After reading a classic work, I believe that everyone's vision must be broadened a lot. Why not write a record of your feedback? How should I write a review? The following is my review of the rise of great powers. Welcome to read it. I hope you will like it. Reflections on the Rise of Great Powers 1

By watching The Rise of Great Powers, it tells the story of division and unity, decline and rise of Germany. A country that has been divided many times, a country that has brought the greatest disaster to the whole world, a country that has got rid of all historical misfortunes and re-entered Europe, integrated into the world, and became the third largest economic power, is very admirable and respectable.

experienced many ups and downs, mixed with sadness and joy. Germany, with its infinite charm, affects the whole European continent and the whole world. I believe that many people who have seen the rise of great powers will be deeply impressed by Germany, a legendary country, not only because of its strength, but also because of its attitude towards previous mistakes. It is even more thought-provoking to connect with the current tense moment of Sino-Japanese relations!

In the 12 episodes of the Rise of Great Powers, the theme of Germany is "The Spring and Autumn of the Empire". As the largest country in central Europe, it is nourished by classical music and radiates the rational brilliance of classical philosophy. Unity and strength have always been the greatest driving force for Germany's development, and the ups and downs of fate have constantly tested the Germans. The goddess of peace on the Brandenburg Gate is a sacred symbol of Germany. When France swept the whole European continent 2 years ago, the goddess of peace was transported to France as a trophy, and humiliation came. Because of its geographical position, it is called the main battlefield of the European corridor, and it has been invaded by the surrounding countries. The Germans even killed each other on their own land. In 1648, the state of division was finally determined in the form of law. Schiller once sighed: Germany, where is it, I can't find that land; Goethe, his friend, once sighed: There is not a city or even a piece of land that makes us believe that

this is Germany. In the 19th century, the theme of unity and freedom ran through Germany. In 1814, with Napoleon's defeat, France returned to the goddess of peace, but it had to face a divided Germany again. Fortunately, the thought of unity and freedom in the French Revolution liberated people from the feudal thought that had been imprisoned for a hundred years, and the bright dawn came face to face. From the economist Liszt's suggestion that economic union should be carried out first and then political unification should be realized to the establishment of the German customs union in 1834, Germany's total industrial output has ranked third in Europe in the mid-19th century. The growth of economic strength has brought rapid development to Germany. In 1871, Bismarck came to power, and the increasing military strength made Germany a "barracks in peacetime". Bismarck won a good development environment for Germany with his unique foreign policy. He believes that no country is not aligned, and no country will not become its own enemy. In the Franco-Prussian War of 1871, Germany announced its birth in the palace of France, and a brand-new Germany is coming. During Bismarck's administration, he also attached importance to the cultivation of national education and established a modern university with both education and scientific research. Among the university professors, 29 won the Nobel Prize, and intelligence became an important resource for Germany's development. Therefore, the second industrial revolution was launched in Germany. In 1913, the German economy jumped to the second place in the century, and the economic development stimulated it to seek greater interests in the world. Therefore, in 1914, the First World War began; In 1939, the Second World War began, and Germany became the source of the two world wars. The war destroyed the world and Germany at the same time, and Germany split in two again. In 197, Federal Chancellor Brandt came to the Jewish Monument in Warsaw, Poland, to commemorate the Jews who paid a painful price for World War II. On that day, Brandt made an action that shocked the world. He faced the tombstone of the deceased, knelt on the ground and sincerely repented. It can be said without hesitation that Germany's attitude towards World War II is very different from that of Japan. Instead of avoiding it, they bravely admitted their crimes, which made the world quickly accept Germany again, and even respected Germany more. After years of hard work, on October 3, 199, the goddess of peace at the door of Germany's Ten Bosch once again witnessed a historic scene, and Germany, which had been divided for 41 years, was reunified. With its continuous development, Germany has become the third largest power after the United States and Japan. As a major member of the European Union, it has found a way to strengthen itself by revitalizing Europe.

