Confucius said, "Knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy.". Practice has proved that interest plays a positive role in the development of personal ability. Many vivid historical scenes and complex historical events can't be fully displayed only by language description and body movements. Historical film and television works have the characteristics of combining form, sound, color, emotion and meaning, which are easy to attract students and help to arouse their interest and attention.
Second, unscramble movies and TV shows, prove history and enhance young people's understanding of history.
Traditional history teaching is not only narrow in scope and boring in content, but also monotonous in teaching form. The teaching effect is extremely poor. A good historical drama often plays a more important role in history education or history teaching than a good book, and the touch of the senses and soul brought by audio-visual media is incomparable with empty talk or black and white.
With the advantages of audio-visual media and immersive experience, historical film and television plays have narrowed the space-time and psychological distance between the audience and history. Compared with history textbooks, historical film and television dramas have changed from a ruthless historical perspective to a sentimental life perspective, from a grand overall narrative to a panoramic instantaneous reproduction, and from a detailed document revision to a rich text expression, thus organically combining documentary with stories, historical and life views, historical events and people to show a three-dimensional historical landscape.
Thirdly, the use of historical film and television information in history education can improve the ideological and moral cultivation of teenagers.
Educating students' thoughts with excellent historical film and television dramas is not a rigid indoctrination, but an infection of students through vivid characters and beautiful situations. This unique way of education can stimulate students' inner emotional tendency, guide students' positive aesthetic interest and intuitively improve their moral understanding. Therefore, in history teaching, we can combine the content of teaching materials, use the film and television information of historical themes, educate students with the good image of outstanding people, carry out propaganda and infection, and educate students imperceptibly.
However, we should also see that there are still some shoddy historical film and television dramas on the screen in China, which have had a negative and adverse impact on history education. 1. The topic is narrow. Looking at the current screen, we can see that there are a considerable number of works created in the name of history, but their themes are basically limited to the scope of emperors and princes. 2. Many historical facts are scarred and the details are full of loopholes. At present, some writers and editors of historical dramas in China have poor historical skills, lack basic training in history, and some even have no basic historical knowledge. 3. Artistic fiction transcends the bottom line, and the story is almost absurd. 4. A distorted view of history. Compared with the wrong historical knowledge, the wrong view of history is more harmful to the creation of historical film and television. In many popular historical film and television works, the wrong view of history is full of high-sounding screens.
To sum up, historical film and television plays are like a double-edged sword for history education. The correct use of excellent historical film and television dramas can stimulate young people's interest in learning history, enhance their understanding of history, improve students' ideological and moral cultivation, and achieve twice the result with half the effort; And some jokes and inferior historical film and television dramas will not only give young people wrong historical knowledge, but more importantly, they will also distort their view of history. Therefore, it is an urgent task for history educators to teach young people to treat historical film and television dramas correctly and realize the deviation between historical film and television dramas and real history.
