The significance of history to modern people is not only the accumulation of knowledge, but also a kind of spiritual inheritance, learning Xi history, visiting historical sites is essentially to use the environment as a carrier to instill a kind of values in people, so that the spirit of ancestors can be continued.

In essence, it is the inheritance of culture.

First of all,Books are the first way for people to learn about historyThe process of reading history is not only the accumulation of knowledge, but also the best way to interpret the wisdom of the ancients. Three thousand years of history, although the dynasty is changing frequently, but the underlying logic of the operation of things is basically the same, and human nature has not changed, so people who read history can get along with the world calmly while knowing the rise and fall.

This is the first stage where most people and history are linked.

In addition to books, the second way for us to understand history is to open our legs and go deep into the front line of history to feel it for ourselves

Walking into the museum, we can further enrich our historical knowledge from the unearthed artifacts in front of usto verify your historical knowledge;Approaching the ancient battlefield, we can touch the scene and restore the historical mirror image of the year in our brains, and we can further deepen our understanding of history from the geographical, humanistic and other levelsApproaching the dojos where historical figures once lived, we can further understand their spiritual power that has been labeled

The author has also experienced a process from books to reality, first browsing a large number of history books, and then approaching museums and historical sites around the world to further interpret history, when the time with history is getting longer and longer, the author found that the historical scene brings individuals not only the further accumulation of knowledge, the depth of understanding of history, but more importantly,When you substitute yourself in that environment, the spirit of the ancients also invisibly reshapes your values

One of the most common things I say when I talk about history with my friends is: "There is never a shortage of talented people in this world, but people with spirit." ”

For example, Zhuge Liang. Let's be honest,Zhuge Liang was not Liu Bei's confidant at all, Liu Bei's important masterminds are actually Fa Zheng and Pang Tong, Liu Bei's capture of Yizhou and Hanzhong is more out of the planning of these two people, Zhuge Liang only became the backbone of the Shu Han group after the death of these two people, especially after Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang became the optimus prime of Shu Han, and the scope of management covered Shu Han's military, economic, personnel and other fields.

Moreover, the several Northern Expeditions launched by Zhuge Liang were also won less and more defeated, and the overall strength of Shu Han was seriously overdrawn, and it failed to bring breakthrough development to Shu Han until his death. As for why he was mythologized, one is the vigorous rendering of the literary work "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and more importantly,Zhuge Liang's spirit is a scarce commodity of history

In the process of Shu Han's implementation of the "virtual monarchy", Prime Minister Zhuge Liang not only did not challenge the imperial power as a "powerful minister", but expanded the living space of Shu Han through a dedicated attitude and several suicidal northern expeditions, so as to repay the favor of the first emperor.

Yes,Zhuge Liang's loyalty and trembling attitude towards his career are the key to people's respect for him。On the Internet, words such as "I really hope the prime minister can win once" and "The crew of "Three Kingdoms" held a funeral for the prime minister after a thousand years" are enough to show that people recognize Zhuge Liang's spirit more. When people approached the Wuhou Temple, that spirit was even more intense than in books.

This is the meaning of going out, in essence, it is to further empower one's own cognition and values, and recreation and rich experience are only incidental values.

When we come to the West Lake and approach Yue Fei's tomb, Yue Fei's spirit of "serving the country with loyalty" will also strongly stimulate our brains, which is a process of positive empowerment for our own values.

That's the power of the environmentFirst, the atmosphere and energy of the scene are changing everyone all the time

Also, when we came to the bank of the Xiangjiang River and saw the restored scene of Lin Zexu and Zuo Zongtang's night talk on the Xiangjiang River, the spirit of Zuo Gong and Lin Gong who took the world as their own responsibility also rushed to our faces and broke into our spiritual territory strongly.

Perhaps, at that moment, you will understand the meaning of learning Xi, which is a process of accumulation for the future of great ambition and taking the world as its own responsibility.

And that's the power you can't get when you're holding this book.

