Seeking truth and popularizing history

1. Who knows the history of Qingdao Qiuzhen Middle School

Introduction to Qingdao Qiuzhen Middle School

Qingdao Qiuzhen Middle School was opened in 1999** * Approved, a "public and privately-aided" junior high school affiliated to the Qingdao Municipal Education Bureau, which was restructured from Qingdao No. 21 Middle School. The school adheres to the direction of socialist education, comprehensively implements quality education, and takes "teaching people to seek truth and learn to be real people" as its educational purpose, so that students can learn to be a good person, learn to do things, learn to learn, and learn to cooperate.

The school leadership team is united, pragmatic and courageous in pioneering, and the teaching staff is superb. Qingdao's famous education service brand "Love Accompanying You to Grow" was founded by Qiuzhen teachers.

The school has a beautiful environment and advanced educational equipment, which provides good conditions for the all-round development of students. In recent years, the school has been rated as a city's standardized school and has been rated as an excellent school in the supervision and evaluation of school running standards. It has won more than 40 honorary titles at all levels and has won unanimous praise from the society. In recent years, the number of graduates entering regular high schools has been far ahead among all types of junior high schools in the city.

Efforts will be made to build a "truth-seeking" brand. The school will continue to carry forward the spirit of hard work and dedication, use "love to accompany you to grow" and "true feelings to shape the future", and make contributions to sending a large number of outstanding talents to higher-level schools. unremitting efforts.

Overview of Education and Teaching

Since its establishment, Qingdao Qiuzhen Middle School has strived to create a new situation in quality education on the basis of comprehensive and rigorous management. We strive to form an educational synergy between society, family and school, and build a three-dimensional education network. In terms of education management, we focus on educating people and strengthening students' self-education and independent management. In teaching management, we pay close attention to teaching. A new round of curriculum reform at the regular and national levels creates rigorous and efficient teaching methods and a new model of classroom teaching, forming advanced teaching concepts and a curriculum system suitable for the healthy growth of students. The first batch of graduates in 2002 were far ahead among the bureau-affiliated and restructured schools with excellent high school entrance examination results, and received high praise and unanimous praise from students and parents. 2. Solution to the debate, our topic: Jokes do more harm than good to the popularization of history

People understand history mainly through records in historical books. "Joking" is literature and contains many fictional elements. Although joking also involves some historical figures and events, its main function is to provide entertainment and entertainment. How can we take it seriously?

If the "joking" things can be regarded as history, then what else are the history classes in primary and secondary schools doing? Just find someone who can tell stories and jokes to "joke", wouldn't it be enough? University history departments can be disbanded, and history museums can be closed. In Zhang San's mouth, history is like this, and in Li Si's mouth, it becomes that. Human history will become a monster that no one can figure out. 3. How to popularize cultural knowledge

In this regard, the "Outline of the National Cultural Development Plan for the Eleventh Five-Year Plan Period" points out that the basics of humanities and social sciences, literary appreciation, legal system, science and technology and health should be widely carried out in the whole society. Knowledge dissemination work.

Strengthen the construction of village and town culture, community culture, corporate culture, campus culture, military camp culture, and family culture. Implement the "National Art Education Promotion Project" to promote literature, drama, music, dance, folk arts, sculpture, painting, handicrafts, customs, and skills in rural areas, factories, and military camps.

Attach great importance to the popularization of cultural education in the compulsory education stage, so that the majority of primary and secondary school students can master basic cultural knowledge and traditional cultural skills. Increase the proportion of humanities and social science knowledge in national education, and strengthen the popularization of philosophy and social science knowledge.

Strengthen mass cultural creation, give full play to the organizational role of cultural institutions (stations, centers) and other cultural institutions, make full use of traditional festivals, major festivals, square cultural activities and other carriers to carry out singing, reading, calligraphy, recitation, science popularization knowledge and other mass cultural activities. Organize literary and artistic workers to perform at the grassroots level, encourage and support surplus and retired entertainers from professional art troupes to carry out mass literary and artistic guidance or performance activities.

State-owned cultural units must arrange a certain number of free performances and art lectures every year to enrich the cultural life of the masses and improve the level of art appreciation. 4. How to understand what Cui Yongyuan said, "History never has the truth."

Hu Shi once said, "History is a little girl who can be dressed up by others." Croce was even more absolute, "All history is contemporary history." . This actually reflects issues of historical interpretation. I personally believe that history is divided into two levels: subjective and objective. The objective level is various historical materials, ancient books, monuments, remains, etc., which are uninterpreted materials; while the subjective level is the interpretation of these materials by historians. Interpretation is a matter of opinion, which is why there are various results. Therefore, from a subjective level, history may never have the truth, because as long as you can draw a self-consistent and harmonious conclusion based on your existing historical data, then Can't be doubted.

Try to update: Continuing to answer from a historical perspective, I feel that history has always had a tension between seeking truth and applying it to the world. Confucius highly praised Dong Hu’s "calligraphy without concealment. "Writing with a straight line" is a compliment to historians for their pursuit of truth; but when he compiled the "Spring and Autumn", he "tabooed for the venerable and for the relatives". This is actually his "Spring and Autumn writing style" that embodies historical meaning and historical facts. , it is a kind of feedback to the background of the era of "the collapse of rites and the destruction of music, and the rebellion of treacherous ministers and traitors", and expresses a kind of feelings about the world. The two attitudes before and after Confucius seem to be very contradictory, but in fact they are to seek a balance between managing the world and seeking truth. By the Qing Dynasty, the two schools of Song studies and Han studies were criticizing each other. Non-Song scholars believed that they "lost their books and ignored them, and their talks had no roots." It distinguishes the two extremes of managing the world and seeking truth.

Why waste so much time talking about this tension that exists in history? Because all those who write history always write history with the purpose of clarifying the world or seeking truth. Responsible historians who study a certain issue often have to "exhaustively fish out" the historical materials and understand the academic tradition and related anecdotes on this issue. Achieve "knowing people and commenting on the world" and "understanding and sympathizing", thereby maximizing respect for the living historical context composed of historical figures, events, cultural relics, etc., respecting the objective independence of historical materials, and integrating one's own Construction, just like Sima Qian always likes to add a paragraph of praise at the end of his chapter, "Tai Shi Gong said", while Confucius is more reserved, and his construction is euphemistically expressed through "Spring and Autumn Brushwork".

Having said this, it is easy to understand the sentence "There is no truth in history". Historical narratives always have to deal with the tension between seeking truth and managing the world, and historians always have to construct something. "There is no truth in history." It’s just a negative way of saying this dilemma. The German "Orchid School" in the 19th century tried to achieve absolute objectivity by eliminating falsehoods and retaining truth from historical materials, thereby developing history into an empirical science. In the end, it had to be criticized by later generations, because in the final analysis, history is nothing more than a "Humanology".

Recent reading and thinking have made me feel more and more that history cannot be truly restored. History is all constructed, so "history never has the truth." For a historical scene, even if we use the most advanced video recording methods to save its related images, we still cannot restore and reproduce the scene. Because the subtle changes in the psychology and spirit of the historical parties cannot be captured by images. Living people, their daily lives, clothing, food, housing, transportation, weddings and funerals, joys, anger, sorrows and joys are all the objects of historical concern. Even if we use anthropological field methods to observe and feel these objects, what we get is only The scene we constructed. So there is no truth in history, but it is good to live on the road of pursuing the truth.
