"The Rise of Great Powers" is a large-scale historical documentary released by CCTV, which tells the story of how some modern world powers changed from weak to rising and then became world powers.

Although this program has just been broadcast for four days, the ratings are already high. I was deeply touched by the episode "The Rise and Development of Britain".

The prosperity of the British empire began in the era of Elizabeth I, but the country really reached its peak from the industrial age.

Some people commented that Newton found the "key" to enter the industrial age, Watt used the "key" to open the door of the industrial age, while Adam Smith advocated the market economy law of free trade.

Yes, Newton discovered Newton's laws of mechanics, which changed people from superstitious theology to advocating science, solved the problem that we now think is "very retarded", let people know how the world works, and quietly told people at that time that the industrial age is coming soon.

Watt invented the steam engine and announced to people that the industrial age had arrived.

Adam Smith discovered the "invisible hand" of the free market, which made people clearly realize that the essence of the industrial age is the free market economy of socialized mass production.

In the industrial age of18th century, Britain led Britain to the stage of becoming a world power, and also made great changes in the world.

The program "The Rise of Great Powers" is really a good place to increase knowledge and expand wisdom.

Since modern times, nine countries have appeared on the world stage in different historical periods, which have had a great impact on the development of human society.

They are: Portugal, Spain, Netherlands, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia and the United States.

165438+1October 13 to 24th, 12 large-scale TV documentary "The Rise of Great Powers" was grandly launched on CCTV Economic Channel, and a set of 8-volume series with the same name was also released simultaneously.

This is the first large-scale TV documentary about the history of a world power produced by China CCTV.

Today's China is on the road to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The prosperity of China with a vast territory, a large population and a long history will create a great event in the history of human development.

This process is also profoundly changing China society and affecting the world pattern.

In modern times, after 160 years of catching up, the world once again heard the voice of China; After the founding of New China, especially the great changes in the past 30 years of reform and opening-up, we can more confidently and calmly explore our own road to becoming a powerful country based on the world.

Several generations of leaders in China have repeatedly stressed that our development should absorb and draw lessons from the achievements of civilization of all mankind.

Then, in the process of China's modernization, what kind of mentality and attitude should we take towards the countries that have led the world trend in modern history? What lessons can we learn from the peaceful development of China?

From June 5438 to1October 065438, 2003, * * the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held the ninth collective study, which attracted wide attention.

The content of the study is:/kloc-the rise and fall history of nine countries in the world since the 5th century.

Since then, other party and government departments at all levels have also carried out research on this history many times.

Based on this social background, CCTV launched 12 TV series "The Rise of Great Powers" to interpret the history of the rise of world powers since15th century and explore the reasons behind its prosperity.

Since15th century, the development of human society has entered a new stage. The originally divided world has truly become a whole, and countries that are separated from each other in the world have begun to know and understand each other, and they have also started to compete with each other.

Since modern times, nine countries have appeared on the world stage in different historical periods, which have had a great impact on the development of human society.

They are: Portugal, Spain, Netherlands, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia and the United States.

The large-scale TV documentary The Rise of Great Powers 12 set is based on the development history of the above nine countries.

The "world power" mentioned in this film is not a big country in the sense of population and area, but a country with global influence after its history has become the history of the whole world.

The rise of great powers provides historical and civilized resources for discussing national development.

The whole film shows the course of the nine countries becoming powerful countries in different ways in different periods, which not only embodies their distinctive and unrepeatable characteristics of the times and national individuality, but also discusses some common laws.

The Rise of Great Powers presents the history of the world's great powers for nearly 500 years to the audience in a three-dimensional and intuitive way.

But it is not a TV textbook aimed at presenting a country's history in an all-round way, nor is it an archaeological documentary aimed at excavating historical details or revealing historical truth; It does not stick to the branch of history, is not civilized, and pays more attention to the thinking that history brings to reality.

For this purpose, a visual history of the rise of great powers in the past 500 years has been completed for the first time in China.

The Rise of Great Powers is the result of cooperation between China TV workers and Chinese and foreign academic circles.

100 More than well-known scholars and former dignitaries from different research fields, such as history, politics, economy, sociology, law, international politics and international relations, were interviewed by this film, which made the film reflect the thinking of experts from various countries on issues related to national development and their understanding of the current world history and reality.

The rise of great powers is a unique perspective provided by China documentaries for people to look back on world history.

The production of this film lasted for three years. The creators not only carried out the long March of thought in the vast history of the nine countries, but also strived for innovation in TV expression techniques.

Over time, a lot of history is still "alive": living in a Gu Lou, a broken site, a remote museum, or living in the daily necessities of local people, living in a long-standing ceremony, and living in the research of experts and scholars.

The film's seven film crews went to Europe, Asia and the United States for in-depth interviews and field shooting, and photographed a large number of historical archives, cultural relics and relics with precious historical value, and obtained a large number of precious first-hand information.

As time goes by, some history disappears forever.

In order to be as close as possible to the distant history of other countries, the film uses computer stunts to restore a large number of important historical moments: the navigation of Portugal and Spain, the huge Dutch merchant fleet, the first world industrial fair in the heyday of Britain, the capture of the Bastille, the first railway station in Germany, the black ship of the United States forcing Japan to establish a country, Peter the Great building St. Petersburg, the Soviet Union discussing the first five-year plan, and the arrival of Mayflower in the United States.

The Rise of Great Powers is a practice for China TV people to show the development of the modern world with the help of TV media.

It tries to find a mirror for the modern development of China from a historical perspective and a global perspective; Trying to stand at the height of the development of human civilization and seek human spiritual wealth as the narrative platform; Trying to find the fundamental force to promote national development in historical changes.

For China, which is in the process of modernization, this film hopes to open its eyes to the people with an open mind; For the world in the wave of globalization, this film is expected to provide thinking for human progress.

Listening to history is a profound wisdom.