Why is it said that the road you have traveled and the things you have experienced are also knowledge**, the reason is here.

Yes, there are two processes that a person must go through to broaden their horizons:Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles。Zuo Zongtang said that "read through ten thousand volumes, and God handed over to the ancients" is also the same truth.

Continue to Hunan. Zuo Zongtang is just a microcosm of Hunan culture and humanity, he represents a large number of elites who take the world as their own responsibility and advocate hard work, such as Zeng Guofan, Hu Linyi and others. The common denominator in these people is:Profound knowledge, pragmatism, taking the world as their own responsibility, and firm willpower

Tao Shu not only relied on his solid knowledge to be admitted to the Jinshi and rose through the ranks, but also participated in the reform of shipping, salt and other fields with a spirit of hard work, and more importantly, he also used his influence to promote and recommend a large number of Hunan people to enter the workplace of the Qing Dynasty and began to influence the fate of the world, such as Wei Yuan, Li Xingyuan and others were deeply influenced by Tao Shu.

Tao Shu's most successful work is the discovery and promotion of Zuo Zongtang。In 1837, when Tao Shu first met Zuo Zongtang at the Lujiang Academy in Liling, he was deeply attracted by the 25-year-old young man in front of him and regarded him as a genius.

After that, Tao Shu carried out a series of boosting actions against Zuo Zongtang, including hiring Zuo Zongtang to teach for the family and marrying in-laws.

Although this historical event is a hundred years ago, we can come to Lujiang Academy to experience and restore the scene at that time, when Zuo Zongtang and Tao Shu sat and talked about the scene in the tourists' brains clearly visible, they praised Tao Shu, a typical scholar elite in ancient China, when they praised the behavior of Zuo Zongtang's scholarly spirit, after going out, I believe that many people's attitude towards learning will definitely change qualitatively.

In places like this, there is also Yuelu Academy in Hunan. When you approach Yuelu Academy, the couplet of "only Chu is talented, Yu Si is prosperous" will first surprise people, after entering, although it has been a thousand years, but the strong academic atmosphere is still the concentration of the year, and it will definitely calm down your impetuous heart.

How to put it,On the surface, you are walking into a tourist attraction and getting in close contact with historical monuments, but in fact, what you are getting close to is knowledge, and it is an attitude towards learning

Like the former residence of Zeng Guofan in Hunan is also worth visiting, when you have close contact with Zeng Zhai, your heart will unconsciously flood with the urge to do a big career, after an in-depth understanding of Zeng Guofan's life, you will definitely put forward stricter requirements for yourself while admiring its spirit and learning.

Why is there a "Zeng Guofan fever" in society, in essence, people want to cultivate themselves through the Xi study of historical figures, after all, Zeng Guofan's achievements are still too far away from all sentient beings.

Also, the reason why the elites in Hunan have emerged in an endless stream in modern times is essentially thatTao Shu, Zuo Zongtang, Zeng Guofan and others changed the temperament of Hunan people, and strongly injected a stubborn and pragmatic culture, and then the passive mass production of elites, which directly changed the trend of history

That's the power of the environmentThose who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, which is what he said.

Therefore, on the road of personal growth, we might as well go out more and take the initiative to connect with these positive energy places, and use the power of the environment to update our values and shape our spiritual strength, especially for teenagers who are in the stage of value shaping, because this is also a kind of learning Xi, and it is 100 times more efficient.

Why do many parents always take the initiative to take their children to places of interest during the holidays, in fact, they are not only to broaden their children's horizons, but also to shape their children's values through the power of the environment and accumulate positive energy for them.

At the same time, the school's research activities are also aimed at this purpose.

Therefore, adults should not only walk more by themselves, but also let children go out more through various opportunities, sometimes,The power of the environment is a hundred times more effective than your language and book sermons。Because, the influence of the environment on people is carried out invisibly.

Today's article is an essay, in the nature of a chat, and the purpose is just to talk about the individual's attitude towards history and how history can influence the individual to the greatest extent.
