Vladimir Ivanovich Dal
1000 Russian proverbs and sayings

Proverb is not judged 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 Proverbs of the Russian People, which includes more than thirty thousand proverbs, sayings and well-aimed words.

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

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

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 Dorpat University, graduated from it in 1829 and became an oculist 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 transition 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 while crossing the Vistula. He was the first to use electric current in the explosive business, having mined the crossing and blown 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.

Dal began collecting words and expressions of the Russian folk language in 1819. Even in the Naval Corps, he was engaged in literature, wrote poetry. Driving once in the Novgorod province, 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, well-aimed 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 of the wealth of Russian proverbs. According to contemporaries, the great poet, in fact, strengthened Dahl in his intention to collect a dictionary of the living folk language.

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

In the tragic days of January 1837, Dahl, as a close friend and as a doctor, took an active part in the care of the mortally wounded Pushkin. It was to Dahl 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. Five first." 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, Dal was released. But he could no longer publish under his own name and signed with the pseudonym Cossack Lugansky. It was under this pseudonym that one of the favorite fairy tales of our childhood, “Ryaba the Hen,” was published.

Dahl's works are full of proverbs and sayings. Sometimes, instead of a detailed description of the hero, his assessment is given only in the proverb: “He ... would not have to live like this - from morning to evening, but 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 to the fullest - you won’t teach”; "Whoever can, he will gnaw at him."

The Proverbs of the Russian People (1862) and The Explanatory Dictionary (1864), which were 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, the collections of Knyazhevich, Snegirev, handwritten sheets and notebooks reported from different sides, and - most importantly - the living Russian language, and more is 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 "Letterbook" (1769), "Collection of 4291 ancient Russian proverbs" attributed to the professor of Moscow University Barsov (1770), the collection "Russian proverbs" by I. Bogdanovich (1785). The first significant study of 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 of becoming the most accurate, deep and faithful researcher of oral folk art.

The extensive material collected by Dalem forced him to group the proverbs in the collection into headings, sections. These headings 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, grumpy and stupid, lovers of scandal, swaggering, overly proud people.

Many proverbs spoke about the peasant world, about joint work, the strength of the rural community. “You can overcome the devil with a cathedral,” the proverb claimed. “What the world has ordered, then God has judged”, “The world will roar, so the forests are moaning”, “Together - not heavy, but apart - at least drop it”, “You can solve every business with the world” ...

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

And how many stable phrases are 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 a lot, which was put into a hat, and then pulled from it.

In almost every section of Dahl's Proverbs of the Russian People, one can encounter inconsistency in materials. And this is natural - after all, real life is full of contradictions. Here it is very important to distinguish shades, as well as a 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 that characterize the position of a woman in the family. Many of them have roots in Domostroy: “Baba is dear from the oven to the doorstep”, “A chicken is not a bird, a woman is not a person”, “A woman has long hair, her mind is short”. But along with them, others, of a new kind, are already sounding: “Husband is the head, wife is the soul”, “The female mind is better than any thoughts”, “It's a bad thing if the wife did not order”.

There are, for example, proverbs that criticize Russian work and praise, in comparison with it, German or English. However, these are few; more than those in which the virtues inherent in other peoples are noted, and their abilities are highly valued. This feature of the people's consciousness was subtly captured by N. S. Leskov, who developed proverbs about the skill of a Russian person into a story about Lefty, who shod 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.

Dahl's greatest merit is the impartial and truthful, even 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 subjected to strict censorship. 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 at the Academy of Sciences either. The political nature of the accusations brought against Dahl turned him almost into an opponent of the royal power, which he never was. The publication of the book was opposed by Nicholas I himself, considering it "harmful".

By the mid-1850s, Dahl had completely lost hope of publishing Proverbs of the Russian People. Being clearly aware, as an honest scientist, of the importance of the material he had collected and realizing that the possible loss of the manuscript would be an irretrievable loss, Vladimir Ivanovich decided to create several handwritten 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 edition 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.

