How to make history more interesting?

The first is to read more, all kinds of books about history, if you are more interesting, wild history is a good choice.

The second is to practice more, you have to practice your own fun, only if you bring humor in, whether it is history or not, it will be more interesting.

And then there's analytics, analyzing your audience's world, what part of history they want to hear, what kind of history.

Finally, I would like to say that if you are a teacher, it will be more interesting for students to interpret history on their own.

First, history itself is interesting, and historical stories need to be full of ups and downs.

Second, the historical figures themselves have distinct personalities, whether good or bad, loyal and treacherous, so that the listener wants to know what this person did.

Third, try to correct the long-term fixed thinking and stereotypical effect of the general audience, such as Emperor Yang of Sui is a useless faint king.

In the fourth lecture, he used performance techniques, combined with talking and tables, and randomly put gimmicks.

Combined with reality, you can use popular language to combine the things around you with the things of ancient times.

Combined with the history itself, it is analyzed in sections and scatters its unique charm, and its own interest can make students more focused.

Exploring events that are related to the historical event itself, and analogies are similar.

Combined with knowledge of other disciplines such as geography, politics. There are always one or two subjects that students like.

Try to explain some historical reasons or relationships with examples that are close to reality, and if appropriate, you can also tell some interesting secrets about historical figures.

What do you think? Do you think history is interesting? Does the historical story itself need to have ups and downs?

Correcting long-standing fixed thinking, stereotypes, which takes a lot of things and time.

It's all about benefiting from it.

Storytelling: As a student, I love dictating historical stories.

In fact, history is not as old-fashioned as recorded in the history books, but there are very few things recorded in the history books, all of which are summarizing, so it looks like a dull old professor, which inevitably discourages us, but if we have a sense of substitution to understand history and talk about history, we will find that history is just constantly repeating itself, as if we are one of the spectators, and we are deeply trapped in it and cannot extricate ourselves.

Another key to telling history well is to understand this period of history, to understand is to understand this history, just like Mingyue back then, in order to write about the Ming Dynasty, the history of the Ming Dynasty, the history of the Ming Dynasty, the history of the wilderness, and the biographies of the characters are involved, and he is very clear about the things of that year, and can use his own words to let everyone better understand that history, rather than describing it like a historical record, as long as you read the history thoroughly, you can be interesting.

Most of us like to listen to the stories of historical figures, but not to listen to the political and economic system, so if we want to tell history interestingly, we must tell the legendary stories of historical figures in the vernacular. There are two good representative books for us to refer to how to tell history well.

The second book is "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", which was particularly popular before, simply put, this book does not tell about the political and economic system, but starts from the characters, telling the story of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and there is only one main line. The author uses popular words to stimulate our interest in reading.

As a liberal arts student, I am afraid that the memory of history is still in the realm of understanding the memory test. In fact, history is a very interesting and meaningful thing.

Many people feel that history is bitter and tasteless, so how can we tell history in an interesting way? I think first of all, the first point is that the person who wants to give a lecture must have a deep and broad understanding of history. When talking about a certain historical event, you can draw inferences and give people a response.

The other is the method of speaking, which must have a certain degree of flexibility, and cannot be read from the script, so that everyone will be drowsy and unresponsive. For example, you can take some modern trend words to explain, which not only attracts attention, but also is easy to understand. In the past, my high school homeroom teacher used a method that I thought was particularly good.

He basically didn't need to bring books to our classes, and he made his own framework in his heart first. For example, when talking about the historical fact of the Shang Dynasty reform, he will start to analyze the background, and then talk about the content, meaning, and significance from the aspects of economy and culture. In this way, each frame is the same, but the content needs to be populated.

After listening, we will also have in our minds the life of this person, the memorabilia of that dynasty, and so on.

When it comes to history, everyone should be familiar with it. Everyone should have been exposed to history when they were in junior high school. But how to make history interesting, we need to keep the following points in mind.

It is necessary to tell the story of history in a fun way. First of all you have to it, history should be lived. Only when you treat it as if it were alive.

Only then can you get to know him more deeply so that you won't find it so boring. Second, you have to treat it as a joke. In this way he becomes lively and interesting.

Even if the content and some of the historical records in it are a little incomprehensible. But it's so funny, you are also willing to learn, and when you go to talk about history, it will become easy for the students to understand. Finally, you can consider it your friend.

Bring yourself and his image into it. You will find out that this is history, so when you tell it to your classmates. They are easy to understand.

When it comes to the Shang Dynasty Reform, the first reaction of the general reader is the story of "Ximu Lixin". From our primary school textbooks to the current hot Chinese culture forums of major TV stations, when it comes to Chinese history, Shang Ying's "Ximu Lixin" is indispensable. It is true that "the significance of the Shang Dynasty Reform in Chinese history cannot be overestimated."

Professor Zhang Guogang of Tsinghua University said that most people must have this understanding.

However, the "significance" that Zhang Guogang emphasizes here is not to talk about changing the law for the sake of changing the law, as previous historians did, and talking about its impact on the previous reforms of later generations in terms of the content of the change, but to put forward a new theory from the perspective of looking at history: the values advocated by Shang Ying's reform of the law, that is, the concept that you can change your identity by constantly working hard, have released people's desires - the desire for success, the desire for wealth, etc.; How to control this desire, how to control the hearts of the people and the order of reality, is the challenge faced by the rulers of later generations, and it is also the fundamental problem that Guan Zhong's "Four Dimensions", Jia Yi's "Treatise on the Passage of Qin" to the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and the imperial examination system in later generations.

In recent years, the interpretation of history has become one of the hot topics of social culture. Historical reading materials of various natures and various forms of Chinese culture forums have swarmed up, and there is a great tendency to make people dizzy and fascinated -- who should listen to traditional culture and how to choose historical reading materials have become a big and small problem that troubles the public. Because of their profound professional qualities and the responsibility of teaching and educating people, historians' works contain the gold content of new knowledge, the reliability of knowledge transmitted, and the depth of reflection on problems, which are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Professor Zhang Guogang's interpretation of history in "The Rise and Fall of the Family and the Country" not only has the height of history, but also the breadth of the comparative vision of Chinese and Western cultures. For example, he compared the Shang Dynasty reform in China, which was basically in the same historical period, with the Athenian reform in Europe, pointing out that due to the different social natures, the two reforms focused on cultivation (land question), warfare (striving for power), and industry and commerce, respectively, and believed that "the basic direction of Athenian reform lies in the balance of power and the protection of citizens' rights; Shang Ying's reform of the law, focusing on the concentration of power and the improvement of social control capabilities, is not a check and balance, but control. ”

Listening to historians talk about history is a blessing for the general public, but from another perspective, it is also a big test for historians - scholars must pay attention to academic discourse and professional thinking in the academic system; Mass readers, on the other hand, need to be easy to understand, easy to understand, and interesting. It is a very difficult transition to move from facing the academic system to facing the general public, and to tell history in a discourse and form that the general audience likes to see. European and American scholars basically have this consensus under the huge pressure of survival; So do Chinese scholars have this awareness, and how many can do it?

Zhang Guogang carefully selected 20 key points that influenced the course of Chinese history in the "General Guide to Governance", and in the process of telling the story, he narrated the contemporary value of traditional Chinese culture in a smooth and humorous language, and integrated keen insight and profound reflection into talking and laughing.

Interspersed with some anecdotes about history.
