| At present,the new crown pneumonia epidemic has spread around the world,the struggle in the ideological field between major powers has not stopped,and historical nihilism has taken advantage of the trend to maliciously tamper with and fabricate China’s history in an attempt to disintegrate the mainstream ideology and mislead social cognition.As the forefront of publicizing China’s mainstream ideology,colleges and universities have been even more impacted,and historical nihilism has affected the realization of the goal of educating people by teachers in colleges and universities,the formation of a correct view of history by young students,and the cultivation and output of young talents.In this regard,it is particularly important for colleges and universities to strengthen the education of historical concepts to resist historical nihilism.In June 2021,the General Office of the CPC Central Committee issued the Notice on Carrying Out Publicity and Education on the History of the Party,the History of New China,the History of Reform and Opening Up,and the History of Socialist Development in the Whole Society,which attaches great importance to the "four histories"education and points out the direction for colleges and universities to guide young students to correctly view history.At present,historical nihilism is essentially a negation of the history of the party,the history of new China,the history of reform and opening up,and the history of the development of socialism,that is,the "four histories." Strengthening the education in the"four histories" in colleges and universities is conducive to realizing the goal of cultivating people with virtue,enriching the content of teachers’ teaching and educating people,deepening young students’ understanding and grasp of historical laws,improving their ability to resist historical nihilism,and consolidating the foundation of young talents.This paper first conducts a rational inquiry into the connotation and characteristics of historical nihilism and the "four histories" education,laying a theoretical foundation for the following discussion.Second,we should sort out the evolution of historical nihilism in contemporary Chinese universities and analyze the harms and causes.From the perspectives of the difficulty of controlling the spread of historical nihilism,the lack of pertinence in colleges and universities,and the limited ability of young students to distinguish between right and wrong,the harm of historical nihilism to the campus environment,educational content,and educational objects of contemporary Chinese colleges and universities is analyzed.Third,exploring the "four histories" education in colleges and universities is a powerful weapon to resist historical nihilism.It discusses the necessity of "four histories" education in colleges and universities,and regards historical objectivity,materialistic dialectics,and pluralistic criticism as the principles of historical nihilism in the "four histories" education of colleges and universities.Guiding young students to establish a correct view of history is an important means to implement the cultivation of virtue in colleges and universities,and it is also a good recipe for enhancing the appeal of ideological and political science classes in colleges and universities.Finally,the countermeasures are analyzed from the three main levels of colleges and universities,teachers and students.The school mainly provides specific guidance from the four levels of "four histories" education system,"four histories" campus culture,media publicity and goal-oriented;Teachers mainly fight back against historical nihilism from four levels:following the materialist view of history,enriching the teaching content,innovating teaching methods,and penetrating deeply into emotions;Students take the initiative to receive the "four histories" education from the four levels of exerting subjective initiative,exemplary role,actively participating in practice,and using new online media,so as to improve their consciousness of criticizing historical nihilism.Through the joint efforts of the three main bodies of colleges and universities,the synergistic effect of the "four histories" education conducted by contemporary Colleges and Universities in China to resist historical nihilism will be enhanced,and the spread of historical nihilism in colleges and universities will be prevented. |
