1, if you don't understand history, it's hard to learn nutrition, experience and enlightenment from it.
As a science, history has its own discipline system and broad inclusiveness, including the relationship between people, society and nature, including politics, economy, culture, nationality, international relations, social customs and so on. Westerners say, "history tells the past, but this past is the history of the present." History passes on the experiences of old people to children. Without history, old people are like children. "It can be seen that history is a reflective learning. Learn from the past and try to learn from it. Therefore, it is an indisputable fact that history has the function of drawing lessons from senior officials and enlightening the mind.
2. Without understanding history, it is difficult to reveal social laws and predict future development.
Emperor Taizong once said: "Take people as a mirror and you can know the gains and losses;" Taking history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall. " This defines the highest social function of history, that is, the unique function of history to reveal the mystery of social development and predict the direction of social progress. It can be seen that history is the study of governing and rejuvenating the country. One of the tasks of history education is to cultivate and educate young people from the perspective of dialectical materialism and historical materialism, to help them form a correct view of the world and history, to help them correctly understand China's past and present, and to make them full of confidence.
The rejuvenation of the motherland needs patriotism.
History has a great educational function, especially patriotism education. "Historians are the mirror of the people and the source of patriotism" (Liang Qichao, what is patriotism? Patriotism is one of the deepest feelings for the motherland that have been fixed for thousands of years. It has great cohesion and centripetal force. In the increasingly fierce international competition and severe and complicated international environment, in the process of national prosperity and national rejuvenation, we urgently need patriotism as a spiritual pillar and its great cohesion to enhance citizens' national self-confidence, bravery, self-consciousness and self-improvement, so as to make efforts for national prosperity and national rejuvenation.
4. Human development is eager for humanistic care.
The development of "people" should be comprehensive, healthy and harmonious, which is the need of people's own development, because good humanistic quality can improve people's personality cultivation and quality of life, optimize people's cognitive structure, broaden people's thinking horizons and enhance people's temperament. Under the general situation that the rapid social transformation and high-tech development have a great impact on people's life, way of thinking, morality and values, and humanistic knowledge is relatively neglected, there are short-sighted pragmatic tendencies in education, such as attaching importance to "examination", ignoring quality, attaching importance to rationality and ignoring ai, which leads to the abnormal development of young students and the malnutrition of humanistic knowledge. For the lifelong development of students, we should attach importance to the cultivation of humanistic spirit.
