History is sometimes heartbreaking. Without real shots, detailed words and broken relics, it is hard for us to believe the past scenes of China. History is history after all. Although history has passed, it will not disappear without a trace. History has left behind more than just a pile of materials, several inscriptions and several sites. Keep history, you can look back on the past and learn new ones. Human society changes with each passing day. Without records, anything great will disappear from the horizon. But people are always used to remembering victory, success and glory, but often forget failure, scars and humiliation. History is always precipitated. History is the collective memory of the nation and mankind. If a nation doesn't know "where it came from", it doesn't know "where to go".
Past history is not so much a period as an exclamation point or even more question marks, and ellipsis should be used less. 100 years of heavy and painful memories have given people too much grief and thinking. China people shouldn't, can't and can't forget that the shots, sides or fragments carved in China in modern times, though full of spots, are vivid: from the Opium War, the Second Opium War, the Sino-French War, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 to Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, until Japan's full-scale war of aggression against China; From Lushun massacre to Nanjing massacre; From opium smuggling, looting and selling Chinese workers to burning Yuanmingyuan; From "pig" and "sick man of East Asia" to "China people and dogs are not allowed in! It can be described as horror and unheard of! Justice and evil, civilization and barbarism, love and hate, peace and violence are fixed in this humiliating history. Learning from a painful experience will always be the beginning of national rejuvenation, and will always warn every Chinese son and daughter not to forget the national humiliation and revitalize China.
Many of us seem to choose silence. I don't know what the reason for silence is, but I hope it's not because of numbness or forgetfulness. According to some people in China, the past, especially the pain, will be regarded as a rash attitude. Over the years, the reality of some close relatives and enemies, or the reality that "a strong woman in business does not know death", often makes us feel that "forgetting culture" has a market in the minds of some China people. Some merchants ignore the scars of history and regard the "Nanjing Massacre" as a computer game; Taking Japanese army knives and military uniforms as selling points; Some artists even put on military flags and marched in the city. If "collective amnesia" is too serious, people will easily become more and more shallow, frivolous, manic, extreme and eager for quick success.
Among our compatriots, we don't know too much about the humiliation of defeat and the pain of reparations, but too little. If a nation forgets its own history, it actually loses its memory function; A nation that has lost its memory is terrible. In today's rapidly changing world tide, people will lose their way, drift with the tide, and even repeat the same mistakes. Either it broke out in the sinking or it died in the sinking. It is said that in his later years, Bing Xin conceived to write a documentary masterpiece reflecting the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, but every time he started writing, he didn't leave a word. "Because he cried, because he cried, because he couldn't help crying when he picked up the pen! I cried so hard that I couldn't write at all. Only tears fell on the paper. " (Jia: Bing Xin's regret).
All disasters in history have been compensated by great progress in history. Only we can expose the sins of the invaders, ask the conscience of the indifferent and awaken the hearts of the ignorant. Never allow shameless people to distort history with ulterior motives, never allow humiliating old dreams to reappear, and never allow them to repeat the mistakes of trampling on human rights, blaspheming civilization and undermining justice. The important task of history education is to cultivate and educate every citizen's sense of identity, self-esteem, dignity and shame towards the country, history, ancestors and nation, that is, to form "national consciousness". Historical consciousness constitutes the core content of national consciousness and national spirit, which is related to the great plan of cultivating citizens in the new century. Historical cognition is related to national interests and national interests. The significance of studying history mainly includes enriching oneself, developing individuality, reducing mistakes, accelerating growth, undertaking missions and consciously living. In this sense, history is an important academic to shape a nation's overall personality and express its self-awareness, self-evaluation and self-cognition. Truth, emotion, thought and behavior should be integrated, which will inspire, motivate, spur and think for a long time.
However, the darling of the past has now been lost, and the topic of historical crisis is not alarmist. The lag, decline and degradation of history education are worrying, and we are willing to pay attention to it, discuss it and share it with you. I tried to make history education no longer embarrassing, embarrassing and contemptuous, so I went from hesitation to shouting, from confusion to awakening; From doubt to exploration. I strive to make history a tonic to nourish students' growth, so that students can wake themselves up, know themselves and publicize themselves through the study of history in their growth, and shape a "person" with flesh and blood and a blend of reason and reason, especially an independent personality. From this, I have a persistent belief, that is, I will start again at the age of forty, overcome my slackness, relaxation or fear of difficulties, strive to be a "thoughtful" history teacher, and make up my mind to make the class interesting, teach history deeply, generously and broadly, show its breadth, vividness and excitement, and explore the connotation of truth, goodness and beauty. ...
Born in sorrow, died in happiness. Everyone has gone from yesterday to today, and from today to tomorrow. As romantic figures throughout the ages, all of them have become passers-by without exception. The process of touching and reflecting on history is the process of cultural precipitation. History is a long and uninterrupted flow of time. What people perceive in reality is only a part of this long river of development, with some ups and downs, which arouse people's sighs about the changing stars and things that seem different from people. Judging from those people and things that have disappeared, it is exactly what Sima Qian said: "Tell the past and think about new people." History will give you a commanding height. There are two kinds of history, one is objective history, and the other is history in memory. The objective history is long gone, but the history in memory is still there. We can absorb it at any time, ponder it at any time, feel it and ruminate it, which is beneficial to the present and future development of mankind. Ask history, there are too many treasures! This complex is more than simple nostalgia. History disappears only by time, but what will never disappear is the memory of future generations.
The passage of time may erase many memories in people's hearts, but the past full of "blood and fire" is vivid, warning people to take it as a warning forever. The Analects of Confucius once warned: "He who has no long-term worries must have near worries." The ancient Greek philosopher said, "One cannot step into the same river twice." Didn't he just look at this rearview mirror and trudge slowly from past experiences and lessons? Description and recording, memory and explanation are rights that human beings will never give up. "Take history as a mirror and face the future", it can be said that history is the bag of human progress. Although it may be heavy, the journey is essential.
