I once read such a passage: "Taking the mirror of history as a reference, we can cultivate a keen sense of success or failure, let us jump out of the blind spot of human nature and stop falling into historical mistakes." I feel the same way. The following are my feelings about studying history:
Understanding history is not a capital to show off to others. Studying history is to understand the past and culture, but it is not just as simple as understanding the past. History can also inspire and draw lessons from people, because historical mistakes will repeat themselves. As Sima Guang said, "The ups and downs of previous lives will test the gains and losses of today's people", and as Emperor Taizong said, "Taking history as a mirror can be used as a reference." During his ten years in prison, Zhang Xueliang devoted himself to the study of Ming history, so that he became a generation of Ming history experts (he once taught Ming history in the History Department of National Taiwan University and the Chinese Culture College). Reading history makes people wise. Some people are blinded by this leaf, and some people know autumn because of this leaf. Studying history can cultivate our ability to analyze problems and predict the future and our keen sense of information. Studying history also enables us to look at everything in the world with a broad mind and think about fame and fortune with the simplest concept, because history can contain everything, but forget them. Cao Cao is "a hero in the world, and now he lives in peace." The hero who once dominated the world will withdraw from the historical stage sooner or later. The so-called "waves wash out heroes, and success or failure turns empty." At that time, all fame and fortune, intrigue and intrigue will lose their meaning, and only "the breeze on the river and the bright moon in the mountains" will still exist. Isn't it a great pleasure in life to sit with friends and talk about the past and the present?
Learn history and remember it. History is not a tool of politics. Hu Shi said: "History is not a little girl dressed up." We also don't allow anyone to tamper with history. What we have to do is to remember the truth of history and restore it.
