Find proverbs for a Russian folk tale. Write down the name of the fairy tale in which the proverbs are found




For a long time, proverbs about fairy tales have adorned the life of the Russian people. They served as a kind of reminder that the dream world is necessary for both children and adults. Indeed, in addition to beautiful content, fictional stories often carried deep truths that could open their eyes to many things. After all, it's not for nothing that our ancestors did not get tired of repeating the same thing: "A fairy tale is a lie, but a hint, good fellows in a lesson!"

A world made for children

A fairy tale is, first of all, a beautiful story, invented in order to please a child. After all, the child's mind requires magic, otherwise it becomes too bored. This is quite normal, and the proverbs about fairy tales constantly remind us of this.

Here are some striking examples of oral folk art that prove the above:

  • For children, fairy tales are sweeter than a sugar donut.
  • A good fairy tale, especially for a child.
  • Only in a fairy tale will you see a pig with a golden barrel.
  • For a beautiful story, the children go to bed early.
  • The kids only need to crush the oven and listen to jokes

What is the main thing in history?

Also, proverbs about fairy tales always carried one very important reminder. They did not let me forget that in any story, meaning should come first, not the beauty of the narrative. After all, it is he who helps children learn and draw the right conclusions.

Unfortunately, today this message is often ignored, and modern books for children do not always reflect long-standing ideas about good and evil. That is why it is so important to remember the advice of our ancestors and put them into practice. So, here are some good examples of proverbs about the meaning of morality in children's fiction:

  • Fairy tales are red not in letters, but in what they stand for.
  • History is not folded in writing, but folded in fiction.
  • Not all drinking water is good, not every fairy tale is worth listening to.
  • Eat porridge, but also listen to a fairy tale, and put on your ears what the mind has caught.
  • Without having finished reading the story, do not drop the pointer.
  • Wisdom is not true, it can take root in a fairy tale.

A small instruction for the storyteller

Reading some proverbs about fairy tales, you involuntarily understand that they are not addressed to those who listen to these amazing stories, but to those who compose them. Simply put, they are a kind of instruction that can help storytellers. After all, this business is only at first glance simple, but once you start practice, words and sentences begin to slip away ...

In addition, as mentioned above, these wise sayings tirelessly remind you that the most important thing in such stories is that they can convey to the listener. And here are a few proverbs to prove this:

  • If a fairy tale is sweet, then everyone is drawn to listen to it.
  • He was small - he listened to fairy tales, grew up - he began to compose himself, but they just don't listen.
  • Any fable in a children's fairy tale is good.
  • A fairy tale is gold that glitters in the eyes of the guys.
  • Even a good storyteller can fall asleep without prompting.
  • The tale begins first, is read to the end, and is not interrupted in the middle.

A great variety of Russian proverbs and sayings

Among other things, there are proverbs about fairy tales that are difficult to categorize. Moreover, there are a great many such works of oral folklore, and this is sometimes breathtaking.

So, some of them remind us of old fairy tales, such as the proverb about the white calf. Others, on the contrary, push people to come up with more and more new stories. And still others do not carry a special semantic load at all. There were also proverbs and sayings in fairy tales, or rather, they were specially inserted there in order to give them a new life.

For example, let's take the most famous proverbs, which are quite difficult to classify into a separate category:

  • Once upon a time there was a king, he had an excellent hound, but there was no dog - that's the whole story.
  • On fairy tales that on a sled.
  • The end of the fairy tale has come, and give me a crown of bagels.
  • I would also tell the story, but I forgot it at home.
  • The story has everything, but in the hands after it is empty.
  • There was a time, and we told fairy tales.
  • Either do the work, or listen to the fairy tale.

Introduction

From early childhood, we begin our acquaintance with oral folk art: fairy tales, proverbs and sayings. We especially love fairy tales. From them we get the first experience of research and knowledge of the world. Everything in fairy tales seems to us to be true and we worry about good heroes and want to punish evil. Over the years, we begin to understand that fairy tales are far from the present. But the proverb "A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it - a lesson for good fellows" teaches us that not all of the fairy tales must be forgotten, a lot of folk wisdom has been laid down for centuries in fairy tales and passed from mouth to mouth. All fairy tales are instructive, they carry something mysterious, enigmatic, magical. And proverbs and sayings are living folk thought, experience and truth.

Studying mathematics, I decided to return once again to Russian folk art, to study fairy tales, proverbs and sayings on the use of numbers and numerical significance in them. After all, fairy tales are not only magic, they have a place for science.

Object my research are Russian folk tales, proverbs and sayings.

