Ask for a reading note for a book on modern Chinese history 50

The bastard's joke about Chinese history is good.

1. "Modern Chinese History", Jiang Tinghuang.

This should be the best book for a quick overview of recent history. The writing is very thin, and it is extremely clear and concise from the language to the clues. The biggest problem is that many of its methods and conclusions, although well-known, are actually somewhat outdated, and history is evergreen, while historiography will improve.

Still, considering how readable it is, I've put it in the first place.

2. "The Metabolism of Modern Chinese Society", Chen Xulu.

It is a very suitable book for beginners in modern history, and I even think that it is the most ideal modern history reading book for high school and college at the moment. Although the fundamental stance of the class view of history has not changed, Chen Xulu has greatly changed the fixed way of writing history since the founding of New China in many aspects, which can be seen from the title of the book. It focuses on the changes in Chinese society in the past 100 years due to external invasion and internal reform.

The whole narrative is restrained and peaceful, without all the inexplicable righteous indignation or sensual praise of official modern history, but it is extremely orthodox in the judgment of major events. For young people who resist preaching but have a strong sense of identification with Red China, there is no better general history of modern times.

The modern history books worth reading include "The Voyage of a Nation", "Manuscripts of Modern Chinese History", and I recommend "The New Era of Modern Chinese Society".

Modern History of China", "Revolution in the Middle Ground", "History of the May Fourth Movement", **Capital: Attaching Importance to the East in Economic Globalization".

The history of modern Chinese philosophy, written by Feng Youlan, is very worth reading, easy to understand and very wise.

The writing ideas of "Modern Chinese History" after reading:The first part writes about the general content of the book; The second part is to write your own understanding ideas; The third part is the impact of writing books on yourself.

Text: After studying Modern Chinese History, I feel that my horizons have been broadened. I have benefited greatly from China's modern history.

China's modern history is the most turbulent history in Chinese history, a history that we Chinese people can never forget, and this is a history of humiliation, and China's thousands of years of shame have been condensed in this century.

Although China experienced the bourgeois democratic revolution and overthrew the Qing Dynasty, which had been ruled by feudalism for a long time, it was still facing the aggression of foreign capital and imperialism and the continued existence of feudalism at home. Summing up the experience of the revolutionary struggle of the Chinese people in modern times, history has proved that only the Communist Party of China can lead the Chinese revolution to victory, and only socialism can save China. Studying modern Chinese history has made me deeply realize that today's Xinfu life is not easy to come by, and it has also stimulated my strong patriotic enthusiasm.

Modern Chinese history began in 1840 and ended in 1949. From the Opium War in 1840 to the eve of the May Fourth Movement in 1919, it was the stage of the old democratic revolution; From 1919 to the May Fourth Movement to the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, it was the stage of the new democratic revolution. The entire modern history of China is the history of China's descent into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

When we stand on the threshold of the turn of the century and look back at the history of the struggle of the Chinese people in the past 100 years, we can clearly find that there is hardly any period in Chinese history that can be compared with this time.

China is a modern history, a history of heroic struggle and arduous exploration by generations of people with lofty ideals and the people of the Chinese to save the country and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In particular, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country have waged great and arduous struggles and won national independence and people's liberation through the new democratic revolution.

Through the socialist revolution and the construction of individual reforms, China has gradually turned an extremely poor and weak China into a socialist new China full of vigor and vitality. The war of aggression launched by the great powers and the defeat of China's war against aggression have educated the Chinese people on the negative side and greatly promoted the thinking, exploration, and rise up of the Chinese people. And the unity of the Chinese people and the strength of action are the weight that we cannot defeat.

The awakening of the people is the greatest achievement in modern history.

As the younger generation and as college students, we should recognize our responsibilities and missions in the new era. Because our nation is taking off, we should all the more carry forward the style of arduous struggle and make unremitting efforts to enable our country to maintain rapid development. We must shoulder the heavy task of building a socialist country and bring the motherland to glory.

