The World Expo is an international exposition with great influence and a long history organized by the host country government or entrusted by the government to relevant departments. After more than 100 years' history, it initially focused on displaying fine arts and traditional handicrafts, and then gradually became an exhibition of science and technology, 20 10 Shanghai World Expo and industrial technology, and became a rare place to train industrial talents and enlighten ordinary citizens. The venue of the World Expo is not only to display technology and commodities, but also to be accompanied by colorful performances and charming and spectacular scenery. It is set as a space full of festive atmosphere that cannot be experienced in daily life, and it has become an ideal place for ordinary citizens to entertain and consume.
Expo is a gathering of human beings. People gather from all over the world to show their products and skills and praise their hometown and motherland. The World Expo is a masterpiece of human civilization, so it has unparalleled attraction and makes people feel excited. This kind of party can be traced back to ancient times. As early as the 5th century A.D., Persia held its first exhibition beyond the market function. At the end of the eighteenth century, people gradually thought of holding exhibitions similar to expositions, but they only exhibited and did not sell them. The modern world Expo originated in the middle of the19th century, when the industrial revolution was in its infancy. Up to now, the World Expo has been held for more than 40 times, and it has mainly experienced four stages of development.
The World Expo is a display area for people's inspiration and thoughts. Since 185 1 was held in London, the status of the World Expo has become increasingly prominent. As a grand event, it is an important platform for economic, scientific and cultural exchanges, showing historical experience, exchanging innovative ideas, developing team spirit and looking forward to the future.
China has a long civilization, promotes international exchanges and loves world peace. China won the 20 10 World Expo thanks to the support and confidence of the international community and the reform and opening up of China. The Expo will be the first registered Expo held in a developing country, which also places great expectations on the future development of China.
So what will Expo 20 10 China present to the world? There is no doubt that the people of China will present a successful, spectacular and unforgettable exhibition.
Expo 20 10 is a grand event to fully develop the potential of urban life in the 2/kloc-0 century, and it is also an important stage of urban progress. It is estimated that 50% of the world population will live in cities in 20 10. Future urban life is a topic of global concern, which is shared by all countries in the world, developed or underdeveloped countries and people. As the theme of the first World Expo, the city will attract the government and people at the 20 10 World Expo, and the theme that the world pays attention to is "Better City, Better Life". 184 days, participating countries will fully demonstrate the level of urban civilization in the new century, fully exchange urban development experience, spread advanced urban development concepts, and explore new concepts, living and working conditions of urban human settlements. They will learn how to create an ecological society and a plan for the sustainable development of mankind.
The core of Expo 20 10 is innovation and interaction. Innovation is the soul, and cultural exchange is also an important task of the World Expo. In the new era, Expo 20 10 will devote itself to people-oriented development, scientific and technological innovation, cultural differences and win-win future cooperation, so the high innovation and interaction in the new century will be an important note that constitutes this theme.
Expo 20 10 is also a grand international gathering. On the one hand, we should strive to attract about 200 countries and international organizations and 70 million domestic and foreign tourists to participate in the World Expo, so as to ensure that it is the largest World Expo in history. On the other hand, we should look at the Expo from a global perspective, try our best to get more people involved and gain the support and understanding of people from all countries; In order to make Expo 20 10 a happy gathering of people all over the world.
In addition, Expo 20 10 makes cross-cultural dialogue possible. Before summing up the Expo, the "Shanghai Declaration" will be issued first.
This declaration is expected to be a milestone in the history of the World Expo. It will extract the opinions of participating countries, and also include people's ideas about future cooperation and development, as well as their broad aspirations. Therefore, it has left a precious spiritual legacy about urban development to people all over the world.
The China Municipal Government has made every effort to make Expo 20 10 a prosperous and sustainable tradition and open up new prospects for the future. Our slogan is "Keep in mind the development in the next 60 years and prepare for the six-month World Expo". We will place our hopes on countries that love world peace and continue to pay attention, support and participate.
When you are walking in the street, politely stop a pedestrian and ask him, "Do you know what is the leading event at home and abroad in 20 10?" "Shanghai World Expo, of course." If you repeat this action several times to satisfy your curiosity, almost all the answers you get are locked in the Shanghai World Expo.
