History is a summary of the wisdom and experience of predecessors. When I was a child, many people would still remember the story of Sima Guang smashing a jar and Cao Chong calling himself an elephant. The wisdom of being a man and doing things contained in these historical stories has inspired the hearts of children, which is incomparable to ordinary fairy tales. Reading more history can increase wisdom, both adults and children can.

Third, historical stories can cultivate people's sentiments.

By reading historical stories, people can learn about people and things in history. Know what kind of person is a good person and what kind of person is a bad person, what kind of life example should be chosen, what kind of life ambition should be established, and how to cultivate the character of life. Reading historical stories can cultivate people's sentiment, and reading the deeds of the ancients often will naturally produce admiration. Over time, people's temperament will change.

Fourth, historical stories can broaden people's horizons and accumulate knowledge.

China has a long history, and it is not easy to fully understand it. However, reading some short stories often, over time, is a kind of accumulation. Reading a story every day is more than 300 stories a year. It is not only a wealth of knowledge, but also an excellent material for talking and writing with people. From this perspective, both adults and children should read more historical stories to expand their understanding of China's history and culture.
