◆The origin of the World Expo

In ancient farming societies, people often carried out trading activities during harvest celebrations, religious ceremonies, and festive festivals. Later, they gradually developed into regular and fixed events. A large-scale trade and exhibition gathering for the purpose of exchanging goods. This was the earliest form of the World Expo.

In the 5th century AD, Persia held the first exhibition beyond the function of a market.

In the 18th century, with the continuous emergence of new technologies and products, people gradually thought of holding exhibitions similar to fairs, but only for display and not for sale, with the purpose of promoting and displaying new products and achievements. .

In 1791, the Czech Republic held the first such exhibition in its capital, Prague. With the advancement of science and technology and the development of social productivity, the scale of exhibitions has gradually expanded. The geographical scope of exhibitions has expanded from one place to the whole country, from domestic to foreign countries, until it has developed into a world exposition participated by many countries.

The serious and rigid British mobilized the country's economic power to organize exhibitions for a World Expo. The architectural style of the Victorian era was bulky, mostly made of huge stone buildings. At this World Expo, the British changed their past style and built the Crystal Palace with steel and glass as the main building materials in the famous Hyde Company.

The first World Expo opened in a lively atmosphere. In the exhibition area covering an area of ??96,000 square meters, the total length of exhibition tables was about 13 kilometers. During the 23-week exhibition period, there were 6.3 million people visited. The 14,000 exhibits include a 24-ton coal block, a large diamond from India, and a stuffed elephant, while engines, hydraulic printing presses, and textile machinery show visitors the details of modern industry. development and the boundless imagination of mankind.

This World Expo is not only a "dazzling and colorful" display, but also a pioneer of free trade in the next few decades, heralding the arrival of the era of industrialized production to mankind. All exhibits are It represents the development of modern industry and the infinite imagination of mankind. The London Exhibition was therefore recognized as the first World's Fair in the modern sense. The Crystal Palace Exposition became a huge driving force for science and progress in the twentieth century. Its success made subsequent World Expos a global event like the Olympic Games. The World Expo was therefore known as the "Olympic event in the economic, technological and cultural circles."

◆Which World Expo established a theme for the first time?

The higher the level of social productivity, the stronger the professionalism of socialized production, and all activities in social life 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.
