Reflections on the Rise of Great Powers in 2022 and Its Enlightenment

The Rise of Great Powers provides us with vivid historical materials from these two aspects, which is of profound educational significance to us. We should learn from their experience and lessons to make our road go smoothly. The following is my review and enlightenment of watching the rise of great powers. Welcome to read!

Reflections on the rise of great powers and its enlightenment 1

By studying history, I learned that Britain was a very powerful country in the Middle Ages, and it was called the empire that never fell. Although it is a capitalist country, I think its history is still useful for today's social development. We will get a lot of enlightenment from its great leap from "Happy England" to "No Empire" and then to "Decline" for us to study.

First of all, Britain is located in the northwest of Europe and is a very unique country. The North Sea and the English Channel separate Great Britain from the rest of Europe. Surrounded by the sea, their home is easy to defend. The natural sea has helped the British successfully resist invaders from the mainland, such as Philip II in the 6th century, Louis XIV in the 7th century, Napoleon in the 9th century ... At the same time, the sea has also brought to the British. At the same time, it avoids the common problems of island countries, such as isolation, closure and detention. It is precisely because of its advanced civilization and superior geographical environment that a small island country has become the leader in the process of world modernization.

If the history of the United States is a history of immigrants, then the history of Britain is like a history of invaders. 1 1 century ago, the invaders made the British Isles their home and even began to resist other invaders. It is precisely because of this that it is difficult for the British to completely claim to be a unique nation that can be separated from the mainland, so they are in such troubled times.

How did Britain achieve reunification? The answer is-English has been established as the official language, and most people can understand and speak English, regardless of the lower class or the ruling class. By the end of 13, English was widely used in official occasions. It can be seen that the importance of language unification is not only reflected in political unity, but also in national unity, which is why the colonists later asked their colonies to learn their own languages.

When it comes to colonization, there must be a key word-Britain, so why should Britain embark on such a road? We can roughly divide it into three reasons-ideological reasons, geographical reasons and political reasons. The first is the Renaissance, which liberated people's minds and provided ideological weapons for the later bourgeois revolution. At the same time, it also deeply imprinted capitalist ideas into people's hearts. As an island country, Britain is surrounded by the sea, with few resources and a small population. So where can we get the raw materials? At this time, the rich America, Africa and Asia deeply attracted their attention. Having said that, we have to mention another historical event-the opening of a new air route, which not only facilitates the export of their local products, but also helps them find the original accumulation of capital from other places.

The Rise of Great Powers describes the course that nine countries, including Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and Britain, have successively dominated the world and become superpowers in the 500 years since the15th century, and analyzes the gains and losses of the rise and fall of great powers from political, economic, ideological, religious, artistic, military and diplomatic perspectives. I was deeply shocked by the words and fragments of these different chapters. ...

Look at Portugal, which is located in the southwest of Iberian Peninsula in Europe. This theory is not as big as that of China. 15th century, a small country with a population of less than 10000000, just for the simple desire to obtain spices, opened a real era of great navigation. When he grew up, like a boat, he experienced stormy waves and saw more and more bright lighthouses standing in the middle of the sea, eventually becoming the first generation of world powers. We can see that the prosperity of a country is not measured by population or area, but Portugal shows its great courage and unyielding pride. He used his great courage and unyielding pride to prove to the world that their strength should not be underestimated.

Looking at Germany in Central Europe, I remember King William III of Prussia once said, "It is because of poverty that education is needed." In this country with universal education, only Humboldt University in Berlin has 29 scientists crowned with Nobel Prize. No wonder Mao Qi, the German chief of staff, proudly said: "The victory of Germany has long been decided on the podium of primary school students!" It can be seen that the country is always developing, the short life of human beings can never compare with a long history of a country, and the small achievements of human beings can never compare with the great glory of a country. Therefore, it is an urgent task to cultivate the next generation of seedlings. The immortal incense of mankind is the pillar of the national spirit handed down from generation to generation, and Germany is winning the final victory with it. ...

Among many countries, Japan, an East Asian island country, impressed me particularly. Let's put aside their heinous crimes against China and put away our hostile eyes. We have to admit that China is now standing in front of us with its great national strength. He used to be the same as our Qing empire, with an outflow of resources and backward culture, and suffered endless aggression from western powers. But in the face of the same situation, what they saw was that China was "beaten if he fell behind" and denied the temporary stability brought by worshipping ghosts. They quickly tried to strengthen the country, reform and change, and quickly became the first country in Asia to get rid of the aggression of western powers and realize industrialization at an alarming rate. The reason is self-evident. A nation that has always adhered to unity and is good at learning has created today's glory.

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.

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.

Anyone who knows the history of China must know that China has experienced numerous turbulent periods and has been moving from turmoil to peace. If you have a multiple-choice question, do you choose peace or turmoil? I think as ordinary people, we will not hesitate to choose peace. However, is this choice really right?

