Generally speaking, history usually refers to the history of human society. History refers to what happened in the past, and history is an objective thing. Literature and history are inseparable. Literature participates in the construction and inheritance of history in its own way, which is not only applicable to the creation of historical themes, but also to all literary works and literary studies. History is not a little girl who can dress up, and literature can't "empty" history. [2]

History is also independent of human will. However, history is written by people. Since it is written by people, it will be mixed with people's emotions. Therefore, the historical words we see are mixed with people's emotions. History is produced at any time, and it is a true record of people's free activities in the past. The significance of its existence is to let people sum up the past, enrich their future lives, learn from history, learn from history and discuss the present.

The meaning of "history" was first expressed by the word "history" in Chinese. In Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the word "history" is similar to "thing" and refers to an event.
