Application of historical materials in historical papers

?

Liang Qichao once said:? Historical materials are the organizational cells of history. If they are unavailable or inaccurate, there will be no history repetition. ? It can be seen that historical materials are an important way to approach historical truth. In the process of writing historical papers, the collected historical materials should be extensively excavated and deeply analyzed, so as to give full play to the important role of historical materials in exploring history.

First, the collection of historical materials is generally divided into three types: physical historical materials, written historical materials and oral historical materials. With the further development of society, the existing ways of historical materials are increasingly diversified, and the use of web pages and videos has become an important way to collect historical materials. Historical materials play an important role in historical research. Only by collecting a large number of historical materials can we not write empty articles. First of all, the collection of historical materials should be detailed and specific. With the development of science and technology and the improvement of human consciousness of preserving history, the collection of contemporary materials can be carried out through various channels, such as accumulating historical materials in time through extensive reading, making full use of various network resource platforms of current history, constantly enriching historical knowledge and supplementing historical materials in time.

Secondly, we should be aware of discovery when collecting data. Some people turn a blind eye to the historical materials in front of them, so they can't find the historical materials contained in them. Only by fully exploring the historical information and historical value in historical materials can the exposed cultural relics be internalized into historical evidence. Finally, the collection of historical materials should be objective. When collecting historical materials, researchers should adhere to the principle of objectivity and collect materials extensively. They should not reject materials that are not in line with their own preferences, nor should they cut historical materials to prove their views, ignoring the comprehensiveness of historical materials and the objectivity of paper writing.

Secondly, the selection and application of historical materials is of great significance to the writing of historical papers. Therefore, we should pay attention to the typicality and credibility of historical materials when collecting and selecting them, and combine historical materials with scientific analysis methods and historical viewpoints. First of all, the choice of historical materials should be typical. There are countless historical sites. In the face of vast and complicated historical materials, we should be good at comparing and screening historical materials purposefully and systematically, choose the most typical historical materials to explain historical problems, and choose typical historical materials pertinently around the problems, so as to increase the authenticity and persuasiveness of historical research and make the past history present completely and vividly.

Secondly, the choice of historical materials should be credible. After the extensive collection of materials is completed, it is a big problem to distinguish the authenticity of historical materials. The authenticity of historical materials directly determines the credibility of historical papers, so we should choose historical materials with high credibility as the material for writing papers. Dai Yi, a famous historian, once said: Historical research must be based on the collection, collation, comparison and textual research of historical materials. ? Finally, we should pay attention to combining the use of historical materials with the author's historical views. The writing of the thesis is not a simple accumulation of historical materials, but a combination of historical materials and viewpoints. For the writing of historical papers, historical materials are essential, but without the interpretation of the author's historical views, the value of the whole article will be greatly reduced. Only on the basis of profound analysis and research of historical materials can we better discover, understand and reflect on history.

Third, the interpretation of history from historical materials is an explanatory discipline, and the writing of historical papers is also inseparable from interpretation. Sometimes, historical interpretation must rely on reasonable theoretical assumptions, which determines that historical interpretation must be subjective. Therefore, the interpretation of historical materials should be as follows: first, in the process of narration and interpretation of historical materials, researchers should strive to eliminate their own internal preferences and prejudices and strive to be comprehensive and objective in the presentation of historical knowledge. At the same time, they should also realize the constraints of their own existence, so as not to be influenced by their own values and ensure that they reflect historical facts as close as possible.

Secondly, historians should establish a correct sense of historical direction in the research process. The collection and application of historical materials is important, but historical researchers should also realize that the role of historical materials lies in providing a step to understand history. The understanding of history lies not only in the understanding of historical facts, but also in transcending the limitations of current society and current history on the basis of existing historical materials, and projecting their eyes to the future, because historians can only find the ultimate standard of historical judgment in the future. Finally, we should pay attention to the combination of historical materials and historical theories.

The discovery of increasingly rich historical materials needs scientific theory to guide and analyze. Starting from the historical materials themselves, a new field of historical research is deduced. At the same time, the discovery of new historical materials has also promoted the innovation of historical theory and expanded new historical issues and fields in the process of historical materials analysis and application. It can be said that the expansion of historical materials and the deepening of historical understanding are two inseparable aspects in historical research. The two complement each other and promote the development of history. In a word, historical materials play an important role in the writing of historical papers. The existence of historical materials increases the possibility of restoring historical truth. However, in order to increase the persuasiveness of historical facts, we must strengthen the scientificity and credibility of historical materials, and combine the selection and application of historical materials with scientific theory and analysis, so that historical materials can be continuously explored and enriched, and historical understanding can be deepened.
