Men who like reading and studying history should be:
1. aim high, but still have ideals.
History is a highly concentrated process, and you can also understand it as a process neglected by most people, especially in the ancient history of China, where many things and people are basically ignored. For example, Battle of Red Cliffs's Biography of the Three Kingdoms Emperor Wudi has only nine words, that is, the biography of Cao Cao: it is unfavorable to prepare for the Red Cliff. We can't research or even imagine the cause and effect of this famous battle in history, the concrete progress of the war, the troops and people under the war.
This example is just to prove that history is a compressed process (even the process itself will be rewritten artificially), so history simplifies people, things and things to some extent. So history is very enlightening, because we look at everything that happened in the past from the perspective of present and omniscient. Too many people in history have achieved great success, so that they will remain immortal or immortal (whether immortal or immortal, you must admit that they are powerful figures), especially those historical figures who have served the country and the people, and their spiritual strength will never decrease with the passage of time. Therefore, men who like history generally regard great men in history as spiritual idols or spiritual coordinates and have lofty aspirations or ideals.
2. Pride, or conceit
As mentioned above, history is a compressed process, so people who read history are prone to be proud or conceited. From the bottom of my heart, men who like history will consciously or unconsciously regard making contributions as their value pursuit-just like those figures in history. History is sublime, which reduces reality invisibly. History cannot be promoted without lowering reality, so reality deserves to be despised, at least worth changing. So men who like history are proud. You can also understand that men who like history are talented, and it is the nature or common fault of literati to rely on talent and pride.
3. Caution, including carefulness
History is very particular about provenance and textual research, so men who like history generally pay attention to historical materials and historical materials, that is, provenance. Men who like history are very cautious. If there is no basis, they will not say it. They don't simply express what they are not sure about. On the contrary, they will think more about it in order to be accurate.
