军事史学是一个既古老又持久的学科，是一门既丰富又具有活力的学问。军事史学的生命力在于不断发展和创新。当人类出现战争时，人类的军事历史也就随之产生。当人们开口说话时，产生以语言为记录方式的口碑军事历史；当人们开始作画时，产生以绘画为记录方式的符号军事历史； Military history is an ancient and enduring discipline that is both a rich and dynamic science. The vitality of military history lies in continuous development and innovation. When human warfare occurs, the human history of the military also follows. When people speak, they produce a word-of-mouth military history in which language is the recording method. When people start painting, they produce the symbolic military history in which painting is the recording method.
