It means to record one's name and deeds in history books, which is usually used to describe outstanding achievements and immortality. The idiom "Qing" refers to bamboo slips, "history" refers to history or history books, and "Qing history" is the history books recorded on bamboo slips.

In addition to "history books", the word "history books" is also related to bamboo slips. Because there is a layer of water-containing bamboo green on the surface of bamboo, it is difficult to carve it on it without removing it, so when the ancients made bamboo slips, there was a link of "fixing green", that is, roasting them on the fire. It is also called "history", so the ancients also used "history" as a metaphor for history and history books.
