It has the characteristics of long holding time, large exhibition scale, many participating countries and far-reaching influence. Since 2000, the World Expo has been held every five years. Due to its rapid development, the World Expo enjoys the reputation of "Olympic Games in the fields of economy, science and technology and culture". Let's learn more about the World Expo. What is the World Expo? The full name of the World Expo is World Expo. The World Expo is divided into two forms, one is comprehensive and the other is professional. 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. Exhibitors showed the world the achievements of contemporary culture, science and technology and industry, which had a positive impact on all areas of life.

The significance of the World Expo is 1. Consumption has a negative effect on production, and consumption development promotes production development. Hosting the World Expo will effectively expand domestic investment and consumer demand, stimulate the development of tourism, cultural industry, catering industry, communication and transportation industry and other related industries, thus effectively stimulating the growth of the national economy.

2. To promote the sound and rapid development of the national economy, we must implement Scientific Outlook on Development. Holding the World Expo is conducive to promoting China's independent innovation and the optimization and upgrading of industrial institutions; The idea of realizing urban harmony and sustainable development will also promote the transformation of economic development mode and improve the ability of sustainable development.

3. It is beneficial for all countries in the world to understand China culture in a more detailed and comprehensive way, and provides a good opportunity for promoting China culture. At the same time, it also shows China people the colorful splendor of other cultures in the world, so that China people can learn about foreign cultures, customs and customs without going abroad, and improve their knowledge and horizons.

It will greatly promote cultural exchange, trade and technological learning among countries.

The World Expo is held every few years. The registered (also called comprehensive) World Expo has been held every five years since 2000. An Expo can last as long as six months and cost at least several million dollars, but the cost can be reduced by attracting international tourists. During the five-year leisure period of the World Expo, some cities will hold professional exhibitions, and the recognized (also known as professional) World Expo can be held once or twice at any time between the two registered World Expos.

The 39th World Expo in Hanover, Germany in 2000, the 40th World Expo in Nagoya, Japan in 2005, the 20 10 China Shanghai 4 1 World Expo, and the 20 15 Milan World Expo. Expo 2020 will be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Expo 2025 will be held in Osaka, Japan.

The application letter includes the date and theme of the opening and closing ceremonies, and the legal status of the organizing Committee. BIE will inform the governments of member countries of this application and inform them of their intention to participate in the competition within six months from the date of arrival of the notice.

China and the World Expo participated in the World Expo for the first time. China's first participation in the World Expo should have started from the London World Expo in 185 1. Xu Rongcun, a businessman from Guangdong, China, deeply felt that this was a rare opportunity. He quickly ordered someone to select 12 package of "Rongji Lake Silk" managed by himself, urgently transported it to London, and rushed to the World Expo to participate in the exhibition, and consigned it to Britain, and finally stood out.

1873, the Qing government of China organized and sent representatives to the Vienna World Expo in the official name for the first time. Under the special historical background, China's first official participation in the World Expo was handled by foreigners. 1873, the Qing government authorized China Customs to participate in the Expo. At that time, British Hurd served as the General Tax Department of China Customs. That year, he appointed Paula from the Deputy Taxation Office of Guangzhou Customs to represent China in the Vienna World Expo.

1876, China sent representatives from China to participate in the Philadelphia World Expo. This is the first time that the China government has sent its own representative to participate in the Philadelphia World Expo as a country. At that time, the representative of China's industry and commerce was Gui Li. He is a wise, brave, resourceful and courageous China man, but he was overwhelmed by that era. Gui Li wrote a book called "A New Record of Traveling Around the World", which recorded the 1876 Philadelphia World Expo. Although he is the only China person in the China delegation, it is the first time that China people have officially set foot on the World Expo.

Since then, China has participated in many world expositions. Show yourself, go to the world and discover the world through the World Expo.
