Folk wisdom refers to the collective knowledge and traditional beliefs of a group of people, typically passed down through generations via oral storytelling, proverbs, and common practices. It encompasses practical and spiritual insights drawn from the lived experiences and observations of everyday life. This kind of wisdom often addresses practical problems, moral lessons, and social norms, reflecting the values and shared understanding of a community. Unlike scientific knowledge, folk wisdom is informal, anecdotal, and not always subject to empirical validation, yet it plays a crucial role in maintaining cultural identity and coherence.
