But along with them, others, of a new kind, are already sounding: "Husband is the head, wife is the soul", "A woman's mind is better than any thoughts", "It's a bad thing if the wife did not order."

There are, for example, proverbs criticizing Russian work and praising, in comparison with it, German or English. However, there are few of them; more than those in which the dignity inherent in other peoples is noted and their abilities are highly valued. This feature of the people's consciousness was subtly captured by NS Leskov, who developed the proverbs about the skill of a Russian person into a story about Lefty, who shoehorned an English flea.

It is the opposite, the ambiguity of some proverbs that creates the feeling of a dispute between the people and themselves about all aspects of life.

The greatest merit of Dahl is the impartial and truthful, up to the merciless, disclosure of the material. His collection of proverbs gave an honest, objective picture of reality and expressively characterized the worldview of the people.

The manuscript of the collection was heavily censored. Some reviews of this work actually accused Dahl of anti-government propaganda, of undermining the foundations and foundations of secular power and Orthodoxy. The collection of proverbs was not approved by the Academy of Sciences either. The political nature of the accusations brought against Dahl made him almost into an enemy of the royal power, which he had never been. Nicholas I himself opposed the publication of the book, considering it "harmful".

By the mid-1850s, Dahl had completely lost hope of publishing Proverbs of the Russian People. Clearly realizing, as an honest scientist, the value of the material he had collected and realizing that the possible loss of the manuscript would be an irreversible loss, Vladimir Ivanovich decided to create several manuscript copies. He presented these copies to his friends, in particular Alexander Nikolaevich Aksakov.

Published by the Imperial Society of Russian History and Antiquities at Moscow University, "Proverbs of the Russian People" immediately took a prominent place in Russian and world science. This publication was perceived by prominent figures of Russian culture as a valuable and significant contribution to literature - they began to look at the collection of proverbs as a treasury of folk wisdom and the wealth of the folk language.

The attention and interest to the "Proverbs of the Russian people" were very great. The collection quickly became a bibliographic rarity, and a lot of money had to be paid for it. In 1877, L. N. Tolstoy asked the Moscow publicist, critic, philosopher N. N. Strakhov to get him a collection of Dahl's proverbs, but this turned out to be not an easy task. “It turns out that this is one of the most beloved books by Russian readers,” Strakhov wrote in response.

There are many proverbs in the works of classical Russian literature. Undoubtedly, A. N. Ostrovsky, M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin and other writers drew proverbs from life itself and from Dahl's collection, as the most complete, accurate and authoritative source.

He greatly appreciated and loved the proverbs of L. N. Tolstoy. There are a great many of them in his works and letters; they organically enter the text and help a clear and figurative presentation of thought. Among Tolstoy's blanks one finds even more proverbs; in particular, in the manuscripts containing the characteristics of Platon Karataev, proverbs are written out from Dahl's collection.

It was from this book that LN Tolstoy chose proverbs and sayings, preparing his collection of folk proverbs. Extracts for this collection, which never came to fruition, are contained in notebook No. 12 for 1880.

The great Russian satirist M. Ye. Saltykov-Shchedrin wrote to the editorial board of Vestnik Evropy in connection with the names of "blockheads", "walrus-eaters" and others, which he introduced into the chapter "On the Root of Origin" in the "History of a City": "I do not argue, maybe this is nonsense, but I claim that none of these names have been invented by me, and in this case I am referring to Dal, Sakharov and other lovers of the Russian nationality."

The collection of V. I. Dahl "Proverbs of the Russian people" retained its modern sound, passing from decade to decade. V.I.Dal died in 1872. Reprints carried out after his death have invariably met with the approval and attentive attitude of the widest readership.

Ancient proverbs and sayings continue to live on now, are applied to modern events, characterize modern people, embodying the great creative potential and eternal wisdom of the people.
