After reading a famous book, I believe you have grown a lot of insight, so you may want to sit down and write a good after-reading. You want to think about how to write after reading? The following is what I have organized for you after reading the rise of a great nation essay (selected 6), just for reference, welcome to read.
The Rise of the Great Powers 1The Rise of the Great Powers, with a historical perspective and global vision, interprets the history of the 1500s, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and other nine countries have successively dominated the world, and increasingly become a superpower, analyzing the rise and fall of the great powers of the success or failure from a variety of perspectives, such as political, economic, ideological, religious, artistic, military, diplomatic, etc., and exploring the reasons behind their rise and fall. It analyzes the successes and failures of the great powers from various angles, including political, economic, ideological, religious, artistic, military and diplomatic, and explores the reasons behind their prosperity. The "great world powers" in this book are not great powers in the sense of population and area, but countries with global influence that emerged after history "became the history of the whole world". Of course, there are historians who believe that the only real "world powers" to date have been the Netherlands, Britain, and the United States. We now see that these "great powers" have several **** the same point:
First, there is a history of foreign expansion, and now some countries are still sparing no effort to foreign expansion of Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and other countries to trade where the guns to where, where the power to expand to where, so that the world has become their The United States now has troops stationed in more than 50 places outside its home territory, making it the "world's policeman".
Second, the former world domination, global colonial rule, including economic colonization and colonization of the field of cultural awareness in history, in addition to the mainland of Europe and Antarctica, were once their colonies and semi-colonies, the English language has become the world language, is the United Kingdom, the "Empire of the Sunset" to leave a world of "legacy" most of the "Sunset Empire" left a world of "legacy", and the world has become the world of the "Sunset Empire". "Most developing countries have not yet repaired the wounds left by the colonization.
Third, all have experienced the overthrow of feudal kingship or colonial rule of the bourgeois revolution;
Fourth, in the industrial, scientific and technological, educational, cultural, military and social reforms have had a prominent performance;
The first industrial revolution, the emergence of mechanical manufacturing; the second industrial revolution, the application of electronics, and now the third industrial revolution, the real modern meaning of the university etc. all originated first in the above-mentioned large countries. They developed and implemented the world standard of economic activity, the Netherlands appeared in the world's first stock market, the United Kingdom implemented the global free economy, the United States in the discovery of the free economy to produce problems, the government intervened in the economy, so that the invisible hand and visible hand at the same time play a role in the rescue of the capitalist economic crisis.
Fifth, the birthplace of world warsIn all of the world's larger wars since the age of thermobaric weapons, these world powers have either been the planners of the wars, or the manipulators behind the scenes, or direct participants in the wars, and it is in the major areas of unrest now that there are U.S. soldiers all over the place.
In any case, the reason for the emergence of the world's major powers is multi-dimensional, is the development of the country's strength to a certain extent after the outward appearance of the strength mainly includes economic strength, military power, cultural tension, etc., but in the eyes of the scholars, they believe that the strength of the world's major powers mainly manifested in the culture, the institutional aspects. Today, China is on the road to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. How can China, with its large population and long history, learn from the successful experiences of foreign countries? Several generations of Chinese leaders have repeatedly emphasized that for our development, we should absorb and learn from the fruits of civilization of all mankind. So, in the process of China's modernization, with what kind of mindset and attitude should we look at the countries that once led the world in modern history? What kind of experience and lessons can be drawn from China's peaceful development? How should we recognize China? How should we look at the world?
The liberation of ideas was the precursor. An important factor in the success of the British Industrial Revolution was the establishment of Protestantism as the dominant religion in Britain, which liberated people from the rigidity of their imprisoned ideas. A number of great scientists were born, and Watt and Newton were their outstanding representatives. Britain was able to hold a state funeral for Newton, who was of humble origins, with members of the royal family and princes personally carrying his coffin. This was unimaginable in other European countries with strict hierarchies at that time, not to mention China. Why was Britain the only country where the Industrial Revolution took place, when the economy was in dire need of new technologies for its rapid development? It was the relatively open and free religious environment in Britain that provided a loose space for the birth of outstanding scientists. It was only because of this that these new and innovative scientists were not burned as heretics. If Watt's experiments on the universal vaporizer had been treated as a challenge to God by the fanatical religious community; if the tragedy of Jalilio had landed on Watt, would there have been an industrial revolution in Britain? Reform of the system is the key, more than a hundred years ago, the United States of America's cannons opened the closed doors of Japan; how similar is this to the situation in China? When the emperor of China was still drunk in the Forbidden City, Japan not only sent a large number of foreign students to study abroad. Japan's ultimate goal was to make the wise choice of leaving Asia and joining the European powers, finding a partner for its own rise. Japan's hundred years of restoration has made itself the third most powerful country in the world economy, and Japan's strong experience is most worthy of China's reference.