Attention and interest in the "Proverbs of the Russian people" were very great. The collection quickly became a bibliographic rarity, and one had to pay a lot of money for it at that time. 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 books most beloved 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, even more proverbs are found; in particular, in the manuscripts containing the characteristics of Platon Karataev, proverbs from Dahl's collection are written out.

It was from this book that L. N. 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. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin wrote to the editorial office of Vestnik Evropy in connection with the names “bunglers”, “walrus eaters” and others introduced by him in the chapter “On the Root of Origin” in “The History of a City”: “I don’t argue, maybe this is nonsense, but I affirm that none of these names are invented by me, and in this case I refer to Dahl, Sakharov and other lovers of the Russian people.”

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. The reprints carried out after his death invariably met with the approval and attention of the widest readership.

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

Proverbs and sayings of the Russian people

Naputnoye

“Will it be, will it not be when this collection will be printed, with which the collector cherished his age, but, parting with it, as if with the business over, I don’t want to leave it without a parting word.”

This introduction was written in 1853, when the dismantling of proverbs was completed; let it remain even now, when the fate of the collection has been decided and it has been published.

According to the established procedure, one should have launched a search: what is a proverb; where did it come from and what is it suitable for; when and what editions of proverbs we published; what are they; What sources did the current collector use? Scholarly references could tint the matter, because it seems that Aristotle had already defined the proverb.

But there is only a very small amount of all this here.

Scientific definitions are now little in use, the age of scholasticism has passed, although we still cannot shake off the rags of its sedate mantle.

The times when the benefits of science or knowledge, to which the book was dedicated, were explained in the introduction, also passed; now they believe that every conscientious work is useful and that this benefit cannot be countered by tales.

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

The analysis and evaluation of other publications should have ended with a direct or indirect modest recognition that ours is the best of all.

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

I did not go into any antiquity, I did not parse ancient manuscripts, and the antiquity included in this collection got there from the printed collections. I looked through only one old manuscript and took from it what could now go for a proverb or saying; This manuscript was given to me by Mr. Dm. Nick. Tolstoy, I gave M.P. Pogodin, and from there it was printed in its entirety, in the form of an addition, with the collection of proverbs by I.M. Snegirev.

In this case, I must say sincere thanks to all the well-meaning givers, helpers and accomplices; I dare not name anyone, fearing, out of forgetfulness, to miss too many, but I cannot but name with gratitude gr. Dm. Nick. Tolstoy, I.P. Sakharov and I.M. Snegirev.

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

In the collection of Knyazhevich (1822) there are only 5300 (with dozens) proverbs; I.M. was added to them. Snegirev up to 4000; of all this number, I have eliminated altogether or not accepted in the form in which they are printed, up to 3500; in general, from books or print, I have taken hardly more than 6,000, or about fifth my collection. The rest are taken from private notes and collected by ear, in an oral conversation.

In this comparison and choice, timidity and doubt attacked me more than once. Whatever you say, but in the rejection of this arbitrariness cannot be avoided, and reproach for it even more so. It is impossible to blindly reprint everything that, under the name of proverbs, was printed; distortions, either by cleverness, or from misunderstandings, or simply by typos and misprints, are excessively ugly. In other cases, these errors are obvious, and if such a proverb came to me in its original form, then the correction or choice did not make it difficult; but the trouble is that I could not confine myself to these cases, but had to decide on something and with regard to those thousand proverbs, for the correction of which I did not have the correct data, and throwing them out would not mean to correct.

Not understanding the proverb, as often happens, you consider it nonsense, you believe that it was invented by someone for jokes or irreparably distorted, and you do not dare to accept it; en you're right, just look straight ahead. After several similar cases or discoveries, you will inevitably become shy, you will think: “Who gave you the right to choose and reject? Where is the limit of this intelligibility? After all, you are gaining flower garden, a compilation» and you begin to collect and place everything in a row again; let it be superfluous, let others judge and sort it out; but then suddenly you run into lines like the following:

Everyone knows that the evil ones live flatteringly.

A year has passed in the hustle and bustle, there has always been trouble.

