Trees in snowy silver.
And the kids are flying in a crowd
On a sled down an icy hill.
January
In January he will come to everyone
New Year in a white fur coat!
In January - the beginning of the year,
All nature is silent in the snow.

The bunny is trembling under the pine tree,

White snow and red nose.
Get out the skates and sleds,
So that you don't get cold at all!
January in Crimea
Evil blizzards in winter
They're walking everywhere
That's just in the south
They don't exist!
I don't like snow
Weather in Crimea:
The sun is harmful
Let him lie down!
And a blizzard without snow
What kind of work?
And blizzards to the south
No desire to fly!
The modern name for this month was borrowed from the Roman calendar, in which it was dedicated to the two-faced god Janus. Among the ancient Romans, Janus was considered the god of doors, all beginnings, entrances and exits. He was depicted with the keys with which he opened each day of the year. Janus has two faces looking in different directions, symbolizing the inseparability of the beginning and the end, the future and the past. Janus is the god of order and peace, the organization of earthly and cosmic existence. In fact, the first month of the year was perceived in the same categories: it served as the beginning of the year, and with it nature, the sun, and human spiritual and labor activity were supposedly revived.
Janus - in ancient Roman mythology - the most mysterious figure of the god of ancient Rome. The Romans believed that he taught people calculus because numbers corresponding to the number of days in a year were inscribed on his hands.
In January, special significance was attached to weather phenomena, the behavior of birds and animals, and the actions of people. All this was considered as signs of fate, a harbinger of something important.

People turned to their ancestors in the hope of finding out the future.

January included the concept of a beginning associated with the increase in daylight hours and the rebirth of the sun after the winter solstice. According to the early calendar, the year began in March and then January was the eleventh month. Later, during the September New Year, it took fifth place, and only in 1700, after the calendar reform of Peter I, did it become the first month of the year.
In the East Slavic tradition, the month was called “Prosinets” and “Sechen”. The first name comes from the blueness of the sky (glow) beginning to appear at this time, associated with an increase in daylight hours. The name “section” became widespread mainly in Ukraine. It is connected with the words “cut”, “cut”, and has two meanings:
- January “cuts” winter in half;
- the bitter frosts for which this month is famous “cut” the earth and all life on it.

