Framework Overview of Major Historical Events

1. Form a systematic cognitive framework: Understand the logic of how the world operates
2. Accumulate social talking points: Gain catchy one-liners that can be blurted out
3. Connect to current hot topics: Understand current affairs through the lens of history

Core Positioning

Topic Selection Priority

Priority 1: Link to recent hot topics
  ↓ If no relevant hot topics / already covered
Priority 2: Innovative topics outside the preset pool
  ↓ If all pool topics are covered
Priority 3: Random exploration of unknown events

Hot Topic Judgment Process

Step 1: Call the search_web tool
        Query: "This week's international news hotspots" or "Today's major news"

Step 2: Extract 2-3 hot topics from the search results

Step 3: Judge if there is a historical connection
        - Strong connection: Same region / same type (Russia-Ukraine conflict → Cold War/Soviet disintegration)
        - Weak connection: Similar structure/pattern (AI competition → Space Race)
        - No connection: Skip hot topic priority and proceed to topics outside the preset pool

Step 4: Select the historical event with the highest relevance

Topic Selection Rules

1. Hot Topic First: Obtain hot topics through the above process and select major events that can establish a "historical lens" relationship
2. Innovation Bonus: Not limited to the preset pool, creative niche topics get extra points
3. Duplication Removal Mechanism: Already covered events will not be repeated (recorded in

   history_autopsy_log.json

   )
4. Diversity: Avoid consecutive selection of events from the same region/period

Duplication Check Process

1. Read

   history_autopsy_log.json

   (treat as empty array

   []

   if it does not exist)
2. Check if the candidate event is already in the history records
3. If duplicate: Re-select (up to 3 times)
4. If still duplicate after 3 attempts:

   Your historical archive is already quite rich! Human history is vast, please try again later or specify the historical period you are interested in.

5. If successful: Append the event name to the history and write back

Golden Sentence Standards

Language Style

• Easy to Understand: Avoid academic jargon, explain complex concepts in everyday language
• Clear Framework: Logical and structured, allowing readers to quickly grasp the main thread
• Highlighted Golden Sentences: Use bold or

  > quote box

  in the text to highlight key retellable sentences
• Objective Presentation: Explain "why" instead of judging "right or wrong"

Citation Norms

• All historical facts must be verifiable
• Mark

  (According to historical records)

  or

  (According to academic research)

  when the source cannot be confirmed
• Objectively present multiple viewpoints when encountering academic disputes

Restrictive Principles

• Select macro events, not individual events
• Provide framework-based overview to help form cognitive structure
• Highlight retellable golden sentences and talking points
• Present objectively and avoid subjective judgment

• Select overly segmented single-point events (e.g., "a certain battle" as a standalone article)
• Conduct in-depth academic causal chain analysis (that's the positioning of the old version of the skill)
• Make moral judgments or political stances
• Express positions on sensitive historical topics

Example: Industrial Revolution

Industrial Revolution: Framework Overview

1. One-Sentence Definition

2. Background and Causes

• Institution: Patent laws protect inventions and innovations
• Capital: Banking system supports industrial investment
• Resources: Britain has abundant coal and iron resources close to water transportation

Key Insight: The Industrial Revolution was not a sudden outbreak of technology, but the result of the simultaneous maturity of four factors: institution, capital, resources, and market.

3. Key Processes

Turning Point: The opening of the Liverpool-Manchester Railway in 1830 - Railways not only transported goods, but also transported the ideas and models of the Industrial Revolution.

4. Outcomes and Impacts

• Productivity explosion: British industrial output quadrupled from 1800 to 1850
• Accelerated urbanization: Urban population accounted for 20% of Britain in 1800, rising to 50% in 1850
• Social differentiation: A new class confrontation formed between factory owners and the working class

• Reshaped global pattern: Industrialized countries became the dominant forces in the world
• Embryo of modern society: Separation of work and life, time discipline, consumer culture
• Environmental costs: Problems such as soot pollution and resource depletion began to emerge

• The "growth logic" initiated by the Industrial Revolution is still the underlying assumption of the global economy
• Anxiety about employment structure changes caused by technological transformation (similar to today's discussions about AI replacing human labor)

5. Cognitive Framework

1. Four-Factor Model: Technological breakthroughs require the simultaneous maturity of four factors: institution, capital, resources, and market
2. First-Mover Advantage and Path Dependence: Britain's first-mover advantage continued to influence the world pattern for the next 150 years
3. Social Costs of Technological Revolution: Each technological revolution is accompanied by drastic social restructuring and growing pains

6. Talking Points Cheat Sheet

💡 Golden Sentence 1: The essence of the Industrial Revolution is "machines replacing manual labor, factories replacing workshops, cities replacing villages" - 12 words summarizing humanity's greatest social transformation.

💡 Golden Sentence 2: When railways opened in 1830, some people worried "the human body cannot withstand 30 km/h" - similar panic occurs in every technological revolution.

💡 Golden Sentence 3: Britain could industrialize first not because the British were smarter, but because inventions and innovations could make money there - institutions are more important than intelligence.
