In the long history of mankind, the World Expo not only shows the fruitful achievements of material civilization in various times, but also shows the profound understanding of industry, science and technology, culture and nation. At the same time, the history of the World Expo is also a history of constant changes and progress in the evaluation of the civilization created by human beings.

It can be said that the industrial revolution gave birth to the World Expo in the modern sense, and the original intention of the World Expo was to show the achievements of industrial revolutions in various countries. 185 1 year, Britain held the first modern world exposition, which was recognized by people. This Expo is called London International Industrial Fair. Invited 10 countries to participate in the exhibition for 160 days, with more than 6.3 million visitors. China exhibited excellent exhibits with national characteristics, such as Rongji Lake Silk, and won the gold medal. There is no direct trading activity at the Expo, which has formed a pattern of hosting the World Expo in various countries in the future. The World Expo was held in Hyde Park in central London. The exhibition hall consists of steel frame and glass curtain wall. This building is called "Crystal Palace".

/kloc-The Paris World Expo in 0/900 is called "the sum of the centuries", which continues and develops the characteristics of the Expo's technology center and shows the technological achievements of western society in 0/kloc-9 century. The number of visitors to this Expo reached an unprecedented 4,865,438+million, far exceeding previous World Expositions. The Expo led by the industrial revolution reached its climax in the19th century. Since then, the industrial revolution has pushed the Expo to a state of spent force, which gradually led to the decline of the technology center. 1900 The Paris World Expo is an important turning point. In the first half of the 20th century, it never reappeared so brilliantly.

From 65438 to 0933, the Chicago World Expo also occupied an important position in the development of the World Expo. The background of this World Expo is that the United States began to recover from the economic depression in the 1930s, and the Chicago World Expo was held to celebrate the 0/00th anniversary of the founding of Chicago. * * * There are 47 countries participating in the exhibition and 38.3 million tourists visiting. There are two original works in this World Expo, which have become the practice of subsequent World Expo. First, it has a clear theme for the first time. It puts forward the theme of "one hundred years of progress". Since then, every World Expo has a definite theme. Second, it has created the history of large enterprises building special pavilions in the Expo Park. It allows some large enterprises to set up special exhibition halls, such as GM, Ford, Chrysler and other automobile companies, which are very popular with entrepreneurs and visitors.

1958 The Brussels World Expo is the first World Expo after the Second World War. On the ruins of war, people should not only rebuild their homes, but also rebuild their faith in progress. The theme of this World Expo is "Scientific Civilization and Humanism", and the theme has already shown a change from technocentrism to humanism. The logo of this World Expo further illustrates this point. It is a huge atomic structure model, which symbolizes the safe and peaceful application of atomic energy by human beings.

Japan was defeated in World War II. After the war, Japan devoted itself to economic development and national rejuvenation. 1964 In June, the Japanese government decided to bid for the Osaka World Expo 1970 and won the right to host it in September 1965. The Osaka World Expo attracted 76 countries and 4 international organizations, with more than 64 million visitors, making it the world Expo with the largest number of visitors so far. This World Expo has greatly promoted the construction of transportation, high-grade housing, commercial facilities, tourism and cultural exchange places in Osaka, and promoted the formation of Kansai urban agglomeration centered on Osaka, which is of great significance to Japan's economic development and layout. 1970 osaka world Expo is also the first world Expo held by an Asian country.

During the period of 1988, the Bureau of International Exhibitions reclassified the Expo: according to its nature, scale and duration, it was divided into two categories: registered and licensed. Registered Expo is a comprehensive exhibition under a certain theme, which is built by the participating countries at their own expense. The exhibition period shall not exceed 6 months, and the venue area is not limited. Franchised (formerly professional) World Expo venues focus on specialties, such as ecology, meteorology, environmental protection, science and technology, chemical industry, medicine, ocean, information, urban construction, transportation, food and gardening. And on a small scale. The host country is responsible for building the exhibition hall and providing it to the participating countries free of charge. The venue area shall not exceed 25 hectares, and the exhibition period shall not exceed 3 months. It is stipulated that starting from 1995, the interval between registered world expositions should be at least 5 years, and a licensed world exposition can be held between two registered world expositions. The interval between hosting two World Expos in the same country is 15 years. The bidding competition of candidate countries is decided by the General Assembly of the Bureau of International Expositions.

From 20th century to 2 1 century, human beings began to change from conquering nature to respecting nature. In addition to paying attention to the development of the host city, the Expo will also turn its attention to the whole earth and pay attention to global issues such as ecology and environmental protection. At the same time, there were too many wars in the last century, and people's hearts were full of strong desire for peace. The World Expo can build bridges for people of all countries, eliminate misunderstandings, enhance understanding and resolve contradictions.

It is under the impetus of this concept that the organizers of the 2000 Hanover World Expo took the necessity of protecting resources as a theme of the Hanover World Expo very seriously when considering the scope of the theme, which is very in line with the trend of the times. The latest World Expo, Aichi World Expo 2005, defined the theme as "the wisdom of nature", looking at the whole world and reflecting the attitude of human beings towards nature, society and the future. The newly approved 2008 Zaragoza World Expo will be an international event, with the theme of the dynamic relationship between water and human society. This is a global, far-reaching and supportive project based on a lasting concept: water and sustainable development.

Expo 2 1 Organizers try to review how people have reconnected the estranged relationship between human beings and nature with wisdom and technology so far through a variety of exhibitions. The World Expo will still have a strong vitality in the 2 1 century and will become a driving force for world peace and development. The pace of progress is still going on. The China 20 10 Shanghai World Expo with the theme of "Better City, Better Life" will add new brilliance and brilliance to the long-term development of the Expo.