I cover the whole earth, whiten fields and houses.
My name is... (winter).
The white blanket was not made by hand.
It wasn’t woven, it wasn’t cut, it fell from heaven to earth. (Snow.)
He was a black cloud at first,
He lay down in white fluff on the forest,
Covered the whole earth with a blanket,
And in the spring it completely disappeared. (Snow.)
Roll through the snow -
I'll grow up
And you’ll warm yourself up at the fire -
I'll be lost. (Snowball.)
They raised me, they made me out of snow,
Instead of a nose, they cleverly inserted a carrot.
Eyes are coals, lips are knots.
Cold, big. Who am I? (Snow woman.)
Transparent, like glass, but you can’t put it in the window. (Ice.)
It neither burns in fire nor sinks in water. (Ice.)
So that autumn does not get wet, does not become soggy from water,
He turned puddles into glass, made snowy gardens. (Freezing.)
The frost outside is crackling and your noses are freezing.
And Santa Claus is in a hurry to visit us at the Christmas tree
And he brings the letter “M” with toys.
What does Santa Claus bring? (A bag of toys.)
He runs through the snow, but there is no trace. (Snow drift.)
Look through the window, there is an accordion stretched out there.
But the harmonica doesn’t play, but it warms the apartment. (Battery.)
In our house all year round
Santa Claus lives in the closet. (Fridge.)
I walk next to the janitor, shoveling snow around
And I help the guys make a slide and build a house. (Shovel.)
We stood there all summer and waited for winter.
We waited until the time was right and rushed down the mountain. (Sled.)
Boards and legs are running along the path. (Skis.)
Who rushes quickly through the snow and isn’t afraid of falling through? (Skier.)
Invisible, he comes to me carefully,
And he draws like an artist, he draws patterns on the window.
This is a maple, and this is a willow, and here is a palm tree in front of me.
How he paints beautifully with just white paint. (Freezing.)
I fly in the field, I walk in freedom,
I twist, I mutter, I don’t want to know anyone.
I run along the village, sweeping up snowdrifts. (Blizzard.)
He lay there for the winter, then ran away into the ground. (Snow.)
White as chalk, it flew from the sky. (Snow.)
The star spun in the air a little,
She sat down and melted on my palm. (Snowflake.)
I dusted the paths, decorated the windows,
She gave joy to the children and gave them a sledding ride. (Winter.)
Who whitewashes the clearings with white and writes on the walls with chalk,
Sews feather beds, decorated all the windows? (Winter.)
Who's buzzing in the chimney in winter? (Wind.)
The old man at the gate stole the warmth,
He doesn’t stand and doesn’t tell us to. (Freezing.)
Draws without hands, bites without teeth. (Freezing.)
We saw him dressed in spring and summer,
And in the fall all the shirts were torn off the poor thing,
But the winter snowstorms dressed him in furs. (Tree in winter.)
Who changes clothes four times a year? (Earth.)
What kind of table is there among the birches in the open air?
In the frost he treats the birds with grain and bread. (Feeder.)
Poems about January for children
January-Prosinets
Hello, well done January,
Hello, sir!
Take us for a sled ride,
Give me frosts,
Let paradise bloom on the windows:
Dahlias, roses.
Jumping like a squirrel at dawn
New Year's Eve in January
Along the tall fir trees,
So that the kids can eat
Chocolates in kindergarten -
Well, at least once a year.
M. Sukhorukova
January
We tear off the calendar, January begins.
In January, in January there is a lot of snow in the yard.
Snow on the roof, on the porch,
The sun is in the blue sky.
The stoves are heated in our house -
Smoke rises into the sky in a column.
S. Marshak
It was in January
It was in January
There was a Christmas tree on the mountain,
And near this Christmas tree
Evil wolves roamed.
Once upon a time, at night,
When the forest is so quiet,
They meet a wolf under the mountain
Bunnies and hare.
Who's up for the New Year?
Fall into the clutches of a wolf!
The bunnies rushed forward
And they jumped onto the tree.
They flattened their ears
They hung like toys.
Sparrows flew past
We sat on the top.
Ten little bunnies
They hang on the tree and are silent -
The wolf was deceived.
It was in January -
He thought that on the mountain
Decorated Christmas tree.
A. Barto
Our friends
Every day,
When we get up
My brother and I are alone,
Taking cereals
And bread crumbs
We quickly run to the porch.
A lot of affectionate, good
Friends are flying to us.
Birds sitting on a feeder
They clean their wings.
There are goldfinches, siskins and tits here
And sneaky sparrows,
They are also waiting for us patiently
And the handsome bullfinches...
Everyone is used to it - not shy,
At least take them with your hands!
G. Ladonshchikov
This is my village
This is my village;
This is my home;
Here I am sledding
The mountain is steep;
Here the sled has rolled up,
And I'm on my side - bang!
I'm rolling head over heels
Downhill, into a snowdrift.
I. Surikov
Grandfather Frost is walking along the street,
Frost scatters on the branches of birch trees.
Walks, shakes his white beard,
He stomps his foot, only the sound comes out.
S. Drozhzhin
Frosty frost on the glass
There is frosty frost on the glass,
How many dashes and lines!
I'm the only one who knows
Who's standing there at the window?
The Snow Maiden breathes on the glass
And diligently writes letters,
She moves her finger herself:
“C” - snowflakes, “3” - winter.
N. Frenkel
Snow fairy tale
Danced through the snow
Snow storms.
Bullfinches for snowmen
The song was whistled.
By the snowy river
In a snowy lane
Skates rush loudly,
Snow Maidens cutting ice.
S. Pogorelovsky
Bullfinches
Bullfinches
In the yard by the door.
I poured over the threshold
Buckwheat, seeds, cottage cheese.
And when I went out into the garden,
I heard from them:
You are kinder than all the guys
Well done, Grisha!
P. Voronko
Fly under the window
Snow-snowball, snow-snowball
All covered in traces of bird feet,
The sparrows were jumping around,
Apparently they were looking for food for themselves.
The difficult time has come:
The grains were covered with snow.
bobtail family,
Our guests and friends,
Fly under the window -
There is grain in your feeders.
G. Boyko
Both summer and winter
It's like a white blizzard
I swept the birch tree;
Both summer and winter
She is white-white
Only black scorch marks,
Like thawed patches in the snow.