Subject studies are numbers in fairy tales, proverbs and sayings.

Problem: the numbers used in fairy tales, proverbs and sayings are taken by chance or have a meaning, contain a deep meaning.

Target: identify the numbers that are most often used in fairy tales, proverbs and sayings, study their function and prove that each of the numbers has a scientific, religious and everyday meaning for people of that time.

When planning the study, tasks:

1) analyze fairy tales, proverbs and sayings in which there are numerical expressions;

2) to identify the frequency of the use of numbers and their role in fairy tales;

3) study the meaning of frequently used numbers among the Slavs, Greeks and other ancient peoples;

4) analyze and draw a conclusion;

5) apply this material in the lessons of extracurricular activities in mathematics.

Research methods: reading fairy tales, proverbs and sayings, studying the meanings of a number, compiling a frequency table, comparing, analyzing, proving.

Relevance the chosen theme lies in the fact that numbers at all times are of great importance for the fate of people.

Hypothesis: not any numbers are found in oral folk art, but those that have scientific, religious and everyday significance for people of that time.

Part 1.

    1. Science, nature and religion in numbers.

Oral folk art is everything that is created by the spiritual culture of people over the centuries of its historical life. It is also called folklore, that is, folk wisdom.

Fairy tales are works of oral folk art based on invented events.

A proverb is a short sentence containing folk wisdom. It is written in simple folk language, often has rhyme and rhythm.

A proverb is an established phrase or phrase, a figurative expression, a metaphor.

In Russian folklore, numbers are of great importance, they are very often found in fairy tales, proverbs and sayings. What did people know about numbers at the time? Different sources give different meanings of numbers, but they are all very similar.

Zero is a symbol of the absolute, infinity, this is the beginning of all things, is it a dream or death. Graphically depicted as a ring or circle.

Two - "Light and Shadow". It symbolizes contrast, confrontation between two opposite principles, eternal struggle and antagonism between them. Between active and passive, male and female, light and darkness, good and evil, warm and cold, plus and minus, life and death. Two is the force that tries to divide the One into two opposites. The number two includes harmony and duality.

Three is the "Sacred Number". Three is the main number in the series of Sacred numbers. The very observation of nature suggested a special meaning of this number. People everywhere met, or thought they did, division by three. They saw that the universe is composed of heaven, earth, and water; before them stood the heavenly bodies: the sun, the moon and the stars; in bodies they observed three dimensions: length, width and height; in time: past, present and future. And since the religion of the ancients was associated with natural phenomena, they put the division into three as the basis of their theoretical systems, and this number received the meaning of the sacred. The ancients considered the number "three" perfect because it has a beginning, a middle and an end, and depicted it as a triangle.

The number "three" entered the Christian religion, believers represent God in the form of a trinity: Father - Son - Holy Spirit. It is curious that the number "three" was considered not only as happy ("God loves the trinity"), but also as unhappy ("damned").

Four - "Quartet". This is the number of cosmic elements, the creative forces of the Universe: Fire, Earth, Air, Water. These are four seasons and the corresponding periods of life: spring, (childhood), summer (youth), autumn (maturity), winter (old age). The number "four" symbolizes stability, order, integrity, completeness, harmony, rationality, perfect balance, steadfastness, reliability, realism, stability and strength.

Five people". Pythagoras assigned a special place to this number, considering it the happiest of all numbers. The ancients considered the number "five" a symbol of risk, attributed to it unpredictability, energy and independence. Numerical correctness: 5 - prime number; 5 fingers - five-fold number system; 5-pointed star; 5 senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch, balance), 5 main holidays in Orthodoxy: Circumcision of the Lord, Nativity of John, Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, Beheading of John the Baptist, Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos, 5 precepts of Buddhism, a Muslim prays 5 times in a day. The number "five" is considered a lucky number because it symbolizes constant search and self-improvement.

Six is ​​the "Perfect Number". The number "six" is the number of Creation and means creativity, creation, labor, work. According to the biblical teaching, "God created the world in six days." It is a symbol of the combination of Divine freedom and hard work on Earth. It is a symbol of family, love, health, beauty, luck, happiness, perfect balance. Pythagoras considered it an amazing number, since it has a remarkable property: it is obtained as a result of the addition or multiplication of all the numbers by which it is divided. Six is ​​divisible by 1, 2, 3, and if you add or multiply these numbers, you get 6 again (1 + 2 + 3 = 1 x 2 x 3 = 6). No other number has this property. Numerical correctness: 6 is a perfect number, 6 is the number of items in tea and table sets. Geometric correctness: regular, flat, convex figure - regular hexagon.

