The most prominent feature of history discipline is its large memory. It must be painful to learn by rote. Therefore, students should constantly sum up the tricks of memory in history study. Only in this way can history study be more effective and interesting. Here are some basic memory methods.
(1) concentration method
Concentration method is a process of simplifying the complex, removing the rough and selecting the fine, closely following the key words and compressing the complicated contents. As for the historical significance of the founding of the People's Republic of China, we only need to remember two idioms: "Create a new world" and "take on a new look"; "Sino-British treaty of nanking" remembers "compensation, opening, cession of land, customs duties"; The significance of Nanchang Uprising remembers three "Ones": a flag, a sign and a festival, while the Grand Canal remembers "Forever, Communication, Han and South". You can also condense the text content into several articles through numbers. For example, the "New Culture Movement" can be condensed into "one slogan, two stages, three contents and four representatives". The process of content arrangement is the process of deep processing, which will certainly deepen the impression and improve the memory.
(2) Comparative method
Comparative method is to compare two or more historical events, historical phenomena and historical figures from different angles, find out similarities and differences, grasp characteristics and improve memory. For example, the social nature, revolutionary nature and revolutionary motive force are the same, but the leadership class, guiding ideology, mass base, revolutionary future and revolutionary result are different. Through comparison, we can deeply understand that "the May 4th Movement marked the beginning of China's new-democratic revolution". This comparison should not only be made before and after, between ancient and modern times, but also between China and foreign countries, such as "the comparison between the success or failure of the Reform Movement of 1898 and the Meiji Restoration" and "the comparison between Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean and the opening of new routes". Historical learning must form a sense of comparison, and comparison is the basis of all understanding and thinking.
(3) Graphic method
Teachers often use graphic method in blackboard writing teaching. Using graphic method in history study can simplify the complex, from point to line, from line to surface, concise and vivid, and make memory easier.
For example, Mao Zedong's protracted war theory can be designed like this (omitted):
(4) tabulation method:
Master similar and confusing historical knowledge through tabulation. For example, China's land policies in different periods can be grasped from the aspects of "background, time, content, characteristics and functions". Tabulation is different from comparison. Comparative method is to compare similarities and differences and find out the law; Tabulation is just to compare similar historical knowledge together in order to master it.
(5) historical shorthand:
As long as you use your head, there are rules to follow in the memory of historical years. Or continuous memory, or interval memory, or homophonic memory, or digital overlapping memory, or Chinese and foreign contrast memory and so on. For example, 177 1 year can homonymize "uprising together". For example, "19 19" and "18 18" belong to digital overlap, and so on.
In short, there are many ways to remember history, such as outline signal memory, discussion and debate memory, repeated reading memory and so on. This requires students to sum up carefully in their studies. Memory is the basis of thinking. Improving memory can not only improve thinking ability and enrich imagination, but also enhance self-confidence. Primary and secondary schools are the golden age of memory, and the knowledge they have memorized is the strongest, even they will never forget it. Therefore, students should strengthen their memory, remember happily and acquire rich historical knowledge.
