Historical nihilism is a wrong trend of thought that distorts, falsifies and denies historical facts, and its harm to college students cannot be ignored.
First of all, historical nihilism will lead college students to misunderstand history. History is the memory of a nation and an important basis for us to know the past, present and future. By distorting historical facts, historical nihilists make college students have a wrong understanding of history, thus affecting their sense of identity and pride in the country, nationality and culture. This is extremely unfavorable for cultivating a new generation of young people with correct views on history, nationality and country.
Secondly, historical nihilism will affect the ideological and moral construction of college students. Historical nihilists often make one-sided and arbitrary comments on historical figures and events, which leads college students to question heroes and just causes. This wrong view of history is easy to make college students lose their value orientation and moral bottom line, which is not conducive to them to establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values.
Third, historical nihilism will affect the academic research of college students. Historical research needs rigorous attitudes and methods, while historical nihilists tend to generalize and reverse black and white, which will lead college students astray in academic research and affect their academic literacy and innovation ability. At the same time, historical nihilism may also lead to chaos and disorder in academic circles and affect the healthy development of the whole academic field.
Finally, historical nihilism will affect the stability and development of the country. The history of a country is the spiritual pillar of a nation, which is of great significance for safeguarding the core interests of the country and national unity. Historical nihilists distort historical facts, undermine national unity, incite national hatred, and may even lead to social unrest and division. This is extremely harmful to the stability and development of the country.
