Reflections on the Rise of Great Powers 900 words 1
At different times, only those countries that make correct strategic judgments according to their own national conditions and the needs of the times can gain the favor of history.

Seeing the rise of great powers has given me a real understanding of world history. Based on historical facts, this film describes the course of nine countries, including Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and Britain, from the15th century to dominate the world and become superpowers in 500 years.
But it reminds me of China's pathetic closed-door policy, which led to China's backwardness. Since 1500, European powers have appeared one after another, leading Europe into a new era of being the first in the world. With the improvement of navigation technology 500 years ago, mankind finally has a real world view. There have been colonial powers Portugal and Spain, both of which have the characteristics of early powers. They plundered other countries' resources and enriched their national strength. However, resources are limited, and the consumption of the country and the people is infinite, so it is impossible to develop its own economic characteristics, and ultimately it is impossible to maintain its position as a powerful country in unlimited consumption. This makes us understand that plunder can only be a temporary strength, and the most important thing is to develop our own national economy and stand firm as a world power.
In this book, whether Portugal or Spain on the Iberian Peninsula become the ocean hegemon through ocean exploration, or the business empire founded by the Netherlands with a series of modern financial and commercial systems. These European powers regard commerce and free trade as the basic conditions for the rise of great powers through institutional and institutional innovation, scientific and cultural development. The Netherlands, whose area is only twice that of Beijing, is the first country in the world to establish a stock exchange and a bank credit system. It was the innovation of this economic system that profoundly influenced the modern economy and made such a small country stand out as a world power at that time. Britain's first industrial revolution also made it an "empire that never fell". This undoubtedly tells us that only by continuous innovation can we grasp the initiative and stand in the forest of powerful countries. However, when countries all over the world rose in succession, the Qing government at that time was still backward. During the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He's fleet made seven voyages to the West, not to open up trade, but to publicize the emperor's virtue and prestige. After Zheng He's death, China people disappeared into the ocean. After reading these, I don't think I need to tell my classmates why China lags behind other countries now. And Britain, the Netherlands and other countries are so powerful. The reason is that the development of China is relatively late. But China is developing rapidly, with an annual income of 9.0%. The development of China and the rise of China have aroused the fear of other big countries.
This book is the witness of reading history, which awakens people to think deeply about the future of China. It inspires today and affects the future.
Looking back at the rise of great powers 900 words 2
I remember when I was a student, I skipped classes as soon as I went to China's modern history, and I didn't buy any books about it. The reason is that the content of this course is so miserable that I feel suffocated. Cutting land today and paying reparations tomorrow, one after another, humiliating power and country. This really hurts my self-esteem. Moreover, in the modern history of China written by China people, there is a strong "sad complex". Every word seems to tell the story of China's suffering in the past hundred years with blood and tears, and at the same time, it indignantly condemns the barbarity and irrationality of western powers. This is China people's unique view of history and world. The 12 documentary "The Rise of Great Powers", which is being broadcasted by CCTV, has aroused widespread concern and hot comments. I think the key point is that it positively describes what we call a western column.
The process of the rise of a powerful country challenges the deep-rooted historical and world views of Chinese people.
Why is there a "sad complex"
There are so many "sadness complexes" in China's modern history, which originated from the fact that the closed door of China was knocked down by the western powers' ships and guns since Kangxi, and the dream of China people's paradise was opened by their bombing.
Historically, China has always valued agriculture over commerce, valued land over the sea, defended and attacked heavily, and was self-sufficient, which enabled China to completely solve the problem of self-survival under the condition of closed doors. Coupled with "vast territory and abundant resources", China people have always believed that China is the center of the world, and other ethnic groups are uncivilized. The ethnic group in the east is called Yi, the ethnic group in the west is called Rong, the ethnic group in the south is called Man, and the ethnic group in the north is called De, all of which imply contempt.
Since 1840, such a big country, which has been in Enshi and seldom offended others, has been forced by the west to sign 1000 unequal treaties that humiliated the country for more than a century. Not only did it temporarily or permanently transfer the territory to foreign countries, but it also lost nearly 2 billion taels of silver, and the customs almost handed it over to foreigners. This is indeed a humiliating history that everyone in China can't forget, especially when China almost never took the initiative to provoke anyone but suffered this tragic disaster innocently. China, which was decadent but felt good about itself, was dragged into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society by the great powers, and a lingering "sadness" naturally settled in the hearts of China people for a long time.
Talk less about "sadness" and adjust the view of history
The "sad complex" is understandable. But the question is who is to blame? Today, a hundred years later, what we should do is to tell the tragic experience and accuse the atrocities of the western powers, or to look at the process of the rise of the west in a deeper level and sum up the lessons of that history?
The law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, now looking back at that period of history, there can never be any "equal" treaty between the vibrant west and the decadent Manchu. Whether in nature or in human society, this is a very cruel but unchangeable law.
