Someone once said, "history is just an outdated product eliminated by the long river of time." In today's era, we should look forward with all our strength. " I don't agree with this view. Why didn't the Chinese nation perish in the face of the powerful Japanese aggression? Even though China was still weak at that time, why did it survive in the face of repeated disasters? Develop into a multi-ethnic country. This is closely related to the history of China. The long history has derived the national spirit carved in the bones of the Chinese nation and the patriotic enthusiasm left in the blood! It is precisely because of its long history, and it is precisely because of the precipitation of history over time that today's China has been created!
But the role of history lies not only in the accumulation of national spirit, but also in alerting future generations not to forget the lessons of history. Du Mu said in "A Fu" that "Qin people can't help but mourn, and later people mourn for it, and later people mourn for it without learning, which also makes later people mourn for future generations." This profoundly illustrates the warning function of history, but if we only reflect on history instead of taking history as a mirror, then the significance of historical existence is not so important. Therefore, we should take history as a mirror, remember the national humiliation, and don't make the same mistake again.
However, with the rise of electronic network, various historical online texts emerge in an endless stream, and a large number of online games with historical themes have become popular. History has gradually lost its original function and become a "consumer goods" for entertainment and a "tool" for making money, which is really heartbreaking.
I still remember a historical debate with my friends, which was the only time I felt weak and sad, especially when we were discussing Zhuge Liang, and we had an argument. He vowed that "that's what the Romance of the Three Kingdoms said." At that moment, I was shocked I don't even know how to explain and explain the difference between novels and history books. As we all know, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is an excellent novel, which is beyond doubt. But it is limited to novels, which have fictional elements, and history books do not. Most of the events recorded in the history books are true. In other words, any historical book handed down from ancient times has been tested by time and many scholars, and its reliability is extremely strong.
Why do you say "mostly"? Because history books are divided into official history and unofficial history, the official history is recognized by all dynasties, while unofficial history was written by folk historians, which more or less contains some personal preferences. The official history has some political colors, while unofficial history has a strong individualistic color. I never think that what is said in the history books must be correct. Just like us humans, no one can guarantee that we will never make mistakes. But it is undeniable that historians present an era and various spirits in front of us today with their own pens, which is the meaning of historical existence.
I love history, not only because I can find countless people with lofty ideals and countless sages and heroes in history books. More, in the process of reading history, I found the intersection with that era, and connected the magical world at the other end through simple books. In reality, we all have only one world, and in this real world, we are often full of confusion, uncertainty about the future and self-denial. History books can open another door for us. What you see here is the rise and fall of dynasties, the end of heroes, the lamentation of small people under the times, the character of literati, the blood of military commanders, and the roar of despair ... How can you not touch my heart?
? History, in this impetuous society, has become increasingly unpopular. It seems to be invisible, and it has withdrawn from the stage of our daily life. This has to be said to be the sorrow of our nation. People who forget history have no way out. History has carved the imprint of the Chinese nation in our bones. The long history does not allow us to forget the glory and shame of the past. Forgetting is equal to self-degradation!
We have a rich treasure house, and the treasure of history is hidden in dense fog. Even if we can't see its true face, we shouldn't ignore it, but we should dare to climb it. As a history lover, what I want to see is that with the efforts of countless people, history has unveiled its original charming face. I am more eager to see history accepted by everyone and fascinated by everyone. That day should not be far away.
