Politics is not an honest man. Smart politics is the first element of governing the country. Because politics is too big and contains too much, history and civilization are divorced from politics, so politics is greater than heaven.
Civilization and history belong to politics, so teaching history should not be too capricious, too rigid and too realistic. History must keep up with politics. If politics is weak, nothing exists, what is true and what is false?
In the pursuit of historical truth, we need to know what we want and what is good for us. If we are rigid and stubborn, we will lead ourselves into a dead end.
There is no absolute truth or absolute fallacy in the world. The choice lies in what we need, and what is good for us is true.
There are two kinds of history, one is academic history, which is used for research, belongs to Tibetan history and is not publicized; The other is political history, textbook teaching history, ideological history, public propaganda history, and benefiting the country and the people.
Political history is also true. Political history is a selective history, which is what should be publicized, what should not be publicized, what should be permanently deleted and what should be permanently enlarged. Political history is a big framework and the highest civilized values constructed.
Political history is a history of macro-summary, a thinking frame of far-reaching exploration, not the result of death and small scope. For example, in archaeology, when an ancient relic is discovered, it is necessary to make an overall and wide-ranging reasoning in the age of the ancient relic, instead of thinking only in a certain place. This is the need of civilization and politics.
With scientific and reasonable thinking, let history permeate the civilization of the whole era, and let our thoughts and values be proved and continued for a longer time.
What is archaeology? Archaeology is to prove that our unified values are greater, prouder, more attractive and more convincing. Archaeology is not to deny anything, but to prove our unified overall values, otherwise archaeology will be meaningless.
There are two kinds of archaeology, one is academic archaeology, which is used for academic research and proves that our history is more convincing; The other is political archaeology, which makes archaeology serve politics and the country. How to publicize archaeology and convince the public of our beliefs is political archaeology.
Regardless of history or archaeology, all actions and thoughts are conducive to our unified thinking, to China and to unity. This is inheritance, this is history, and this is the unified thought of Chinese civilization.
