History is the most important part of the cultural makeup of a nation, and if a people forgets its own history, what capital does it have that can gain a foothold in the world? In the autumn of 2017, the unified junior high school history textbook put into use completely deleted the two national heroes Wei Qing and Huo Quyi, causing an uproar on the Internet. What exactly was the reason for deleting them?
In the Renjiao edition of the History textbook, the wars between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu were all deleted, and Wei Qing and Huo, who had previously been called national heroes, also disappeared from the textbooks. Wei Qing, Huo Went ill has been the hero in our hearts since childhood, they are wise and courageous, they are full of a lonely and courageous spirit of struggle, and many people are unconvinced.
In this regard, the Education Bureau gave an official statement, in order to promote national unity; Huo went to the disease, Wei Qing broke the Xiongnu. Later, a large part of the Huns was integrated into the Han nationality, that is to say, a branch of our Han nationality, and some became later, Xianbei, Mongolian and even the nomadic peoples of the northeast and north. That is to say, the fight against the Xiongnu in the history of the Chinese nation can be seen as a civil war.
Therefore, it is not accurate that Huo Andi and Wei Qing are defined as national heroes, it should be Han Dynasty heroes, or national heroes, and the Education Bureau also said that deleting this history will help the current ethnic policy, and if it is not deleted, it may lead to insufficient unity of the nation. Do you have any thoughts on this?