Quite by accident I came across an old globe. Having the opportunity to visit Moscow, I came to visit and.... I jumped when I saw it. The owner of the globe was very surprised by my reaction; his wife gave it to him for his 55th birthday and he didn’t even consider it as a bar for alcohol. As it turned out, there is an Italian company (perhaps more than one and not only Italian) that makes souvenirs by copying antique globes. In this particular case, this is a copy made as a bar for alcoholic drinks. But for me this is secondary; I was primarily interested in the globe itself. It is of excellent quality and all the inscriptions are easy to read. There are sites on the Internet where photos and even 3-D models of some ancient globes are presented, for example on this site. A search on sites known to me did not produce results. I did not find the specific globe from which this particular copy was taken. I also didn’t come across a similar option when searching for it as a souvenir in online stores. Apparently a small number of them were made and sold.
Now to the globe itself. There will be a lot of photos, primarily observational ones. The LiveJournal format does not allow inserting large-format photos; if someone is interested in a specific place on the globe, I am ready to post an enlarged fragment in the comments.
What can be determined based on what is on the globe itself. This is a reproduction of a Zoffoli antique club, this is Italy, and it is 1949. On one of the signatures there is the word Paris, but since I do not speak languages, it is difficult for me to understand in what context the word Paris is used. Based on the analogue of maps and cross-comparison of toponyms on the globe, most likely this globe should be dated from the mid-16th century to the mid-17th century. If anyone has their own thoughts and their own options for reading the inscriptions, I will be very grateful.
Now just take the photos in order. Under some photos I will give my small comments.
First, a general view of the globe. The stand is made to look like a man crouching on his knee.
Now directly photos of individual sections of the globe. I should immediately note that the meridians are drawn every 10 degrees, the zero (also known as the 360th meridian) runs to the right of the one indicated by the bold dotted line and does not coincide with the modern one. The thick dotted line is the 350th and 170th meridians. The 10th meridian passes through England. London is not marked, but it would be somewhere around the 16th meridian.
Here I note that Germany is signed as Bermania. As is known in German and English, BER is a bear. And in the old Russian language, ber is also a bear, hence, by the way, den, that is, ber’s lair. And “Berlin” is simply “bearish” in our way. The fact that Germany is a distorted Bermania has not occurred to me until now. Now everything is clear and understandable.
Next is a photo of the equatorial part. Note that the southern Atlantic is labeled the Ethiopian Ocean. Not clear. Where is the ocean and where is Ethiopia. Apparently at that time Ethiopia was not there, or not only where it is now.
The Indian Ocean is labeled as the Eastern Ocean (orientalis from Latin).
Meridionalis is a modern word - midday, adjective. Wikipedia writes that it is a derivative of Proto-Indo-European. In Russia, until the end of the 18th century, the south was called noon, the north was midnight, partly this is still preserved in the Belarusian and Ukrainian languages. That is, America Meridionalis is America South.
Now a little bit of the southern part.
Antarctica is labeled as New Holland. By the way, everything is very foggy here. Allegedly, in 1606, certain lands were discovered by the Dutch, some believe that this is Australia, some that this is Antarctica, some that this is a completely fictitious continent that existed as a supposed continent and the Dutch grabbed everything for themselves in advance. What did Bellingshausen and Lazarev discover then? In general, dregs. What is important to us is that certain lands on the site of modern Antarctica are marked and have a name.
Now the very north. It is not clear whether this is the marked land or an ice field. If there is an ice field, then it turns out that the Northern Sea Route was free. This means that the climatic conditions were different from modern ones.
Personally, I am extremely interested in the next area, because the history of antediluvian Petersburg is extremely interesting to me and, in fact, is my main direction in research. I am deeply convinced that on the site of St. Petersburg in “ancient” times there was a city, and a very high metropolitan status. I have a number of articles devoted to this. I consider the most likely date of his death to be 13-14 centuries; his death occurred as a result of a disaster that flooded the city. The consequence of this flooding was the subsequent formation of the modern Neva and the modern outline of Lake Ladoga at the turn of the 17th-18th centuries and, accordingly, the beginning of the restoration of the old city by Peter I. I will not go deeper into this topic, read my articles, I will only note that there is no Lake Ladoga on the globe , nor the Neva. But there is Onega signed. There is a signed city Vikrik, apparently it is somewhere in the area of modern Narva or Kingisepp. Yesto (Estonia?) is drawn above Onega. Two lakes are drawn between Onega and the Baltic. Perhaps they will later become Ladoga.
Central Europe.
Southern Europe. Please note that Istanbul is signed as Troy. The photo was not clear, but it was readable.
Muscovy. Pay attention to the toponyms of Yaroslavia, Rostoy and Vlodimyria.
Russia. Astrakhan, Tyumen.
Tartary. From left to right in small letters Siberia, Lukomorye, south of Yugoria.
The Chinese wall is drawn. North of it is Cathay, south of Chin. Mongul in the middle reaches of the Lena. If it's Lena, of course.
Tartaria completely.
North America completely. Septentrionalis from Latin north.
Atlantic Sea.
North Africa. Pay attention to where the barbarians lived (Algeria) and where Libya was (modern Niger).
Red (Rubrum) Sea.
Troy (Istanbul) is clearly visible here.
Japan. For some reason Lapan.
Here's a closer look at the inscription in the area of southern Africa and Madagascar.
At the end there is a video review of the globe.
On this I take my leave. If this review is useful to someone, I will be glad.
