Brief introduction to history

History, referred to as "history" for short, refers to the systematic recording, research and explanation of the past events and activities of the human society. History exists objectively. No matter how writers write history, history exists in its own way and cannot be changed.

The problem of history is to discover the real past constantly, to speak with materials, and how people can become a negotiable problem in reality. History is an extension. History is the inheritance, accumulation and expansion of culture and the track of human civilization.

History refers to the development process of the objective world movement, which can be divided into natural history and human social history. For example, the history of the universe, the history of the earth, the history of mankind, the history of birds and so on. Corresponding to the concept of history, history can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. "History" in a broad sense can refer to all the events that happened in the past, not necessarily related to human society.
