What is history? What do you think is the advantage of studying history?
History is an objective fact and there is only one truth.

However, the knowledge of recording and studying history often changes, develops and perfects with people's subjective consciousness, and even distorts and fabricates it.

Word overview

History in a broad sense: the process of the development of the objective world movement can be divided into two aspects: natural history and human social history.

The process of the occurrence and development of human society.

History: the study of history, or historiography for short.

Corresponding to the concept of history, history can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense.

History in a broad sense: all the sciences in the world can be called history.

("We only know a unique science, that is, the history science.

"-Marx and Engels) narrow sense history: study the development process of past movements of human society.

Why study history? I think we can look at it from two angles: from the perspective of the role of history, there are two main points: 1. Take history as a mirror to guide the future, 2. Enhance national self-esteem and self-confidence; From the perspective of the beneficiaries of history, it can be divided into micro and macro levels, one is the role of history on individuals and enterprises, and the other is the role of history on the country.

Let's learn from history and guide the future.

From the most utilitarian point of view, MBA teaching should be well deserved. MBA students study to earn more money in the future, which should be the most pragmatic. So what do they study? Ford, Taylor, Ichiro Honda and Dell, whose family history is far or near, are not classic cases of courses such as marketing and human resource management? It is important for people to learn from daily life, but if someone can preserve, sort out and refine it and then spread the essence to the whole world, the effect will be greatly improved.

History is actually the experience and lessons of predecessors. If it is handled well and used by us, no matter individuals, enterprises or countries, it will certainly benefit endlessly.

Of course, many friends here mentioned the artificiality of historical research.

For this problem, I think from the perspective of personal use history, teachers should consciously cultivate students' independent thinking ability, especially for subjective things, they should pay more attention to the process of analysis rather than the result.

For example, Zeng Guofan, you said he was a bad guy, but he said he was a good guy. What's the point? He is not my neighbor, and he will not give me money or shave my head. It doesn't matter whether he is a good person or a bad person. The key is to see where his words and deeds are good and bad.

Why say yes, why not? What is worth learning and learning from? Get rid of its dross and take its essence. This is the purpose of our research.

Besides, enhance national self-esteem and self-confidence.

Personally, we should not simply be proud that we were born in China.

Because people are actually equal, China has a splendid history of thousands of years, which was created by our ancestors. It doesn't mean that our generation is from China, so we are superior to others, and it doesn't mean that we are smarter and more capable than others.

Learning our history is by no means for us to show off to others.

But we also have something to be proud of. We should be proud of our hardworking and intelligent ancestors and have confidence in creating a more brilliant tomorrow. Be proud of our country and love it from the bottom of your heart.

From the point of view that the country uses history as a tool, it is necessary for the country to instill history into all citizens in order to enhance people's sense of belonging, honor and overall cohesion. Only in this way can the country develop better and faster, which is why many things have no guiding significance for our future life. We still need to protect and explore them, because these are our common historical origins as China people and a solid foundation for maintaining our relationship and enhancing our mutual recognition.

In addition, from the strategic perspective of the survival and development of the whole country, we study history to understand our neighbors and the world we live in.
