1876 Philadelphia Expo: The first time China people sent representatives to participate in the Expo was 1876 Philadelphia Expo. In this Expo, the China Pavilion covers an area of "only 8,000 square feet" and is carefully arranged to attract visitors with strong China characteristics. There is a big wooden archway in the north, with the words "Qing" written on it and couplets, saying, "It is a grand view of eighteen provinces, and its Excellence can be obtained; Celebrate a centenary event, friendship stone. " Cross-approved as "Cherish Our Country". There are 720 boxes of domestic 680/kloc-0 products, with a value of about 202,000 silver. China's silk, tea, porcelain, silk products, sculptures, cloisonne, etc. Ranked first among exhibits in various countries. China, on behalf of Gui Li, wrote "A New Record of Around the World", which recorded the actual situation of the Philadelphia Games. China's things at the party amounted to 720 boxes, worth about two hundred and two thousand pieces of silver. The land of old things is smaller than Japan, which is quite insufficient. This is not because the land in the meeting is uneven. China's original plan was only 8,000 square feet. At first, there were too many unexpected things. The west gate of the Imperial Palace is surrounded by Chile and Peru on the left, Japan, Egypt and Turkey on the right, and Italy, Norway and Sweden on the opposite side. There is a big wooden archway in the north, with the words "Daqing" written on it, and the banner reads "Treasure of Things", and there is also the saying that "the magnificent scenery of eighteen provinces can be obtained, which can celebrate the centennial event of friendship". This is written by De Jun (De) Jean Gui. There are east and west iron gates on both sides, with the yellow land Qinglong flag inserted on them, which is as serious as the official position. Into the archway, there are several cabinets in the middle, eight or nine feet high, imitating the temple style. They are also made of wood, coated with gold, and surrounded by large pieces of glass to store silk and satin, carved teeth, silverware and precious products from various provinces. Left column Wulin Hu observation (Hu) Jingtai gouge out; Right-hand lacquerware, embroidery and mirror screen in Guangdong Province; After all kinds of ebony chairs and couches; After that, he carved wood products, handled customs porcelain and various antiques of Cantonese He Ganchen. Then the window is the business room. Although the place is crowded and well decorated, the more beautiful it is. Everything is made in Chinese style, especially by hand, and none of it is made by machine. Even the wooden frames, cabinets, tables and chairs, furnishings, calligraphy and painting in the office are all foreign. Knowing that officials and people in other countries have never seen them, they all admire their beauty. They say, "Now and then, it is too westernized to know that China people are sensitive." The bungalow outside the south gate lists silk, tea, six cereals and medicinal materials from various provinces, which are also handled by the customs and listed here by the General Hospital. There are more than 700 kinds of medicinal materials, including silk and tea. Foreigners say that they won the championship and are willing to exchange things with others. Covers are all useful products, which can increase knowledge and gain practical benefits, unless they are played well for the sake of pleasing the eyes. Silk, tea, porcelain, silk products, sculpture, cloisonne and other products rank first in all countries, followed by bronzes, lacquerware, silverware and rattan, bamboo, jade and stone tools are rarely questioned. .....