Where love is not hypocritical, there is true hope.

Luxurious and stingy measures of contentment do not know.

The young man walked down the Volga, but came across death not far away.

One must not die before death, etc., etc.

What do you want to do with such sayings of the confectionery wisdom of the twenties? throw out; but they were found under another thousand, and just as many dubious ones, with whom you don’t know what to do, so as not to be accused of arbitrariness. Therefore, due to the difficulty of such a rejection, and partly by viewing, you can’t save any sin - and this collection includes many empty, distorted and dubious proverbs.

Regarding decency, when rejecting proverbs, I adhered to the rule: everything that can be read aloud in a society that is not perverted by stiffness, or excessive ingenuity, and therefore touchiness, - all this should be taken into my collection. Everything is clean to the pure. Blasphemy itself, if it were found somewhere in folk sayings, should not frighten us: we collect and read proverbs not only for fun and not as moral instructions, but for study and search; therefore we want to know everything that is. Let us note, however, that the sharpness or brightness and directness of expressions, in images unusual for us, do not always contain the obscenity that we see in this. If a peasant says: “What is it to pray to that god who does not have mercy”; or “I asked the saint: it came to the word to ask the accursed,” then there is no blasphemy in this, because here gods and saints to strengthen the concept, people are named, appointed for the sake of holy, divine truth, but doing the opposite, forcing the offended and oppressed to seek protection also through untruth and bribery. The proverb itself, striking us with the convergence of such opposites, personifies only the extremeness and intolerability of the perverted state that gave rise to such a saying.

That for proverbs and sayings it is necessary to go to the people, no one will argue about this; in an educated and enlightened society there is no proverb; one comes across weak, crippled echoes of them, transferred to our customs or vulgarized in a non-Russian language, and bad translations from foreign languages. High society does not accept ready-made proverbs, because these are pictures of a way of life alien to it, and not its language; but he does not lay down his own, maybe out of politeness and secular decency: the proverb does not prick in the eyebrow, but right in the eye. And who will remember in good in society, a harrow, a plow, a mortar, bast shoes, and even more so a shirt and background? And if we replace all these expressions with the sayings of our everyday life, then somehow a proverb does not come out, but a vulgarity is composed, in which the whole hint comes out.

As a property of the whole people, as a world citizen, enlightenment and education go their way by eye, with a level in their hands, plucking bumps and mounds, leveling pits and potholes, and bring everything under one canvas. In our country, more than anywhere else, enlightenment - such as it is - has become a persecutor of everything native and popular. Just as, in recent times, the first sign of a claim to enlightenment was the shaving of a beard, so direct Russian speech and everything related to it was generally avoided. Since the time of Lomonosov, from the first stretching and stretching of our tongue along the Roman and German block, this work has been continued with violence and more and more removed from the true spirit of the language. Only very recently have they begun to guess that the goblin has bypassed us, that we are circling and straying, having lost our way, and we will go no one knows where. On the one hand, the zealots of ready-made foreign, not considering it necessary to first study their own, forcibly transferred to us everything in the form in which it came across on foreign soil, where it had been suffered and worked out, whereas here it could only be accepted with patches and gloss; on the other hand, mediocrity vulgarized what, zealous, tried to bring from native life into the glove class. Cheremis on one side, and beware on the other. Be that as it may, but from all this it follows that if you do not collect and save folk proverbs in time, then they, displaced by the level of impersonality and colorlessness, a haircut with a comb, that is, by public education, will fade like springs in a drought.

The common people stubbornly keep and preserve their primordial way of life, and in its inertness there is both a bad and a good side. Fathers and grandfathers are a great thing for him; having burned himself on milk more than once, he blows on the water, incredulously accepts the novelty, saying: “Everything is new and new, but when will it be kinder?” He reluctantly recedes from what he unconsciously sucked with his mother's milk and what sounds in his little strained head in his coherent speech. Neither foreign languages nor grammatical reasoning confuse him, and he speaks correctly, correctly, aptly and eloquently, without knowing it himself. I will express my conviction directly: the verbal speech of a person is a gift of God, a revelation: as long as a person lives in the simplicity of his soul, as long as his mind has not gone beyond reason, it is simple, direct and strong; as the heart and mind strife, when a person becomes clever, this speech takes on a more artificial construction, in a hostel it is vulgar, and in the scientific circle it acquires a special, conventional meaning. Proverbs and sayings are composed only at the time of primitive simplicity of speech and, as branches close to the root, are worth our study and memory.

