After reading a book, everyone must have a lot of thoughts about life or things. It is time to take time to write down your thoughts after reading it. Do you want to know how to write a review after reading? The following are sample essays (selected 11 essays) that I have collected for everyone. They are for reference only. Let’s take a look together. Thoughts after reading "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" 1
"Zi Zhi Tong Jian" by Sima Guang, a famous politician and historian in the Northern Song Dynasty, is an indispensable and magnificent work. Wang Mingcheng, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" After reading "Tongjian", I thought it was "an indispensable book in the world". I was fortunate enough to read the vernacular version of this book this summer and benefited a lot. The title of the book "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" means "In view of the past, it is necessary to govern the country." It warns future generations by describing stories related to the rise and fall of the country and the rise and fall of the nation, so this book has been valued by rulers of all ages.
There are many vivid and connotative stories in "Zizhi Tongjian". Among them, the story that impressed me most is the story of "King Qi Wei talks about treasures". King Hui of Wei said to King Qi Wei: "Our country There are 12 orbs of one inch in length and width, and one can illuminate 12 carriages in front and behind." After hearing this, King Qi Wei smiled and said: "Although there are no treasures in our country, there are four people, one minister named Shanzi. , he guarded the southern border towns so that no one dared to enter; one minister was named Tian Bin, who guarded the western border, and no one dared to invade with him; the other was named Qian Fu, and he governed Xuzhou in an orderly manner; and One, called Zhongshou, caught all the thieves. Aren't they more dazzling than your pearls?" King Wei Hui felt very ashamed after hearing this.
King Wei Hui loved rare treasures, while King Qi Wei felt that talents were the real treasures. One has "12 orbs one inch long and one inch wide" as its treasure, and the other has "four important ministers of the country" as its treasure. A discerning person can tell the superiority of the two monarchs at a glance. Yes, only a country with talented people will be prosperous and strong, and will be invincible.
There have always been countless stories of attaching importance to talents. In ancient times, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times and respectfully asked Zhuge Liang to come out to lead the army; in the Battle of Guandu, Xu You surrendered to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao rushed out to greet him regardless of his clothes. It goes without saying that various countries and regions now attach great importance to and compete for talents. Hong Kong has a "Excellent Talents Program" to allow people with special skills to obtain Hong Kong status as soon as possible; Canada has skilled immigrants, and people with special skills can be naturalized first, and The rapidly developing motherland is in urgent need of talents. Therefore, like King Qi Wei in the story, we must regard talents as treasures and use various methods and means to gather talents, so that we can create a stronger China. Thoughts after reading Zizhi Tongjian 2
Recently I suddenly became very interested in history. "Zizhi Tongjian" became my reading object, and it allowed me to understand a lot of historical knowledge.
"Zizhi Tongjian" is my country's first chronicle masterpiece. It was organized and compiled by Sima Guang, a famous historian in the Song Dynasty of my country. It records the politics, military, etc. from the Warring States Period to the Five Dynasties in 1362. It is an important historical fact and summarizes the experiences and lessons of the decline of past dynasties. It has high historical value, literary value and collection value.
However, it is very important to know how much history you have. For example, in a normal conversation, when talking about a certain person, compare him with a certain hero or a certain villain in history. You know the historical background of that time but can't say anything, even if others don't notice you, you will feel very embarrassed.
Wang Yuze in our class has a broad understanding of history. He is currently reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" from many history books. Because he is very interested in history, he can often remember and describe it after reading it. , so the author of this poem Yu Qian was from the Ming Dynasty when he wrote "Ode of Lime". Wang Yuze was able to state the historical background of the time very well. He was eloquent and vivid, and combined Yu Qian's quality and the emperor's mediocrity at that time. He spoke so vividly that he didn't want to finish class until the bell rang.
It can be seen that understanding history can improve people's concepts, change a person's image, and change a person's temperament.
Thoughts after reading "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" 3
I have read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" intermittently for more than half a year this year. Now I have seen the period of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty. On the one hand, I cannot understand the terms, place names, and allusions in the classical Chinese text; One aspect is that the character of history is unbearable. History is full of killings, betrayals and conspiracies that make people angry all the time. I can't stay out of it, and I don't have the feeling of "the great river goes eastward" and "the rolling water of the Yangtze River passes eastward". This is human history and the story of our ancestors. Some people, even though they are in the position of princes, are still so greedy and have caused many people to die for their own selfish desires. Some people seek official positions, wealth and honor, and ignore their conscience and cater to their superiors. Anyway, as long as those in power want to mess with someone, no matter whether that person has made a mistake or not, there will always be someone else who can act as a gunman to solve these problems.
