"With copper as a mirror, you can wear a crown; if you take people as a mirror, you can see what you have gained and lost; if you take history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall." Know where our lives originate and where our steps go. The name 'Descendants of Yan Huang' has not changed for thousands of years, and it will not change for thousands of years! This passage from CCTV's large-scale cultural program "China in the Classics" answers the question: Why do people read "History"?
Some people say that if you read the "History of History", you can also understand human nature. Some people say that if you don't read the hundred and three articles of the "Chronicle of History", it is useless to read all the books. Some people also say that "History" is a "collection of wrong topics", which can help you find a successful path in life, and learning "History" from a young age will learn great wisdom from it. To this end, for the youth group, guangdong people's publishing house launched the "History of Youth Edition" series of books.
Many of the reading questions and material analysis questions in the language test are from the "History". For example, the primary school texts "Xianghe", "Tian Ji Horse Racing", "Ximen Leopard Zhiyi", "Guan Bao's Friendship", "Zhou YafuJun Xiaoliu", "Chen Shijia", "Hongmen Feast" and so on in the middle and high school textbooks. "History" is favored by those who write questions in the college entrance examination. Since 1952, the knowledge points required for the college entrance examination every year have included the content of "History".
It is such a masterpiece, but it makes many people prohibitive, because the original text of the "History" is obscure and difficult to understand. "History and Youth Edition" solves this problem for everyone.
First of all, it is checked by young historians to restore the original appearance of the "History". This set of eight books is jointly compiled by Professor Wang Hao, a well-known young historian and vice dean of the School of History of Nankai University, and Professor Wang Jianming, doctor of history and associate researcher of Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences, with reference to the authoritative version, absorbing the latest research results, and attaching the corresponding common characters to the original text of the kanky and improperly simplified words; the pronunciation of strange characters is equipped with annotation analysis and story-related allusions and character extensions, which can be easily and barrier-free.
Secondly, this set of books contains nearly 100 historical pictures containing ancient customs and ancient rhymes, such as the statue of King Wen of Zhou, the statue of Xiang Yu, the lecture map of Confucius Xingtan, the map of the Retreat of the Qin Division in the Battle of Xinling Jun, etc.; it contains the stories of more than 100 famous historical figures, such as The King of Wu, the Overlord Zizhi Wujiang, the Chen Sheng Wuguang Uprising, and Zhang Qian's Chiseling of the Western Regions; it contains more than 200 knowledge points, covering primary and secondary school language textbooks, including the frequent examinations of literature and language, and selecting typical chapters that have frequently appeared in reading comprehension exercises in recent years to interpret.
Of course, reading the Chronicles is not just about preparing for exams. Because history is a beacon for people to penetrate people's feelings. Looking at the worldly people's hearts in the "Chronicle of History", there has been no major change in three thousand years. Reading historical figures and stories is a shortcut to understand the world and understand people's feelings.