Proverbs and sayings of the Russian people

Naputnoye

This introduction was written in 1853, when the dismantling of proverbs was completed; let it remain even now, when the fate of the collection has been decided and it has been published.

But there is only a very small amount of all this here.

Scientific definitions are now little in use, the age of scholasticism has passed, although we still cannot shake off the rags of its sedate mantle.

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

The analysis and evaluation of other publications should have ended with a direct or indirect modest recognition that ours is the best of all.

Everyone knows that the evil ones live flatteringly.

A year has passed in the hustle and bustle, there has always been trouble.

Where love is not hypocritical, there is true hope.

Luxurious and stingy measures of contentment do not know.

The young man walked down the Volga, but came across death not far away.

One must not die before death, etc., etc.

Descending to vernacular, sometimes allowing ourselves to express ourselves with a proverb, we say: "Try on ten times, cut once." We did not invent this saying, but, having taken it from the people, we only distorted it a little; people say more correctly and more beautifully: "Try on with ten and count, cut off with one." In St. Petersburg they also teach the multiplication tablet: two times three, five times six; in our schools they say: twice three, and the people say: two three or two by five, three by six etc. Teaching: reckless, reckless work is often useless - it will never speak out with us under the pen of the proverb: “Cut, but sing songs; you start sewing, you cry"; or: “Shey, yes, there will be no deaf time.” Is it possible to express a deep thought in a more coherent, brighter and shorter way than in a proverb: “You can’t look at death, like at the sun, with all your eyes”; this proverb of ours went, I don’t know how, to the Frenchman Larochefoucauld; in a deft translation, she followed his own and is cited as an example of his mind 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: “The visor does not spoil; nothing to go, so with a tambourine; there is nothing to beat, so with a fist ”; Yes, sometimes we translate: “Sing a swan song; a black cat ran between them; and there are spots in the sun; fifth wheel; there is a stick in the corner, that’s why it’s raining in the yard, ”etc. Do you like these sayings and translations?

But not only will we not compose a single wonderful proverb ourselves, but we even, as it turns out, have a poor understanding of ready-made ones. This has baffled me more than once. To what extent is it necessary and should explain and interpret proverbs? An incomprehensible, inaccessible proverb to the listener is this salt, which seized and does not salt; where to put her? And to interpret a joke or a hint that the reader himself understands is vulgar and cloying; these interpretations and places will take up a lot, and the book comes out voluminous, cramped and without them. Many explanations would require scientific references, and this requires knowledge, sources, and time - in a word, this is a separate and important work. The readers themselves, no matter how few they are found, are also not the same, everyone can have their own requirements - not the sun, you won’t blacken everyone.

I put, and even then already at the time of printing the right, the shortest interpretation, an indication where I could believe that this was necessary for many. Recently, we have seen examples of how strangely and wrongly sometimes our proverbs are understood and interpreted, even condemned: “People get hold of in bulk” was interpreted “from the forcible imposition of goods on someone”; and “Do not take out the rubbish from the hut” was declared nonsense, because it is impossible, at least occasionally, not to sweep the rubbish, and the hut will be good if you never take out the rubbish from it. But bulk is understood here in the sense of a bulk of buyers, not a commodity; if the crowd, the people pour in, they get rich from a brisk sale, which is why a brisk, thorny place is expensive for a merchant, and a place he has hatched in a battle, where fencers bring down out of habit, is twice as expensive. Don't take out the rubbish like any other undistorted proverb that contains the parable, it is direct and right, in the literal and figurative sense: the matter is right, just look straight ahead. In a figurative way: do not carry household bills to people, do not gossip, do not disturb; family squabbles will be sorted out at home, if not under one sheepskin coat, then under one roof. In direct terms: among the peasants, rubbish is never taken out and is not swept out into the street: this, through half a yard of rapids, is troublesome, and besides, the rubbish would be carried by the wind and an unkind person could follow the rubbish, as if on a trail, or following the trail send damage. Rubbish is swept into a pile, under a bench, in a stove or cooking corner; and when they fire up the stove, they burn it. When the wedding guests, testing the patience of the bride, force her to sweep the hut and litter after her, and she sweeps everything again, they say: endured."