I often think about what the environment would have been like for me at that time. I envy the achievements of Huo Qubing, Ban Chao, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu, etc. If I were placed in their What can I do in terms of position? The gap between people in history is that one person can't do one thing, but another person can do it.
History is also full of the brilliance of human nature. Some people will insist on integrity and duty even if they know that they will die, which makes people yearn for them. From the current point of view, society is constantly progressing, but this is not the case from the ancients' point of view, because the morality of society will not improve with the advancement of science and technology, and the social productivity of the ancients has stagnated for a long time, especially in China. We have already reached a very high level in various technologies, so we cannot see the progress of society. Rather, sometimes peace turns to war, and people turn from living and working in peace and contentment to people living in poverty. What is the reason for this? Is it a simple Malthusian trap? There are still mistakes by those in power, premeditation by some conspirators, and the darkness of human nature.
The world belongs to the world and everyone belongs to the world. The general environment of society will eventually affect everyone. We should strengthen ourselves and cannot let the selfish interests of some people make history enter the quagmire of darkness again. Thoughts after reading Zizhi Tongjian 4
Ha! I have countless books! The most classic among them is "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"! It is a chronological history book compiled by the famous Northern Song Dynasty historian Sima Guang and his assistant Liu Shu based on a large amount of historical materials. The whole book records historical events in chronological order, starting from the 23rd year of King Weilie of the Zhou Dynasty to the later Zhou Dynasty. The history of King Sejong's reign is 1362 years.
My favorite piece of history is called "Xiao He Chasing Han Xin Under the Moon". It tells the story of Xiao He who believed that Han Xin was a talented general and would be very helpful to the country in the future. So when Han Xin escaped, Xiao was too late to tell him. Liu Bang, the king of Han, reported that he chased after Han Xin. Someone reported to the king of Han: "Prime Minister Xiao He ran away! The king of Han was furious. Later Xiao He came back. Liu Bang asked Xiao He why he ran away. Xiao He said that he went after Han Xin. Liu Bang asked again, Xiao He Why are you chasing Han Xin? There are more than a dozen escaped generals. Why do you chase Han Xin? To conquer the world with Xiang Yu, no one can plan big things together except Han Xin. Now it just depends on what the king decides! "The King of Han wanted to develop to the east, so he immediately appointed Han Xin as a general.
Well, it can be seen from this incident that a good general needs Bole. Xiao He has a strong discovery ability and can discover Han Xin in time. The ability of soldiers to fight, and at the same time, Liu Bang promptly adopted Xiao He's suggestions, so Liu Bang could achieve his imperial career and become the emperor, otherwise history would have to be rewritten!

"Zi Zhi" "Tongjian", referred to as "Tongjian", is a multi-volume chronicle edited by Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has 294 volumes and took 19 years to complete. It was written in the third year of the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Five Dynasties (403 BC) and ended in the sixth year of Emperor Xiande's reign in the Five Dynasties (959 AD) when he conquered Huainan. It covers the history of 16 dynasties and 1326 years. It is the first chronological general history of China in China. It occupies a very important position in official history books.
Sima Guang was good at history from his childhood. After becoming an official, he compiled the historical events of the Warring States and Qin Dynasty into eight volumes and submitted them to Song Yingzong, which was very popular. Yingzong appreciated it and ordered him to continue compiling it.
A special historical bureau was set up for this purpose, and he selected his own assistants. He selected Liu Shu, Fan Zuyu and Liu Tong as his main assistants. At that time, the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty was relatively stable, and the government had many books in its collection, which they could refer to at will.
The history of the middle and late Tang Dynasty in "Zizhi Tongjian" is very detailed. There are more than 60 chapters, and you can see how a large empire slowly turned into a situation of disintegrated vassal towns. Starting from Daizong's laissez-faire, to Tang Dezong's helplessness, to Xianzong and Wuzong's encouragement, to Zhaozong's letting others do what they want. Even if there are prime ministers like Lu Zhi and Li Deyu, they can only cheer up for a while, but cannot change the normal state of historical changes.
