What’s the use of studying history?

With a long history of 5,000 years, there are many interesting stories and many experiences summarized by predecessors.

The ancients said, "Never forget the past, be a teacher of the future", "Stay on the mountain, stop the scenery", and "be kind if you are water, and carry things with kindness". These beautiful behaviors all come from the wisdom of your ancestors and the romantic echo of history.

Historian Qian Mu once said: No matter how knowledgeable a person is, if he doesn’t know his own history, he can only be a knowledgeable person at most, and can’t be counted as a knowledgeable China person.

Wu Jun, a computer scientist, said: Learning history well is to be a better person.

Studying history can not only cultivate sentiment and conduct, but also enrich our knowledge, so that we can see clearly the entanglement of human nature, grasp the laws of economy and make correct decisions in today’s complicated and changing world.

This is why many excellent people are all interested in history and can always quote classics in their speeches. A person with a historical view usually has a higher pattern and emotional intelligence.

If you also want to know about history, if you only attend a history class, I recommend you to listen to Ge Jianxiong’s history of China.

He connected all kinds of knowledge in series, which can help you build a model of ancient China and gain a sense of transparency. After that, whether you read history or analyze the present, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Ge Jianxiong, a famous historical geographer, has studied the historical geography of China for more than 40 years.

His position in academic circles at home and abroad is unshakable;

• Zhang Hongjie and Hou Yangfang, doctoral supervisors of Fudan University and well-known historians, are his students.

• One of the first two liberal arts doctors trained in New China;

• By the State Council Academic Degrees Committee and Ministry of Education, he was named "China Doctoral Degree Winner with Outstanding Contributions";

……

Although Ge Jianxiong has made great achievements now, he is actually an older academic youth. When he was young, he never thought that after working in middle school for more than ten years, at the age of 32, he could change his destiny through graduate school.

He was successfully admitted to Fudan University that year, andLearn from Mr. Tan Qixiang, a master of historical geography., the founder of China historical geography.

As Mr. Tan Qixiang’s assistant, Ge Jianxiong has a lot of contact with Taishan Beidou in the academic circle, and he is constantly pursuing the ultimate and seeking the truth. Because of this, he quickly became the leader of the historical geography research center of Fudan University.

On one occasion, the executive vice-president in charge of science and technology of Harvard University visited Fudan University and said, "Fudan is really a world-class major, one is historical geography and the other is mathematics, and there are only two." It serves to show Ge Jianxiong’s achievements in learning for many years.

But in fact, Ge Jianxiong not only studies historical geography, but also is a famous expert in China history, population history and immigration history.

He has written ten books in Yu Ben, published more than 100 papers, led the Fudan academic team to complete the six-volume Population History of China, and found out the "base" of China’s dynasties.

It involves various knowledge backgrounds such as history, geography, demography and institutional history, and has won high praise from academic circles at home and abroad.

Because of Ge Jianxiong’s academic level, there are too many people who want to learn history and geography from him. Just Ge Jianxiong’s scattered speeches on the Internet have attracted a large audience, and Ge Jianxiong’s fans on Weibo are millions.

His lectures off-line are full, and students from major universities are willing to listen to his lectures.

Many programs have also invited him to share his views on history, such as "Let’s Talk" and "China Geographical Names Conference".

Author of Zeng Guofan’s Front and Side, Seven Faces of Daming Dynasty, etc.Hongjie ZhangHe is a student in Ge Jianxiong. When he was studying PhD at Fudan University, what he liked most was Ge Jianxiong’s class. Because Mr. Ge Jianxiong can make the boring content very attractive.

According to Zhang Hongjie’s own statement, he is not a "good student" by the standard of traditional China education. At least since junior high school, he hasn’t listened well. He always listens to the teacher with one ear and reads at his own pace.

But in Mr. Ge’s class, he has never been distracted.

When mentioning Teacher Ge’s lecture, Zhang Hongjie said this: "The content of the course "Theory and Method of Historical Geography" is actually very boring, but he can make it very attractive … The lecture is like flowing water."

Ge Jianxiong’s lectures are interesting because he is a man full of enthusiasm and curiosity about the world.

What he said was either his thoughts on reading thousands of books or his experiences on Wan Li Road.

△ In 2000, Ge Jianxiong, as a member of the 17th Antarctic expedition in China, took a photo with a seal he met on the beach.

He has conducted many academic exchanges in internationally renowned institutions of higher learning such as Harvard University and Cambridge University. In order to study, I also traveled to dozens of countries on seven continents, from Antarctica to the North Pole, from Kilimanjaro, the "king of Africa", to Ali, the "roof of the world".He personally measured the "global vision" with his footprints.

It is precisely because of Ge Jianxiong’s extensive interests and dabbling that he has opened up various academic fields and the barrier between academic and real society.

His history pays attention to both the grand background and the tiny details. He pays attention to the reasons and connections behind the incident, and is good at explaining the theory with concrete examples, and the content expressed is also very lively.

Ge Jianxiong made it clear that all the history we can see today is a selective and conscious record of the historians. Therefore, seeing is not necessarily true, but also thinking about the relationship and reasons behind it.

Therefore, in the course of Ge Jianxiong’s Multi-perspective Interpretation of Ancient China, he selected 50 key words, covering territory, administrative region, population, capital, dynasty, etc., to correct our cognitive deviation of history, restore the true historical appearance, and make us more sensible, distinguish between good and evil, and know how to advance and retreat.

Ge Jianxiong’s body is not only full of academic elegance, but also always pays attention to people’s development and survival as an intellectual.

When he was a librarian at Fudan University, he was not only concerned about whether students could gain something in the library, but also about their experience in the library. Even the small details such as how high the stairway is and whether there will be students hitting their heads are like the back of his hand …

After becoming a representative of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, he often wrote commentary articles and published them in major media all over the country. He called for "China Tourism Day" and suggested strengthening the deliberation and audit of major construction projects of local governments …

He has always believed that academic research should not only be a career in the "ivory tower", but also play a role in the general public. Don’t be a nerd or a hypocrite.

In the course of Ge Jianxiong’s Multi-perspective Interpretation of Ancient China, he also pays attention to people, especially a group of people who represent the times.

There are great people, such as the emperor, the emperor’s father, the queen, well-known people, such as Confucius, Hai Rui, Yan Rong, and people who are rarely known, such as Fusheng and Shaoxing tout Mr. Wu …

These little people, short stories, or a small detail are all slices of our understanding of China’s history, from which we can find many life-long wisdom.

If you want to know the truth under the dusty fog of ancient China, see the essence clearly, improve your cognition, improve your pattern and increase your EQ, then I recommend Ge Jianxiong’s class for you.