“Necess will teach kalachi to eat,” as a parable, was interpreted correctly: need will make you work, hunt. “The need is tricky, the need for inventions is too much” - she will give mind and, if there was no rye bread, she will bring it to the point that there will be wheat. But there is also a direct meaning here: domestic need will force you to go to work. “You can’t bury yourself between a plow and a harrow; look for bread at home, and taxes on the side”; where? The first case on the Volga, in barge haulers; this is still an article to this day, and before the shipping company it was the indigenous, and, moreover, reckless, craft of ten provinces; on the Volga, having passed Samara, you come to kalach (bun, pie, kalach, wheat bread). This is a wonder for horse barge haulers, and it was they, the fathers and grandfathers of today, who made up this proverb.

In terms of intricacy and turn of speech, another one is similar to this one: “Eat pies, but take care of the bread ahead”; it would seem that one should say: "Eat the bread, and take care of the pies in advance"; but the proverb expresses something else: live freely, if possible, eat pies, but with the calculation: eat them so that you don’t eat bread. “The belly is a villain, he doesn’t remember the good old”; "Take money about a white (every) day, money about a red day (holiday) and money about a rainy day (in reserve, for trouble)."

"Captivity goes down, bondage goes up"; here we are talking about the same mother Volga and about the burlachism with which bondage is connected, because the deposits are taken forward, sent home as a quitrent, and the rest is drunk. Captivity, that is need, goes down the water to look for work; up, against the water, goes, or pulls with a strap, bondage. In the literal sense: a serf or a slave ( captivity) is waiting for the best, because there is no worse for him, he is waiting for mercy and trust for his faithful service: this is ahead of him; bonded but he gets more and more confused, owes, eats up and gains new bondage for himself, term after term; Bondage is rising, everything is intensifying, and in the old days it also often ended in servility.

But from these few examples it is clear that such explanations, if the collector had enough for them, would require several years of time and another hundred pages of printing.

We note, however, in this case that proverbs must be interpreted and explained with extreme caution so as not to turn this matter into your own toy. It is especially dangerous to look with a scientist's eye for what you would like to find. The application of proverbs to events, even to personalities, according to namesake, to ancient customs, to the dubious fable of idolatry, etc., turns out, in many cases, to be a stretch of the imagination. I think, for example, that sayings: "Lisa Patrikeevna", "Patrikey himself the third" - to the Lithuanian prince Patricius, and "Ananyin's grandson is coming from Velikiye Luki" - to the Novgorod posadnik Ananya - an arbitrariness based on nothing; I even think that “The enemy is strong, he rolls in blue” does not refer to blue lightning and perun, but simply hints at the blue caftan as a sign of prosperity, wealth; the evil one spreads his nets on everyone, and the blue of the caftan also falls. “The doomed beast is not a beast” is also hardly said by us since the times of idols and does not refer to its dooming to sacrifice to the gods, which is nowhere remembered among the people; doomed brute one that is doomed by fate to death, not tenacious, not durable; this is the usual consolation and carelessness, and stubbornness, and ruthlessness in trouble; the cattle has healed - leave it to the will of God; if she lives, she will be alive, and if doomed then she doesn't animal, not belly, not good, not property to you. Trying to explain dark proverbs and apply them to the byt, which this time is before our eyes, we sometimes go far and wiser, where the chest opens simply, without hiding. To this it must be added that the Great Russians, contrary to the Little Russians, have no memory of everyday life; with them everything is limited to the essential and spiritual; antiquity remains in memory and is transmitted, since it concerns everyday life; from this, for the Russian, a direct transition to thoughts and conversations about eternity, about God and heaven, he will not engage in everything else, without outside influence, unless on a special occasion.

