There is a famous slogan called "Everything starts with the World Expo". Why do you say that?

The World Expo is famous for many "world firsts". "Everything starts from the Expo" is people's sincere admiration for the products and conceptual models that have gathered the most advanced civilization achievements and the latest trends in all eras. Every World Expo, regardless of its scale, has brought human civilization to a new height. In the process of investigating western civilization, Expo is an important indicator, which has become a hot topic in China's modern observation of the West. Therefore, in Liang Qichao's novel The Future of New China, which is regarded as a political fable, and Wu's novel The New Stone, which has a sense of social criticism, the World Expo has become a symbol of a powerful country and civilization.

The word "Expo" comes from China and is a descendant of the Japanese. Fukuzawa Yukichi Fukuzawa Yukichi, a Japanese thinker in Meiji period, translated "exhibition" into "exposition" for the first time. He is called the biggest enlightener in Japan, and his enlightenment thought comes from his experience of traveling in Europe and America and visiting western expositions. Under the orders of the Japanese shogunate, Fukuzawa Yukichi led a delegation to visit Europe and the United States many times in 1960s (65438-2009). After experiencing the western civilization, Fukuzawa Yukichi was greatly shocked and felt the great difference between the eastern and western social systems. His masterpiece Westernization introduced the way of western civilization in detail, and his later exhortation accumulated his thoughts on civilization and put forward the idea of practicing "one person and one country" in a civilized way.

1867 During the Paris World Expo, Japan sent an informal delegation to the World Expo for the first time. As a member of the delegation, Shibusawa Eiichi visited the Paris World Expo. The novelty of industrial products has replaced the machinery and equipment of manual workshops, and the degree of industrialization in the West has greatly shocked Shibusawa Eiichi.