Great men have talked about this problem. Marx said: "Completely cut off from the outside world was once the primary condition for the existence of old China. When this isolation is destroyed by British atrocities, it will inevitably disintegrate, just as a mummy carefully preserved in a closed coffin will inevitably disintegrate when exposed to fresh air. " The chairman said: "To change the situation of backwardness and beatings, we must break the closed state and open to the outside world. One of the important reasons why China fell behind after the Western industrial revolution was that the feudal rulers at that time adopted a foolish policy of shutting the country out, did not seek progress, could not keep up with the times and could not resist foreign aggression. "
Looking back at the strong rise of those great powers and the weak development of modern China from today's height, it seems that it should be summarized that the factor that caused the historical tragedy of modern China was of course the insolence of western powers, but more importantly, China did not seize the opportunity and embarked on the road of modernization first. History must not be forgotten, but it is not only the glory or suffering, but also the experience and lessons. History needs reflection. What can be reflected is not what others shouldn't have done at the beginning, but why they didn't do it at the beginning, why they didn't seize the historical opportunity and become a world power in advance. Only in this way can we take history as a mirror and revise the road signs of China's future development.

"The Rise of Great Powers" is the first large-scale TV documentary on the theme of the history of world powers by CCTV, and it is a cross-border film. With Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia and the United States as the themes, this film interprets the rising history of these world powers since the15th century and explores the reasons behind their prosperity.
What are the similarities between the reasons for the rise of great powers? These nine countries illustrate some answers:
First, the history of foreign expansion
Two. History of colonial rule
Three. History of bourgeois revolution
Four. History of industrial, scientific, cultural, military and social reforms.
Fifth, it has had a great impact on the modern development of the world.
Compared with China now, our "peaceful rise" is different from theirs. At present, the world is in the process of the third industrial revolution, and the information revolution is the current symbol. Only with the ability of scientific and technological innovation can we win a bigger market, realize the overall improvement of the country and achieve the goal of peaceful rise.
To achieve such a rise, China should learn from the advantages of the rise of other countries, overcome the unfavorable factors and avoid the adverse effects of the rise.
First of all, we should increase investment in education, enhance the competitiveness of talents, and continue to improve the quality of higher education for all.
Although the United States is now affected by the economic crisis, its national strength is gradually declining, the iron and steel industry and heavy industry manufacturing are constantly losing, and the employment pressure is increasing. However, our industry should see that the United States is still in the forefront of scientific and technological innovation and its scientific and technological competitiveness is still very strong. Behind scientific and technological innovation is the strength of its high-tech talent pool. The educational level of American universities is still world-class. The level of higher education in China will rise, and only the rise of education can realize the rise of talent level.
Secondly, we will continue to adhere to the reform and opening up, and the market economy will continue to lead the economic reform, so that China's market will continue to be the engine of the world economy.
In the trauma of the economic crisis, the whole world has been affected to varying degrees. However, the opening of China's market and the potential of expanding domestic demand have become the saviors of all countries. Countries have set up R&D centers and manufacturing bases in China, expecting the economic development of China market and pushing it out of the world crisis. China has also accelerated economic reform, continuously increased economic investment, and promoted the higher development of China's GDP. At present, China has surpassed Japan to become the second largest economy in the world. I think, if there is another 10 year, it is likely to surpass the United States and achieve a new take-off in economic aggregate.
Finally, we should continue to carry out scientific and technological innovation to master the core technology of products. Innovation ability is the embodiment of the current scientific and technological level of various countries. Whether you have core competitiveness depends on whether you have mastered the real core technology. At present, China is in a new stage of scientific and technological innovation, and innovation has become a magic weapon for all enterprises to participate in market competition. Therefore, only by continuously promoting the research and development of core technologies can we gain opportunities in the future.
In short, we should not only learn from the advanced ideas and technologies of other countries' rise, but also proceed from our own reality, formulate a road of rise with our own characteristics and take a road of peace that is different from other countries. The rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will be in the near future. Let our Chinese sons and daughters work hard and embark on a road of peaceful rise with China characteristics.
900 words and 4 reflections on the rise of great powers
In the first episode, I learned to take risks. Spain and Portugal like to explore. In Dali, I often see Spanish families traveling by bike. There are many things to do and try. A Portuguese in Spain dares to explore, challenge the ocean, discover a happy new continent and win the maritime hegemony of the whole school.
Another point is opportunity. If you have a chance, you must seize it. The Portuguese royal family did not accept Columbus' request, but the Spanish royal family did, so they got the whole school to discover the new American continent.
The second episode studied the investment concept and leverage. Invest your time, energy and financial resources to enrich yourself. Learn to leverage, realize the optimal allocation of resources, and borrow the power of others to achieve their own goals. The Netherlands is a small country with few resources, but it will develop itself with the help of external forces and resources from other countries. Dutch people will also invest. They know how to invest, invest some resources, let others work for themselves and create more wealth.
In the third episode, I learned that everything in the world is conservative, just like the Taoist thought I saw recently. If it's too late, yin and yang turn each other. Charles I demanded too much kingship and was guillotined as a result. When one side is too strong, it will turn to the other side to some extent.