So, recognizing the proverb and saying as a current coin, it is obvious that one must follow them where they go; and I held this conviction for decades, writing down everything that I managed to intercept on the fly in an oral conversation. What was collected in advance of me, from the same source, I tried to include, but I did not rummage through the books and, probably, omitted a lot. So, for example, I could not even cope with Buslaev's small but very conscientiously edited collection (Kalachev's Archive, 1854), which I first saw in Moscow in April 1860, when half of my collection had already been printed. Many sayings of our writers, in their brevity and accuracy, are worth proverbs, and here it is impossible not to recall Krylov and Griboyedov; but I included in my collection those only of these sayings that I happened to hear in the form of proverbs, when they, taken into oral speech, went to walk separately. And therefore, in my collection there are book proverbs, but I did not take them from books, unless they had already previously been included in similar collections and, for completeness, passed into mine. I also have translations - which 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 ones, but I did not distort them, but heard or received them in this form; There are sayings from St. scriptures, and they are even for the most part altered, but they were not taken by me from there and not altered by me, but that is how they are spoken; there are vulgar, superstitious, blasphemous, false-wise, savage, absurd, but I did not compose them; my task was: to collect in the fullest possible extent all that is and what it is, as a reserve, for further development and for any conclusions and conclusions anyone wants. They will say: there is a lot of superfluous rubbish; true, but no one sees what is thrown out, but where is the measure for this rejection and how can you guarantee that you will not throw out what could remain? You can reduce from the spacious; to collect a flower garden from the collection, according to your taste, no wonder; and what you miss, it is more difficult to turn back. You will shorten - you will not turn back. Moreover, I had in mind the language; one turn of speech, one word, not noticeable to everyone at first glance, sometimes forced me to keep the most absurd proverb.

The reproach is the most common, and, moreover, the easiest, it happens that this proverb is written incorrectly, it is said not so, but that way. Undoubtedly, there are cases where such a remark is right and deserves thanks; but after all, each proverb is said in several ways, especially if it is applied to the case; it was necessary to choose one, two, many three heteroglossia, but you can’t collect all of them, and you’ll get bored with them.

Wherever I could correctly get to the root turnover and point out distortions, there I did it, although in the most brief notes. Here are examples: “Not until mass, if there is a lot of nonsense”; here nonsense fell on a misunderstanding, instead of rituals, the northern word, which is pronounced there: rob, which means: women's everyday life in the house, cooking, housekeeping at the stove; this can be seen from the friend of this proverb: "Either go to mass, or lead a ritual." Another: "We are not good, here's to you"; this one, apparently, is confirmed by another: "What is not nice to the deacon, then the ass in the censer"; but the first came from the south, she is Little Russian, is not understood among us and therefore distorted: “It’s not good for us, it’s heaven from you”, here you have heaven, heaven; this word has many meanings: a poor man, a poor man, a beggar, a cripple, a holy fool, an unfortunate one, for whom they condole, a relative, a relative, a nephew; this proverb answers ours: “The stepmother fertilized to her stepson: she ordered to sip all the cabbage soup in a conspiracy.” The proverb: “Not with children or not with children, not on children, and sit in honor” is spoken differently and is altered from a misunderstanding: to whom God did not give children or who they die as babies (whose children do not stand), he would be glad and sitting, and legless, crippled; to the desert and sit in honor: after all, Ilya Muromets was a seat. Not understanding this and taking honor, honor to the word, the children, which deprived the proverb of meaning, corrected the matter, turning the sidney into gray hair, into an old man with gray hair, and making it: “Not among children and gray hair in honor,” that is, an adult, a sensible person respects the elderly.

