Ancient learning and modern application
From ancient times to the present, people's troubles and sorrows have been different. Reading history books is to summarize the wisdom of predecessors and find solutions to current difficulties. Maybe someone thinks how to find it? Times of life are different. Times are different, but the pursuit of things and innovative ideas in human nature are the same, whether ancient people or modern people. Reading doesn't necessarily mean memorizing things by rote. You need to know everything and understand everything. As long as you can gain knowledge from it, combine it with reality, and integrate it, then I think this book is worth reading.
A good book, a classic. I will read it again after a while. Reading it can calm my impetuous heart. 👍👍👍
Good reading, good reading, good reading, good reading.
classic
A classic among classics, you can read it several times to deepen your impression. Indeed, while modern people are anxious and dissatisfied, they might as well read a few meaningful books to enrich their life and thoughts, instead of worrying about everything and doing nothing every day.
A classic work of Chinese studies, highly recommended!
Zizhi Tongjian, a classic of Chinese studies, reading history can make you wise, highly recommended!
This time when I read the book, I read the reviews first. The reviews are very good. Let's take a look.
To understand the changes in the past and present, we must first study history
Everyone must know their own responsibilities and their roles. The monarch must know people well and make good use of them, be virtuous and talented, but not music-savvy. He is prone to get lost in playing with things, and loses everything because of small things. Adults must support themselves independently, make more money, and save money to support their parents in the future.
I feel very good
I'm just more interested in these real histories