Reform of the system can not be achieved overnight, Tsar Peter I, Empress Ekaterina II was originally the most powerful promoter of the reform of the Russian system, but when the reform to a certain stage, the reform is bound to offend the interests of these people, at this time he (she) are at the same time coincidentally become the opponents of reform. For their own interests, at the expense of burying the country's decades of reform achievements. How to use the system to constrain the vested interests of the reform, to prevent them from becoming the opposition to the continuation of the innovation, which is the key to ensure that the innovation continues to success.
King William III of Luxembourg once said, "It is precisely because of poverty that education is needed." Twenty-nine scientists have been crowned Nobel Prize winners at the Humboldt University of Berlin alone in a country where education is universal. No wonder Mauch, the Chief of the German General Staff, said proudly long ago, "Germany's victory has long been decided on the podiums of schoolchildren!"
In the past, under the influence of the European bourgeoisie enlightenment, there was a "Kang Liang Reform" in China, but it was suppressed by the stubborn "Old Buddha". Later, inspired by the Western democratic ideology of "liberty, equality and fraternity", Dr. Sun Yat-sen finally launched a revolution to put an end to China's feudal society and put forward the progressive ideology of the "Three Principles of the People", which was followed by the "May Fourth Movement" in 1919. "The May Fourth Movement in 1919 was a movement advocating a new culture. Chen Duxiu proposed to invite "Mr. De" (democracy) and "Mr. Sai" (science) to save China. The "October Revolution" in Russia brought the theory of Marxism-Leninism to China, which further promoted the Chinese revolution. It can be seen that these "big cultures" and advanced ideas are the torches that lead the progress of society, and the "software" that drives the social machine to run fast. Without these advanced cultures, there would not be a new China today.
Looking back at the 500 years of the development of the world's major powers, weighing the rise of 12 major powers of the key factors, some of these factors are obviously coincidentally worthy of attention: emphasis on science and education, the establishment of a political and economic system suitable for the country's national conditions, and good at learning, but never simply imitate the path of other countries, and so on. Therefore, China can only truly realize the dream of a strong nation if it attaches importance to education, improves the quality of its people, draws on the experience of other countries, mobilizes the people's enthusiasm, and strives to promote the development of the economy and continuously improve the people's living standards.
The Rise of Great Powers After Reading 2After reading the book "The Rise of Great Powers", it is difficult to calm my thoughts. Today, the world has entered the era of globalization, and the new technological revolution represented by information technology is on the rise. We, China, are also standing at a new starting point, but reading about the rise and fall of several great powers over the centuries is of vital importance to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. These nine great powers have had direct contact with China over the past two hundred years, and there are some painful memories to look back on. But the tide of history is moving forward. Today's world is an open and inclusive one, and the tide of economic globalization is rolling forward. To realize national rejuvenation and the rise of China as a great power, it is imperative for China to integrate into the world. The concepts of reform and opening up, institutional innovation, scientific development, and a harmonious society have all injected vivid power into China's development in the new century. These are both the lessons that China has learned from the prosperity of past powers and the lessons that it has learned from the decline of certain powers.
Listening to history is a great wisdom. Looking back at the great powers, let history illuminate our future journey. More than five hundred years ago, mankind through the sea to build a real world stage, the size of the strong and weak countries have performed their roles on this stage. Although China has suffered from the ravages of the great powers and all kinds of tribulations in modern times, China's rise today is on the road of peaceful development, China does not claim hegemony and will never invade or threaten other peoples. Twenty-first century, the world trend of one thing is certain: the establishment of permanent peace, equality and harmony among all nations and peoples, *** with the prosperity of a harmonious world, will be the direction of mankind *** with the pursuit!
The Rise of the Great Powers 3The Rise of the Great Powers tells the story of the successive rise of nine world-class powers: Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, and the United States. Exploring the reasons behind their prosperity, we need to explore our own path to power.
Review the development of each of the world powers over the past 500 years and discuss the key factors behind the rise of great powers. A single factor must be wrong, but there are some ****same factors that deserve attention: the need to form a unified force, the importance of the prosperity of ideas and culture, the importance of science and education, and the ability to learn well but never simply imitate the path of other countries.
How did the Netherlands, a small country in northwestern Europe, the size of two and a half Peking, become king in the 17th century?
In the tide of the wetlands and lakes, to fishing herring began to engage in re-export trade, they designed a cheaper ship, relying on favorable geographical location and good business reputation, and gradually from the middleman into the ocean voyage fighter. The increasingly wealthy Dutch citizens bought the autonomy of cities from the nobility and established a United Provinces **** and State that fully protected the rights of merchants. They set up the world's first joint stock company - East India Company, monopolized half of the global trade at that time; they built the world's first stock exchange, the capital market was born; they took the lead in founding the modern bank, invented a credit system used to this day. Due to natural factors such as land area, although the end of the 17th century, the Netherlands gradually lost the hegemony of the world. But to this day, the Dutch people are still rich, and the rules of commerce created by the Dutch still influence the world.