Thus, one word often gives a proverb a different meaning, and if you heard it in one way, and I in another, then it does not follow from this that you heard it more to the right, and I even less so that I myself redid it. Let's take an example of this kind, where not only you and I, but also two other interlocutors say the same proverb, each in his own way, and all four will be right: “Do not call the old dog a wolf” - because it is outdated, no longer fit, do not consider her a wolf, do not treat her like an enemy; “Don’t call the priest’s dog a wolf” - no matter how tired the priest is with greed and his cuddling, but don’t look at his dog like a wolf, she’s not to blame for anything; “Do not call an old dog daddy”, not father - a response to the requirement to respect the old man beyond his merit; an old dog, but not to consider him a father for this; "Don't call the priest's dog daddy" - a response to the demand for respect for random people; whatever you say about respect for the father, for the priest, but his dog is not a father; in this form, the proverb is often applied to the lord's favorites, from the household. Many such examples could be cited: no matter which of these four heteroglossias one chooses, one can say everything: no, that is not how it is said!

I note here that old lists and collections of proverbs can by no means always serve as models and do not at all prove that the proverb is in use from word to word, as it is written. The old men were as wise in this matter as we were, wishing to correct the proverb, to give it a written form, and, as it goes without saying, they fell into vulgarity through this. There are many examples of this. in Pogodinsk. collection 1714, we read: “Being on the other side, I must bow my head, but have a submissive heart.” Isn't it obvious here cleverness and alteration? To this day it is said: “Keep your head bowed (or bowed), and your heart submissively”; if you apply this to a foreign land, then you can start with the words: in a foreign land, on a foreign side, without changing a word afterwards; here everything else was added by the writer, especially the words: being, it is necessary, to have.

In the archive collection. XVII century: "The young man walked down the Volga, but he came across death near for a short time", or, as corrected by Snegirev: "not far away"; Is this a proverb, a saying, or something like that? In the Archival one: “There is no money, it’s on the floor”; this one is still in use and it is said about a drunkard who sits quietly at home, even hiding, if there is nothing to drink; but instead spit must read pret:“As there is no money, so it’s on the floor,” that is, it climbs and lies quietly. In the same place, the proverb: “The soul of the old is not taken out, and the young is not sealed” is not changed for the better: “Until death, the living, the old, the soul is not taken out, and the young is not sealed.”

In Pogodinsky in 1770: “What gray hair decorates, it catches the demon more”; could this be a walking proverb? This is an essay by a collector, for example: "Gray hair in a beard, and a demon in a rib."

In the collection Yankova 1744: “Kumischa, matchmaking - you’ll say goodbye, you’ll miss it”; it doesn't look like anything anymore; let someone understand this nonsense, in which of the four words there is not a single true one, and therefore there is no meaning. Obviously, this is a distortion of the proverb, which still lives among the people: “If you make friends, you woo, you will oversleep, you will catch yourself.” There are many such examples; I cite them as proof that at all times there have been stupid scribes and even collectors who were clever, and that, referring to old manuscripts, it is not always possible to correct new collectors.

My collection was destined to go through many ordeals, long before publication (in 1853), and, moreover, without the slightest search on my part, but at the enlightened participation and insistence of a person whom I do not even dare to hint at, not knowing whether it would be desirable. But people, and moreover, people scientists by rank, recognizing the publication of the collection harmful even dangerous they considered it their duty to expose his other shortcomings, among other things, with these words: “Noticing and eavesdropping on the dialects (?) of the people, Mr. Dal, apparently, did not write them down quickly, but brought them in after, as he could remember; that is why he has a rare (?) proverb so written as it is said among the people. Most (?) of them are seen as follows: he has written: I will scatter this trouble with beans, and the proverb goes like this: I’ll scout someone else’s misfortune with beans, but I won’t clean up my mind».

But I had both proverbs, only each in its place, because their meaning is not the same; yes instead I'll clean up I have written I will apply which I still believe to be true. This trouble I beans or I will scout on beans; the trouble is not great, it will fit into the gate, you can turn away or get off. " I’ll scout someone else’s misfortune on beans, but I won’t apply my mind" - completely different; this means: I will eat someone else's grief with bread, someone else's sore in the side does not sour, but my own sore is a big nodule, etc.