Speaking of the World Expo, people may not know its history as well as the Olympic Games, or even know nothing about it, because its past is not as long as the Olympic Games, and now it is not as world-famous as the Olympic Games. However, after the birth of the Olympic Games, it is not a household name, but has been continuously developed and improved in the long years, and more and more countries and regions have participated in it. This is probably the only way for all things to develop, and the World Expo is no exception. Therefore, the World Expo still has a lot of room for development. So far, the great achievements of the World Expo have made him enjoy the reputation of "Olympic Games in the fields of economy, science and technology and culture". From this point of view, the future "development prospects" of the World Expo are limitless.
In fact, China has a deep historical relationship with the World Expo. China has been participating in the World Expo since 185 1 the first real World Expo was held in London, England. However, the Qing government, which has been pursuing the policy of "valuing agriculture over commerce" and "closing the door to the outside world", only made insignificant "innovation" under the invasion of foreign countries, and did not realize that the future world would enter "commercial times". It was not until 1873 that China participated in the World Expo as a government, but during this period, China's right to participate in the World Expo was still in the hands of British-controlled customs. It was not until the beginning of the second century A.D., that is, 1905, that the Qing government officially issued a decree to reclaim the right to participate in the World Expo. After China participated in the World Expo, the winning products still remained in traditional products, and there was still no breakthrough in modern industrial products. Always stay in the state of "point to stop".
This deadlock was finally broken in 1982 at the "Energy" World Expo held in Knoxville, USA. This is the first time that New China has participated in the World Expo since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is also the first time that China has made his debut in a large-scale international exhibition since the reform and opening up. But at this time, China is facing a country and an exhibition hall, which highlights the comprehensive strength of a country and the development of various fields in recent years, no matter which field represents the most advanced level of this country. China uncharacteristically innovated in modern industrial products at this conference, which attracted the attention of many audiences and showed its powerful national strength.
In fact, hosting this World Expo has profound practical significance. Hosting this World Expo not only brought development opportunities to the country, expanded international exchanges and cooperation, and promoted economic development, but also created enormous economic and social benefits for the host country, publicized and expanded the visibility and reputation of the host country, promoted social prosperity and progress, and enabled other countries to have a better and more comprehensive understanding of China, so as to take off their glasses to look at China, a rapidly developing socialist country.
From your participation in 185 1 year to the successful bid for the Olympic Games in 2002, China has changed from a poor and backward agricultural country to a powerful industrial country that plays an important role in international affairs in the extraordinary 150 years. How can this not make every innocent Chinese people rejoice and be proud of it?
The Centennial World Expo witnessed the vigorous development and vicissitudes of China in the past century, and reflected that a great nation climbed from the valley to the peak, from decline to glory! The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is just around the corner!
Come on, friends, let's pay attention to the World Expo and look forward to this great and sacred moment. We look forward to our motherland, China, a great country, showing its elegance to the people of the world! In the years to come, the World Expo will show more clearly than ever that the road of mankind is possible, life is beautiful and it can be better.
2 1 century is a green century. The theme of the World Expo held in Aichi, Japan is "the wisdom of nature". It can be seen that people pay more and more attention to nature and ecology. The dominant residence in 2 1 century is green home, the dominant food in 2 1 century is green food, and the dominant environment in 2 1 century is green environment. Green is also the eternal theme of mankind. Greening is an important link to embody green.
The word greening is not strange to us. As we all know, greening can beautify the environment, release oxygen, reduce noise and temperature, stop sandstorms and improve the environment. Not only that, greening can also reduce people's fear and anger and promote positive psychological reaction. It can be said that greening is an indispensable part of life.
Shanghai, Expo 20 10, takes greening as the focus of urban planning. With the countdown to the Expo application, the moving hands on the dial touch the heartstrings of all people who care about the Expo, especially the staff of Shanghai Greening Administration Bureau, which is closely related to the Expo project. After all, 60%-80% of the 400 hectares bid site will be green. Greening is very important for the urban construction of Shanghai World Expo 20 10, improving people's quality of life and promoting economic growth.
