How do you explain these strange customs cook birds from dough, inviting spring with this, paint eggs or go to visit carols, bake pancakes and go to your mother-in-law for the evening. These signs helped people determine the seasons, navigate agricultural work, and attract good luck. Sometimes the signs turned out to be more accurate than the forecasts of weather forecasters. Gradually, a folk calendar was formed that supported the Christian way of life and order.

Well done guys, you completed the task. Now it's time to play a little.
We will play two games from different seasons that our distant ancestors played.
Game "Pegs". Our grandparents played this game in the fall during the Exaltation. Listen to the rules of the game. We need to divide into pairs. Pairs of players stand in a circle. One person in each pair sits down - this is the “peg”. Another is standing behind him. We also need one driver. The driver walks in the center of the circle, approaches any pair and speaks.
- Kuma, godmother, sell the peg.
“Buy it,” the players answer.
- What is it worth? - the words of the driver.
- A head of cabbage and a broom and a ruble of money. - the players answer.
- Well, shake hands and go to the bathhouse. - the words of the driver.
You shake hands and run around the “pegs” in different sides. Whoever comes running first stands at the “peg”. The loser becomes the driver.
Now we will choose a driver using a counting rhyme. (Children choose a driver and play the game).
IN game "Gates of Winter and Spring" children played in the spring (March 22) on the Magpie holiday - this was the second meeting of spring. Using a counting rhyme, we select two players. One of them will be “winter” and the other “spring”. Then they face each other, hold hands and raise them to form a “gate.” The players pass through the “gate”, and the “gate” itself says: “the golden gate does not always let you through: the first time it is forgiven, the second time it is forbidden, and the third time we will not let you in!” The "gate" closes when last words and catch the one who ends up in them. The detainee is asked which side he would like to take: “spring” or “winter”. Children make a choice and stand behind the corresponding player. When all the players are divided into two groups, a tug-of-war takes place. Each participant puts their hands on the belt of the person in front and pulls them in their direction.
These are the games our grandparents played.

Signs, properties of folklore

Researchers have noticed many signs and properties that are characteristic of folklore and allow us to get closer to understanding its essence:

Bifunctionality (combination of practical and spiritual);

Polyelementity or syncretism.

Any folklore work has multiple elements. Let's use the table:

Mimic element

Genres of oral prose

Verbal element

Pantomime, mimic dancing

Ritual performance, round dances, folk drama

Verbal and musical (song genres)

Dance element

Musical and choreographic genres

musical element

Collectivity;

Illiteration;

Variant multiplicity;

Traditionality.

For phenomena associated with the development of folklore in other types of culture, the name - folklorism - (introduced at the end of the 19th century by the French researcher P. Sebillot), as well as “secondary life”, “secondary folklore” has been adopted.

In connection with its wide distribution, the concept of folklore itself, its pure forms, arose: thus, the term authentic (from the Greek autenticus - genuine, reliable) was established.

Folk art is the basis of everything national culture. The richness of its content and genre diversity - sayings, proverbs, riddles, fairy tales and more. The special place of songs in the creativity of the people, accompanying human life from cradle to grave, reflecting it in the most diverse manifestations and generally representing enduring ethnographic, historical, aesthetic, moral and highly artistic value.

Features of folklore.

Folklore(folk-lore) – international term English origin, first introduced into science in 1846 by scientist William Toms. Literally translated it means “ folk wisdom", "folk knowledge" and denotes various manifestations of folk spiritual culture.

Other terms have also become established in Russian science: folk poetry, folk poetry, folk literature. The name “oral creativity of the people” emphasizes the oral nature of folklore in its difference from written literature. The name “folk poetic creativity” indicates artistry as a sign by which a folklore work is distinguished from beliefs, customs and rituals. This designation puts folklore on a par with other types of folk art and fiction. 1

Folklore is complex, synthetic art. His works often combine elements various types arts - verbal, musical, theatrical. It is studied by various sciences - history, psychology, sociology, ethnology (ethnography) 2. It is closely related to folk life and rituals. It is no coincidence that the first Russian scientists approached folklore broadly, recording not only works of verbal art, but also recording various ethnographic details and the realities of peasant life. Thus, the study of folklore was for them a unique area of ​​national studies 3 .

The science that studies folklore is called folkloristics. If by literature we mean not only written artistic creativity, and verbal art in general, then folklore is a special branch of literature, and folklore studies, therefore, is part of literary criticism.

Folklore is verbal oral creativity. It has the properties of the art of words. In this way he is close to literature. At the same time, he has his own specific features: syncretism, traditionality, anonymity, variability and improvisation.