As the latter, the Second World War has passed for a long time, and the war trance is far away from us, but it brings us not only pain, but also our attitude towards world peace. We can't dwell on the right and wrong of history, and more importantly, our present and future. The joys and sorrows of a period of history are always thought-provoking. In the face of the past, we are constantly feeling. On the road of rejuvenating the motherland, we still have a long way to go. My future in China is still very long. China needs to be strong and self-reliant, and it depends on our continuous struggle. The lesson that history has taught us is that the hard truth that we will be beaten if we fall behind is not empty talk. I believe that our motherland will stand tall in the world power in constant development. Reflections on the Rise of Great Powers 2

This historical documentary "The Rise of Great Powers" shows the rise and fall of nine world great powers in just 12 episodes, or rather, it is a miniature of a development process of human beings in the past 5 years, and a reflection on the rise of great powers in France. The past 5 years have been a very shocking 5 years. Humans developed from land to sea, then began to conquer the sky and then developed into space. It is true that all the feats are the crystallization of the wisdom of people of all nationalities in the world. I feel that this historical documentary is well shot, and the text explanation is very accurate and patient. However, what is even more commendable is that many documentaries used the words of aggression and plunder when talking about developed countries in the past, but this time the documentary viewed other countries with a rational eye and gave China a profound enlightenment. I think, China is also in an important period of development, and it still needs several generations' efforts to move towards a truly influential country. We should acknowledge the achievements of other countries with a broad mind, and learn from the successful experiences of big countries with an open mind, instead of always looking down on everything with a lofty attitude. "Around 15 AD, China was under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Zheng He's fleet made seven voyages to the Western Ocean, but not to open up trade, but to publicize the emperor's virtue and prestige. After Zheng He's death, China people disappeared from the ocean. " However, Portugal and Spain, two small island countries, conquered the ocean with fearless courage and belief, and thus gained the world. After Portugal and Spain, why exactly the Netherlands, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia and the United States have become world powers?

in interviews with many experts and scholars, I found that people's views on the mystery of great powers are very different, but to sum them up, there are the following points: first, the influence of ideology and culture. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill famously said: I would rather lose an India than a Shakespeare. In the process of becoming a great country, the works of dramatist Shakespeare promoted the British humanistic spirit, the laws of mechanics of scientist Newton opened the door to the British industrial revolution, and the wealth of nations of economist Adam Smith provided a new economic order for Britain. Their names are strikingly written on the road of great countries that Britain has traveled. Secondly, institutional innovation. In the 17th century, the Netherlands, which was only two and a half times the size of Beijing, created a business empire that dominated the world with the establishment of a series of modern financial and commercial systems. After the Netherlands, Britain established a global market by promoting free trade, and gradually established a free market economy model; When the disadvantages of this model caused social crisis, the United States joined the means of government intervention in the 193s. Since then, the interaction of "visible hand" and "invisible hand" has changed people's understanding of the traditional market economy model.

Thirdly, we attach importance to talents. In the Panthé on, the holy land of French thought and spirit, the main entrance is engraved with the following words: "To the great men, the motherland thanks them." There are 72 French historical figures buried here, of which only 11 are politicians, and the rest are mostly thinkers, writers, artists and scientists. There is also the degree to which a country attaches importance to education. In Prussia, education is regarded as a necessary obligation of citizens as well as military service, and the state must provide its citizens with opportunities for education. Free education began in the mid-19th century. On the eve of German reunification, the enrollment rate of school-age children reached 97.5%. When Prussia was still paying huge war reparations to Napoleon, Humboldt University in Berlin was born. The king took out the last of his possessions and donated the luxurious king's uterus as a university building. At the same time, he also accepted a request put forward by the university, that is, the state must give material support to teaching and scientific research activities, but must not interfere with education and academic activities. But in the final analysis, comprehensive national strength ultimately determines whether a country is strong or not. History has proved and will continue to prove that the strength of a single force cannot determine the ultimate strength of a country.

After watching The Rise of Great Powers, many scenes of the development process of various countries are constantly replayed in my mind. I feel that there are still many shortcomings in China that need to be worked hard, but at the same time, I also feel that China's step towards becoming a great country is getting louder and stronger! Reflections on the Rise of Great Powers 3

CCTV Economic Channel recently launched 12 episodes of TV documentary The Rise of Great Powers, which aroused strong repercussions. For many Chinese people, this documentary is undoubtedly a "history teaching film" and a collective study of the development history of nine major countries in the world since 15 AD.

It is obviously not as profound as the vast historical books to show the rise and fall of great powers on TV. However, television can vividly leave a deep impression on the public by changing the three primary colors of light and shadow to the glory, honor, bloody battle and prosperity in history. This is a useful attempt to move the historical reflection from the elite's study to the grassroots thinking. CCTV condensed the 5-year history of the rise and fall of nine big countries in 12 short episodes, which is by no means a fast-food TV series for mass entertainment, but a mirror of reading history and deep thinking about China's future.

