What does the proverb "With the pig's snout and the kalashnaya row" mean?

Our speech is full of proverbs and sayings. That is why she is good, that's what we love, Rusich. And many winged expressions were given to us from distant ancestors. Therefore, even using a phrase, not everyone understands its literal meaning. What, for example, does the phrase "kalashny series" mean in the well-known proverb? Not knowing the meaning of even one word, it is difficult to understand the meaning of all phraseology.

Historical reference

Everyone knows that in ancient times people bought products and other goods not in stores and supermarkets, but in the market. And for convenience, sellers got up each on their "street" - that is, in their own row.

There were rows of meat, cloth, honey, fish, book. An interesting name was trade in items of a female toilet - scrupulous goods. And there were even lousy ranks! Of course, they did not sell lice as such, but to bring them from there was a common matter. After all, briskly and cheerfully in these ranks traded old, worn things. And the buyers were poor people, not always having the opportunity to observe proper hygiene.

But in the kalashnaya row stood up only the sellers of bread. And not ordinary rye, which could afford any buyer of average hand, and kalachi, which were intended only for wealthy people. After all, they were baked from wheat of the highest grade, better grind. And the dough for them required a special preparation recipe. His bakers before baking for a long time, crumpled, shredded, so the kalachi turned luxuriant and tall.

Bread is not just food, it is a symbol of labor!

It is because of the fact that so much care and effort was invested in the creation of the kalach, people have always treated bread with respect. There is still a ritual among the Slavs to meet the welcome guests with bread and salt. And the kalachi themselves looked festive, elegant. Often such a loaf was placed in the center of the table for a great celebration - as now cakes.

Of course, the kalachi traders kept their goods very carefully. After all, bread is extremely easy to adopt any smells. And away from meat and fish shops was located kalashny series. The meaning of this phrase due to such veneration of bread was to imply something noble, far from the average person's everyday purchase.

What is the meaning of the phrase "pork snout"?

It is clear that it means something not very beautiful and personifying. The explanatory dictionary gives such an explanation to these words. The frog is called the anterior part of the muzzle of some animals and fish. In the phrase there is a clarification that this part of the body belongs exactly to the pig.

In this context, it is considered true to understand by "pork snout" offal. They are usually traded in parallel with meat. Therefore, it is believed that the proverb "In a kalashny series with a pig's snout does not climb!" It makes sense to indicate: each product - its place in the market. Proof of this are other synonymous synonyms of this winged phrase. They say: "Do not climb with a cloth (or chaff) snout in the kalashnyi row!"

The portable meaning of an expression means that everyone must know their place; Boots should be shoveled by a shoemaker, and pies cooked a cake; The cook will command in the kitchen, and the state will be governed by people specially trained for this, and so on.

Pork snout is for that and it is created, that the beds snort ...

But often people modify the proverb "Do not meddle with a pig's snout in a kalashny series!" In its own way. They give a completely different meaning to the first part of it. After all, in the subconscious of most people, a pig is an animal dirty, stupid, evil, ugly. And the "pork snout" is treated as an unworthy person of low birth. Even the proverb is often used in a modified form. "Where are you with your pig's snout - yes into the kalashny series?"

Of course, the general meaning remains the same: everyone must take his place in life. But in this context, he is more subjective, directed at a specific person. And rather humiliating.