The road to becoming a rich and powerful country, the Qing dynasty rulers of the "closed country" is certainly not desirable, trying to rely on war to break and rebuild the world pattern, has proved to be the result of the opposite. The rise and fall of Germany is the best example. We do not know where the changes of the 21st century will take the great powers, but one thing is certain, the establishment of permanent peace, *** with the prosperity of a harmonious world, will be the direction of human *** with efforts.
The Rise of the Great Powers After Reading 4The Netherlands, in the tide-infested wetlands and lakes, to fishing herring began to engage in entrepot trade, they designed a cheaper ship, relying on the favorable geographical location and good business reputation, and gradually from the intermediary into the ocean voyage of the fighters, the Dutch people of these creative approach to make them become a distribution center of the commodities of the time. They kept their reputation, developed many new routes, and monopolized the `maritime trade of Europe at that time. Comparing with other European countries which were under the centralized monarchical power at that time, the rule of Holland was very decentralized, which was ruled by the King of Spain at first, and later got the rule of the Queen of England, but the self-confident Dutch found that the rulers of these countries were insatiable, and the seven provinces at that time then united to set up a decentralized **** and state, a **** and state represented by merchants and intellectual elites.
There are also countries and regions that act as accomplices to high-level looters, so although the initial stage is not democratic enough, but can "share a little soup outside, rob a little inside", development, and then may realize the democratic transition, the only bad thing is to rely on other people to rise, but also have to look at other people's faces to eat, and once in a while you have to be the boss of the robbers. once in a while (such as the middle developed countries in Europe, the four little dragons of the past, etc.). This is the branching stage of robbery.
The rise of a strong country must first awaken the overall desire of the whole nation. In short, the rise of any country is not just a matter of resting and recuperating, but also of learning that the minds of top decision-makers must not be left behind. Although Germany and Japan are defeated countries, also suffered a devastating blow, but they already have advanced social institutions, so in the post-war decades and can quickly recover, is still the world's strongest country.
First of all, I think that the book is pitiful, although there are 130KB so big e-books, but the name is called "The Rise of the Four Great Powers", that includes China, India, Russia, Brazil, the so-called "BRIC" ah, but the content of the book only includes China and India; the conclusion is that the "E-book Alliance" is not the same as the "E-book Alliance". "Ebook Alliance" pit people, because I did not register, so many of the previous download of e-books lack of key data, and now the lack of content, never mind, I do not look into it, because those data is not very useful to me; lack of content in this regard, at least I have a better understanding of the advantages of China and India. In general, China is more advantageous in manufacturing, in the secondary industry; India is more advantageous in services, belonging to the tertiary industry.
First, China for China, mainly the role of cheap labor.
There is a large amount of cheap labor, as long as there is a wage to get, he / they do not mind doing what work; and then it is the attraction of the government to attract investment in a variety of preferential terms of attraction, and even some foreign investors claimed that they are zero-cost to build factories; there is also the step-by-step improvement of the infrastructure in these years. These enterprises in China can now do OEM processing, until the time is ripe, and then create their own independent brand, and then coupled with R & D and modern cash business management model, I believe that the future prospects for development is still very promising; but this is to be built on the ideological awareness of the business owners above. Because now the market terminal consumption is not a visible product, is a variety of services; take the product, simple pure water, with a brand to sell, sell the price will be high, "Wahaha", "Master Kong" brand image is good, in some places will be able to Wahaha", "Master Kong" good brand image, in some places will be able to sell to 1.5 yuan per bottle, Coca-Cola's "Ice Dew" can only be sold to 1 yuan a bottle of pure water produced by those regional small factories is also only sold to 1 yuan a bottle. Therefore, the brand is very important. At the beginning of those American, Japanese, European enterprises in China to set up processing plants are only some sunset industry products, but later they found that their factories can only relocate their factories to China, because in this way they are more profitable, they do not want to set up factories in China due to the competition, which led to the rival product prices than their own much lower, which is in order to their own survival. Slowly some high-tech products are also slowly entering China for processing. This not only increases the number of jobs in China, but also allows Chinese enterprises to have the opportunity to learn, but the United States, Japan, Europe, these countries due to the loss of processing opportunities, more people face unemployment. Summarize: China has these learning opportunities, or to slowly build their own products, otherwise it can only stand in the lowest end of the industrial chain; there is if those foreign industries do not withdraw, then slowly in certain areas to form the phenomenon of industrial agglomeration, for domestic enterprises to create with good opportunities. For example, Shenzhen's cell phone manufacturing, Foshan's small home appliance manufacturing, Wenzhou's leather, lighters, Ningbo's garment manufacturing, Yiwu's small commodity agglomeration, Guangzhou, Shanghai's automobile manufacturing, Hefei's household appliances manufacturing, Tianjin's display manufacturing, Quanzhou, Fujian, and Chongqing's laptop production.
