A summary of a middle-aged programmer's study of modern Chinese history

Preface

The reason for writing this topic , It's also for you to take Professor Cao's history class before you make up , Casually deal with the regret of historical summary homework .
at that time , It took months , Go to class every weekend , After class , The professor asked each student , Write a summary , I sometimes catch up with company projects on weekends , Usually very busy , Just lower the priority of this matter , In the end, they are all written casually .
Now there will be some time later , Think carefully , Write this again , Although my writing is poor , But the content is true and profound , It should bring some inspiration to people who read carefully or in the same situation .

Programmers should study history carefully

Some interesting statements

About people 、 A term for people and things
Research on the relationship between people who are good at growing up in the Chinese nation ： For example, a large amount of knowledge accumulated over 5000 years is reflected , Tao Te Ching, etc
Research on the relationship between people and things in the western world ： For example, due to the rise of the industrial revolution , Sweeping the whole western world

Philosophical theory

Philosophy is a Western term , If we insist that China has philosophy , That should be history
Explain some things in China from a philosophical perspective , In fact, there are problems , At the same time, philosophy itself is idealistic 、 Materialism also argues endlessly
Or something A tall saying , Get rid of idealism 、 Materialistic level , Better . Some things have been talked too much , A little clear about the meaning of empty talk harming the country

prejudice

However, most programmers are science students , Philosophy of Western knowledge 、 These theoretical systems of logic have a deep influence
Many people have always been concerned about how to do things , Instead of being a person , In the wind of the times , It's easier to ignore these people's relationships .
Especially in China , The methodology of doing things first is of Chinese characteristics , I believe that many programmers don't like dealing with people , This kind of psychology will suffer a lot , Even those who like to deal with people , Maybe you don't have to be a person .

Programmers It also belongs to the group of science and Engineering , In real life, I know people who experience prejudice , Also like ： Other disciplines are scum , mathematics 、 Physics is the real knowledge .

The reason why programmers learn history

Because I am a programmer myself , A senior yard farmer who has worked for more than ten years , I have a deep understanding of programmers , Especially skilled in technology , Programmers without literary hobbies , It's easier to form your own prejudice .

Programmers have good abstract ability , But if you only focus on things , Don't pay attention to people , This powerful abstraction ability can't help you become better , Don't solidify or exclude other theories on the relationship with people 、 Learn from different theories , It can better build its own exclusive abstract relationship model between people

By learning history , See a large number of cases , Just understand , In China, , The knowledge of liberal arts is not inferior to that of Science , Feel your wrong perception , And stubborn thinking , Is so narrow .

According to the above , I think programmers should learn history .

Learning history is the first step in modern Chinese history

What is history

The first is to figure out what is “ history ”, Maybe everyone will say , History is what happened in the past , There are so many discussions about history 、
controversy 、 Even beyond the scope of general discourse , And “ mandatory ”, And war 、
Life is connected with persecution , obviously “ history ” It's not simple “ What happened in the past ”

What are the classifications of history

General history 、 Dynastic history 、 Party History 、 Legal history 、 Modern history
Give a few simple expansion
General history ： A history book that consistently describes the historical facts of various eras is called general history
Dynastic history ： A historical book or style of historical books that records the history of a certain period or dynasty
Modern Chinese history ： This means 1840 year -1949 year Multiple periods are coherent Combine , A little like general history , But it's different

write history

The first thing in every dynasty , Can write history , By modifying history , Reflect orthodoxy , Its purpose is to rule for itself , Some real events are often modified , beautify . So some history , Many people don't believe , Compiling history is an important reason

The significance of modern Chinese history

The modern history of China is the closest history to our present life , The closer the time is, the more real ,
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty GDP World first , And it is the second to The sum of the ninth . But less than a hundred years , From the strongest to the decline , Although the standard modern history of China is from 1840 Year begins , Not from Qianlong , yes , We can see the moment when the Chinese nation is strong ： There are many cases , There are also many heroes , He （ she ） Their diaries or records of historical events are of great learning and reference value

Study modern Chinese history

Fate

Learning modern Chinese history is also an opportunity , My company （ Vipshop ）, Set up a series of humanities courses
1、 Invited A historical researcher of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Professor Ma Yong I told you about the afternoon The historical context of the thirteen elements in Guangzhou
2、 Invited Sun Yat-sen University Professor of history Cao Tianzhong Told us 9 lesson , Each class is an afternoon , Explain the whole modern history of China one by one

Learning methods

The structural method of general history

Five ways : Longitudinal connection 、 Cross 、 bypass 、 Name and reality （ Theory and practice , Study and health Relationship ）、 Will be able to （ Chinese and Western ）”
Here is the most commonly used one ：
“ Longitudinal connection ”: Modern China is a transitional social form ; The factors of modernization sprouted in the late feudal society ; Semi colonial and semi feudal society ; On the stage of new democracy ; The primary stage of socialism in China

Two sided method

In specific historical events, from a historical perspective Look at the problem
Looking at specific historical events from the current perspective Look at the problem
Combine the two ways ( There was a good example , Because it involves keywords , The audit failed , Delete only ）

Read the diary of historical figures

Zeng Guopan's diary ：
Zeng Guopan was called perfect man in history , Learn the way of saints , Everyday diary is for introspection , So his diary is more authentic , At the same time, he is also a person of non learning value

Yan Xishan's diary ：
This is the History Department of Sun Yat sen University Professor Cao The recommended , Yan Xishan is smart , His diary records people's hearts , It's Yan Xishan's style to figure out other people's thoughts , He likes to record and reflect through diary （ At present, this diary , I can't find it on wechat reading Audible version , Unfortunately, I haven't read this book for the time being ）

Have time to read the diaries of the above two , Use the two-sided method to think , I believe there will be some gains

The context of modern Chinese history

The context of modern history is actually very much in the outside world , But today's theme is not to develop a complete context , Through the method of pyramid principle , I reduced the whole vein to three （ The end of feudal society 、 The painful process in the middle 、 The Chinese people have finally become masters ）：

The Qing Dynasty declined

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty GDP World first , And it is the second to The sum of the ninth . But less than a hundred years , From the strongest to the decline , What happened to the world , Why did the Chinese nation decline , The western world has become so powerful .

Hundred years of suffering

from 1840 Year to 1949 year , Chinese people are really suffering , Through a hundred years of suffering , More and more excellent Chinese people are sober

The Chinese people stand up

1949 In, the people's Republic of China was founded , Since then, the Chinese people have stood up

Conclusion

The title is middle-aged programmers learning Chinese modern history
In fact, it is also an action to feel the midlife crisis , Think about the future , Think about yourself
In the process of learning history , Help yourself figure out something you can't figure out , This is very important , Most middle-aged people , Have certain values 、 World view 、 And other structural thinking , To solve all kinds of problems （ The book "fast and slow" well reflects these principles ）
Especially when you have some life experience , Go to study history again , It's different from the previous reading , The history of learning , It's totally two things .
Thank you for watching .
