What is the significance of reading history?

1: Have a heart-to-heart talk after dinner, 2. Apply what you have learned, 3. Understand the traditional culture of China ... Most people's interest in history is limited to listening to stories and looking at pictures, taking storytelling and historical dramas as history, and they are keen on romance and gossip such as Yilu, Erzhao, SanDian Wei, Siguan, Wuma and Liuzhangfei. This is not called reading history. People at a higher level think that real history is more interesting than novels. For example, people who like to watch the history of World War II and are familiar with senior German generals can only be regarded as an introduction to history. Just as drinking is not for quenching thirst, "reading" is not "watching". If you want to talk about the realm of reading history, you can't just understand human events. The key is to get ideas from it.