Two, IndiaIndia's rise is mainly in the service sector.
For example, General Electric outsourced its consulting services to India, at a cost of only 1/3 of that in the United States; Intel outsourced its chip design to India, not only low-cost, high efficiency; part of Silicon Valley outsourced the software programming aspects of the business to India; India, one of the more far-sighted people, set up a high-quality service hospital, a certain The medical cost of an operation costs $4,000, plus a round-trip plane ticket between the U.S. and India, which costs just $7,000, while the operation requires $20,000 in expenses in the U.S. This has led to a lot of medical trips because the same high-quality medical care can save a lot of money in India. As India has more English-speaking people and graduates 3 million college students per year, compared to China's 2.5 million, India has more highly skilled people and government encouragement, making it the preferred location for outsourcing services. In summary: India's medical tourism is worth learning; there is also the university education with the times is also worth learning; due to our mother tongue is not English, so it is difficult to learn the information service industry.
The Rise of the Great Powers After Reading 6In this week, I read the book "Elementary School Students Take a Step Ahead in Reading History - Getting Close to the Great Ming". Originally, I didn't know much about the Ming Dynasty, and the book "Close to the Great Ming" told me all about the Ming Dynasty, so that I have a lot of knowledge about the Ming Dynasty.
Ming Dynasty (1368--1644), he is in decline to lively, open dynasty, China's two thousand years of feudalism at this time ushered in the maturity of the deconstruction. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, capitalism sprouted, the old ideology began to disintegrate, the people were relatively free, and there were more new things. 14th century, Zheng He went to the West China Sea to create a new era of human navigation, the Ming Dynasty cabin industry, the military might, once shocked the far west, the Ming Dynasty fleet of ships will be the sea route to push the Arabian Peninsula and the east coast of Africa. However, after Zheng He, the Ming government subawarded the policy of sea ban, turned its back on the sea, and was not interested in the sea; the Ming dynasty also missed the opportunity to take the initiative to develop and build up maritime superiority. Even so, Ming Dynasty was still the most powerful dynasty in the world at that time, she has many firsts: the first land area, the first arable land area, the world's first population, the world's first broken production, the world's first silver possession, the world's first number of armies and so on. See these dazzling first, you must also want to understand the Ming Dynasty, then listen to me say.
Speaking of the Ming Dynasty, we have to talk about Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. Zhu Yuanzhang, he was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. After I read his story, I felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was so cruel and brutal, but after I read the article "Zhu Yuanzhang chopped off his son-in-law with tears", I have a different feeling. During the reign of Hongwu, he sent his son-in-law Ouyang Lun on a mission to the West. Ouyang Lun and his entourage from Kyoto, it did not take long to Changan, he heard people say, the people of the western region, "would rather have a day without food, not a day without tea," and Bashu tea in the western region is very popular. So Ouyang Lun thought: why not take advantage of the position, selling tea, a great deal of money! At that time, the people of the western region in order to get tea, you have to use the local specialties to do the exchange. Ming Dynasty in order to control these places, issued a decree, strictly prohibit the private sale of tea. However, Ouyang Lun, relying on his imperial authority, encouraged people to sell tea. Whenever he went to a place, he used his power, and some local officials got angry and sued Zhu Yuanzhang. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant, he issued a royal decree to kill Ouyang Lun. After I read this story, I felt that Zhu Yuanzhang had killed his relatives in order to govern the country well and to build up a team of disciplined and honest officials. It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang treated both the officials and the imperial family equally, and did not punish the officials for their mistakes just because they were imperial family members. Emperor Yongle, also known as Zhu Di of Ming Dynasty, was a very important figure in Chinese history. He conquered the desert north and the peaceful south, opened up the Western Ocean, repaired the Grand Ceremony, built Beijing, and created a "Yongle Shengshi" (the Golden Age of Yongle). However, the other side of Zhu Di was murderous and ruthless, especially when he brutally killed the surviving ministers of Zhu Yunzhu, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Is Zhu Di a brilliant ruler with outstanding achievements, or is he a murderous tyrant?
When I read the story about Zhu Di, I felt that he was the emperor of good and evil, talent and power, treachery and majesty. The Ming Dynasty, with its great technological culture and the four great talents of Jiangnan led by Tang Pak Fu, but I feel more ashamed of the eunuchs who sold the emperor to the enemy!
