Why do we study school history, Hong Kong history, China’s
history and World history?
1. We can understand the present through its past.
The current school badge is used from 1 July 1997 onwards.
Before 1 July 1997
i)
ii)
After 1 July 1997
Can you point out the main difference between them?
Do you know why we have to make such a change?
To understand why this happened, we have to go back to the time when the
British started ruling Hong Kong.
2. History lets us understand our own culture
History shows how the culture to which you belong has come into being.
By studying the history of King’s College, we understand why there are six
Houses in our school. By studying the history of Hong Kong, we understand
why Hong Kong is a special place in which Eastern and Western cultures meet.
3. Through history, we can learn the skills of historians
Historians check different
and find as much
as possible
to support their conclusion. They do not believe in everything right away.
The study of History helps us decide what is right and wrong, true and false and
to distinguish opinions from facts (Refer to p. 10). It makes us think before
accepting something and helps us make our own judgements.

Historians divide history into different periods.
1. Prehistoric times and Historic Times
a) Prehistoric times (史前時期)
This is the period before writing was invented.
b) Historic Times (信史時期)
This is the period after writing was invented.
2. Christian Dating Method
a) BC or Before Christ (公元前)
Æ the years before Christ’s birth. The ‘BC’ years are counted
b) AD or Anno Domini
Æ
.
(公元)
the years after Christ’s birth. The Latin words ‘Anno Domini’ mean
‘In the year of our Lord’. The ‘AD’ years are counted
.
If an event happened 150 years before AD 1, it occurred in 150 BC.
We can also say that it happened about 2154 years ago, based on this:
From AD 1 to this year
= About 2,004 years
From AD 1 to 150 BC
= About 150 years
Total
= 2,154 years
In AD 1926 King’s College was established. This means that the event took
place in the 1926th year after AD 1.
Remarks: For the AD years, sometimes we can omit ‘AD’ to make things simple.
For BC years, however, we must not do that.
3000 BC
2000 BC
1000 BC
BC (Before Christ)
AD 1
AD 1000

AD (Anno Domini)

Chronology
When we study history, we also need to know the dates when events happen.
Historians call this study of time and dates chronology (年代學) , and the order in
which events happen
(按年排列).
A time-line (時序線) is used to show the order in which events happen. Centuries
(世紀), decades (十年), years, months or days are used as units.
Help Box
1 decade = 10 years
1 century = 10 decades
In which century is the year 2004? Explain your answer. (Hints: make use of the
time-line below)
BC 1 AD

Hong Kong’s Role
