The article deals with the question of the value system of paremiology in The "words of edification" of the great Kazakh poet Abay Kunanbayev. Many words (Kara Soz") and Proverbs used by Abai reflect the main values of the Kazakh people. Proverbs in "Kara Soz" are divided into two large groups: Proverbs that represent positive values, and Proverbs that he treated with sharp criticism. Such values as peace and harmony, unity, people, education, science and self-improvement of the Kazakh people, their spiritual and physical development, work and skill – these are the values that Abai considered a moral guideline for his people. In any language, there are many well-aimed, expressive, national-specific Proverbs and sayings. Being the property of one nation, they can pass into the language of another nation, enriching it, expanding the reader's horizons, turning into an integral part of the vocabulary of the language that borrowed them. It should be noted that many of Abai's thoughts were fixed in the Kazakh language as well-aimed and winged words and joined the ranks of Proverbs and sayings.
