History and literature were both important parts of human civilization, but the research objects and methods of the two were different. History mainly studies the past, including political, social, cultural, economic and other aspects of events and people to explore the development and evolution of human society. The study of history usually required the use of knowledge and methods from various disciplines such as history, sociology, geography, and folklore. Literature mainly studied the expression and creation of human language, art, thoughts, and other aspects, including novels, poems, plays, essays, and many other literary forms. The study of literature usually required the use of knowledge and methods from various disciplines such as language, psychology, and philosophy. Although the objects and methods of study of history and literature were different, they were closely related. History was the foundation of literature, and literature was also the witness and record of history. The plots, characters, thoughts, and emotions in many literary works could provide important reference and enlightenment for the study of history. At the same time, the study of history could also provide important guidance and reference for literary creation. Therefore, history and literature complemented each other and depended on each other.
