Book Review
History is as changeable as life, but it is also constantly repeating some immutable law. It takes human activities as its specific object. It has a long history of thinking and vision. It has a variety of forms and is fascinating!
With witty and humorous sentences, witty and wise writing style and ingenious ideas, this book shows the vast volume of human beings from the stage of history to the era of science. In the reading of the first two chapters, I learned that human beings stand out from animals. This is the so-called "primitive man", which is an ugly, naked mammal. When hungry, they eat raw leaves and roots of plants, steal birds' eggs and feed their children. Fortunately, they can catch a squirrel, a wild dog or a mouse to eat and peel them alive. Sneak around in the jungle in the daytime looking for food, and hide in tree holes at night. The summer is scorched by the scorching sun, and the winter is cold and hungry. They live and die in fear and pain. Human beings have gone through such hardships in order to survive. Although the reality is cruel, human beings have not been defeated by him, but have overcome it and developed forward. I can't help exclaiming that only the human beings with strong will can reach the other side of success in the face of difficulties and hardships without flinching or giving up. In our life and study, we should also carry forward the spirit of overcoming difficulties, facing difficulties and being brave!
The Story of Mankind tells the history of mankind, but it is the history of civilization evolution seen from the side. The barbaric Romans destroyed the Greek civilization, but were conquered by its spirit, and tried to spread it to the wider world. After the arrival of the Middle Ages, people's thoughts were completely controlled by religion for a thousand years, and a new civilization was conceived, which led to the Renaissance. People began to pursue freedom, equality, fraternity, and fought for it, and sacrificed their lives. At that time, the concept of nation and country was gradually formed, so the European war with a longer duration and a wider scope broke out. The war reached the point where everyone realized that Europe would perish if it did not stop. The sober people signed the "Westphalia Pact", and the modern European national territory was basically formed. Of course, people at this time also need to experience the baptism of two world wars. With the power of science and technology, the laboring masses are gradually moving towards a more civilized era under the leadership of social elites with new ideas in their heads.
History is a wheel of continuous progress, constantly changing, but constantly repeating. From chaos to order, and then to chaos... keep repeating. After a long history, mankind finally said goodbye to the ignorant age of cultural backwardness, entered the era of civilization, developed into the 21st century, and finally became the master of the earth. Throughout the five thousand years of China, the most impressive thing for me is the time when Qin Shihuang unified the six countries. Although Qin Shihuang was a feudal autocratic and centralized monarch, he was also a legendary and epoch-making figure. Under his leadership, the Qin Dynasty unified the characters, weights and measures, and coins. After unifying the six countries of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei, it set up the strict laws of Qin, established the Great Qin State in the east of Asia through reform, laid the basic pattern of China's political system for more than two thousand years, had a profound impact on the history of China and the world, and made contributions to the glory of the Chinese nation. I think that the development and progress of human history can not be separated from the hard work and efforts of many people, and some people have even sacrificed their lives. When we enjoy today's beautiful life, we should thank others for their selfless contributions. We should not just do what we want for our own sake, but work together to promote human progress!
