History makes people wise.

Looking at China's 5,000-year-old traditional civilization, from the legend of Yao Shunyu to the modern civilized world of 2 1 century, these are historical witnesses, which let us see the development of a nation and the rise and fall of a country. History plays an unshirkable role in this process.

I have seen many TV dramas in ancient costumes, many emperors' lives, and their talents and fatuities. In the 5,000-year civilization of China, the civilized world of the Chinese nation has been recorded since the appearance of Chinese characters, which can be used for reference by future generations. History, many people think it is traditional and backward, but what I didn't expect is that history has long influenced you today.

There is a word that can describe people's special culture, which is called making the past serve the present. This is a requirement for modern people's historical knowledge. If a person knows how to use history to develop himself, use history to spur himself and use history to plan himself, then you will take fewer detours and get closer to success. Many emperors in ancient times often like to compare themselves with sages like Yao Shunyu, and let them learn from wiser monarchs how to govern the country for the people, win the hearts of the people and rule the world.

There have been wise monarchs and fatuous emperors in history. The former includes Yao Shunyu, Shang Tang, Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin, while the latter is represented by Shang Zhouwang and Yang Di. Just imagine, how can a person with the same identity have such a big difference? They are equally expensive as sons of heaven, favored by heaven, and their rights are unparalleled. But why do some people not die and some people not die?

From a historical point of view, their difference lies in their different warning strategies for history. The wise learn to spur and alert themselves with the mistakes of their predecessors, so that they will not become teachers of future generations; Stupid people only see that today's prosperity is better than it was at the beginning, so they put themselves above history. The role of history is actually to warn future generations that good things should continue to be passed down and dross should be eliminated, so as to prevent future generations from making the mistakes of the day again and again.

In the feudal traditional dynasty, no matter whether it is prosperous or not, there is one kind of person who has to exist, and that is the historian. Talking about history books, Sima Qian, a famous historian in China, devoted his life to casting a masterpiece-Historical Records. Shiji is not only a historical book, but also a literary book with strong literary color, and the so-called "no distinction between literature and history" highlights the extreme. This book has been spread to modern times, not because it is full of literary flavor, but because of its detailed historical deeds.

Now, China is a rapidly developing economic society, and everyone is concerned about making money to achieve material satisfaction, regardless of the importance of reading, inner happiness and the cultivation of virtue. Walking in the street, everyone is in a hurry, browsing the material world where electronic products with a strong modern flavor compare with each other. No one slowed down, slowed down and looked at the development of history to see if the mistakes of the ancients are still being made today.

The demise of the Qing Dynasty has brought indelible scars to the Chinese nation and unprecedented shame to the people of China, because everyone knows everything. During the Qing Dynasty, the people of China were devastated by opium, and a nation known as the land of abundance was invaded and divided. That's because the predecessors were addicted to opium, ignoring the initiative of the ancients, thinking that the world was king, not thinking about progress, and ignoring the warning role of history.

Reading the history of the demise of the Qing dynasty, it is easy to remember that we are immersed in the virtual network world today, and it is difficult to extricate ourselves. One hundred years ago, opium destroyed the Chinese nation. Today, young people in China seem to be lost in the online world, unable to find the way forward. Therefore, I want to ask you to see history clearly, see the mistakes of predecessors, find the way to the future with history, and avoid confusion on the road of development with the mistakes of predecessors.

Don't forget, Bacon once said that reading history makes people wise.
