Because pictures are very intuitive things, just like we will see modern China photographed by many foreign journalists, we will see some silhouettes of that era in the pictures, and we will see how other people live in this era through the daily life of ordinary people in a picture. The picture is a short moment, but it can reflect the overall mental outlook and life state.

There is also a major historical event, such as the photos taken when the Xin Chou Treaty was signed. This event was recorded with pictures, which is a true record of history. Without these pictures, we can only understand that history through written records, and we will not see the historical truth intuitively. It's all our imagination based on historical records.

Through those pictures, we can see how greedy the powers are, how dignified Li Hongzhang's expression is in the photos, and you can see his grief and indignation through his expression, which words can't convey, or it won't be so intuitive. This is the beauty of pictures.

Then the words can be faked, but the pictures are difficult. P pictures are also very modern and easy to see through, so the historical moments recorded by pictures will be more real, which words can't do. Pictures can let you directly see people's real events and moments. You don't need to imagine, for example, the appearance of some great men. History books say that Zhou Yu is more than three feet long and handsome, and each of us will have our own image of Zhou Yu. If we have photography skills and leave a photo of Zhou Yu, we can know what the real Zhou Yu looks like and what his temperament is, so as to better understand this historical figure. So I think pictures are a good way to record history.
