I read the Han translation of Historical Records published by Zhonghua Book Company in June 20 10. I read Historical Records by reading every article, reading aloud and copying new words. From June 65438+ 10 last year, I spent two or three hours in my spare time every day for half a year. I finished reading this 526500-word historical masterpiece the other day.
My ancient prose foundation is relatively shallow, and I have no ability to study it; I can't remember clearly after reading it, so I can only read it through, probably. In the process of reading, and after reading, there are many feelings and experiences. However, due to my limited reading and historical knowledge, I can only talk about my experience in reading Historical Records in a simple, brief and general way.
First of all, after reading Historical Records, the overall feeling of this period of history is diverse, complex, tortuous and arduous.
Second, historical records mostly describe the deeds of princes, princes and advisers. Their fates are varied, bumpy and unexpected, and most of them are not good. Not many people died well, but many people committed suicide. That's how fate ends.
Third, there were many schools of thought in the historical period at that time, such as the name of Confucianism and Mohism of Pharaoh Zhuang, but it felt that people had no definite technique to follow. For example, some people think that Confucianism can achieve fame, and they have the opportunity to display it for a period of time; But the environment has changed, the emperor or the gang has changed, and then the original prominent people often fall. Originally, the belief in Confucian classics not only failed to preserve one's health, but also often became the cause of one's bad luck. People feel that in those days, they often don't know what kind of ideological spirit to hold in order to settle down. Like Shang Yang and Li Si, they were in power for a period of time and let the emperor rule the world with his own skills, but in the end they all died under their own spells.
In contrast, among many schools, people based on the skill of Huang Lao are relatively superior, and many of them can die well. But in the end, most of these people are divorced from social politics, living in seclusion or at home, and can no longer have an impact on society. Can only be regarded as a very good preservation of themselves. Such as Chen Ping and Zhou Bo.
Fourth, it is to see all kinds of desires in human nature, constantly and strongly. History is full of lessons, fighting and killing, intrigue and intrigue. The winner is king and the loser is the enemy. The process was thrilling and the ending was tragic. However, once you succeed, you can become a high official, become famous, get rich, or achieve great ideals; Groups of historical figures are still willing to take risks, use their brains and feet, advance wave after wave, sharpen their heads and climb up, in order to succeed. But most of the endings are still miserable, either killed, forced to commit suicide or demoted. Qin. The inner strength of desire in human nature, or the influence of success and wealth in cultural inheritance, is full of articles in the description of Historical Records, which is very shocking and emotional.
Fifth, there is no moral integrity and no internal code. Many people in have it both ways only act for their own interests. For the benefit, they can do things that go against their moral conscience. There are many such people, such as Gong and Zhufuyan, and most of them have no good end.
Sixth, people at that time didn't seem to take life seriously, as if life was worthless. People who seize power with life and death are ready to sentence a person or kill a person. Some people who can talk to and influence the obligee always suggest that the obligee execute a person. Like a mistake, Yuan Ang remonstrated with the emperor, was pushed out instantly, and was beheaded inexplicably. There are also many people who often take the initiative to commit suicide or are forced to commit suicide. For example, many princes and princes, empresses and so on. As flying general Li Guang. My overall feeling after reading it is that almost half of them were killed and half committed suicide. These people, killing one person or killing themselves, are as casual as deciding to kill a chicken. I am puzzled by this phenomenon. I don't know if people thought that death was a meaningless thing and life was irrelevant. In addition, there are many cruel punishments, and three families of nine are easily destroyed, which is very shocking and emotional. Reading it is both shocking and cruel.
The above is my overall feeling after reading Historical Records. Historical Records mostly describes the history of upper-class people, but not ordinary people (only assassins, rangers, funny people, Huo Zhi and other lower-class people). But through the understanding of these elites, we know that the life and fate of ordinary people at that time were not much better. It really makes people sigh, feeling the history and destiny of the world at that time.
But we can't underestimate the history at that time, because the times have developed to that period and level. People's understanding, ideology, cultural experience and economic and social development determined the appearance at that time, the system and social form at that time, and the fate of the world at that time. Even if history can be turned back, it is likely to be like this. We can only respect and accept that history. Only in this way can we feel the hardships, struggles, limitations, pains and struggles of our ancestors, and then learn from them, so as to make ourselves more harmonious, positive and positive, do our job well and build the present society better, which is the purpose of learning history.
By reading historical records, we can also see that history is developing and the times are progressing, which makes people cherish today's happy life more.
The author Sima Qian is a great man. He has lofty ideals and ambitions. After humiliating castration, he endured humiliation and worked hard for many years to complete this masterpiece. Historical Records has become a great classic in the history of China, with a strong sense of history and literariness. Lu Xun spoke highly of "Li Sao, a masterpiece of historians". Sima Qian's "the study of heaven and man, through the changes of ancient and modern times, has become a family statement", which has become a great man of a generation. Sima Qian and his Historical Records both shine in history and will be recorded in history forever, shining together with the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon.
Sima Qian's justice, persistence in an ideal and a spirit conveyed in the article also inspired me. My admiration and admiration for Sima Qian is really like the water of a river. Sima Qian is a good example.
With copper as a mirror, you can be well dressed; Take people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses; Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. Reading history makes people wise. Reading Historical Records does have the above experience.
Reading "Historical Records" can not only understand history, but also learn literature and get a good literary influence.
The agreement between Historical Records and spiritual healing makes people feel pity, open-minded and inspired at the same time. Peace of mind, less agitation, no dissatisfaction with the present. People today are much happier than the ancients, not a little. So we should cherish it more.
And those ancient people in history, they are not others, but our ancestors and ancestors. By reading the history, we know something about their joys and sorrows, life and death, honor and disgrace, sadness and joy, and feel the same. The progress of history and the development of society are all the efforts, struggles and even bloodshed of generations. So, thank history! Bless the ancestors! And cherish the present era and the good life now.
