Because of my work, I had to watch CCTV's masterpiece The Rise of Great Powers ten years ago. The main purpose of watching this movie before was to kill time or simply have some fun. Now watching this movie, I hope to interpret it from a more professional perspective and hope to have a better summary of the road to the rise of great powers.
As a successful documentary, The Rise of Great Powers is ingenious in the layout of the whole film. Careful friends may find that from the beginning of the first episode to the end of the twelfth episode, countless questions run through each episode. For example, in the first episode of Ocean Times, when describing the Portuguese daydream about the ocean world, he wrote: Is the world really like Ptolemy's description? Is the Atlantic really navigable? The huge question mark tortured the European continent and burned Prince Enrique, who was obsessed with geography and navigation strategy.
This way of description or elaboration can be seen in every episode. It is in this way that the audience's appetite is effectively aroused and the story is more logical. In fact, setting buttons at different levels is a very important way for documentaries to tell stories. It is not only used in documentaries, but also common in movies. The reason is naturally due to human desire for the unknown, which seems to be an instinct of human beings.
? Set different levels of buttons? Help documentaries to better promote the rhythm, but strict logic can only guarantee that a film will not be badly beaten, but it cannot guarantee that it will look good. For the audience, a documentary should first look good, and then pay attention to its logic and other aspects. Therefore, it is particularly important to choose a narrative method that is suitable for the audience and can make the audience feel the same.
? The woman in the oil painting who is decorated with a giant skirt hoop, a stiff wrinkled collar, wide sleeves and embroidered with gold veil is Elizabeth I, the ruler of Britain at that time. Under the complicated clothes, the figure of women disappeared, and people remembered a solemn and arrogant kingship idol. ? This is the third episode of The Rise of Great Powers: the chapter of modernization. Here, the film is centered on Queen Elizabeth, who is a key figure in British modernization. Tell a series of sensational events through a vivid character, which we can call? See the big from the small? In fact, for the audience, the magnificent history is just a thing that happened in the past, or it is a story after all. For many modern people, it is hard for us to imagine a series of difficult problems that have been easily solved today, such as the difficulty of revolution and the crisis of survival, under the historical conditions at that time. Therefore, people, only people's stories, are more likely to resonate with people and the audience.
In the story of the rise of great powers, history has never been a cold oil painting. On the contrary, other buddhas are stories that happened before our eyes. This is the potential to start a prairie fire through a small person and a single spark in a place.
Of course, the success of a big country has many factors. Cctv's own platform is incomparable, and the national resource mobilization ability is unimaginable for general institutions, but it is a good film.
After talking about the method of documentary storytelling, maybe we can talk about the content of the film itself. Great powers, rising. When these two words appear on the screen at the same time, I believe everyone in China has a special taste. Historically, China was once an unparalleled power in the world, and its splendid ancient civilization made great contributions to the historical process of mankind. However, in modern times, once brilliant feudalism became a stumbling block to China's progress, and China's development was once stagnant, and it was left far behind by western countries. Since the war, China has been ravaged, humiliated and almost dismembered by western powers. Many historians describe the modern history of China as a history of humiliation. That was at that time? Sick man of East Asia? As a synonym for China, the status of China people naturally plummeted.
Since the second half of the 20th century, China has gradually achieved national independence and national unity. The magnificent reform and opening-up movement has created an unparalleled development miracle in China. Today, China has got rid of the "sick man of East Asia" and become a force to be reckoned with on the international stage.
With the strengthening of national strength, the heart of a big country buried in the hearts of Chinese people has also been revealed. From the top leadership of China to the local people, no one will doubt China's ability to become a world power, which seems to have become a tacit state of mind. At this point in time, the broadcast of The Rise of Great Powers has far-reaching and significant significance.
The nine world powers in the film have different paths to rise. Portugal and Spain dominate the ocean by virtue of their first-Mover advantage in realizing national reunification. Holland is famous for its developed industry and commerce. Britain first established the capitalist system of constitutional monarchy, which provided institutional guarantee for economic development; France liberated human nature with profound thoughts and called on people to emancipate their minds and pursue freedom; Germany moved from division to unification and established a unified domestic market, which laid the foundation for economic take-off; Russia began the top-down czar reform by relying on the powerful monarchy; Japan has always insisted on interacting with the strong, and finally walked in the forefront of the world; The United States got rid of the historical burden and started its own development path.
So, what did the rise of China and China depend on? We have to know, but one thing is clear: can we simply learn from the lessons of the rise and fall of great powers? Obviously, countless historical experiences tell us that it is not. Then, what talents, technologies, systems, mechanisms, market potential, national quality and humanistic spirit can China be among the best?
? A Review of The Rise of Great Powers
The book The Rise of Great Powers, written by several famous professors in China, has more than 400,000 words. On the basis of respecting historical facts, this paper describes, in the form of historical stories, the course of nine countries, namely Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia and the United States, competing for the center of the world stage since the 5th century.