Seven is the "Universal Number". Seven is one of the series of Sacred Numbers (3, 7, 12, 60). It symbolizes mystery, as well as study and knowledge as a way of exploring the unknown and invisible. The number 7 literally permeates the entire history of the culture of the peoples of the Earth. The ancient Jews revered the number sacredly. The Holy Scripture says: "... In six days the Lord created heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them, and rested on the seventh day." Since then, the Jews, and then all Christians who took over the Old Testament from them, consider "seven" a sacred number. Christianity speaks of seven sins and seven sacraments.

This magic number was widely used in fairy tales and myths of the ancient world. Atlas, who supported the firmament with his shoulders, had seven pleiadic daughters, whom Zeus later turned into constellations. Odysseus was held captive by the nymph Calypso for seven years. For the Babylonians, the underworld is surrounded by seven walls. Buddha was sitting under a fig tree with seven fruits. The Hindus have a custom of giving seven elephants for good luck. Lent among Christians lasts seven weeks. The Bible tells of seven lamps, seven angels, seven years of abundance and seven years of hunger.

The seven does not have special geometric correctness, and this number is very inconvenient for calculations, but from time immemorial it was revered as a sacred number.

Eight - "World Harmony". The number "eight" is one of the most difficult to explain numbers. Even its shape - two circles touching each other - speaks of duality. Two worlds - spiritual and material - merged into one in this number.

Nine - "The end of the road." The number "nine" is a symbol of universal success, complete perfection. It contains the entire cycle of life from birth to death, a full circle of 360 degrees (3 + 6 + 0 = 9). The number "nine" is directly related and dependent on the number "three". Sometimes it is thought of as the number "three", only in an enhanced form: 9 = 3 × 3. It is interesting that if in the most ancient legends it is said about three muses, then in the later ones - mainly about nine. The numbers "three" and "nine" found special application in everyday relationships. For example, at feasts there was a rule: to drink three bowls or nine, but never four or five. In the speech of a number of peoples, the "ninth wave" is a symbol of a formidable danger or the highest ascent, a mighty force. He, as it were, crowns some process and lays the foundation for the transition to a new quality. Among the Slavs, commemorations for the deceased are sent on the 9th day after his death. Apparently, this also indicates some kind of renewal process, but already in the other world.

From 3x3 = 9 a step is made to 3x9 = 27. This number also has magical power, for example, when casting the spirits of diseases. From him comes the famous fabulous "beyond the land."

Twelve - "Dozen". The number "twelve" was very revered by the ancients: it closed the light, therefore it was considered a symbol of completeness, wealth, a lucky number. In addition, this number was very convenient for counting: it can be divided without remainder by 2, 3, 4 and 6. The number "twelve" entered many counting systems. So, in a number of countries it was considered dozens (a dozen - 12 pieces), an English foot is 12 inches, a shilling is 12 pence. The "convenience" of this number was also reflected in religions: Christ, and before him Buddha, had 12 followers.

For a long time, among many peoples, including the Slavs, the largest number known to them was the number "forty". And everything that lies outside this number is an indefinite set, an unknown. Therefore, the next number 41 is considered fatal. At a later time, the number "forty" has ceased to be the limit, but has been preserved in proverbs, sayings, fairy tales, and rituals. Wake of the Slavs takes place on the fortieth day. Moses was in the wilderness for forty years. According to legend, killing a spider means getting rid of 40 sins.

Sixty is known as the number of time. The number "sixty" has been considered sacred since ancient times: the circle is divided into 60 degrees, in each degree 60 minutes for 60 seconds each, an hour lasts 60 minutes, etc. In Egypt, it symbolized longevity. In China, it is a cyclical number that symbolizes the sexagesimal cycle, known in the West as the "Chinese cycle."

    1. Sacred numbers of the ancient Slavs.

In fairy tales, epics, and in the lives of saints, a certain numerical symbolism appears, a set of sacred numbers repeating in different images and carrying a certain meaning. These numbers not only paint us a unique picture of the Russian universe, ordering it, but also simply contain a cultural code. The most typical numbers in Russian folk art are the sacred numbers of the ancient Slavs. These are the numbers 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 21, 40.

The troika in Russia was considered the embodiment of the spiritual principle. As in European culture, it symbolizes completeness and completeness. The significance of the troika manifested itself not only in Russian religious thought, but also in the familiar fairy tales, legends and everyday traditions.

The veneration of the five in the Russian tradition also has Christian origins. The number often appears in the Gospel - five loaves of bread filled five thousand people, the one who received five talents multiplied them by another five, five wise and five foolish virgins became a symbol of the readiness to meet the divine.