When the separatist forces are strong, they have to move slowly. Tang Dezong began to use force to reduce the vassal state, which led to rebellion by Li Xilie, Tian Yue, Wang Wujun, Li Na and others. Later, he changed his attitude and tolerated the feudal town blindly. At the beginning of Tang Dezong's accession to the throne, he was ambitious, striving for rejuvenation and implementing reforms. But when there is a setback, these measures disappear. Therefore, the Master said: "You have not changed your father's ways for three years, which can be called filial piety." The same is true for politics. You are not familiar with the situation at the beginning, and it takes a period of observation before you can take effective measures.
This is a great historical work comparable to "Historical Records". For thousands of years, many emperors, wise ministers and great scholars have frequently annotated it, which shows that it occupies a pivotal position in the field of history. Come and take a look, everyone! Thoughts after reading "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" 6
I recently read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and found an interesting story. It tells that in the 17th year of Jian'an in the late Han Dynasty, Cao Cao conquered Guanzhong, leaving his eldest son Cao Pi to guard Yecheng, and Let the counselor Cheng Yu assist you, and let Guoyuan be appointed as the governor of the residence, in charge of the stay-at-home affairs. After the large army marched westward, Tian Yin and Subo rebelled in Hejian - today's Hejian City, famous for its donkey meat burning. Cao Pi wanted to go on an expedition himself, but Cheng Yu dissuaded him, saying that they were just a ragtag group of people and there was no need to go to war, so he sent General Jia Xin to quell the rebellion. Sure enough, the leaders Tian Yin and Sub Bo were quickly killed, and more than a thousand people surrendered. Some people advocate killing all these people as a warning to others. The basis is: "Those who surrender after Duke (Cao Cao) is surrounded by old laws will not be pardoned." Cheng Yu and Guoyuan disagreed. Cheng Yu said: "This is a time of turmoil. The time is right. We have decided not to punish him today; even if we punish him, we should report him first." So he asked Cao Cao for instructions. As expected, Cao Cao refused to kill him and appreciated Cheng Yu's actions. The benevolence of Cheng Yu and Guo Yuan saved the lives of more than a thousand people.
When Guoyuan wrote the report of victory, the number of beheadings was exactly the same as the number reported. Cao Cao was very surprised, because the old practice was to exaggerate the number and use one as ten, that is to say, behead one and write ten in the book. Cao Cao then asked Guoyuan why he did this. Guoyuan said: "When conquering foreign enemies, exaggerating the number of beheadings and exaggerating the results can scare the people and demonstrate martial arts. However, Hejian is within our territory, and the people are our own subjects. Tian Yin and others rebelled, although Defeating them is meritorious, but I feel ashamed privately." Cao Cao was very happy and promoted Guoyuan to the position of prefect of Wei County.
This story not only shows that the ancients also knew that there is a difference between internal and external wars, and that civil war is a shame. Secondly, it also explained a question I had for many years. That is: "Story: The document that broke the thief, one is divided into ten;"
I used to read history books, and it was always strange. For example, in the Battle of Changping, the Qin army killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers in a trap. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu killed 200,000 Qin troops in a trap. I always wonder, can these hundreds of thousands of people be killed? Now after reading this story, it turns out that one is equal to ten. At a discount, 40,000 people were killed, and the heads were rolling in. It was also shocking.
Before the Warring States Period, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the vassal states fought with some benevolence and righteousness. When counting military merits, they recorded merits according to human ears. This is called? . When Shang Yang's reforms shocked the world, he used human heads to record merits, and promoted one noble to another after killing one person. From then on, etiquette and music were completely destroyed. Heads are rare, so it often happens that good people are killed to take credit. Therefore, when counting heads, the heads of women and children are often found. It is not good to kill too many people. Therefore, the convention of counting one to ten emerged and has been used to this day. Qing Dynasty. I believe this story. Therefore, the number of enemies annihilated written by the victor must be discounted. It depends on your judgment ability to kill more or less.
Even today, the official prefers to report good news rather than bad news. On the contrary, some unofficial histories are more credible.
Thoughts after reading "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" 7
Recently I read a vernacular version of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", and as the reading progressed, I felt more and more that every word in this book was precious.
"Zizhi Tongjian" was compiled by Sima Guang, a multi-disciplinary generalist in the Northern Song Dynasty, who spent 19 years and spanned 16 dynasties from 403 BC to 959 AD. "Good things can be the law, "Evil can be a lesson".
In 209 BC, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang’s uprising fired the first shot against the violent Qin Dynasty, but Chen Sheng was killed in less than half a year. When Sima Guang evaluated the reasons for the failure, he analyzed that firstly, Chen Sheng was anxious to become king when the time was not ripe, and then he killed his acquaintances indiscriminately and got close to those who were harsh supervisors. If he did, he would arrest and punish them, causing the generals and friends not to be close to him.
