This sentence was originally said by Gong Zizhen, a scholar in Qing Dynasty.
It mainly reflects the importance of ideological and cultural influence to a country and a nation. If a country wants to perish, it must have no historical and cultural support. If you want to destroy a nation, the most important thing is to make it have no cultural thoughts. The strong point of a country and a nation is not money and rights, but their history and culture. By comparing the gains and losses of history, we can always push ourselves to make the country develop, while learning new culture only makes the country develop better. Poverty is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no thought!
The Chinese nation has always attached importance to history, which is a very important cultural tradition. Gong Zizhen's Ding 'an Continuation in Qing Dynasty said: "If you want to know, you must make history first. If you destroy a country, you must first go to its history. " If you understand history, you will understand the human avenue; Only by grasping history can we grasp social laws. The first way to destroy a nation is to let its historical view die out-trampling on national history, deconstructing national culture, washing away national self-confidence and destroying national identity.
Of course, history will not completely repeat the old road, but the future will inevitably continue along the historical track. We can continue to build better new tracks and drive faster new cars, but we can't derail and trip over dangerous wasteland.
Inherit the past and face the future; Based on the contemporary, an overview of ancient and modern. The Chinese nation has come together in the car of history, and will ride together on the same track in the future.