Answer: I read the book "Modern History of China" with reverence. After reading it, I learned a lot.

This book defines "modern Chinese history" as "the history of China's modernization", and whether and how China can modernize has become the main line of discussion in this book.

Modernization was a very urgent topic for China at that time, but it was a slow and tortuous process in the course of China's modern history. It is impossible for Chiang Tinghuang to find out why the social roots are so slow and tortuous, but he sees the inertia of our nation. He said:

The military defeat of the Opium War was not a fatal wound of the nation, and the reason for the defeat was not clear after the defeat, and that was the fatal wound of the nation. That's a lot of weight. Why couldn't the Chinese quickly embark on the road of restoration or revolution at the beginning of the shock of the Opium War?

This book takes the self-improvement movement led by Prince Gong Yixin, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and others as the first modernization plan, the 100-day reform movement led by Kang Youwei and others as the second modern plan, and the Boxer Rebellion or the "boxer movement" as the third formulaic plan ......However, these plans were ultimately thwarted. Therefore, this book puts forward its own viewpoint: "Modernized national defense not only needs modern transportation, education, and economy, but also needs modern politics and people, and half-new and half-old are useless."

In other words, in order to survive in modern times, China must fully accept Western culture. The slogan "total westernization" was put forward by Hu Shih in 1929, which meant that there were no artificial restrictions on Western culture. Perhaps this is not admirable from a modern point of view, but we should be impressed by their courage in those days!

Born in Shanghai, Xu Zhongyue is an authoritative scholar of modern Chinese history. He graduated from Yenching University (now Peking University) in 1946 and received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1954. He is the author of "China's Diplomacy into the International Community, 1858-1888", "Ili Crisis:".

Sino-Russian Diplomatic Studies, 1871-1881", etc., translated Liang Qichao's Introduction to Qing Dynasty Scholarship.

The original name of "Modern Chinese History" should be "Modern Chinese History 1600 to 2000 China's Struggle", from the name we can see that Mr. Xu Zhongyue defined modern China as 1600 to 2000, which is very different from what everyone knows or the general knowledge of the academic community. Academics generally believe that the sale of tobacco in Humen in 1839 was the beginning of modern China, and ended with the formal founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. What is the significance of Mr. Xu breaking this view?

At that time, Western scholars believed that the more than 400 years from the establishment of the Qing Dynasty to the 21st century were the continuous import of Western factors into China, and China was only a passive period of history. In the book, Mr. Xu put forward three clues: "the best policy and system", "national or racial struggle against foreign factors" and "seeking a way to survive in a new world", as the three most important driving forces for the development of modern China, and through the description of the internal social turmoil in modern China, he told the world the history of "an ancient Confucian empire that has undergone incomparably difficult times and transformed into a modern nation-state". Mr. Xu expressed his objective and fair view of history with an attitude that transcends race and ideology.

This book tells a history from a different perspective than other scholars, and we should also learn to think from different perspectives or outside the limits of thinking.

1. Modern Chinese history is a history that people can't let go. The process of reading history is a process of constantly giving birth to sighs. However, from a later perspective, choosing an established basis to expound history is a "coffin-closing conclusion", which really makes people wonder about its interpretation.

This is true of modern history in textbooks, and modern history outside textbooks is one of them, and it is not out of the ordinary. After all, I have been exposed to some different historical recounts, and I have been somewhat enlightened about some views and positions.

2. When I read Zeng Wenzhenggong's biography before, the biggest sigh is that all the writers of history are outsiders. Because he is an outsider, he can only rely on historical data to deduce and intertwine; Because he is an outsider, he has a little or two points of understanding of the direction of history, so it seems that it is easier to comment on likes and dislikes; But because he is an outsider, he will never be able to restore the truth of history from the perspective of the parties. In other words, most people who read history will always have to sigh and change them back to the scene of history, and what they will do is worse.

3.Therefore, reading history is either to understand the origin and background of everything in modern times, or to learn a little bit of life accumulation in the midst of changes, but not to be born of righteous indignation.
