1939, when smoke filled Eurasia, the new york World Expo opened in the "New World". This two-year Expo has 64 countries participating, and its scale and achievements can be said to have reached another peak in the history of the World Expo. New World and New World, as an ultra-luxury gift to celebrate the 50th anniversary of George Washington, the first president of the United States, 1939 new york World Expo is not only a historic festival in the United States, but also of great significance to the history of western civilization. Of course, the purpose of the exhibition is not limited to this. The organizing committee for the theme establishment clearly stated: "The new york World Expo is a grand event of the world, and it is a carnival to show everything that contributes to human progress." Thus, the theme of 1939 new york World Expo came into being: Building a Tomorrow's World. At this World Expo, various latest inventions and technologies were exhibited, such as tape recorders, televisions, TV cameras, nylon and plastic products. What new york World Expo wants to tell tourists and the whole world is that these are the materials, ideas and energy on which the world depends; These are the most advanced technologies today, and they are the tools for us to create the future world and live on. You are a builder, and you are also a decision maker. Choose a tool and use it to lead you to a better tomorrow. When Gong Yu reclaimed the sea along the mountain to select the site for the new york World Expo, the planners found that there was no large open space with convenient transportation in the urban area of new york, which could meet the needs of the World Expo. Therefore, they regard hosting the World Expo as an opportunity for long-term urban planning, and the site planning has surpassed the time span of the World Expo from beginning to end. Today, Corana Park in Queens, new york was a swamp and garbage dump at the beginning of last century. The renovation of this site by the new york World Expo is the largest project in the history of the eastern United States. New york people have shown the spirit of "a fool moves mountains" and "reclaiming the sea by jingwei". The mountains were removed, and about 6 million cubic yards of alkali ash filled the swamp. People dumped thousands of tons of soil on it and spread it evenly, transforming swamps and garbage dumps into an empty and flat World Expo venue. After the World Expo, after years of development, this land has been transformed into the second largest park in new york. The whole World Expo is the crystallization of the dreams, experiences and courage of countless people. Designers, architects and engineers have turned flash into real buildings for the whole world to enjoy. One of the most dedicated buildings in the World Expo is Trylon and Perisphere, which are the main buildings of the World Expo. This pair of modern-looking buildings has become the image symbol of the new york World Expo, frequently appearing in the Expo emblem and various posters. However, due to its originality, people encountered unprecedented challenges in the construction process. Faced with various technical problems, engineers brainstormed and discussed countermeasures. For a specific problem, they often discuss hundreds of solutions and then choose the one with the best practical effect. As a result, they finally created an incredible miracle. A bird's-eye view of the new york World Expo site: the carnival of culture, science and technology and food, in addition to striving for new themes, exhibits and buildings, is also a highlight of the new york World Expo. Italy Pavilion is a three-story exquisite building, and the exhibits on display depict the development of Italian tourism and industry: navigation, aviation, electronic technology products, as well as perfume, cosmetics, wool and silk products. Among them, the most novel is synthetic fiber products, including wool fibers from milk. In the transportation exhibition hall of the museum, Italy's complex transportation system is copied, and a series of three-dimensional urban models depict the historical changes of Rome one by one. An ingenious idea of the Italian Pavilion is: food. The exhibition hall invited Italian master chef to cook in the bar named "Night" on the third floor. Food accompanied by fountains, flowers and music really attracted thousands of tourists, who flocked to feel the lyrical and poetic Italian spirit without losing its liveliness. The towering hollow building is the most striking feature of the Polish Pavilion, which represents Poland's expectation for the future-to become a vibrant country. Walking into the exhibition hall of "Honesty Palace" in the museum, visitors can see some original documents and exhibits of Polish King * * * and regime declaration. Another part of the exhibits in the palace describes the history from 1608, when the first Polish immigrant set foot on American soil, to the participation of Polish troops in the American War of Independence and the development of the United States. Another theme exhibition hall is the Science Museum, which contains more than 200 original Polish inventions. In the fashion exhibition area, eight models wore women's dresses designed and produced by Poland, showing the fashion culture of Poland. Coincidentally, next to the main building of the exhibition hall is an independent small building. Although the place is small, it is a paradise for gourmets. Visitors can taste precious Polish wine, vodka and more than 400 kinds of delicious food. The Romanian Pavilion faces the Peace Square, a four-story building decorated with stone balconies in the style of Romanian National Monastery. In the restaurant of Romania Pavilion, visitors can enjoy delicious caviar and authentic Romanian local dishes accompanied by the famous Romanian symphony orchestra. The largest exhibition hall in Romania Pavilion displays various glass products, pottery, embroidery, jewelry and musical instruments. The uniqueness of this exhibition hall is that all the exhibits are 100% handmade. The layout of the entire Romanian Pavilion not only embodies American comfort, but also embodies the Romanian-style artistic atmosphere. This design concept is highlighted in every detail of the exhibition hall. 1939 The new york World Expo reminds the world that it is possible that human beings can really change the world by their own efforts. In today's Corana Park in new york, there are still four exhibition halls at that time, among which the Science and Technology Museum, the Queen's Art Museum and the Park Theatre are still open to the public. Like a dream, the swamp and garbage here have long since disappeared, replaced by poetic scenes. The giant stainless steel globe with a diameter of 36 meters, which was built by American Steel Company, still stands here. It is still the largest model of the earth in the world.
