Traditionally autumn in Russia - the time of agricultural holidays and harvest rites. At this time, the harvest was harvested, which ensured a happy and well-fed winter, prosperity and well-being in the family.

Small forms of folklore such as proverbs, preserved in speech and reflected the importance of the fruitful season in the life of a person dependent on nature. By means of a proverb, in a short, concise form, people drew analogies between a good harvest and wealth ( "In autumn and a crow has a heap of bread"), noted seasonal changes in the world of animals and plants.

The importance of the weather became the reason for the division of proverbs into phenological periods, that is, according to climatic features. This is how early autumn is distinguished - a bright, joyful period that reflects the beauty and generosity of nature, golden - a wonderful time for wilting leaves and travel of migratory birds, and pre-winter - a time of unpredictable bad weather, a sign to prepare for winter. All these phases thematically correspond to their own types of proverbs. Each autumn month also honored with special sayings.

Proverbs about autumn express the primary interests of the farmer: the health of livestock, folk omens on the weather, which may affect the economy, the desire for prosperity and peace.

“Warm autumn - to a long winter”, “If the autumn is rainy, then the spring will be rainy”, “Autumn cold without snow is black” (the earth is dry and black), “If the earth and winter crops (autumn crops of bread) freeze well from autumn , then even without snow the bread will be born, and if not (that is, it is warm and wet), the root of winter will prop up and do not wait for the harvest.

Autumn signs for leaf fall

“If in the summer yellow leaves appear on the trees early, it will early autumn". "Premature fall of leaves - by early winter." Late leaf fall - for a difficult year: for a harsh and long winter. “If the autumn leaves fall soon, we should expect a harsh winter.” “If a leaf uncleanly falls from the trees (i.e., part of it remains on the trees) - there will be a severe (i.e., cold) winter.”

“If the leaves fall off the birch and aspen cleanly - by an easy and fruitful year.” “Until the leaf from the cherry trees has fallen, no matter how much snow falls, the thaw will rot it and the toboggan path will not be established.” “If in autumn snow falls on the still unfallen leaves, it will be hard for the people.”

Signs of leaf fall - Russian and German - surprisingly converge. They unanimously point out that the late fall of leaves from the trees promises a harsh and unfavorable winter and a late onset of spring.

Here, in Russia, they watch not only how the leaves fall; sooner or later, amicably and cleanly, or the leaf remains on the trees for a long time - when the snow has already fallen, but they also watch how the falling leaf falls to the ground. “If a leaf, crumbling in the fall, lies face up, then this is a crop failure for another year, and if the wrong side (shaggy side) is for harvest” (Dal).

“If aspen leaves lie face up on the ground, the winter will be very cold, and if upside down, it will be warm; half inside out, half face down - the winter will be mild, with alternating heat and cold. “If in autumn the birch leaves begin to turn yellow from the top, then the next spring will be early, and if from the bottom, then late.”

Autumn signs about the weather. Signs of the harvest of some fruits. Harvest acorns on oaks - to a large harvest of bread pa next year. "A lot of acorns on oak - for a warm winter and a fertile summer."

The harvest of hazelnuts also portends the harvest of bread for the coming year. “If nuts are plentiful, and there are few mushrooms, the winter will be snowy and harsh”, “Late mushroom - late snow”, “Many berries - for a cold winter”.

Autumn signs on birds

“Before flying away, every bird “gathers” (gathers in flocks), “When a bird flies (stands), it will soon fly away”, “If the birds fly away before the Intercession - a short autumn, after the Intercession - a long one.” If the rooks start to fly away early, before the Pokrov, winter comes early. "The rook flies away - it will snow."

The wild goose flies early - also early winter. If wild geese fly high in autumn, when flying south, the winter will be cold. "Migratory birds fly low - a short autumn." Swallows fly away still warm, in the second half of August.

“The crane flies late - winter will not be established soon”, “The swan flies in the fall - to the snow, and the goose in the fall and spring - to the rain.” The cuckoo flies away earlier than other birds, already at the end of July, and people say about it: “No matter how much the cuckoo cuckles, fly away by winter.”