First of all, greening can promote the urban construction of Shanghai. It is understood that Expo 20 10 will have a number of green corridors perpendicular to the Huangpu River, extending the green belt from the riverside area to the hinterland of the city, just like the link between modern cities and nature; Against the backdrop of green trees, a 400-500-meter-long flower bridge dedicated to tourists will cross the banks of Pujiang and become a landmark building connecting the past, the present and the future. After the World Expo, the Expo space will be transformed according to the urban prototype of this area, and it will be integrated into the urban area of Shanghai. Green corridors and canals will be preserved. The flower bridge across the Huangpu River will also be preserved, which can guide tourists to take a walk in a new city park. After the exhibition, it will become another landmark building in Shanghai as a part of the city appearance.
Secondly, greening can improve people's quality of life. By 20 10, Shanghai will reach its goal just around the corner.
Not only that, greening will also bring economic growth. Due to the 20 10 World Expo, the housing prices in Shanghai will rise. According to the data of real estate investment, the most direct beneficiary of green space is real estate developers: the park green space invested by the government is always around the park-there is almost no "long grass is not expensive" house price near the park. In recent years, the property price near the park has risen by at least 1000 yuan per square meter, and the average number of sales of buildings near the green space will be much higher than that far away from the green space.
Without a green home, there will be no peace and tranquility. There is no green grass, only a piece of pale road, dazzling pale in the strong sunshine. ...
Water is the source of life, and green is the color of life. Only a green city can be full of vigor and vitality. ...
Green is an eternal concept of human beings.
Green is a symbol of civilization.
Green, it shows the inspiration and charm of nature.
Let's take action from now on to make the city greener and more vibrant.

The gold ornaments of the Sun God Bird unearthed in Chengdu on 20 10 have aroused many people's interest. Vividly reappears the myth and legend of "golden bird inherits the sun", which not only embodies the worship of the sun and birds, but also expresses the praise of human life and sports. No matter before or now, the pursuit of a better life has always been the belief in human hearts, as has the 2008 Olympic Games and the World Expo.
The World Expo is a gathering place of civilizations of different times, a beacon of future development and a vision of a better life. Closer the distance between people, Qi Xin works together to create an environment and live in harmony.
The bustling city and noisy urban area seem to tell us that money, status and prestige are our pursuit of a better life, but such a life is not satisfactory. Bi Shumin once said: Happiness lies not in wealth, but in the synchronization of prestige and status, which is just your inner feeling. Maybe money can bring many things, brilliant appearance and greedy desire, but it can't bring eternal happiness. As one of the participating countries in this World Expo, Denmark does not focus on design, but on the theme of "Happy Life, Fairy Tale Paradise". The most distinctive feature is that there is a little mermaid sculpture in the center of the pool in Denmark harbor. This idea not only expresses people's yearning for a simple and happy life after living in a busy city, but also enjoys the tranquility and leisure endowed by nature.
The World Expo is like a bond, which connects people all over the world and narrows the spiritual distance between people. Taiwan Province Province is the treasure island of our country. For various reasons, he has been naughty for a long time and refused to return to his mother's arms. The World Expo has brought them closer together. The Taiwan Province Provincial Pavilion looks like a sky lantern, and its design concept is "Nature? Do you mind? " "City", with sky lanterns and landscapes, reveals a modern and bright appearance in retro style, presenting different styles day and night, bringing people special visual enjoyment. In addition, the spherical wick is like the earth, and the huge lampshade surrounds people from all over the world in the same space. Although they come from different countries, they have the same dream and goal, just like the golden bird, they are all working hard to create a better life.
Perhaps, time can dilute the inner scars, but it can't wash away our beliefs; Perhaps, life can crush inner fragility, but it can't kill our desire for life; Perhaps, scars will hinder our inner concern, but we can't give up our common pursuit. The World Expo has not only brought opportunities for development to China, but also provided us with opportunities to get to know each other with guests from all over the world. "Better City, Better Life" is the theme of this World Expo and our common dream. Each exhibition hall has its own characteristics, and they will show the world a different world.
Nature, mind and city, walk into the World Expo and listen to another voice of the world; Walk into the World Expo and feel another corner of the world. A better life requires the concerted efforts of everyone in Qi Xin. A person's strength is small and accumulated.
Come on, be strong, walk into the Expo, contribute your strength, make life beautiful because of you, and make the world wonderful because of you.
