Introduction to Historical Thinking in Senior High School Compulsory 2
Before the birth of Marxist history, history was generally defined in a broad sense, that is, the definition of history was often the same as that of history, and few people made a strict conceptual distinction between the two. "History" and "history" in English are the same word: history.
According to the fourth edition of Oxford Advanced English-Chinese Learning Dictionary, the first meaning of history refers to "history"-the study of past events; The second meaning is "history"-a thing of the past, especially a recognized thing in the overall sense; The third meaning actually comes from the first meaning-a systematic description of past events. So "history" and "history" are its original meanings. In the definition or explanation of history by western historians, what history refers to specifically generally depends on the specific text context.
History is a form of knowledge in which human beings screen and combine their own historical materials. History is the concept of dynamic space in static time. History is an organic combination of history, science, philosophy, humanities and their time and space.
