Why study History? Why study history

The debate between history and science and art has long since subsided. Yan Buke, a professor of history at Peking University, once said: Practical rationality is a unique way of thinking for Chinese.

You have to ask whether a piece of knowledge is or not"Practical"or"Useful or useless"It is easy for Chinese to ask such questions. Historiography is often difficult to see as having very specific uses. Western historiography was also once an aristocratic discipline with a strong inheritance character.

Unfortunately, history is not a technology, and whether ordinary people can make money by relying on historical knowledge, or whether they can win favor and favor does not seem to be the value of historiography itself. Even if one could use the science of history to gain many other additional things, it would still be only a bypass value of history, not history itself.

History, broad and profound. Those who know how to read, can read positive energy, can criticize the ancients, learn lessons and lessons, and do not repeat the mistakes of the past; I don't know how to read, I can read negative energy, you believe what people say, and you learn to do what others do, this captive of history.

The purpose of studying history is to see more clearly: the law of change; the rise and fall of social groups; The role of historical figures (positive, negative).

Studying history can really better grasp the present and the future, and you can not take or take less vain roads; The so-called history should include people, times, events, and knowledge that have passed, such as the 12345 addition, subtraction, multiplication and division that primary school students learned from their teachers, and the words such as the sun, moon, water, fire, earth, and so on, which are actually history. The ancient is for the present, and the past is not the present, this is the most simple truth and law.

Learning geography to develop students' horizontal thinking, learning history to develop students' vertical thinking, personal mastery of historical knowledge is an important part of mastering human society and culture, a person without the slightest knowledge of history will never be well integrated with the real society, such a person will hardly develop into a successful person.

Some economists and political scientists will say that I am ready to trace my research back, and history is too useful for my research. It's good for me to grasp the trend. Some historians will say: What is useless is useful.

The beauty of history is also contained in the process of civilization. In ancient Greek mythology, there were nine muses, and the first one was Clio, the goddess of history. The goddess and history are quite a beautiful match.

Studying history is to like history, but it is embarrassing to enter ......the society and face employment

I feel that history is the soul of a country.

Because I like it, I don't need any other reason.

The reasons for studying history are as follows:

1. History is the foundation of a nation's survival. China is the only country in the world with an uninterrupted history of thousands of years. The vast historical classics record the various knowledge, experiences and wisdom accumulated by the Chinese nation in the process of creating history.

History is the root of reality, any country's today comes from yesterday, only by understanding her yesterday, can we know that she has come from ** and will go **.

2. The study of history can provide useful inspiration for governing the country. History is the book of practice and wisdom of those who came before it. The history of China is a history of unremitting entrepreneurship and development of the Chinese people, containing very rich experience in governing the country, and contains many reflections on the success and failure, rise and fall, safety and danger, good and evil, honor and disgrace, righteousness and profit, honesty and greed of the country, society, nation and individual.

3. Studying history can enhance the backbone and confidence of being a Chinese person. To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we need the backbone and confidence of the Chinese people. As the only ancient civilization in the world with uninterrupted historical records, the history of more than 5,000 years of civilization is the spiritual source of the backbone and confidence of the Chinese people.

4. Have more respect for history and more thinking. Respect and cherish one's own history and protect one's own historical and cultural heritage. History cannot be chosen arbitrarily and cannot be changed. How to deal with history is a serious issue concerning the past, present, and future of the nation.