Seven is one of the most common numbers in Russian culture, a symbol of good luck. Mythology tells us about the seven gods of the ancient Russian pantheon, the seven heavens, the god Semargl. In Orthodox numerical symbolism, the seven is found even more often: seven sacraments, seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, seven virtues and deadly sins, seven Archangels, seven prophets, seven-day fasting and repentance.

Nine often appears in Russian legends, but at the same time it is associated with a three. In Slavic tales, a snake has not only three, but three times three heads, which the hero must cut off with a dunned sword. The Far Away Kingdom is a distant magical land where many fabulous events take place. In Orthodoxy, we meet nine angelic ranks. These are Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Powers, Authorities, Beginnings, Archangels and Angels.

The number fifteen is associated with Orthodox chronology. Time in it was divided into indicts - periods of 15 years, and, making up the Easter circle, the priests made calculations within this period. The sacredness of the number fifteen is closely related to the veneration of the Mother of God.

The fabulous "three" multiplied by the happy "seven" - the number 21 was filled with sacred meaning in the ancient Russian tradition. It played an important role in Easter calculations, and, in addition, in ancient calendars, 21 days of each month were dedicated to the Mother of God.

Part 2.

2.1. The frequency of the use of numbers and their role in Russian folk tales.

In order to analyze what role numbers play in fairy tales, I examined 20 Russian folk tales. In the texts of 20 Russian folk tales, the numbers were mentioned about 185 times.

I have compiled a table of the frequencies of the use of numbers in fairy tales. The first places in the rating were taken by the numbers: “3”, “2”, “1”, “12” and the fabulous numbers “distant” and “thirty”.

The number "3" occurs 83 times in the studied tales. "Three" is the most common number in fairy tales. In fairy tales, it means three wishes, three attempts, three from a casket, a stone at three roads, three heads at a monster. Three stages of events: first, second and third nights, first, second and third battles.

In fairy tales, we usually meet: a stone at a crossroads, which offers the hero three ways, three choices, three kingdoms that must be traversed - copper, silver and gold, the father has three sons or three daughters.

Three is a very important number for our ancestors. It connects scientific (three dimensions of space), religious (Holy Trinity) and everyday values ​​(three stages of human life). All this is due to its frequent use in fairy tales.

The number "2" occurs 31 times in the studied tales. In fairy tales, it is most often found to denote the pairing of heroes, circumstances. This is due to the fact that there are always two opposites in life: good and evil, black and white, light and darkness, warm and cold, wealth and poverty, and many stories of fairy tales are based on opposition. This number is used for a reason, it also carries scientific (life and death), religious (light and darkness) and everyday (man and woman) meanings.

The number "1" occurs 19 times in the studied tales. The number one in fairy tales most often indicates the choice (one of the few) or the orphanhood of the hero ("lonely"), but this hero always copes with difficulties and overcomes evil. The unit is of great importance to our ancestors. Many enemies who threatened the borders of the Russian land had to be contained. The people have always had the dream of a defender, of a hero, of a single higher power. This dream was described in fairy tales and epics.

The number "12" occurs 17 times. It most often denotes the number of heroes ("twelve brothers - good fellows"), and serves to enhance the mystery, enigma, miracle: at exactly 12 o'clock incredible transformations and magic begin, therefore the symbolism of the number 12 is most often used in fairy tales. This number has several meanings in the life of people of that time: counting in dozens, twelve apostles, twelve months a year.

The numbers "distant" and "thirty" occur 7 times. They, most likely, denote 3 · 9 = 27 and 3 · 10 = 30, in fairy tales they are found in the expressions “the far kingdom, the thirtieth state” and beyond the “distant lands”. These expressions mean "very far", where they have not yet gone and where they have not yet been. Thus, a hero who goes "far off the ground" must, in his wanderings, cross an appropriate number of fairly large territories and state borders between them. In some fairy tales, the expressions "Far away kingdom, thirtieth state" symbolize a journey to the Kingdom of the Dead, to the Underwater Kingdom, to another world.

2.2. Numbers in proverbs and sayings.

I also researched the use of numbers in proverbs and sayings (Appendix 1). I have compiled a table of frequencies according to proverbs and sayings.