In the fourth episode, I understand that the market has no boundaries, so I have to be far-sighted. Britain focuses on the global market and conducts global trade. The whole world is his colony. Africa provides him with labor, America with land resources and Asia with markets.
In the fifth episode, I learned that a country must have its own national culture and national spirit if it wants to stand firm in the world. A person must first have his own independent thoughts, and then be economically independent and be true to himself. Germany has been in a period of division, and the country is not United, and Germany cannot develop. Recent philosophical thinking, the relationship between individuality and * * * in materialist dialectics. The greatness of great men lies in the greatness of ideas.
In the sixth episode, I understand that harmony is the most important thing. This is China's Confucianism, which values harmony and combines the relationship between internal and external factors in the development of things in materialist dialectics.
The importance of education depends on the state's attitude towards education, and a person's development depends on his attitude towards learning. Only by attaching importance to education, developing education and attaching importance to talents can Germany develop.
In the seventh episode, we have learned to apply what we have learned. We should learn from others, not step by step. We should combine other people's things, learn from each other's strengths, and not completely deny ourselves just because others are good. The same is true of the culture of a country. We should take the essence and discard the dross. Keep the essence. Japan followed the footsteps of the West, step by step, not in line with its national conditions, and its development was blocked.
It was not until the eighth episode that I realized that it was not quiet and far-reaching, nor was it indifferent. Learn from the painful experience. Peter I learned from the United States and Britain anonymously, learned real technology and established his own motherland.
The ninth episode learned the importance of planning, that is, goals and plans. A country should have a macro five-year plan, and a person should give himself a life plan, a career plan, an annual, monthly, weekly or even daily plan. With a goal, work towards the set goal. Manage your goals. In the five-year plan of the Soviet Union, the country developed its own economy in an orderly way.
In the tenth episode, I learned about retirement and patents. The next best thing is that heaven is true. This is the content of the ninth chapter of Tao Te Ching, which Washington did.
We should protect our products, including our own material and spiritual products.
The eleventh episode studied macro-control, state intervention in economy and the gap between the rich and the poor. The economic crisis and the Great Depression in the United States are the drawbacks of the self-development of the market economy. The state intervenes in the economy and effectively regulates the economy.
The twelfth episode learned that culture is very important in the development of a country, and a nation should have its own culture. Economic globalization.

In the course of international trade geography, the teacher showed us many programs about the rise of great powers, which left a deep impression on me, especially the rise of Britain, which made me feel a lot. As the future successors of the Chinese nation, we should understand history, learn from it and create the future. The successful rise of Britain is an example for us to learn from. It is our responsibility and task to dare to innovate, challenge the unknown future, seize the opportunity, reform in time, and open up a road conducive to the development of China.
The rise of Britain began in a relatively open religious environment. At this time, some scientists dare to innovate and don't follow the routine. Watt, the inventor of the steam engine, was not criticized by secular religion or obstructed by the royal family at that time. Therefore, such a historical environment provides Watt with the opportunity to freely invent and create in a favorable environment. When his experiment was successful, it was used in industry, which made British industry develop rapidly. As a result, he became the leader of the first industrial revolution and the pioneer of the times, leaving some Asian countries far behind. However, China closed its doors to the outside world, but the outside world made epoch-making progress, and China was still in backward feudal agriculture and basic handicrafts. When a cannon shot opened the door of China, China was only in a position of being beaten, and a series of treaties on occupation of territory and reparations were signed one after another. At that time, China woke up.
1588, when Elizabeth ascended the throne, news came from the English Channel that Spanish and Portuguese navigators had successfully explored and made a fortune. This era is an era of searching for a new continent and becoming a maritime hegemon, which is a challenging opportunity for ambitious Elizabeth and an opportunity to become a maritime hegemon. She thinks that in this era, whoever grabs the initiative and accepts new ideas will grab the position of maritime overlord first, and whoever develops first will become the first power. Since Britain defeated Spain's armada with weak strength, Britain has naturally become the overlord in the Atlantic Ocean, coquettish for hundreds of years.
Also, during the Elizabethan period, she handled the rights and interests of the king and the landlord reasonably, each in his place and doing his duty, which became unwritten law and did his duty. Elizabeth's wisdom and courage have to be admired by us, so that she will never disappear from the memory of the British people, even the people of the world. The prosperity of every country cannot be separated from an enterprising king.
In the era of British economic instability, Elizabeth I saw the potential of the ocean and wisely extended her power to the ocean to enrich the national treasury. Faced with the condemnation of Spain, the maritime overlord at that time, they calmly beat back their fleet and drove away the coachman at sea-Holland, and wrote the history of British navigation from then on. In the face of the relationship with the nobility, I saw the situation of the country clearly, strictly abided by the provisions of the Magna Carta, and was in a delicate balance with the nobility. After Elizabeth's death, England fell into civil war. In that chaotic era, the British people constantly explored a new management system suitable for their own country, and finally implemented a constitutional monarchy after the glorious revolution and embarked on the road of becoming a powerful country.