Chu King Han Xin made Liu Bang uneasy because of his excessive power, so he used a trick to capture Han Xin and made him a Marquis of Huaiyin without real power. Liu Bang asked Han Xin how many troops he could bring, and Han Xin said: "Your Majesty, you can only bring one hundred thousand." He said that the more troops he could bring, the better. Liu Bang laughed at him and said, "The more, the better. Then why are you taken by me?" Where to catch him?" Han Xin said: "Your Majesty, you don't know how to lead troops, but you are good at leading generals."
In 265 BC, the State of Qin sent troops to attack the State of Zhao. The State of Zhao asked the State of Qi for help. The Qi people asked the Queen Mother Zhao's youngest son, Chang'an Jun, to be a hostage before they would send troops. The Queen Mother was reluctant and did not agree. Chulong persuaded: "Why do the king's sons have no good results after being granted the title of nobility? Because they have rich salaries, but they have not sweated for the country, and their status is high, but they have not made merit for the country. Now you raise the status of Chang'an Jun, But if you don't let him serve the country more while you are still here, if you unfortunately die, why will Lord Chang'an stay in Zhao?" After hearing this, Queen Mother Zhao agreed to Lord Chang'an's request to be a hostage. According to "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the Crown Prince of Wu went to Beijing to meet with the Crown Prince and drank and gambled with the Crown Prince. Because of his disrespectful attitude in gambling and playing chess, the Crown Prince smashed him to death with a chess board. The imperial court sent Prince Wu back to Wu. King Wu Liu Bi said angrily: "The whole world belongs to the Liu family. If he dies in Chang'an, he can be buried in Chang'an. Why send him back?" He was sent back and buried in Chang'an. The pain of losing his son eventually led King Wu to provoke the Seven Kings Rebellion.
"Zizhi Tongjian" is a masterpiece, focusing on politics, military and ethnic relations, as well as economics, culture and evaluation of historical figures. Thoughts after reading Zizhi Tongjian 8
The founder of the chronicle style, Zizhi Tongjian is a must-read when reading history. Although I just read Zizhi Tongjian in one gulp. But it made me feel what it means to be in love. Opening each chapter is like unfolding a thousand-year-old historical picture, with bright colors and vivid characters, making people feel waves of shock and enlightenment-like excitement.
"Zizhi Tongjian" is a chronicle history book of more than 3 million words compiled by Sima Guang, a politician and historian of the Northern Song Dynasty, and others, which took 19 years to complete. It begins with the division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and ends with Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, wearing a yellow robe. It records the history from the 23rd year of King Weilie of Zhou Dynasty (403 BC) to the 6th year of Zhou Xiande (959 AD) after the Five Dynasties. It narrates the 1362-year history of the Warring States, Qin, Western Han, Eastern Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It records the politics, military, diplomacy, culture, economy, thought, important figures and major events during the period. It provides a more objective description of the rise, fall and replacement of dynasties; it analyzes and summarizes the good and evil of human nature and the gains and losses of strategies, creating the first chronicle masterpiece in history.
"Zi Zhi Tong Jian" has clear narrative structure and concise language. For example, Guo Jia's theory of ten victories and ten defeats, Shang Yang's reform, Zhao Wuling's king Hu Fu riding and shooting, Liu Xiu's great victory in Kunyang, Xie An's comeback, Li Jing's great defeat of the Turks, etc., the narratives are real and vivid. The stories of Xiao Gui, Cao Sui, Fang Mou and Du Duan, and Zhang Xun guarding the city are all exquisitely told. Many famous aphorisms come from "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", such as, "I don't want to get money without doing anything," "A poor family misses a good wife, and a country in chaos misses a good general." "Talent is the endowment of virtue, and virtue is the endowment of talent." "Zizhi Tongjian" is a rare and good book. It helps clarify this historical context and can enlarge the reader's life pattern.
Chairman Mao Zedong commented on "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" this way: "Although the stance and views are those of the feudal ruling class, the narrative is legal and the rise and fall of past dynasties is clear from the beginning to the end. We can learn from it." Qian Mu called it "the book of emperors, the book of power, and the book of survival." "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is not only a precious treasure of the Chinese nation, but also a unique treasure for all mankind.