From the perspective of politics, economy, ideology, religion, art, military and diplomacy, this paper makes an all-round and in-depth analysis of the success or failure of the rise and fall of great powers, condenses the historical experience and lessons of the rise of world powers, and tries to find the future strategy of China's peaceful development, which has a very positive role in promoting today's fast-developing China.
Portugal and Spain, both small countries in size and population, became the first generation of world powers through maritime exploration and colonial plunder; The Netherlands, which took the lead in establishing the capital market and credit system, has created a rich global history with developed commercial trade; With its unique ideological and cultural influence and idealistic pursuit, France has always been among the powerful countries. Britain achieved social change in a moderate and gradual way, took the lead in realizing modern industrialization through the power of scientific and technological innovation, and dominated the world for two centuries.
Germany vigorously develops science and technology education, realizes national reunification and becomes a powerful country in a short time; Japan, once closed to the outside world, attached importance to learning advanced western systems and technologies and became the only world power in the East at that time. Russia's reform plan is strong, especially the former Soviet Union opened a new era of human history with brand-new ideology and social system, and its national strength reached its peak. The United States enjoys a superior geographical position. By rapidly absorbing European scientific and cultural achievements, it has become a superpower with a relatively complete and mature democracy and legal system and an innovative spirit that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in just two hundred years.
Tell legendary historical stories and look back at the meaningful history of the rise and fall of great powers. Reason and passion agitate each other. Comparison between history and reality, comparison between review and prospect. The unique development trajectories of the nine great powers in different periods are vivid, and a profound analysis of the rise of great powers is unique and refreshing.
Through the study of this book, I have a more comprehensive understanding of the development process of world powers and realized the regular trend of the rise and fall of great powers. China has a long history of 5,000 years and a solid foundation for accommodating other cultures. To achieve national rejuvenation and the rise of great powers, we must first integrate into the whole world. On the road to a strong country, we must maintain a comprehensive balance between hard and soft, and no element can be neglected. For China, the prosperity of the country is just around the corner.
A Review of The Rise of Great Powers
The great geographical discovery around the year 1500 has opened the historical curtain of dialogue and competition among different countries, and the road to the rise of great powers has global coordinates. Over the past 500 years, there have been nine world powers in the world. The story of the rise and fall of great powers has left its own unique development path and experience, which inspires today and affects the future.
Finished reading it? The rise of great powers? This documentary 12 episode reviews the road to the rise of great powers and the modern history of China. I'm really touched. I also thought of several questions: what is the answer to the rise of great powers? What kind of country is a big country? Is China a big country at present? Is GDP the best measure of economic situation? What patriotism should young people in the new century establish and how to establish patriotism?
So what is the answer to the rise of a big country marked by economic prosperity and people's well-being
The progress of ideology and culture blew the horn of the rise of great powers.
British Prime Minister Churchill said: We would rather lose an India than lose Shakespeare. ? It is with Shakespeare's literature, Newton's mechanics and Adam Smith's economics and other ideological and cultural progress that Britain has emerged as a big country. Throughout the world, the rise of great powers is due to the renewal of theoretical concepts and the progress of ideology and culture, which is the clarion call for the rise of great powers.
The rise of social revolution has promoted the pace of the rise of great powers.
The rise of great powers has experienced various pains. It is an indisputable fact that social changes and wars at home and the struggle for political democracy in the two world wars have created the rise of great powers. Where is the Soviet Union? World War I? And the rise after the civil war overthrew the tsar; The United States is in civil war and. World War II? After the rise. It can be seen that social revolution is the locomotive to push forward history, people demand that democracy is the driving force for the rise of great powers, and war is the only way for the rise of great powers.
The innovation of economic system has opened the way for the rise of great powers.
The construction of British market economy system, the introduction of American anti-monopoly policy and the implementation of Soviet new economic policy are all top-down economic system innovations. Market economy is not without plan, and planned economy can't adapt to the needs of economic development without market mechanism, keep pace with the times, and constantly change production relations to meet the liberation and development of productive forces, which is an important way to open up the rise of great powers.
The development of science and technology lays the foundation for the rise of great powers.
In the past 500 years, the world has experienced three industrial revolutions, represented by steaming, electrification and informatization respectively. The invention, creation and popularization of these technologies are important factors for the rise of great powers. Facts can completely prove that science and technology are the primary productive forces. Without science and technology, there would be no rise of great powers. Therefore, attaching importance to science and education has become the consensus of all countries in the world. The fact that there are 4,000 universities in the United States is enough to show the prominent position and important role of education and science and technology in the rise of great powers.
Carrying forward the national spirit opens a chapter in the rise of great powers.
The rise of any great country wants to seek the position of world hegemony and adjust the world pattern from the interests of its own country and nation, so the national spirit plays an important role in the rise of great countries. The national spirit of self-improvement and standing among the nations of the world has written a new chapter for the rise of great powers. Of course, national interests and global interests are closely linked, and the closer they are, the more crucial they are. Just as Germany questioned the greatness of the world, torturing the world ended in failure. Therefore, national interests are also worldwide. Without global interests, there is no way out for national interests.
