If you want to remember more and remember more in history study, the key lies in understanding, because only the knowledge that you really understand will not be forgotten.

2. Be good at simplifying and simplifying.

Some historical events and phenomena are so complicated that we can't memorize them by rote. We can take some effective measures to simplify complex things as much as possible for memory. The main methods are as follows:

(1) formula memory method.

When answering some complicated historical questions, we can sum up some basic formulas, and then memorize and answer them according to the formulas.

Such as historical events = time+place+people+simple process+result+meaning.

After = preparation+occurrence+result.

Meaning = function+characteristics+influence.

People = name+times+deeds (including thoughts, activities or works)+influence.

Works = author+year of writing+content+meaning (or influence).

In this way, complex content can be simplified and summarized, and network memory can be formed.

In other words, you can quickly remember the basic content by grasping several points as fulcrums and then expanding them.

(2) Comparative memory method.

Human history has developed according to certain laws. In the process of its development, various historical events or phenomena are related to some extent, and at the same time, they are restricted by time and space, which makes them have their own characteristics.

Comparative memory method is to classify and compare two or more related events or characters, and find out their similarities and differences to prevent them from being conceited.

Comparative memory method is an important memory method in history learning. The specific methods are as follows: ① Comparing historical phenomena with the same nature but different characteristics, such as the comparison between Qin and Sui, the comparison between Han and Tang dynasties, etc.

② Compare some historical phenomena with similar performances but different natures, distinguish different natures and form different concepts.

③ Comprehensive comparison of historical events with the same nature but occurring in different periods to distinguish similarities and differences.

For example, many unequal treaties in modern China and their influence on China society.

④ Comparison between China and foreign countries.

For example, the comparison between the four countries that first entered the slave society in the world, the comparison between China and Western Europe entering the feudal society, and the comparison between China's ancient economic and technological development and the West.

(3) List graphic method.

Tabular graphic method is a method to connect similar knowledge and form a system according to the characteristics of historical events, which makes many historical facts and complex contents clear and coherent, and achieves the effect of simplifying the complex.

The biggest advantage of the list method is that it is concise and eye-catching, and it is an effective method to help memory, especially in the memory of complex historical materials.

Such as ancient political reform (political reform), major battles, scientific and cultural achievements; Five wars of aggression against China by foreign invaders in modern history and two important meetings of the Party in China's modern history; Three major religions in world history, bourgeois revolution, two world wars and so on.

(4) Association method.

It can be divided into vertical correlation and horizontal correlation.

Vertical association is to grasp the main points of a historical knowledge and make it coherent, that is, based on a historical fact, it can be linked to both the previous historical events and the subsequent events. From point to line, you can remember the contents of these historical knowledge.

(5) String method.

Events or characters with a parallel relationship can be memorized by string method, that is, the related contents are connected in series according to the order of the text, and only the first word of each content is memorized.

For example, the five contents of Wang Anshi's political reform can be simplified as "youth, fundraising, agriculture, party and security"; The four important international conferences in the late World War II can be simplified as "opening, morality, elegance and waves".

In this simplified way, you can remember the content of the text quickly.

3. Remember names, places and years skillfully.

The important feature of historical knowledge is that there are many names, places and ages that need to be memorized. If these are removed, it will not become history.

Learning history and remembering names, places and years are indispensable basic skills. Naturally, it takes a lot of effort, but it's not just rote learning. There are also feasible scientific memory methods.

(1) Write down your name.

By remembering the names of some important people in history, we can grasp the characteristics of some people to strengthen our memory.

For example, the emperors in the Han Dynasty were all surnamed Liu, the emperors in the Song Dynasty were surnamed Zhao, and the emperors in the Jin Dynasty were surnamed Sima.

There are two ways to remember people's names: string method and homophonic method, which are especially suitable for remembering foreigners' names.

Homophonic method is to understand foreigners' names according to their homophonic Chinese characters, so that the original meaningless syllables can be turned into meaningful nouns or phrases, which is easy to remember.

Some people might as well give them a nickname, and use homophonic method (nickname) to remember names as smoothly and vividly as possible to prevent vulgarity and vulgarity.

For historical figures, we should not only remember the pronunciation, but also write correctly. If you misspell, all your previous efforts will be in vain.

For example, "Huan" is written as "Heng", "Ying Zheng" is written as "Ying Zheng" and so on.

(2) Remember the place names.

First of all, when learning historical place names, we must use the atlas to deepen our understanding, grasp the geographical position and form a correct spatial representation. Secondly, we should remember the place names and carefully read the comparison table of ancient and modern place names under the historical map in the textbook, so as not to mistake the place names with the same ancient and modern names but not the same place.

(3) Remember your age.

The concept of time is an important part of historical knowledge and one of the characteristics of historical discipline.

First, distinguish between before and after A.D., and master the age and century exchange algorithm.

When studying the ancient history of China and the world, many students often only remember the number of years, but they can't tell whether it is BC or AD. How can we tell the difference between the two? Introduce a simple method: if it is the history of China, as long as we grasp the matter of Wang Mang's restructuring in 8 AD, everything that happened before it (that is, with the Western Han Dynasty as the boundary) is BC, and everything after it is AD; World history can be bounded by Octavian's establishment of the head of state system in Rome in 27 BC. Everything before this was BC, and everything after that was AD.

For example, the Spartan Uprising took place in 73 BC, while Ban Chao's mission to the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty was in 73 AD.

Second, associative memory method.

There are some important events in history that have the same experience time.

Third, comparative memory method.

In China and other parts of the world, several important events sometimes happen in the same era (or century), so if we arrange them together, we can easily remember them.
