Abstract:
This article examines the use of colorons and magic numbers in English and Uzbek speed reading. The
article analyzes the role of quick sayings in children's word games. Quick sayings are considered as part of Uzbek
folk folklore, as a game that requires intense and complex pronunciation of speech. This genre helps children
develop their language, form clear and fluent speech, and perceive the intonation of sounds. The pedagogical
significance of quick sayings, their role in creating humorous situations among children, and similar examples in
other languages are presented.
Keywords:
Quick sayings, children's folklore, speech development, intonation of sounds, pedagogical significance,
word game, pronunciation.
Introduction:
Language is a mirror of culture, reflecting
not only the real existence surrounding a person, his
real living conditions, but also the social self-awareness
of the people, their mentality, national character,
lifestyle, traditions, customs, morals, values, and
worldview. Each example of folklore is a reflection of
the national mentality. It can be said that by listening
to and performing examples of the rapid recitation
genre, one travels to the lives of various peoples.
English and Uzbek rapid recitations often use various
magic numbers or coloronyms (different colors).
Colors play an important role in cultural expression,
reflecting the values, beliefs, and traditions of society.
Different cultures give colors their own meanings,
creating a rich tapestry of symbolism and significance.
For example, red can symbolize luck and prosperity in
Chinese culture, while in Western societies it is
associated with passion and love. Understanding these
cultural nuances is crucial for effective communication
and intercultural interactions. The Avesto, the sacred
book of Zoroastrians, also contains interesting
information related to color: “Girls with defects on
their faces or skin, white, black, red spots, were not
chosen as brides, and young men were not chosen as
grooms, that is, the Zoroastrian doctrine was followed
with the wisdom of “Like for Like.” If an adult young
man did not marry, he was branded or forced to wear
a heavy iron belt around his waist at all times. If this
was observed in girls, they were accused of being
against the reproduction of human offspring, put in a
sack and beaten with 25 lashes. This shows that in
ancient times our ancestors paid serious attention to
the development of the offspring.
Ideas related to colors are also present in Sufi
literature, and they are explained as follows. In the Sufi
teachings of Najmiddin Kubro, he interpreted the seven
qualities of colors, that is, their meaning according to
seven concepts. According to him, white color means
Islam, yellow color means faith, blue color means
charity, green color means trust, blue color means
blood (complete trust), red color means wisdom, black
color means excitement (amazement).
“European scientists Kafka, Schopenhauer, Freud in the
19th century proved that color has an effect on the
human soul, that colors are not just colors, but
something that appears due to human emotions and is
seen through his thinking, and at the same time, colors
can affect human emotions and thinking”.

Human knowledge of the world is based on
comparison, a person has learned to compare two
things and draw conclusions about this and that, this is
good and this is bad. This form of knowledge is
characteristic of every nation, but the assessment is
appropriate for itself. In this regard, a color that an
Uzbek perceives in a positive tone is negatively
evaluated by another nation, and some colors can be
evaluated equally positively or negatively. For example,
in most peoples of the world, white represents
goodness, and black represents evil. However, Turkic
thought also evaluated black as a symbol of “greatness,
greatness”. That is, the fact that in the 11th
-12th
centuries a large empire was called “qoraxoniylar”, and
in the epic poe
m “Farhod and Shirin” he ordered the
Chin Khagan to cover the walls of the country with black
cloth when he had a son, shows that black color in
Turkic thought did not only have a negative
connotation.

White is often worn in Western cultures to symbolize
mourning and respect at funerals, and in other contexts
it symbolizes purity and new beginnings. In Uzbek
folklore, white has always represented purity,
innocence, and purity of heart. As a symbol of light
against darkness, white is associated with salvation and
hope. It represents the side of goodness in the struggle
between good and evil. “In Uzbek folklore, white is a
symbol of man. When we hear a white scarf or a white
shirt in our songs, it means a girl’s love for a boy. Red is
the color
of courage, and fire is the color of blood.”
Ethnographer V. Trener wrote that among the layers of
meaning that the triad of white, red, and black
represents in rituals, white represents a man, red
represents a woman, and black represents mourning.

Green is a symbol of nature, renewal and growth. Trees
and plants bloom in green in spring, symbolizing the
rebirth of life. This color is often used as a symbol of
hope, happiness and faith in goodness. This color has a
calming and soothing effect on a person. In Islamic
culture, green is considered sacred. There are legends
that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
loved green clothes. Therefore, green is associated with
purity, faith and paradise among Muslims. This color is
also accepted as a symbol of harmony between people,
kindness, and love for nature.
Our wise people associated their rituals and events in
social life with colors and numbers. “The history of our
ancestors’ worship of numbers, their use for various
purposes, and their use of numbers for fortune telling
dates back to the distant past. “The numbers three,
four, five, seven, nine, and forty, which are used as a
unique traditional artistic series in Uzbek folk oral
creativity, are such miracles of thought”.

The number 3 is associated with energy, humor,
creativity, abundance, and a positive attitude. Another
meaning of the number 3 is that it also means starting
something new. We can witness this tradition in fairy
tales. There are many cases where a king has three
children, and the youngest, the third, is the smartest
and the third child ascends the throne because of his
wisdom. In addition, when a prince proposes to a
princess, the princess's father or the princess herself
sets three conditions.

In numerology, the number 33 is considered the
"Master Number". This number is often associated with
higher spiritual spirituality, teaching and social service.
From a numerological perspective, the number 33
represents "service to the world", "development of
humanity" and "higher spiritual goals". In Islam:
According to some interpretations, the number 33 is
important in the story of Al-Khidr (a.s.). In English: The
number 33 is considered the number of orders of the
heavenly gods. In Christianity: The number 33
represents the age of the resurrection and re-death of
Jesus Christ, which symbolizes divine sacrifice and
spiritual transformation. "Yetti qo‘chqor Qodir

The number 7, according to A. Borodin, was originally
used not as a count, but to mean "many". The amazing
thing is that it migrated through myths and legends to

many parts of the world - from the north and south to
Baikal, to Siberia and the Far East. Although it is difficult
to say exactly how long this number has occupied a high
position in human life, we can see that among the
Sumerians this number was elevated to the level of a
cult. The number seven was considered sacred in
ancient Egypt, India, China and even America. The
magic of this number was used in the construction of
the Cheops pyramids in 2500 BC. The fact that ancient
Bukhara was built on seven stones in the shape of a
seven-pointed star, and the construction of cities such
as Rome, Istanbul, Tashkent, Kiev is associated with
seven hills, indicates that attention was paid to the
traditional number seven in urban planning. The
number seven is associated by some scholars with
Egyptian and Babylonian philosophy. They put forward
the view that in this number there is a life of two
numbers: three and four. If three people: father,
mother, son form the basis of a whole life, then four are
the four sides of this world. Pythagoras also recognizes
the perfection of the number seven as the sum of the
numbers three and four, and draws attention to the
fact that the triangle and square shapes are very useful
in construction and in measuring the size of land plots.
