Folklore and its small genres
Folklore or oral folk art is the basis of all world culture. Literature, music, painting, folk dances - all these areas are still developing thanks to established traditions. "Folk wisdom" - this is how folklore is translated from English.
Proverbs and sayings are small genres of oral folk art. These include small texts of folklore works. These are small but capacious phrases that express the opinion of the people.
Unfortunately, these two concepts are often confused with each other. Let's be clear right away. A proverb is a rhythmized thought, enclosed in one sentence, often generalizes what has been said and is educational in nature. A proverb is a short statement telling about a phenomenon from life with an obvious humorous bias, as a rule, gets a specific meaning only in the context of a conversation.
