故乡是一个人在祖国和民族里的特定的环境。我国青少年,从记事起就是通过故乡这个窗口来了解祖国和民族的今天与昨天,“生淮南则为桔,生于淮北则为枳”。环境对青少年的成长的影响是巨大的,而且是全面深刻的。一部地方史,实际上就是一部缩小了的、具体化的中国史。通过学习地方史,青少年能受到特别形象、深刻的教育。我们应十分重视这个了解祖国和民族历史的窗口。 Hometown is a particular environment in which one lives in one’s motherland and nation. The young people in our country, from the moment of their memory, learned through this window of their hometowns today and yesterday that “the mother of Huainan is orange, and the mother of orange born in Huaibei.” The impact of the environment on the growth of adolescents is enormous and profound. A local history is actually a reduced and concrete Chinese history. By studying local history, young people can receive special images and profound education. We should attach great importance to this window of understanding of the history of our motherland and our nation.