The table shows that the numbers "1", "2", "7", "100" and "3" are most often used in proverbs and sayings. As in fairy tales, proverbs and sayings use 1, 2 and 3. These numbers have the same meaning as in fairy tales. However, the numbers 7 and 100 are rare in Russian fairy tales. These numbers mean the concept of "a lot" and are opposed to one or other small value. They also have scientific, religious and everyday significance for our ancestors, especially the number "7": seven is a sacred number, seven days in a week, seven sins and seven virtues, seven wonders of the world and seven heavens. All the proverbs and sayings with the 7 are very witty, fair, well-marked and beautiful. They are easy to remember and are often used today.

Conclusion

In the course of my research work, I studied the meanings of numbers for the ancient Slavs and other peoples. I have analyzed many folk tales, proverbs and sayings in which numerical expressions are encountered. I calculated the frequency of using various numbers in fairy tales and proverbs, and made a rating of frequently used numbers. I was able to analyze the values ​​of these numbers.

The work done allows us to draw the following conclusions:

in 20 texts of Russian folk tales, numerical expressions were encountered 185 times;

The most common functions of numbers are functions: the number of trials (attempts, battles) that the heroes must go through, the amount of time (days, nights, years) spent on the way, the time from one action to another, the number of children in seven, the distance to the kingdom, in which fabulous events take place.

I researched 140 proverbs and sayings in which numbers are found, according to the frequency of use, the number "1" is in the first place, the number "2" is on the second, the number "7" is on the third, the number "100" is on the fourth, fifth - "3".

Having connected frequently used numbers with their meanings, I came to the conclusion that the numbers in oral folk art were not chosen by chance. These numbers have scientific, religious and everyday meanings for our ancestors. This means that the hypothesis put forward has been confirmed. Numerals play an important role in a fairytale text and proverbs with sayings, and the study of their function helps to see, feel the depth of the worldview, and penetrate the thought laid down by the people.

Russian oral folklore is an inexhaustible source of wisdom. Fairy tales, proverbs and sayings convey sacred knowledge about the world in encrypted form, containing two main plans. The outer plan is a plot with fascinating twists and characters. The second plane is hidden from the view of the ordinary reader - this is the symbolic level. Here, each image, hero and plot, each number is a special symbol, code, key that helps to unravel the deep meaning of oral folk art.

Russian folk tales are part of folklore, as are proverbs... In the old days, fairy tales were passed from mouth to mouth, so they have come down to us. Accurate, wise sayings, loved by the people, from fairy tales passed into colloquial speech and became proverbs. In addition, in fairy tales there are so-called sayings - verbal formulas that tune the listener to an entertaining narrative, words and expressions often repeated in a fairy tale, sentenced without much sense and meaning. Here is a fragment from the book by Vladimir Ivanovich Dahl "Proverbs and Sayings of the Russian People":

“There are many such conditional sentences in fairy tales:“ Soon the fairy tale will tell itself, but it will not be done soon ”; "Whether close, far away, low, high"; “Beyond the distant lands, in the thirty-tenth state,” etc. Both simple and fabulous idle talk sometimes turn into a proverb, containing a conventional meaning; for example: “I would be good, yes, you see, my wife is not good; well, I am too happy ”; about an empty, formidable chief: "I rode above the forest of a standing man, below a walking cloud"; about severity and non-potty to whom: "He is quieter than water, he has become lower than grass", etc.

  • Proverbs from Dahl's collection,
  • Proverbs with the word "fairy tale"
  • Fairy tales with proverbs
  • Proverbs suitable for fairy tales.

Proverbs and sayings from the collection of Dahl

In the book by V. I. Dahl "Proverbs of the Russian people" two sections are devoted to the theme of proverbs from fairy tales: "Sayings" and "Fairy tale-song". Let's start with them.

Once upon a time there was a king oats, he took away all the tales.
Not in words (Not in a fairy tale) to say, not to write with a pen.

Proverbs and sayings - it seems that this is something from deep childhood, from a colorful textbook on reading 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 because of that ... After all, in proverbs - folk wisdom. The experience of generations that 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.

Proverbs can be called a storehouse of experience and wisdom in their purest form. This is a short dictum, instructive in spirit and complete in meaning. For example: "You can't easily catch a fish from a pond."

Rather, it is just a stable combination that expresses some kind of thought, concept instead of any word, or denoting a frequently repeated, recognizable phenomenon: “like two drops of water”, “like snow on the head”, “neither think, nor guess, not to describe with a pen "...

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

Then, when literature, print, even television spread, the storehouse of wisdom began to be replenished with "author's" proverbs and sayings - the catch phrases of the heroes of favorite films, well-aimed turns in the texts of books ... But the meaning of proverbs and sayings in our life remained the same: a hint at a crossroads, consolation in trouble, a reminder of what must not be forgotten ...