"Zizhi Tongjian" tells a thousand-year history, which is an important microcosm in the long history of China. The seven heroes compete for hegemony, and the clouds are treacherous; the Qin dominates the six kingdoms, and they control each other vertically and horizontally; the Han Dynasty establishes the country, with a golden war and an iron horse; the Three Kingdoms are in turmoil, and the world returns to the Jin Dynasty; the rebellion of the eight kings causes disasters everywhere; the Sui Dynasty falls and the Tang Dynasty rises, China is prosperous; the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the wolf Benshutu; Chenqiao mutiny, Song Dynasty and later Zhou Dynasty. Throughout the history of China, it is a history of war. Foreign troubles are all caused by internal strife, causing the Chinese people to experience disasters and hardships. We should learn the painful lessons of history.
The Chinese history is magnificent, the Chinese culture is broad and profound, and its rich heritage is unique in the world. If you read more history, you will be able to perceive the majesty of history and the unstoppable trend of history. We must follow the trend of history, have a sense of crisis, have feelings for our family and country, and have an overall view. Everything is based on national development. Everything is based on national interests. Safeguarding national security and interests is the responsibility of all our people. Cherish peace, seize the period of strategic opportunities for national development, stick to their respective posts, fulfill their duties, and seize the day. Make our country stronger and richer. Strive to realize the great dream of national rejuvenation! Thoughts after reading "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" 9
"Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is a multi-volume chronological history book edited by Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has 294 volumes and took 19 years to complete. It mainly uses time as the outline and events as the purpose. It starts from the 23rd year of King Weilie of Zhou Dynasty to the sixth year of Zhou Shizong's Xiande expedition to Zhunnan after the Five Dynasties, covering the history of 16 dynasties and 1362 years.
There are countless stories in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", each of which is wonderful, but my favorite is "Tao Kan Cherishes Time".
Those who can achieve great things in ancient and modern times must cherish time like gold and be diligent and unremitting. Tao Kan, the famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is such a person. He once said to people: "A sage like Dayu cherished every inch of his life. Ordinary people like us should cherish every minute of our time. We must not wander around and get drunk all day long. Living is of no use to the world. After death, we cannot spread our name to the world." Future generations, doing this is completely self-defeating." Tao Kan was born in Tuxing. His father was General Yang Wu of the Wu Kingdom. He died early. After the defeat of the Wu Kingdom, Tao Kan moved from Poyang to Lujiang, and his family life has always been very poor. But Tao Kan cherished his time and worked hard to improve himself. Because of this, Tao Kan was promoted by Fan Kui, a famous scholar at the time, and became the prefect of Jiangxia. Later, because of his contribution to catching the rebel Wang Dun and quelling the Guangzhou rebellion, he was named Chaisang Hou, with a settlement of 4,000 households. He held the positions of governor of Jing, Yong, Yi, and Liangzhou and general of the expedition to the west.
Tao Kan's position was high, but he did not covet a comfortable and luxurious life like most bureaucrats at the time. Instead, he was diligent and tireless in his duties.
I couldn’t put it down, the book "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". Tao Kan, from a humble official, relied on his noble ethics and diligent character to manage the army for forty-one years and established a How admirable the achievements that were admired by the people at that time and later generations! I also want to learn from Tao Kan’s character of cherishing time and his spirit of studying hard. Thoughts after reading Zizhi Tongjian 10
Some time ago, I saw a video on the Internet that was very emotional. A girl in her twenties had a tumor on her body. It was as if the whole world suddenly collapsed. While shouting "Go away! Mr. Cancer", millions of netizens also lamented and secretly decided to live a healthy life and stay away from illness. Life seems to be like this. We often find our own shadow in other people's tragedies. Fortunately, it's not too late to make amends. This is true for people today, and the ancients were no exception. I think the "Zizhi Tongjian" compiled by Sima Guang of the Song Dynasty should be based on the same principle. It is called "Zi Zhi". It uses the past to draw lessons from the present, which is actually great wisdom.
China has a very long history, so all dynasties have a tradition of compiling history books. The existing official history books have far-reaching influence, such as "Historical Records", "Hanshu" and "Zizhi Tongjian" should be They can all be arranged in order.
However, compared with other official history books, "Zizhi Tongjian" has many "different" features. Different from the biographical style of "Historical Records" and "Hanshu", "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is a chronological history book with time as the line, "running through the present and ancient times, from the late Zhou Dynasty to the Five Dynasties." This book is based on history Seek "common" thinking to seek a kind of development.
