High school essay 800 words to the correct treatment of history as the topic

"Using history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall". The current state of Sino-Japanese relations is to a large extent related to the history of Sino-Japanese relations, and "learning from history" has become the basis and prerequisite for dealing with Sino-Japanese relations. At the time of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, China made "learning from history and looking to the future" the basic principle guiding Sino-Japanese relations. The "history" of "learning from history" is the history of Sino-Japanese relations. How to understand and look at the history of Sino-Japanese relations and find lessons to be learned from it will be a historical and practical task that the people of the two countries must accomplish.

When it comes to the history of Sino-Japanese relations, the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War and Japan's invasion of China are vivid in history, and the harm it caused to the Chinese people is engraved in their hearts. No wonder when people mention "learning from history" in Sino-Japanese relations, they will naturally think of this part of history and elevate it to the strategic level of national dignity and honor and disgrace of the country. Such an understanding of the history of Sino-Japanese relations is not wrong, but it cannot be considered comprehensive and correct. Premier Zhou Enlai once described the history of Sino-Japanese relations in ten words, namely, "two thousand years of friendship, fifty years of antagonism". "Two thousand years of friendship, fifty years of confrontation" is the most comprehensive and accurate description and expression of the history of Sino-Japanese relations. China-Japan relations, from the historical point of view, friendship is long-term, confrontation is short-lived; friendship is the mainstream of history, confrontation is a "difficult and bitter" page in the mainstream of history. To see only "50 years of confrontation" and ignore "2,000 years of friendship" or to see only "2,000 years of friendship" and ignore "50 years of confrontation" is incomplete. "Both are incomplete and lead to wrong and even harmful conclusions.

The "two-thousand-year friendship" has led to long-term peace between China and Japan and ****same development. China and Japan, dating back to more than two thousand years ago, the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty is the peak of cultural exchanges between the two countries, both Japanese emissaries gathered in Chang'an, but also the monk Jianzhen east to Japan. During the long process of interaction, Chinese culture was spread and Japanese culture developed rapidly. In the geographical relationship between the two countries, the concepts of oriental culture and social structure with many common factors were slowly formed. Even in modern times, the two countries coincidentally started the "Hundred Days' Reform" and the "Meiji Restoration" to promote social development, which fully illustrates the "similarity" between the two countries in terms of the cycle and rhythm of their own social development. The "two thousand years of friendship". The "2,000 years of friendship" has enabled the people of the two countries to enjoy a peaceful environment for a long time, to enjoy each other's cultural nourishment, and to enjoy the fruits of social civilization for a long time. Even after the Sino-Japanese War, Sun Yat-sen, Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Zhou Enlai and others still traveled between China and Japan for the sake of the revolution and the friendship between the two countries. "Two thousand years of friendship" history proves that "peace is two benefits", and in order to *** life, harmony will *** win.

"Fifty years of confrontation" has led to a breakdown in Sino-Japanese relations and social stagnation. After the "Meiji Restoration", Japan, supported by its rapid and powerful national strength, forgetting the two countries two thousand years of friendly historical traditions, expansionist ambitions, blatantly provoked the "Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War", so that the Chinese people suffered shame. Decades later, in the war of aggression against China, Japanese militarism committed another heinous crime on the unhealed wounds of the Chinese people. The two wars took place in half a century, so that the two peoples of the ancestral generations of hard-earned wealth created in an instant destroyed, so that the two countries "two thousand years of friendship" of the historical tradition of a sudden break, so that the two peoples have lost peace and stability, suffering from war and war trauma of torture. The two wars caused China's society to regress and the country to be divided, while Japan's prosperity was instantly reduced to ruins and its national sovereignty was restricted. The history of "fifty years of confrontation" has proved that "fighting will cause two injuries", confrontation is bound to lose together, and war is bound to lose together.

If the history of Sino-Japanese relations of "2,000 years of friendship and 50 years of confrontation" only proves the wisdom of civilization that "harmony is beneficial to both sides, and fighting is detrimental to both sides", it is obviously incomplete. What is the key to the "2,000 years of friendship" and what is the key to the "50 years of antagonism" must be seriously summarized by the present generation. The key to "two thousand years of friendship" lies in China. In the history of "two thousand years of friendship", China has always been in the lead, but China did not use its leading position to expand into Japan, much less to start a war, but rather adhered to the national tradition of good-neighborliness, which has resulted in benefits for both itself and others. The key to the "fifty years of confrontation" is Japan. Before and after the "fifty years of confrontation", Japan's development was faster and stronger than that of China, and Japan was emboldened by its leading position in development, and its ambitions swelled, expanding outward, with the result that it was detrimental to both itself and others. How to look at and treat their own leading position, how to look at and treat their own status as a great power, the correct approach is: leading without hegemony, strong without expansion; leading without forgetting good neighbor, strong more to be friends.