Further: "It is written: God judge your will and the proverb says: God do your will". There is no dispute that the latter is said, and if I did not have it, then I could point to a pass; but the first is also said. " God judge your will"- means that there is no one else to judge her, it is not for us to judge her, but we must submit to her without grumbling; or by accepting judge, according to the old meaning award, make judgment, God judge your will means: create, award according to your will.

Altogether, to prove that rare my proverb is written correctly and that most of them mistakenly noticed, my righteous judges give three examples, that is, one for every ten thousand, and the third is the most remarkable: “The same infidelity is also in the collection (?) of jokes and idle talk; I will give an example of one: he wrote: For nothing, nothing but other things like that, this idle talk among the people is expressed (why doesn’t it say?) as follows: Not for anything else, but only for other such things; and if something is better, then nothing else; that's just all».

Yes, that seems to be all...

Be that as it may, but regardless of such infidelity in my proverbs, proved by the three examples given here, they found that this collection and not safe encroaching on moral corruption. For greater intelligibility of this truth and for the protection of morals from the corruption that threatens them, a new Russian proverb was invented and written, in the report, not quite coherent, but clear in purpose: It's a sack of flour and a pinch of arsenic”- this was said in the verdict about this collection, and to this was added: “In an effort to print monuments of popular stupidities, Mr. Dal tries to give them printed authority” ... the following sayings: “Being blessed is not a sin; Wednesday and Friday is not a pointer to the owner in the house, ”etc.

After this, is it still necessary to mention that hand in hand with the writers of the proverb about arsenic went the conclusion of the judge of the jury, to whom my collection also came without my participation, and that there they found it impermissible to converge proverbs or sayings in a row: “He has debts in his hands (there are many powers )” and “His arms are long (he is a thief)”? And here, as there, they demanded amendments and changes in proverbs, and beyond that exceptions, which "may make up more than a quarter of the manuscript"...

I replied at the time: “I do not know to what extent my collection could be harmful or dangerous to others, but I am convinced that it could become unsafe for me. If, however, he could induce such a respectable person, a member of the highest learned fraternity, to compose a criminal proverb, then he obviously corrupts morals; it remains to put it on the fire and burn it; I ask you to forget that the collection was presented, especially since it was not done by me.

For the sake of truth, I am obliged to say that an opinion opposite to all this was expressed at that time by an enlightened dignitary in charge of 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 the present one, and secondly, to explain our modern way of life. You don't know yourself without looking in the mirror. Moreover, it seems to me that, where we are talking about data for the future history of our enlightenment, everyone is obliged to say what he has evidence in his hands.

This collection includes, in addition to proverbs, proverbial sayings, sayings, sayings, soon (purely) sayings, jokes, riddles, beliefs, signs, superstitions and many sayings that I can’t give a common nickname, even simple turns of speech that have conditionally come into use .

About this, scholarly connoisseurs of the manuscript, who successfully insisted that it remain under wraps for another eight years, were of the following opinion: “It is a pity that all this is combined into one book: through this he (the collector) mixed edification with corruption, faith with false belief and unbelief, wisdom with stupidity and thus dropped his collection a lot ... Obviously, both the honor of the publisher, and the benefit of the readers, and the very prudence would require two thick folios to be divided into several books and printed separately in them: proverbs, sayings, jokes, riddles, omens, etc.” These arguments did not convince me, but I least of all understand how the danger of poisoning would be reduced by such a fragmentation of the whole into parts; perhaps by accustoming to poison gradually? In this collection, which is not a catechism of morality, below is an order to customs and community life, it is precisely the wisdom of the people with the stupidity of the people, the mind with vulgarity, good with evil, truth with lies; a person must appear here as he is in general, on the entire globe, and as he is, in particular, in our people; what is bad, run away; what is good, follow it; but do not hide, do not hide either good or bad, but show what is.
