Why is the world famous book War and Peace instructive and what is its historical background?
"War and Peace" does not describe social changes a year or a few years later. Its educational significance lies in including all the social history of Russia at the beginning of19th century. Tolstoy's opportunity to write War and Peace is to explore the way out of Russian society, but I have always felt that this view is too one-sided. In my opinion, a truly great novel should be inclusive and not limited to a small purpose. From War and Peace, we can learn a lot, including philosophy, history, politics, economy, military science and even religious teachings.

From the educational point of view, War and Peace has more than 500 roles, from emperors and nobles to soldiers and civilians. Andre who insists on himself, Pierre who dares to explore, Kutuzov who is patriotic for the people ... They are all one of many roles, but their personal brilliance cannot be ignored. From the ideological content, War and Peace covers history, philosophy, marriage, religion and other aspects, and brilliantly integrates many factors. "War and Peace" can be said to be a historical masterpiece, and it is a social encyclopedia describing Russia at the beginning of the19th century.

Historical background of War and Peace: First of all, the four families mentioned in the book represent the four big noble in that period. Greedy, shameless and irresponsible Kulagin family; Rostovs are full of joy, truth and simplicity; The Paul Konski family who are upright and dedicated to serving the country; And the patriotic Bezukhov family. Starting with four families and their members, this book describes the history of Russia in that period. Secondly, its historicity lies in its description of the war. In the context of the Napoleonic Wars, Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor and Russia was defeated. During this period, various battles and events, such as the Battle of Shenjerborn, the Moscow fire and the Battle of Tarudino, highly restored the history at that time, opened the eyes of readers and left endless memories.

Lev tolstoy advocated national consciousness and national spirit throughout his book War and Peace, trying to highlight the greatness of people's strength and build a world of truth, goodness and beauty. It can even be said that the humanitarianism and fraternity shown in War and Peace are an endless spiritual wealth left to future generations.
