1, insight, ponder:

The deeper you know about history, the more you will pay attention to "analysis". Every deepening will not stop at the conclusion that there is only one truth left. Perhaps, there are many different truths hidden behind.

Take historical records as an example. You may have read the same thing in biographies, families and biographies. After reading this chapter, you think this is probably the case. If you look at the families involved in this matter again, you will find that it seems that this is not the case. When you look at the biographies of the relevant people again, it seems to be another matter.

This cycle, different angles, different positions and even different moods will give you different answers. Therefore, when training a person to look at the same thing, we should analyze things from different angles, and the angle of understanding directly affects people's understanding of things.

2, put yourself in social practice:

History books are novels, describing people's lives, ways of doing things, living environment and so on in all ages and classes. Every historical figure is a role. In the process of studying history, I often ask, "If I were this person, what kind of decision would I make at this moment and how would things develop next?"

At the same time, if you have a deeper understanding of history, you will also send out "What would he do if it was xxx (a historical figure)?" Bring into the scene, experience various social practices in reading, and constantly analyze, think and distinguish in practice.

3, conducive to the cultivation of critical thinking ability:

History is one of the majors that can exercise critical reading, thinking and questioning ability, and it is possessed by talents urgently needed now.

History will give you almost everything you want. The logic between events, the correct interpretation of conclusions and the analysis of factors will exercise your thinking. Studying law and business, there is no more comprehensive case analysis than history. Better historical literacy in these disciplines will often improve the professional level, at least with deeper experience and more comprehensive vision.