What kind of country is a big country? The rise of great powers has the same characteristics: advanced science and technology guide and accelerate economic development, enhance military strength with strong economic strength, and deter the world with strong military strength. Then it is obvious that only countries with healthy and strong economic strength, strong military strength and prominent political status are big countries. Now many people are talking about GDP, and China's GDP. Indeed, China's GDP growth rate of 8% or even as high as 10% is enviable, but China's economy is not healthy and balanced. Before 1840, China's GDP was one third of the world's, but what happened? Even before the Sino-Japanese War, it was six times that of Japan, but the Sino-Japanese War was such a shame. Some people may ask why the United States and Japan are strong and have nothing to do with GDP. No, it is, but what matters is their industrial structure. Let's have a look. What is the composition of GDP in the United States? Aerospace, shipbuilding, steel, biotechnology and modern agriculture. What about Japan? Steel, electrical appliances, cars. Look at China. Textile and simple manufacturing are no different from tea and ceramics in the Qing Dynasty. What kind of country is strong and what kind of country can be invincible in the ever-changing international situation depends on whether a country can turn its economy into violence in a shorter and faster time. In general, it is whether your money can be exchanged for more and more advanced armed forces. Obviously, only a country with a heavy industry system supported by advanced science and technology can do it. Because in the world political arena, there are only eternal interests and no eternal friends. At the critical moment, you have to rely on yourself. Now China is still trading 30 million pairs of pants for other people's planes. Who will exchange with you in a real war? Even if you can, is the price of that plane still the same? Is it really necessary to cast a new Great Wall with our blood, as sung in the national anthem? Being strong does not mean being fat. Besides, China's fat still uses other people's fat.
So, what should we do as contemporary college students? In fact, it has long been clearly written in our meditation book. Some people may say why I always talk about my motherland. This is not that. It's good to be abroad. Is it worshipping foreign things and flattering foreign countries? No, it's not. Be prepared for danger in times of peace is the quality of a country and a famous nation. Meng Ziyun: Born in sorrow and died in happiness. I think that only when we always see our own shortcomings and see the advantages of others can we have our own direction of struggle and come from behind. As people say in the newspaper, the wolf is coming. Have you got a shotgun ready?
The review of the rise of great powers has been changing for thousands of years. Various countries have drawn colorful symbols in the history of world civilization. And a documentary I watched recently brought the wonderful content back to my eyes. It is the documentary "The Rise of Great Powers". The Rise of Great Powers interprets the rise and fall of great powers in the past 500 years from a historical perspective and a global perspective, and explores the reasons behind it. The pattern of the world always changes quietly with the rise of great powers. We can see that the journey of major countries will eventually fluctuate with the change of the situation.
After watching this documentary, I feel that if China had not been arrogant and closed to the outside world, there would have been no foolish idea of going to China. The feudal ideology of the people was broken as soon as possible, and the power of the country was condensed as soon as possible. Then can our country become strong as soon as possible?
This film mainly tells the process of nine great powers dominating the world. /kloc-In the 5th century, Spain and Portugal, the first two countries in Europe, embarked on a voyage of adventure with the support of their countries. After unremitting efforts, Diaz da Gama and other navigators set sail from the Atlantic Ocean to the south, bypassing the Cape of Good Hope and reaching India.
When Magellan completed his first voyage around the world, the originally divided world was finally discovered geographically and connected into a complete world power, while Portugal and Spain reached their peak in the first half of the16th century in mutual competition and became the first generation of world powers, but these two empires, which developed rapidly by plunder, quickly declined.
The Netherlands is a small country, relying on ships and commercial reputation to conduct maritime trade on tidal lakes. They established the earliest company in the world, the East India Company. Monopoly of global trade is called sea coachman.
At that time, China, the sword and shadow in the battle of the Three Kingdoms, continued to interpret the story of great men. The prosperity of Ming and Qing dynasties inherited the elegance of Tang and Song poetry, and we gradually became lonely in a nihilistic prosperity. Be left behind by the historical trend.
Britain is a small island country, and its home is surrounded by the sea, which is beneficial for it to obtain maritime trade. The enlightened Queen Elizabeth I and the decentralization of manor created a relatively stable environment for British overseas trade. Since then, Britain has completed the primitive accumulation of capital.
To sum up, the rise of these four countries is inextricably linked with overseas trade. In overseas trade, they have completed the primitive accumulation of capital, and the necessary China is implementing strict maritime ban, which is tantamount to pushing themselves into the abyss of defeat. It belongs to the west from now on.
After the first industrial revolution, the gap between the west and the east was completely widened, and the so-called great power diplomacy had to be abandoned at this time. Began to imitate the west that I once despised.
Some countries that used to shine on the stage have gradually become mediocre, while some humble supporting roles have just emerged. Only by keeping up with the trend of historical times and seizing every opportunity can our country be in an invincible position. Really become an excellent big country.