Ordinary people always feel that their lives are not so heroic when they are idle, so the story about heroes will become a topic to adjust their lives. Everyone knows that there are many heroes in troubled times, and civilians in troubled times have more opportunities to become heroes. At this time, the suffering in troubled times has faded his color, leaving only dreams and legends about heroes. What I want to say is that it's not about heroes, but a more important topic than heroes in troubled times, that is, great ideas.

Do great thoughts have anything to do with troubled times? Yes, of course. Look at my reasons:

There are three ideological peaks in the history of China, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the May 4th Movement, which are very close to us. Aren't these three periods the most turbulent in China's history? Is this a coincidence? Or is there a necessary connection?

I think there is an inevitable connection between turbulent times and the emergence of great ideas for four reasons:

First, the emergence of any great idea has to experience strong ideological collision from many aspects. This collision of ideas requires that all parties must be evenly matched in order to produce a fierce spark and thus generate new ideological light. Multiple thoughts can only occur in turbulent times, especially in China. As we all know, in the era of reunification and peace, as a powerful central government, it is bound to seek ideological unity. Throughout the ages, this ban will be relaxed in times of turmoil.

Second, as intellectuals, thinkers should make a difference on the premise of saving their lives. Stay together, stay together, or leave. They don't have a grandfather here, but they have their own place to raise him. Therefore, intellectuals in turbulent times can speak freely and have no scruples. If you don't want to say it here, just say it somewhere else. If in peacetime, it is unthinkable for a person who strongly advocates the mainstream thought openly, you can't stay anywhere, and the whole world is king and nature, but in turbulent times.

Third, in turbulent times, all powerful people should recruit talents and seek a unified strategy. It is impossible to unify the country by force alone, and it must be based on philosophical thinking. At this time, thinkers have become scarce, and various powerful forces will inevitably hatch different ideas to serve them.

Fourth, the nature of intellectuals is to pursue constantly and show their value by surpassing their predecessors. In peacetime, intellectuals themselves are suppressed by the dominant mainstream thoughts, and the rebellious factors in their personality will be freely vented in turbulent times.

I remember Xiao Bing told me that their teacher told them that it would be a disaster if the world was ruled by Americans and China. Because most Americans have firm beliefs, while China people don't. At first, I didn't quite understand what she said, but after watching several episodes of The Rise of Great Powers and Seeing France, I gradually understood! To a certain extent, if you have faith, you will be afraid, you will be worried and you will not be reckless.

We can ask ourselves, what is the spiritual sustenance of China people? What have we always been proud of in China? If you really ask thoroughly, I'm afraid there is no answer. In France, they are proud of the Paris Tower and their proud revolutionary ideas. The Enlightenment in the world was born in France, and the Declaration of Human Rights was written by the French. The ideas of freedom, equality and fraternity come from France. They have their own proud historical and cultural relics, and how many magnificent buildings? How many historical figures inspired them to forge ahead? Their role model is not far away, just in modern times.

I wonder if you still remember the story of building the Paris Tower? They have strong spiritual motivation to stimulate them to move forward, and there are clear examples of great men for them to follow and pursue. Look at Germany again. Germany is a country nourished by classical music, emitting the rational light of classical philosophy. It used to be the birthplace of the second industrial revolution and was famous for its modern universities and scientific and technological inventions.

Germans have their own elegant spiritual sustenance, because it used to be the holy land of classical philosophy. Philosophers we are familiar with now, such as Kant (the founder of German classical idealism), Marx, Nietzsche, Hegel and Schopenhauer, all came from Germany, which was once a paradise for classical music. Bach, Beethoven, Brahms and other world famous musicians are all from Germany.

Germans attach great importance to education, and they attach great importance to the cultivation of national quality as the basis of national rejuvenation. Marshal Mao Qi, who defeated France and captured the French emperor, once said: "The victory of Prussia has long been decided on the podium of primary school teachers." In Germany, children are free to attend classes, but they will be punished for not attending classes. It is precisely because the state attaches importance to education that the state will vigorously support and sponsor the development of education. They reached the position of a world power by relying on high-quality nationals. As we know now, there are 29 Nobel Prize winners in Germany.

Looking back at us in China, what is our spiritual sustenance? What is our belief? Who is our role model? What motivates us to move forward? To some extent, backwardness is the driving force of our progress, but when a nation makes progress just because it is afraid of backwardness, it seems a bit sad! Our generation is empty to some extent! Our citizens, to some extent, are also empty! As the Asia-Pacific Policy Center of the American RAND Corporation said in an analysis report on the current situation of China: With the destruction and gradual decline of traditional cultural values, most China people, including those with higher education, are wandering at the intersection of their spiritual and inner worlds, and don't know where to go! The report also pointed out that China people lack honesty and social responsibility.

They don't understand their responsibilities and obligations to the country and society as social people; China has not become a legal society, because China people's way of thinking is incompatible with law-abiding behavior and always want to take shortcuts; Most people in China have not learned what a decent and respected life is. Subconsciously, China people regard improving themselves and gaining other people's cognition as their purpose in life. China people don't have the courage to pursue what they think is right.