Regarding the creative intention of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", the author Sima Guang once made a very clear explanation: "Each time when people moved or consolidated, there were so many texts that ordinary people could not read them all. As for the master, there are so many things happening every day, so why bother to read them all? The ministers often do not write their own work, but want to cut out the redundant details, and summarize the secrets, which are related to the rise and fall of the country and the interests of the people. Good things can be used as laws, and bad things can be used as warnings. "It can be seen that Sima Guang's purpose of compiling history is very clear, and because of this, in the book, the author embodies a clear idea of ??seeking common ground in history when discussing the rise and fall of history, focusing on summarizing. The experience of the rise and fall of history is related to why the Qin Dynasty fell, why the Han Dynasty prospered, why the Sui Dynasty died, and how the Tang Dynasty prospered. It takes historical events as the axis and deeply analyzes the operating laws behind history to guide the political practice at that time.
People often say "take history as a mirror". This is not unreasonable. The development of history is a reflection of the reality of the times over a period of time. It is also the result of human planning and operation. Only by knowing the rise and fall of a country can we learn from the decline of the country. Learn lessons from history, gain experience from the pride of prosperity, make up for the shortcomings of practice, make up for lost time, and maintain vitality forever.
Historical events and characters are like this, and we are the same today. After several dynasties, we can still read the stories in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", which is not only to understand history, but also to learn about history. Find wisdom in thought-provoking stories. Thoughts after reading "Zizhi Tongjian" 11
I have long heard that "Zizhi Tongjian" is a good book and worth reading. A few days ago, I came across this book at a friend's house. After asking for permission from my friend, I I took it home and read it.
"Zizhi Tongjian" was compiled by Sima Guang, a historian in the Northern Song Dynasty. This book records in detail the major historical events that occurred in various dynasties during a period of 1,360 years from 403 BC to 959 AD. It is a great work in Chinese history and has been highly praised by politicians of all ages.
The book focuses on recording the ups and downs of countless political figures in the past dynasties, the changes in the palace, and the beginning and end of major wars. However, after reading this book, what touched me the most was every bloody war contained in the book. While reading and savoring it carefully, I felt as if I was immersed in it, as if I could hear the sound of drums and horns on the ancient battlefield, the sounds of soldiers fighting and groaning, and of course the sighs of the common people.
Every war has a so-called interface and reason, such as quelling rebellion, clearing the emperor's side, regaining lost territory, etc. However, no matter how high-sounding the reason is, it cannot conceal those ambitions The real purpose of ambitious politicians is to make their dominance more stable. In this way, countless soldiers and civilians who spilled their blood on the battlefield became victims of every war. As the saying goes: One general makes thousands of bones dry up.
This reminds me of several wars led by individual Western countries in recent years, such as the Gulf War, the Iraq War, and the Yugoslav War.
Different from ancient wars, modern wars mainly use high-tech and cutting-edge weapons, and the casualty rate of soldiers is low. However, the civilians are still the ones who suffer the most.
On the TV screen, when we see extremely lethal bombs falling on civilian areas, how many innocent civilians are killed, and those helpless women and The pitiful, helpless and angry eyes of children and the elderly clearly tell us that they long for peace. However, in the face of a cruel and bloody war, under the shroud of artillery fire and gunpowder smoke, their His eyes and calls seemed so pale and feeble.
Because of the war, countless civilians died, countless families were separated, countless children became orphans, and countless people became refugees... Thinking of this, we must not only angrily ask those who Political giants who launch wars for various reasons. What would you think if your relatives were among these people? When you sit at the celebration banquet and share the joy of victory, have you ever thought about those who lost their homes and loved ones because of the war?
Of course, from ancient times to the present, those national heroes who have heroically sacrificed their lives in just wars to safeguard national dignity and territorial integrity and those counselors who have made strategic plans are worthy of praise and praise, and their contributions are indispensable, but We cannot ignore or forget those righteous people who work hard for world peace.
Just imagine, if in every corner of our world family, the day comes when swords are forged into plowshares and there is never any smoke of war, and all human beings can live together in unity, joy, and harmony, we*** The same home - the earth will be so beautiful.
I think that although the author lists countless war examples in the book, his ultimate goal is not to teach people how to be enemies with each other, but the most important thing is to let future generations learn the lessons of history and achieve the goal of setting a precedent. The purpose is to draw lessons from past mistakes!
In the face of war, I am helpless. However, I would like to call loudly together with all those who are committed to world peace: stay away from war and cherish peace!
