The general requirement of historical research methods is to pay attention to methods and improve efficiency. The specific requirements are to lay a solid foundation and highlight key points; Independent thinking and good at asking questions; Summarize in time and draw inferences; Step by step, efficiency first. History learning needs to master three kinds of knowledge: textual knowledge structure, thematic knowledge structure and theoretical knowledge, among which textual knowledge is the foundation. Let's talk about the learning method in detail: 1, the characters are big and small, which is the main content of the textbook, and "big characters" is the most important thing in learning. To master Chinese characters, the first thing is to remember "death" and recite "hard". It is undoubtedly correct to emphasize "memory on the basis of understanding", but understanding cannot replace memory. Second, deep understanding. Understanding knowledge means mastering the internal structure and external relations of historical events and distinguishing the superficial phenomena and connotation essence of historical things. For example, Wei Yuan's thought of "learning from foreigners to control foreigners" literally means learning from the West and resisting aggression, with the implicit purpose of "strengthening the country"; Second, the implicit connection between different concepts. The Westernization School inherited the idea of "learning from foreigners" and expanded the content of learning from the West. However, neither school realized that the fundamental reason for the failure of the two Opium Wars was the decadent and backward feudal system, let alone that the fundamental way to save the nation from peril was to change this system, and the implicit connection should be explored. The "small print" is an extension and supplement to the big print, which is more specific and detailed, and can be grasped according to the situation: the intellectual description is condensed into the main points; Plot description is transformed into rational understanding; The conclusive analysis of opinions is no less than posters. 2. Forms, maps and documents are important contents of learning. There are two points to pay attention to when mastering the map. One is a map related to major historical events and phenomena, which can reflect the characteristics of the times and the historical evolution trend; Second, for the content in the picture, first master the content mentioned in the textbook. Literature is easily overlooked in review, and the college entrance examination constantly improves the teaching materials and the propositional techniques of literature. For teaching materials and documents, one should understand them, the other should analyze the relationship with the text, and the third should be able to explain what phenomena and problems are reflected. 3. Annotation is not the focus of chapter knowledge learning, but it can be mastered by browsing, but it plays an important role in the order of some special knowledge. For example, "strange war" is the annotation content. If we put it into the knowledge structure of appeasement policy, we can see that it is a continuation of the appeasement policy of Britain and France in wartime. In short, the above-mentioned textbook knowledge should be studied in accordance with priorities and pay attention to its own characteristics, and it should not be neglected. In short, we should remember the basic historical facts, sum them up constantly on this basis, pay attention to the combination of theory and historical facts, and constantly improve our analytical and understanding ability.