In the past 5 years, China's so-called prosperous period has lasted until the Qing Dynasty, during which Zheng He's vast fleet went to sea. But this is just a blip of the ancient "Chinese Dragon". In the 3 years since the 14th century, the renaissance of European literature shattered the theological shackles of medieval religions, liberated people from obscurantism, asceticism and mysticism, and laid a spiritual foundation for the establishment and development of modern capitalist system. Since 15, Europe has been a powerful country, leading a new era of Europe as a global leader.

whether it is the maritime hegemony achieved by Portugal and Spain on the Iberian Peninsula through marine adventures, or the commercial empire founded by the Netherlands with a series of modern financial and commercial systems, or the "the sun never sets" empire of Great Britain that initiated the industrial revolution to promote the achievement of free trade, and the subsequent rise of France and Germany. These European powers regard commerce and free trade as the basic elements of the rise of great powers through institutional and institutional innovation, scientific and cultural development. As for the rise of the United States, which inherited the European cultural pedigree, on another continent, the latecomers of Japan and Russia, in addition to their conscious sense of catching up, also experienced the pain of institutional transformation. Of course, the glory of these nine great powers is also stained with the cruelty of war and the original sin of invading other countries and even destroying different cultures. But in any case, these great powers may rise and fall for more than 5 years since 15, but one or more of them still occupy a dominant position in the world in the 21st century. That is, the general trend of western society dominating the world has not been reversed.

For China, understanding the ups and downs of these nine great powers is of vital importance to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. These nine great powers have had direct contact with China in the past 15 years, which is more of a painful memory for China. But it is meaningless to immerse yourself in the pain and hatred of history, and it is even more meaningless to ridicule and denounce the evil of capitalism based on ideological prejudice. Today, with the tide of globalization sweeping the globe, China should be the first to integrate into the world in order to realize national rejuvenation and the rise of a great power. Reform and opening-up, system innovation, the idea of a harmonious society and a harmonious world, etc. These are not only the experiences that China summed up from the prosperity of previous powerful countries, but also the lessons learned from the demise of some powerful countries.

Half a century ago, when President Mao Zedong answered a question from a democrat, Mr. Huang Yanpei, about how the new China got rid of the "prosperity and neglect" of previous dynasties, the prescription given was "people's democracy". Today, this sentence is still of practical significance for China to achieve national rejuvenation and re-emergence. When comprehensive strength becomes the standard to measure the status of a big country, both economic and military strength as hard power and political civilization and cultural influence as soft power are indispensable. The road to a powerful country in the United States has fully verified this point. The new generation of China leaders also juxtapose "political civilization", "material civilization" and "spiritual civilization" with extraordinary political wisdom.

it must be clarified that, unlike the above nine powers, China's road to becoming a powerful country has a profound foundation of 5, years of peaceful and inclusive culture, and rarely invades the cultural traditions of other countries. It is precisely because of this that while learning from the advantages of the nine great powers, China can avoid the historical fate that other great powers will eventually "die".

However, only peaceful rationality, economic power and enlightened politics still cannot realize the dream of becoming a powerful country. For example, in China and Song Dynasties, the economic and cultural development was excellent and the politics was quite open-minded, but it was still a corner of partial security and was eventually destroyed by the foreign race. On May 22nd last year, The New York Times published a commentary by the famous columnist Christopher with a Chinese title: "From Kaifeng to new york-Brilliance is like a passing cloud". Although this is a warning to the United States, it also gives us a warning. On the road to strengthening the country, we must maintain a comprehensive balance between soft and hard forces, and no element of comprehensive national strength can be biased. Reflections on the Rise of Great Powers 4

This summer vacation, I watched another 12-episode TV documentary called The Rise of Great Powers. This film not only let me know a lot of historical knowledge, but also told me how to think and analyze some meaningful problems from historical stories.

history is so interesting! So profound and wonderful!

The documentary The Rise of Great Powers tells the story of the rise and fall of nine great powers, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, England, France, Germany, Japan, Russia (the former Soviet Union) and the United States, which once had brilliant experiences on the world historical stage. Their prosperity is inseparable from the important figures and leaders who change the destiny of the country. From Columbus, William Boekels, Watt, Shakespeare, Adam Smith and Rousseau to Queen Chabbert, Napoleon, Charles de Gaulle, Bismarck, Peter the Great and Washington.