The prerequisites for the emergence of folklore appeared in the primitive communal system with the beginning of the formation of art. Ancient art words were inherent utility– the desire to practically influence nature and human affairs.

The oldest folklore was in syncretic state(from the Greek word synkretismos - connection). A syncretic state is a state of unity, non-division. Art was not yet separated from other types of spiritual activity; it existed in conjunction with other types of spiritual consciousness. Later, the state of syncretism was followed by the separation of artistic creativity along with other types public consciousness V independent region spiritual activity.

Folklore works anonymous. Their author is the people. Any of them is created on the basis of tradition. At one time V.G. Belinsky wrote about the specifics of a folklore work: there are no “famous names, because the author of literature is always the people. No one knows who composed his simple and naive songs, in which the inner and outer life young people or tribe. And the song passes from generation to generation, from generation to generation; and it changes over time: sometimes they shorten it, sometimes they lengthen it, sometimes they remake it, sometimes they combine it with another song, sometimes they compose another song in addition to it - and from the songs come poems, of which only the people can call themselves the author." 4

Academician D.S. is certainly right. Likhachev, who noted that there is no author in a folklore work not only because information about him, if he existed, has been lost, but also because he falls out of the very poetics of folklore; it is not needed from the point of view of the structure of the work. In folklore works there may be a performer, a storyteller, a storyteller, but there is no author or writer as an element of the artistic structure itself.

Traditional succession covers large historical periods - entire centuries. According to academician A.A. Potebny, folklore arises “from memorable sources, that is, it is transmitted from memory from mouth to mouth as far as memory lasts, but it has certainly passed through a significant layer of popular understanding” 5 . Each bearer of folklore creates within the boundaries of generally accepted tradition, relying on predecessors, repeating, changing, and supplementing the text of the work. In literature there is a writer and a reader, and in folklore there is a performer and a listener. "Works of folklore always bear the stamp of time and the environment in which they long time lived, or “existed”. For these reasons, folklore is called mass folk art. It does not have individual authors, although there are many talented performers and creators who are fluent in generally accepted traditional techniques of storytelling and singing. Folklore is directly folk in content - that is, in the thoughts and feelings expressed in it. Folklore is also popular in style - that is, in the form of conveying the content. Folklore is folk in origin, in all the signs and properties of traditional figurative content and traditional stylistic forms." 6 This is the collective nature of folklore. Traditionality– the most important and basic specific property of folklore.

Every folklore work exists in large quantities options. Variant (lat. variantis - changing) - each new performance of a folklore work. Oral works had a mobile variable nature.

A characteristic feature of a folklore work is improvisation. It is directly related to the variability of the text. Improvisation (Italian: improvvisazione - unforeseen, suddenly) - the creation of a folklore work or its parts directly in the process of performance. This feature in to a greater extent characteristic of lamentations and crying. However, improvisation did not contradict tradition and was within certain artistic boundaries.

Taking into account all these signs of a folklore work, we present an extremely brief definition of folklore given by V.P. Anikin: “folklore is the traditional artistic creativity of the people. It equally applies to oral, verbal, and other fine arts, both to ancient creativity and to new, created in modern times and created in our days." 7

Folklore, like literature, is the art of words. This gives reason to use literary terms: epic, lyric, drama. They are usually called childbirth. Each genus covers a group of works of a certain type. Genre– type of artistic form (fairy tale, song, proverb, etc.). This is a narrower group of works than the genus. Thus, by genus we mean a way of depicting reality, by genre - a type of artistic form. The history of folklore is the history of changes in its genres. They are more stable in folklore compared to literary ones; genre boundaries in literature are wider. New genre forms in folklore do not arise as a result creative activity individuals, as in literature, but must be supported by the entire mass of participants in the collective creative process. Therefore, their change does not occur without the necessary historical grounds. At the same time, genres in folklore are not unchanged. They arise, develop and die, and are replaced by others. So, for example, epics arise in Ancient Rus', develop in the Middle Ages, and in the 19th century they are gradually forgotten and die out. As living conditions change, genres are destroyed and consigned to oblivion. But this does not indicate the decline of folk art. Changes in the genre composition of folklore are a natural consequence of the process of development of artistic collective creativity.

What is the relationship between reality and its reflection in folklore? Folklore combines a direct reflection of life with a conventional one. “Here there is no obligatory reflection of life in the form of life itself; convention is allowed.” 8 It is characterized by associativity, thinking by analogy, and symbolism.
