Take the learning method of combining history with theory.
First of all, when reading the text, we should find out the main historical facts and basic conclusions in the text; It is necessary to find out the important historical figures and their main deeds in the text and make a basically correct evaluation of him. Secondly, we should pay attention to the connection between old and new knowledge, learn every paragraph, think about its relationship with old knowledge, think about every historical event and historical figure in the long river of history, and understand their position in the whole historical process and their relationship with historical facts. In this way, while sorting out and learning, we can gradually sort out historical clues and understand the internal relations of historical events, making them regular knowledge; Only in this way can we clearly grasp the cause, process, content, significance and function of each historical event and combine historical theory with historical theory. Thirdly, we should pay attention to the titles of series, units, chapters, sections and purposes, grasp the relationship between their main contents and titles, and connect historical knowledge into a system.
Take the learning method of list and diagram.
The basic elements of history are complicated: in time, you are required to remember the beginning and ending years of each dynasty, the generation years of important historical figures or the reign time of each ruler, and so on. And you can calculate how many years have passed since major events and important people in history; In terms of location, we should be able to identify important mountains and rivers and their flow directions on the historical map of China, and identify the geographical location of important historical events. Be able to master and describe the marching route of national borders and peasant uprisings, and understand the illustrations in textbooks. As for the deeds of people, the content of events and their historical evaluation, it is even more complicated. To master these complicated contents, we must first read and understand them paragraph by paragraph, and then summarize and sort out the digested historical knowledge, and make a historical dynasty evolution table, a historical event comparison table, an important chronological relationship table and so on. Only in this way can the knowledge in textbooks be incorporated into our own knowledge system.
The process of designing a chart is to draw a sketch first, simplify and condense the content of the textbook, and then remove the secondary factors and secondary connections from the sketch. This can simplify the complex and be clear at a glance. For example, we can compile a chronology of events of the unification of China and Qin, a brief list of scientists, writers and their representative works in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and a comparative list of modern bourgeois revolutionary groups. This list diagram method can simplify and systematize historical knowledge, facilitate memory and comparative analysis, and clearly see the overall development trend of history.
The remembrance of the past is the teacher of the future
The purpose of studying history is to make the past serve the present and make the past serve the present. We should adopt the learning method of integrating theory with practice and learn to use historical knowledge. This requires standing high, looking far and digging deep, and linking history study with one's own ideological reality. You can deepen your understanding of historical knowledge by writing some notes, comments or small papers. For example, studying history, we know that China is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world. It entered the feudal society nearly a thousand years earlier than western Europe, and its social development, culture and science and technology were in the leading position in the world for a long time until the end of the Ming Dynasty. We might as well think deeply: why did such an ancient civilization become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society? In this way, combined with realistic thinking, we can not forget the historical lessons, understand the truth that backwardness will be beaten, and stimulate our ambition to work hard for the rejuvenation of China. For another example, in the modern history of China, from Lin Zexu, Hong Xiuquan, Kang Youwei and Sun Yat-sen to Li Dazhao, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, countless people with lofty ideals and lofty ideals emerged. They went through hardships to find the truth of saving the country and the people, and finally found a correct path for the China revolution. Their lofty aspirations and dedication can inspire us to inherit the revolutionary tradition and study hard. In this way, when we study history in combination with reality, we will have a clear purpose, learn interest, deepen our understanding of historical facts and gradually grasp the true meaning of history.
