I remember in November last year, a 13 -year -old girl in Hong Kong was charged in the Tuen Mun Court Youth Court.The girl had participated in the burning of the national flag and was charged with the crime of insulting the national flag.In the court, the judge learned that the girl's Chinese historical subjects were failed, so she warned her to read more Chinese history and understand the significance of the national flag.

This very eye -catching report aroused my interest.The power of history is so great that not understanding that history may lead to the serious consequences of officials, and it is unexpected.Is history really so charming?Since history is so important, what is the situation of learning history in reality?

In fact, people generally believe that history is an indescribable discipline.Remember a lot of names that have nothing to do with reality, age, and events, waste time, and it is meaningless.In all the high -efficiency business and economy society, learning history cannot make money.You should look forward, don't look at the slogan to sound the night.

These remarks seem to make sense on the surface.The reason why such a phenomenon is not history is not history, but the learning method.The method is wrong, you ca n’t appreciate the essence, you ca n’t learn and use it alive, and naturally you ca n’t play the function of history. Like cooking, no matter how good the food, the cooking method is wrong, it cannot cause people's appetite.

What is the correct way to learn history?

The author believes that learning history should be gradual, rather than blindly adopting duck -filled type, desperately stuffing a lot of messages from students, so that the information flooded into disaster and had grievances with history.

History learning should be easy and natural, and nutrition should be absorbed in the subtle way.This can start with historical figures, interesting stories, film and television information, and famous monuments, so that learners feel that history is integrated into life, everything is omnipresent.Especially for film and television information, this is a soft power. It is widely accepted and is easily accepted.When we are watching Bao Gong, Daming Fenghua, and Qing Palace, we often evoke the impulse to further investigate the truth of historical.

Once you are interested in history, you can systematically go to the anvil and research some topics, from point to face, wide and then special.From historical novels, to special papers, and even most head history, first -hand information, primitive archives, etc., in -depth discussions step by step.

The highest state of learning history is integrating and connected, in the realization of the words, and finally the historical philosophy.Reading history is reading humanity.The greatest lesson of human beings is that they did not learn from historical lessons, so they repeatedly repeated the same mistakes again.In fact, all incidents, as small as personal encounters to national events, as long as they are familiar with history, they can often find the corresponding cases. They are adapt from time to find solutions.

Although history cannot be repeated, there will be amazing similarities, and some events can also be interpreted by causality.

Take the history of Song as an example.According to the research of historians, most of them suspect that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's collapse was actually murdered.

The murderer behind the candle shadow in the Song Dynasty was his brother Zhao Guangyi.Brother Zhao Guangyi succeeded Song Taizong, and after the southern Tang Dynasty, he raped the Lord of the Lord of Li.After a series of means, he forced his brother and two nephews (the son of Zhao Kuangyin), and finally made his son the emperor.Since then, the nine emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty in 168, except for Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin himself, the rest of the emperor were Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi and his descendants until the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by Jin.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the two concubines of Hui Qin and many concubines were captured by the Jin Bing. They were all Zhao Guangyi and his descendants. This is the well -known Jingkang in Chinese history.Therefore, people in the Yuan Dynasty had such generosity: Jiangnan was left in Lihua, and was strongly folded by the king.At that time, Zhao Guangyi was fortunate to have been retributed to the descendants of the later generations.

After the death of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Gaozong Zhao Gou was in the south of the river, and it was called the Southern Song Dynasty in history.In 152 of the Nine Emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty, except that Song Gaozong Zhao Gou was Zhao Guangyi, all others were all descendants of Zhao Kuangyin.Because Song Gaozong Wuhou, his brothers and nephews who were alive at that time were captured to the Jin Guo. After Zhao Guangyi, no one could inherit the throne after Zhao Gou's death.EssenceThis is causal reincarnation.

Reading from a long time, there are many examples of cause and effect retribution from a long distance.Historically, as an individual's practice, you can wash your mind, make people feel awe, and let historical learning enter another realm.

For another example, when we read the history of the Ming Dynasty, we often condemned the Emperor Wanli, because he was lazy, but he did not go to the dynasty for 28 years.Historians have always believed that the death of the Ming Dynasty died in Wanli.

In 1957, after the Dingling of the Emperor Wanli, Zhu Xijun, his skull was sent to the Beijing Stomatological College for preliminary identification, and found that Wanli suffered from severe dental caries and periodontal disease.Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences determined from the bone that Wanli was 1.64 meters tall, humpback, and the right leg was obviously shorter than the left leg.Earlier, historians analyzed that the Emperor Wanli did not go to the dynasty because of the national foundation, and he was stubborn with the ministers.Now that I have restored the bones, I know that the physical conditions such as Emperor Wanli have seriously hindered him to attend various activities. Perhaps because of this, he was notorious.

The truth of history is sometimes confusing and unreasonable.To understand the truth, in addition to understanding the big historical background, you should also pay attention to details, combine the actual situation, and explore the psychological activities of the characters with logical thinking.This is exactly the ability to train people to think and analyze, and can be used as the way of life and life.

History learning, as far as personal cultivation, life philosophy, as far as current affairs and world patterns, can find answers from history.Forgetting history means betrayal, this sentence has been regarded as truth by countries around the world.This sentence undoubtedly warns people to keep in mind history, keep in mind the blue wisdom of the sages, and the hard -working credit for establishing a country.