China Pavilion consists of five parts: information superhighway exhibition area, future space exhibition area, modern exhibition area, ancient exhibition area and screen movie. China Pavilion attracts a large number of tourists from all over the world with its unique exterior decoration and rich exhibition contents. China Pavilion is one of the most visited pavilions and one of the five most popular pavilions. Since its opening in June, the museum has been visited by an endless stream of tourists every day, with a total number of visitors exceeding 2.5 million, accounting for about a quarter of the total number of visitors to the World Expo. The audience waiting to visit the China Pavilion is more than 50 meters long, and many people take photos in front of the design of the Great Wall in China. Some tourists who have been to China said that the China Pavilion reminded them of the wonderful time they spent in China, while those who have never been to China showed their yearning for China. An old couple told reporters that they live in Hanover and have visited the World Expo several times. Although they have never been to China, the China Pavilion shows them the long history of China and the past, present and future of China. China Pavilion is divided into five exhibition areas. Liang Xinghua, the representative of the China Pavilion of the World Expo, told reporters that in the "information superhighway" exhibition area, people can learn about China's politics, economy, science and technology, culture and sports through 25 touch computers, while the "space technology exhibition area" mainly introduces China's future space program in a virtual form. The introduction of the Three Gorges Project and the Three-North Shelterbelt is set in the "Ecological Science and Technology Exhibition Area", and the audience interested in China traditional Chinese medicine can learn about it in the "Traditional Chinese Medicine Exhibition Area", while the "screen movie" shows the beautiful natural scenery of China and the great achievements China has made since the reform and opening up. Liang Xinghua also said that after the closing of the World Expo 10, the China Pavilion will remain the gateway to China. It will be turned into the "China Center" in Hanover, a Chinese medicine clinic and Chinese restaurant with the characteristics of China's traditional food culture. The China Pavilion's pavilion day activities filled the Expo with the breath of China. The Chinese restaurant next to the China Pavilion is crowded with people. From time to time, warm gongs and drums, music and applause came from the center of the square. In front of the China Pavilion, the banner with the words "Expo 20 10 in Shanghai, China" has far-reaching implications: the China government has formally submitted an application to the relevant international organizations to hold the Expo 20 10 in Shanghai. "Welcome to China" and "Welcome to Shanghai"-Miss China's pure English welcome speech on the performance stage expressed the aspirations and expectations of the people of China. ((photo:/expo/shexpo/zlsb/zgysbh/images/000741.jpg) Aichi World Expo March 2005: The Expo with the theme of "the wisdom of nature" was held in Aichi, Japan. With the theme of "Nature, City, Harmony-Art of Life", China Pavilion expresses the philosophy of "Harmony between Man and Nature" of China people through the interpretation of profound China culture. With the help of various modern technical means and art forms, it condenses the development process of's 5,000-year civilization and modern city, and shows the harmonious relationship between tradition and modernity, nature and city, leaving a deep impression on the audience. In front of and inside the China Pavilion, image ambassadors selected from all over the country are on duty to welcome guests and introduce the exhibition contents to visitors in fluent English and Japanese. Walking into the museum hall, the main shape of the "Tree of Life" constructed by China traditional rice paper technology combined with modern imaging technology is refreshing. Female musicians from all ethnic groups in China formed the "Sunshine Girl" folk band, playing Chinese folk music enthusiastically, and forming the artistic conception of "harmony between man and nature", which amazed visitors. The second part of the exhibition content of China Pavilion is a 74-meter-long journey of Chinese civilization, which is a large-scale multi-media embossed wall. It condenses and shows the development process of China's 5,000-year-old civilization and modern city in China through typical symbolic language. Many visitors, especially children, are deeply attracted by the abacus, movable type and abacus with interactive function on the embossed wall, and they are reluctant to return. The third part of the exhibition is about the art of life. Several national treasures and modern high-tech products of China in the Han and Tang Dynasties, including the first exhibition abroad, are also introduced. At the same time, three-dimensional animation and phantom are used to reproduce China people's past and present life art scenes. The fourth part, Crystal Film and Television Hall, skillfully shows the development of China's tradition and modernity through three interactive film and television screens. The fifth part is the beautiful rosewood study, the noble traditional rosewood study furniture and sculpture, and the China calligraphy silk paper wall with a thousand characters background, which exudes the powerful charm of China classical culture. It is also used as the welcome room of the China Pavilion. After the China Pavilion opened today, it also welcomed some "distinguished guests". In the morning, China's Ambassador to Japan Wang Yi, Shanghai Vice Mayor Zhou Yupeng, Chairman of the Bureau of International Expositions Wu Jianmin, Secretary-General Luo Cetus, and Governor of Aichi Prefecture Kanda visited the China Pavilion. Governor Kanda also wrote four Chinese characters of "good luck and prosperity" with a brush at the message office to congratulate him. The information desk of Shanghai World Expo, located on the left side of China Pavilion Hall, is also a place of special concern for tourists. Many people lined up to get the introduction materials and promised to visit Shanghai then. Wu Jianmin, the chairman of the Bureau of International Expositions, who visited here, thinks that the theme of this Expo is quite good, and pavilions of various countries have expressed the theme of "natural wisdom" with their own national characteristics and wisdom. In addition to distinctive national traditional features, the exhibition of China Pavilion also gives people a strong color of self-confidence. Luo Cetus, secretary-general and veteran of the Bureau of International Expositions, said that he was deeply impressed by the contents of the China Pavilion, which combined tradition and modernity quite well. He can not only see the culture and art of China, but also see the characteristic life scenes of cities around the world. I believe that this place will attract a considerable number of visitors, who will have a strong interest and yearning for the World Expo to be held in China and Shanghai in five years.
