Foreword

For thousands of years, mankind has traveled an unusual path: prosperity and decline, glory and pathos, gentle wind and beautiful days and bloody rain, how many things have passed away like smoke, how many things have passed on for hundreds of generations, how many people have gone quietly, how many people have sunk in history... All these have merged into a vast historical river and forged a splendid modern civilization. Every step that mankind has taken is so difficult, and every stage of the development of the world is so memorable and worth pondering!

The philosopher Bacon said: "Reading history makes people wise". Yes, history is cold with experience and true knowledge. Learning history is not only to master a knowledge about the past, but also to obtain 1 kind of capital to show off elegance and profound knowledge, to understand yesterday, and more importantly, to grasp today and create tomorrow, to enrich one's mind and learn valuable life enlightenment.

Throughout the ages, most of the people of insight who have made achievements have been people who have learned from the past and the present: during World War II, the famous British Prime Minister Churchill was familiar with the history of various countries, and his extraordinary knowledge was comparable to that of historians; the great man Mao Zedong had many historical issues. With profound insights, until the last moment of his life, he was still studying history books tirelessly; Marx and Engels made more achievements in the field of history, many of their theories have been regarded as classics by later scholars. Throughout the world today, there is no developed country that does not give historical science a very high status in many disciplines, nor does it give special attention to historical knowledge education in national education.
