Why study history

1. History is the foundation of a nation's well-being

Studying history enables us to better understand where the Chinese nation came from and where it is going. Marx said that we know only one sole science - historiography.

China is the only country in the world with an uninterrupted historical record of several thousand years. The vast historical texts record the various knowledge, experience and wisdom accumulated by the Chinese people in creating history. History is the root of reality, and the present day of any country comes from yesterday; only by understanding her yesterday can we know where she came from and where she is going. To recognize today's China, we have to start from understanding her history.

2. The study of history can provide useful insights for the management of the country.

History is the book of practice and wisdom of previous generations. Chinese history is the history of the Chinese people, the Chinese nation's unremitting entrepreneurial history and development history, contains a very rich experience of governance, contains a lot of the country, society, the nation and personal success and failure, rise and fall, safety and danger, positive and evil, honor and shame, righteousness and profit, honesty and greed, etc. thinking.

Today's China has evolved from yesterday, and many of the things we encounter today can be found in history. Only by seriously studying and summarizing Chinese history can we make full use of the great wisdom accumulated by the Chinese nation for more than 5,000 years to resolve the problems and challenges encountered on the way forward.

3. The study of history can strengthen the backbone and the strength of being Chinese.

To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, it is necessary for Chinese people to have backbone and backbone. As the world's only ancient civilization with an unbroken record of history, the history of civilization for more than 5,000 years is the spiritual source of the Chinese people's backbone and backbone.

The excellent culture and glorious history of the Chinese nation is the root and soul of the Chinese nation, and is the endogenous power of the Chinese nation to live on and pass on the flame. To realize the goal of "two hundred years" and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we need to learn about the history of our nation and country, pass on the achievements and glory of our ancestors, and strengthen the backbone and spirit of being Chinese, so that our excellent culture and glorious history can better serve the great cause of national rejuvenation.

4, more respect for history more thinking.

Respect and cherish their own history, protect their own historical and cultural heritage. History cannot be chosen arbitrarily, nor can it be changed. How to treat history is a serious question about the nation's past, present and future.

The history of the Chinese nation's civilization of more than 5,000 years, the history of the Chinese people's struggle of more than 170 years since modern times, the history of the struggle of the Chinese ****anufacturing party of more than 90 years, the history of the development of the Chinese people ****and the country of more than 60 years, and the history of exploration of reform and opening up of more than 30 years, all these histories are one and the same, and they can't be severed. History should be more respect, more thinking, to protect the historical and cultural heritage as much as their own lives, and constantly draw useful nutrients from history.

5, adhere to the Marxist view of history and methodology, vigilance and resistance to historical nihilism.

Historical nihilism, under the banner of "restoring history" and "rethinking history," denies the progress and positive figures in Chinese history, especially in modern history, denies the history of the Chinese Communist Party, and discredits national heroes and revolutionary leaders. The distorted view of history is used to dissolve people's correct understanding of history. How to treat the history of one's own country is an issue that must be resolved by any country in the process of modernization.

The history of the Chinese people's resistance to imperialist aggression, which they have written with their blood and lives since modern times, should be unswervingly defended, and the erroneous statements distorting history and denying and glorifying wars of aggression should be refuted with facts; national heroes should be remembered and revered; and revolutionary leaders should not be mired in the quagmire of nihilism, but should be viewed and analyzed in a comprehensive, historical and dialectical manner.

6. Drawing experience and wisdom from history.

Study the history of China's civilization for more than 5,000 years, to deepen the understanding of the Chinese people's fine traditions and spiritual character. 5,000 years of Chinese civilization is an incomparably rich treasure trove, from which we can draw rich nutrients, and obtain a strong spiritual impetus. Embodied in the fine traditions and spiritual character of the Chinese nation. The Chinese nation has formed many fine traditions in the process of development.

For example, from the history of China, which has seen many wars and divisions but has finally moved towards unity, we can learn from the Chinese people's fine tradition of honoring national unity and maintaining national unity. Chinese civilization has developed a noble spiritual character in the course of its development. Qu Yuan was expelled and gave "Li Sao", Sima Qian made "The Records of the Grand Historian", reflecting the noble spiritual character of the Chinese nation of strength and perseverance, self-improvement.

The Chinese people have inherited the "hardship and suffering, the Jade Ruyi Yu Cheng", "rich and noble can not be obscene, poor and lowly can not be moved, the mighty can not be subjugated", "life from ancient times who have no death, and to take the heart of Dan Zhi Zhao Khan Qing", "the rise of the world, the world is the only thing that can be done to protect the people's lives. ""The rise and fall of the world, the responsibility of the man" and other fine traditions and noble spirit, for us today to form a good character, cultivate the righteousness is still of great significance.

7. Study the modern history of China and deepen your understanding of the laws of social development in modern China.

Modern Chinese history is a history of suffering and struggle towards victory. To study modern Chinese history, it is necessary to gain a deeper understanding of the sufferings that China has gone through, and to learn y the lesson that if you are backward, you will be beaten and bullied. In modern times, the Chinese people have tried to realize national rejuvenation through the reformism of the feudal ruling class, old-fashioned peasant wars and bourgeois revolutions, but all have failed.

In the end, it was the Chinese ****production party that united and led the Chinese people to revolutionize China's destiny. Now, we are closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any other time in history, and we are more confident and capable of realizing this goal than at any other time in history. To study the modern history of China, we need to y understand the historical inevitability of history and the people's choice of the Chinese ****-producing party and the road to socialism, so as to continuously enhance the "four self-confidence".

8, learning world history knowledge, deepen the understanding of the outside world.

Chinese history is an important part of world history. Today's world is an open world, China and the world more closely linked, more need to study world history knowledge, with a broad historical perspective to better understand the outside world, from different civilizations to actively absorb the beneficial components of the service of China's socialist modernization.
