Why we need to strengthen historical research, historical collection

Why do we need to strengthen historical research and collection of historical materials to preserve the most precious national memory?

It is precisely because this great victory, which started a new journey of rebirth for ancient China, is an important part of the historical foundation of the Chinese nation's "common destiny". To build our own "historical concept of the war of resistance", in order to "let history speak", to receive the "rejuvenation code" stirring in the depths of time; in order to hold up the torch of history, so that it illuminates the road ahead. The first is to let history speak, to receive the "code of revival" stirring in the depths of time.

Wen Tianxiang has a poem: "In Qi, Tai Shi Jian, in Jin, Donghu Pen." The two historians in the Spring and Autumn period wrote straight books, promoting the righteousness of heaven and earth at the time of the book on bamboo and silk. Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn Annals", "micro but obvious, Zhi but obscure, Wan but chapter, exhaustive but not dirty, punish evil and advise good", so that the "Spring and Autumn Annals" of the history of the book, to become the evaluation of the standard of people and things. From this point of view, accurate writing of history and correct understanding of history is precisely a great binding force to learn the lessons of the past and prevent the recurrence of tragedy.

Forgetting history means cutting off tradition and civilization, and covering up and distorting history is even more of a betrayal of civilization, which will ultimately only lead to the quagmire of tragedy and the opposite of progress. Today, 70 years after the victory in the war of resistance, the years of Ying has long covered the remains of the war, the development of the trend of a little bit of cleaning the pain of history, but "black is black, said 10,000 times can not be turned into white; white is white, said 10,000 times can not be turned into black," the history will never change with the passage of time to the original appearance, the conclusions of history will not allow the civilization of the cover and distortion of history is a betrayal. History will never change its appearance with the passage of time, and the conclusions of history will never be tampered with arbitrarily. The truth is that history will never change its appearance with the passage of time, and its conclusions will never be tampered with arbitrarily. By clarifying the truth and setting the record straight, history can become a force for human progress.

Chinese people have a tradition of reverence for history, a tradition that is mutually reinforcing with a long history of civilization, which has built a heavy China. However, in reality, some people treat history as a "little girl to be painted". Either ignoring the facts, using tributaries to deny the mainstream, confusing the historical cognition, with "nihilism" to dissolve the foundation of society; or presumptuous speculation, using the subjective to deny the objective, shaking the spirit of the coordinates, with the "supremacy of interests" to dissolve the foundation of the faith; or arbitrarily cut, using spoofs instead of creation, subverting the mainstream Or they arbitrarily cut and replace creation with spoofing, subverting the mainstream position and dissolving the value of significance with "pan-entertainment". Those who spread irresponsible speech, those who denigrate and smear heroes and those who entertain and consume history should perhaps remember this sentence: "A rational attitude towards history is to take up the responsibility of history ourselves."

The moment of reviewing history is also the moment of looking to the future. At the turning point of the destiny of the country and the nation, we draw strength every time from looking back at history and recapitulating our view of history. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, in a situation that has not been seen in a thousand years, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and other reformists refreshed their historical thinking with the theory of evolution and the nationalist view of history; and during the May Fourth New Culture Movement, advanced intellectuals rewrote the historical narrative with the Marxist view of history. When history enters a brand new time period, in the context of the era of globalization, democratization, and the superposition of the waves of informationization, history should be viewed with a broader vision and a more universal viewpoint; in the context of China's march towards the world and its rejuvenation, a firmer, more scientific, more humanistic, and more open conception of history should be constructed. Respecting history, defending true knowledge, and learning from the past, only in this way can we hear the echoes of history and move better into the future.
