I want to make a handwritten newspaper about the Shanghai World Expo, please give me some information~! ! !

The Origin of the World Expo

The World Expo has a long history. As early as the 5th century AD, Persia held an exhibition that went beyond the function of a market. The Persian king at that time showed off his country's financial and material resources by displaying finances to intimidate neighboring countries. At the end of the 18th century, people gradually thought of holding exhibitions similar to fairs, but only for exhibitions and not for sale. This new idea was pioneered in Prague, Czech Republic in 1791. With the advent of the industrial revolution, the improvement of social productivity, the advancement of science and technology, and the development of international transportation, the conditions for holding world-wide exhibitions have gradually matured. By the mid-19th century, the exhibits and exhibitors at the fair expanded beyond a single country.

Categories of World Expos

As the name suggests, the World Expo is a large-scale event involving a wide range of content in terms of time, region, category, variety, etc. Under normal circumstances, it is only divided into Two categories. One type is a comprehensive World Expo, and the other is a professional World Expo.

Of the more than 50 World Expos held in the past, most were comprehensive World Expos. The contents of the comprehensive World Expo are all-encompassing. The host country provides the venue free of charge, and the participating countries pay their own money to establish independent exhibition halls. The exhibitions in the halls reflect the comprehensive achievements of the country's science and technology, culture, economy, and society. Comprehensive expos are generally held every five years. The content of professional expos is more monotonous. It mainly displays certain types of professional products. The following themes can be regarded as recognized exhibitions: ecology, land transportation, hunting, entertainment, atomic energy, mountains and rivers, urban planning, Animal husbandry, meteorology, shipping, fishing, fish farming, chemical industry, forest, habitat, medicine, ocean, data processing, food, etc. Participating countries decorate and set up their own exhibitions in the venues designated by the host country, and do not need to build special exhibition halls. The 1999 Kunming World Expo is a professional international expo.

The significance and role of hosting World Expos

Establishment of the theme of the World Expo

The higher the level of social productivity, the stronger the professionalism of socialized production, and all activities in social life will become more orderly. After nearly a hundred years of interpretation, the United States held the World Expo in Chicago in 1933 with the theme of "A Century of Progress." This is the first World Expo with a theme, requiring exhibitors to design and create their own exhibits around a unique theme. Most of what was on display at the conference were the achievements of a century of science and technology. The most fascinating ones were the gorgeous neon lights, while the ones that caused a stir were new scientific and technological achievements such as aviation technology and new buildings with air-conditioning facilities. People have seen the tremendous progress in science and technology over the past century and are very inspired. Since then, every World Expo has determined a theme of great significance.

Leisure life was once the theme of the World Expo

For a long time, human beings have been transforming nature and developing science and technology with the spirit of "man can conquer nature" to create "a richer life" and "leisure life". "It's just people's second need. In 1988, Australia held the Brisbane World Expo to commemorate the bicentenary of European settlement in Australia, and took "Leisure Life in the Age of Technology" as the theme of the World Expo. Countries around the world are making a fuss about this theme, and have used various contents such as sports, entertainment, tourism, cooking, gardening, etc. to reflect the richness and variety of human life.

It fully shows that in modern society with extremely advanced science and technology, human beings long for leisure after experiencing fierce struggle, and leisure life has been valued. Highlighting the topic of "leisure" in beautiful Australia left a deep impression on people.
