Proverbs and sayings about the guest. Proverbs about guests
About hospitality
The principles of Slavic hospitality developed long before today, even during the period of the tribal system. During this time, the rituals of receiving travelers changed slightly, but they retained the main idea that numerous proverbs and sayings convey to us: “A guest on the doorstep brings happiness to the house.”

The customs of hospitality among the Slavic peoples were formed in pre-Christian times and represented a kind of agreement between guest and host. The guest was greeted with the most important products of that time - bread and salt, guaranteeing immunity and protection from the hosts. The person who accepted the offering pledged not to cause harm in the house.
A whole performance was played out for especially honored visitors. Before their arrival, the gates were tightly locked, secured with a reliable bolt and propped up with stakes, and when the guests arrived, they began to unlock it all. It was believed that this would make it clear to those who came how valuable they were if a house that was so securely locked was unlocked for their sake.
The hostess in her festive attire came out to the assembled guests and greeted them, bowing from the waist. Those who came answered her with a bow to the ground. Then followed the kissing ceremony: the owner of the house invited the guests to honor the hostess with a kiss. They took turns approaching the hostess and kissing her, bowing again, accepting a glass of wine from her hands. When the hostess went to the special women's table, this served as a signal to sit down and start eating.
After the feeding ceremony, the hosts seated the guests in the place of honor - in the red corner next to the owner of the house - and treated them to special dishes from the “oprichnina” plate, trying to feed the guest to his fullest.
The guest could stay in the house for as long as he considered necessary. When they saw him off, they wished him a good journey, saying: “Good riddance!” In those days, these words meant that the owner of the house wished the traveler that his path would be as light and smooth as a tablecloth.

There are two types of guests: those whom we invite, and those who come on their own. That is, - invited and uninvited.
Why do we invite guests?
“Does anyone invite a stranger into his home unnecessarily?
Only those who are needed for the work are invited: either fortune-tellers, or doctors, or skilled architects, or singers who console the soul with the divine word. All earth-born people invite them with pleasure.” (Homer, Odyssey)
Learn from the legendary poet-storyteller! This is the right, pragmatic approach. If there is no specific benefit from guests, then why are they needed?
The first principle of hospitality is to feed the guest to the full. This is what our great fabulist told us about.
Aminadav Kanevsky. Illustration for I. A. Krylov’s fable Demyanov’s ear.
What an ear! Yes, how fat:
It was as if she were shimmering with amber.
Have fun, dear little friend!
Here's a bream, giblets, here's a piece of sterlet!
Just one more spoon!
(From I. Krylov’s fable “Demyanov’s ear”)
The guest needs to be fed in such a way that he won’t even think about coming to visit us again!

Some people are interested in how to invite people to visit without them coming. This is a relevant and interesting question. The blog writer has not yet come up with a universal answer to this, but it will work. For the first time, Tetcorax offers two options.
1. Actually, we don’t invite guests, but if you want, then come. And if you don’t want to, then don’t come.
2. We would like to invite you to visit, but now we are going through a difficult period.
The Russian proverb “An uninvited guest is worse than a Tatar” is not published for reasons of political correctness.
On the topic, you should definitely read Tetcorax's work
,
as well as aphorisms on the page
The blog writer is too lazy to write the book “Table Etiquette” and the article “How to Show Guests Away,” but he will write it someday. Visit often and you will definitely come across them someday.
