Fairy tales

Fairy tales are different: funny and sad, kind and not so, moralizing and educational. Any fairy tale captivates and takes you to another magical exciting world full of mysteries and secrets. But a fairy tale should not only entertain, but also give reason to think about eternal truths: good and evil, truth and lies. A fairy tale must be understood not only with the mind, but also with all the heart. A good story is sure to leave its mark on the soul.

Children need fairy tales like air. Fairy tales will help them become wiser, kinder, more tolerant, understand what good is and try to defeat evil together with fairy-tale heroes. In a fairy tale, you can find a way out of any, even the most confusing and hopeless situation, because everything is possible in a fairy tale! It is important that the fairy tale instills in kids the ability to find the best path in life, the ability to make the right choice. For example, to get away from problems, as in the fairy tale "The Ugly Duckling". Or look for another way, albeit difficult and time-consuming, and maybe even dangerous at times, but one that will lead to what you want. So Gerda, in the fairy tale "The Snow Queen" went through a difficult path, was not afraid of difficulties and saved Kai, melting the ice in his heart.

Good fairy tales are characterized by an ironic attitude to what is happening, and aggression is always considered as a loss. In most fairy tales, only thanks to solidarity, patience and perseverance, the heroes achieve a lot. And if the hero also has a kind, sympathetic heart and he directly perceives reality (like Ivanushka the Fool), then in the end the hero always remains the winner and gets more than he thought at first.

A fairy tale can influence a lifetime. Sometimes, as a reader grows older, a new meaning opens up in a fairy tale they like and answers to eternal questions are found. Although a fairy tale and fiction, and therefore should not provide accurate or chronological knowledge, a fairy tale can and does teach, passing on experience and showing it through the examples of its characters, which is sometimes more than “dry” knowledge.

As the great storyteller Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin wrote about the fairy tale: “The fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint of a lesson for good fellows in it”, thereby hinting at the useful skills transmitted by the fairy tale, such as tolerance, diligence, honesty, wisdom, the ability to forgive. Or maybe in a fairy tale there is only a hint of a lie, and if the reader reads between the lines, then you will see one truth. which will help to see the invisible - a living soul that knows how to laugh and cry, be sad and have fun. In a fairy tale, you can see the soul of a blade of grass, which sways from a light breath, as if it wants to say something. To see the soul of the leaves dancing in the wind. Finally, to see the soul of the most ordinary umbrella, calendar, galoshes and other inanimate characters of fairy tales. In everything, even inanimate objects, human labor is invested, its own energy, which was transferred to objects.

In any case, a fairy tale serves as an intermediate bridge between fiction and reality. In the soul of every person there is a place for a fairy tale. Maybe it is your fairy tale that will be brought to life by one of its readers, and after reading the fairy tale “Magic Colors”, the child will become a great artist.

Fairy tales are a brilliant human invention that combines almost all genres of folklore and folk art. In a fairy tale there can be a place for myths and legends with their own ideas about the world, about the past, about gods and traditions. There are tales that resemble epics with the heroic deeds of heroes. In the fairy tale there is also something from a fable and a parable, where the vices of people are ridiculed with the help of things, plants and animals. When reading fairy tales, well-known proverbs and sayings come to mind (very often: “You can’t even pull a fish out of a pond without labor”, “Don’t be afraid of a wolf in the forest”). Fairy tales often contain wise riddles, guessing which the hero receives a reward. Finally, you can learn from fairy tales: study nature and the environment, the way of life and customs of peoples, history and religion. What is especially important in teaching children, because It is in fairy tales that the material is presented in an accessible, interesting and fascinating form.

Not every fairy tale can be remembered and deposited in the reader's soul. And it can be both kind and cheerful, and sad and sad. The choice is always up to the reader - it can be both folk tales and tales of famous and unknown writers.

Children's fairy tales. Read online fairy tales for children.

A fairy tale is a fictional story with a happy ending and the obligatory victory of good over evil. Most often in fairy tales there is magic and various incredible adventures in ordinary life. The inaccessible becomes accessible, the unreal becomes real. That's why both children and adults love to read fairy tales . Each nation has its own fairy tales with their peculiarities - national heroes, way of life.

A fairy tale is of great importance for the development of a child, especially at preschool and primary school age. The fairy tale absorbs and preserves folk wisdom, features of the national character, universal values ​​and ideals. A fairy tale is a narrative, usually folk poetic work about fictitious persons and events, mainly with the participation of magical, fantastic forces, says S.I. Ozhegov.

Children's fairy tales are a necessary element in the upbringing of a child, they tell him about life in an accessible language, teach him, shed light on the problems of good and evil, and show a way out of difficult situations. Fairy tales for children are a language, for them it is more informative than the squeezed insipid adult speech. Telling and reading fairy tales , we educate a child, develop his inner world, give knowledge about the laws of life and ways of displaying creative ingenuity. Reading a fairy tale forms the basis of behavior and communication in a child for life, teaches perseverance, patience, the ability to set goals and go towards them. Listening to or reading fairy tales, children accumulate in their subconsciousness the mechanisms for solving life situations, which, if necessary, are activated. The fairy tale develops creativity, fantasy, imagination and empathy of the little person.

There are various hypotheses about the origin of the fairy tale:

  1. The anthropological approach sees in the fairy tale a direct reflection of once living ideas and customs, forgotten over time and preserved in the form of remnants.
  2. The linguistic approach analyzes the evolution of the fairy tale as an oral tradition of folk art. Linguists come to the conclusion about the single source of the origin of the fairy tale and its distribution in different cultures.
  3. The psychoanalytic approach, raising the tale to ancient myths, magic and dreams, ascribes to it the expression of repressed desires and complexes of a person.

A fairy tale, which has entered human life since ancient times, is a kind of history and treasury of folk wisdom, as well as a universal means of conveying those ideas about the surrounding world and man himself that people have developed in every historical era. It is well known that the earliest information about Russian fairy tales dates back to the 12th century. However, according to scientists, already in the 11th century, fairy tales were included in the repertoire of ancient Russian professional dancers, songwriters, storytellers and buffoons, being the scenario basis of their repertoire.

Turning to the semantics of the word "fairy tale", we see that it reveals its semantic essence: a fairy tale tells about events that cannot happen in life, tells about things that are hard to believe. It necessarily contains both fantasy and improbability: animals speak with a human voice, fulfill the wishes of their heroes. Who today believes that pancakes fall from clouds instead of rain, or that objects that seem ordinary at first glance turn out to be magical, i.e. able to do amazing things.

A fairy tale can be: folklore - that is, a fairy tale written by the people and passed from mouth to mouth for many centuries; and a literary fairy tale - a work oriented towards fiction, closely related to a folk tale, but, unlike it, belonging to a specific author, which did not exist before oral publication and had no options.
