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

The World Expo has a long history. As early as the 5th century A.D., Persia held an exhibition beyond the market function. At that time, the Persian king showed off his country's financial and material resources by showing his financial resources, so as to deter his neighbors. At the end of 18, people gradually thought of holding an exhibition similar to the market, but only for exhibition and not for sale. This new idea was first put forward in Prague, Czech Republic in 179 1. With the arrival of the industrial revolution, the improvement of social productivity, the progress of science and technology and the development of international transportation, the conditions for holding world exhibitions are gradually mature. By the middle of the19th century, the exhibits and exhibitors at the exhibition had gone beyond the scope of a single country.

Categories of Expo

As the name implies, the World Expo is a large-scale activity involving time, region, category and variety. Generally speaking, there are only two categories. One is a comprehensive exposition, and the other is a professional exposition.

Among the more than 50 World Expos held in the past, the comprehensive World Expos are the most. The exhibition contents of the comprehensive Expo are all-inclusive. The host country provides the venue free of charge, and the participating countries set up independent exhibition halls from their own pockets to display the comprehensive achievements of science, technology, culture, economy and society. Comprehensive exposition is generally held once every five years. The content of professional exhibitions is monotonous. It focuses on some professional products, and the following topics can be regarded as recognized exhibitions: ecology, land transportation, hunting, entertainment, atomic energy, mountains and rivers, urban planning, animal husbandry, meteorology, shipping, fisheries, fish farming, chemicals, forests, habitats, medicine, oceans, data processing, food and so on. Participating countries decorate their own exhibitions in the venues designated by the host country, and there is no need to build special exhibition halls. 99 Kunming World Expo is a professional international exposition.

The significance and function of hol that world Expo

The purpose of hosting the World Expo is often to celebrate major historical events or important commemorative activities in a country or region, and to show the achievements of mankind in politics, economy, culture, science and technology in a certain field. Hosting the World Expo will not only bring development opportunities to participating countries, expand international exchanges and cooperation, and promote economic development, but also create huge economic and social benefits for the host country, publicize and expand its popularity and reputation, and promote social prosperity and progress.

Countries and cities that have hosted the World Expo

By 2000, there were 13 countries and 24 cities in Britain, France, USA, Germany, Belgium, Canada, Japan, Australia, Spain, Italy, Korea, Portugal and China.

Establishment of World Expo Theme

The higher the level of social productive forces, the stronger the professionalism of socialized production and the more orderly all activities of social life. After nearly a hundred years' interpretation of the World Expo, the United States held the World Expo with the theme of "One Century's Progress" in Chicago on 1933. This is the first World Expo with a theme, requiring exhibitors to design and create their own exhibits around a common theme. Most of the scientific and technological achievements in the past 100 years were exhibited at the meeting. The spectacular neon lights were fascinating, while new scientific and technological achievements such as aviation technology and new buildings with air-conditioning facilities caused a sensation. People are encouraged to see the great progress of science and technology in the past century. Since then, every World Expo has set a very meaningful theme.

Leisure life was once the theme of the World Expo.

For a long time, human beings have been transforming nature, developing science and technology and creating a "richer life" with the spirit of "man can conquer nature", and "leisure" is only the second need of human beings. 1988, Australia hosted the Brisbane World Expo to commemorate the bicentennial of Europeans' landing and settlement in Australia, and the theme of the Expo was "Leisure life in the age of science and technology". All countries have made a big fuss about this theme, and have used sports, entertainment, tourism, cooking, gardening and other contents to reflect the richness of human life. It fully shows that in the modern society with extremely developed science and technology, after fierce struggle, human beings are eager for leisure and leisure life has been paid attention to. The topic of "leisure" in beautiful Australia has left a deep impression on people.

Rules for the Election of the Host City of the World Expo

According to the election rules, the 89 member countries of the Bureau of International Expositions, big or small, each have one vote.
