世界博览会是由一个国家的政府主办，有多个国家或国际组织参加，以展现人类在社会、经济、文化和科技领域取得成就的国际性大型展示会。其特点是举办时间长、展出规模大、参展国家多、影响深远。
自1851年英国伦敦举办第一届展览会以来，世博会因其发展迅速而享有“经济、科技、文化领域内的奥林匹克盛会”的美誉。按照国际展览局的规定，世界博览会按性质、规模、展期分为两种：一种是注册类（以前称综合性）世博会，展期通常为6个月，从2000年开始每5年举办一次；另一类是认可类（以前称专业性）世博会，展期通常为3个月，在两届注册类世博会之间举办一次。注册类世界博览会不同于一般的贸易促销和经济招商的展览会，是全球最高级别的博览会

Designing concept of the mascot
设计理念
Like the mascots for huge worldwide events such as Olympics and World Cup, the mascot of World Expo is very important for interpreting the theme and expressing the culture. The emblems and images of past World Expos have turned into the unique intangible legacy. The World Expo mascots have not only become the representatives of Expo images, but also embody the culture and spirit of hosting countries and cities.
Mascot, as the symbol featuring the hosting country, will embody the history, development, culture, concept and social background of the country and will play an important role in the communication in political, economical and cultural fields.
The mascot of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China is trying to accomplish the following functions:
世博会和奥运会、世界杯等超级大型活动一样，都十分重视吉祥物对于演绎主题、传承文化的重要作用。历届世博会标志和形象已经成为独特的无形资产，成为世界公认的遗产之一。世博会吉祥物，不仅是世博会形象品牌的重要载体，而且体现了世博会举办国家、承办城市独特的文化魅力，体现了世博会举办国家的民族文化和精神风貌，她已经成为世博会最具价值的无形资产之一。
“吉祥物”作为代表东道国特色的标志物，是一个国家文化的象征。她从各个层面反映了东道国的历史发展、文化观念、意识形态以及社会背景，并在政治、经济、文化等多个领域的传播中扮演着十分重要的角色。
中国2010年上海世博会吉祥物在设计理念上，努力实现以下功能：
1. To embody the culture of the hosting country
World Expo 2010 Shanghai China is a global event that is hosted by China and undertaken by the city of Shanghai. It is the first time that a developing country will host a registered World Expo. The design of Shanghai Expo mascot must have Chinese cultural characters, state the Chinese cultural sprit and manifest that Shanghai Expo is a platform for worldwide cultural exchange. Meanwhile, the design must accord with Chinese laws and social conventions.
2. To interpret the theme "Better City, Better Life"
The mascot of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China should become the unique visual logo of theme development and should be different from the existing mascot images of previous World Expos and international events in theme manifestation and designing.
The image of mascot should well express the theme of Shanghai Expo "Better City, Better Life" by using innovative ideas, impressive appearance and motions to state its concept and characters. By exploring the relationship among cities, urban dwellers and planet, the mascot must express the inner relation between heritage and future. The designing concept should be clear and unique, which coincide with the theme and easy for the public to undertand.
3. To have the value of re-creation
The mascot of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China should meet the principle of "good looking, easy to understand, easy to remember and easy to use." It should also be suitable for the creation of licensed products, including stationeries, garment, souvenirs and jewelries. The mascot should be easy to be re-created in graphic, solid or electronic media.
（1）体现主办国家的文化
2010年上海世博会是由中国举办、上海承办的全球盛会，也是第一次在发展中国家举办的综合类世博会。上海世博会吉祥物设计必须包含中国的文化特征，彰显中国的文化精神，反映上海世博会中外文化交流的特征。同时，符合中国法律和社会公序良俗的要求。
（2）演绎上海世博会“城市，让生活更美好”的主题
中国2010年上海世博会吉祥物应该成为主题演绎的形象载体和视觉标识，与历届世博会或其他国际大型活动已有的吉祥物形象在主题表现、造型设计等方面有明显区别。
吉祥物形象要通过创意提炼、造型设计、理念阐述、性格设定、动作演绎等手段，充分表达上海世博会“城市，让生活更美好”的主题。通过吉祥物形象生动演绎城市、城市人、城市星球之间的互动关系，深刻表达足迹、梦想之间的内在关联。设计思路和理念要清晰而独特，契合主题且易于为广大受众理解。
（3）具有产品衍生和开发的价值
中国2010年上海世博会吉祥物要符合“好看、好懂、好记、好用”的原则，具有产品衍生、市场开发的形象基础和造型前提，具有认知度高、应用性强等特点，适合各种各类玩具、文具、服装、礼品、饰品等系列衍生产品的设计与开发。在表现形式和技术手段上，适用于平面、立体和电子媒介的传播和再创作，适用于不同载体对主题演绎和表现样式的需要。

Theme Manifestation
Cities is formed by the assembly of human beings and then evolved into an organized system, in which people are the most active and creative cells. People's life and development of the cities are closely related. With the rapid process of urbanization, the interaction between cities and the biological circle as well as the resources on the earth have become more and more strong. The relationship among people, city and earth runs through the urbanization. The three will become an inseparable complex.
People are the cells as well as the spirit of cities. People give the cities their cultures, characters and uniqueness. With the urbanization, more are more people become urban dwellers. People's life is inevitably affected by the development of cities. Cities should create a good living and innovation environment for people.
The structure and network of different cities have common views as well as their uniqueness. To understand the system and development of cities and construct a sustainable, healthy city structure is the precondition of building a livable city. It relies on people's understanding of city's developing rules as well as the rational activities in daily life.
Human being, creator of good life, is the core to push the city development as well as the most creative part in the urbanization; hence, the designing of the mascot chose the Chinese character of people to be the main image. The blue color mascot represents the elements including earth, dream, sea, future, technology and manifests the theme of World Expo "Better City, Better Life."
The image of the mascot is simple, easy to remember and to communicate. Though it is a single mascot, with the different motions and costumes, it could also have various appearances.
Water is the source of life. The main character of the mascot is water. The blue color stated Chinese brand-new gesture to embrace the world.
Hai Bao embodies ideal of the coexistence of different cultures in cities; embodies the appreciation of economic development and environmental sustainable development; embodies the wish to remodel the city communities, embodies the anticipation of the well-off both urban cities and countrysides. Hai Bao is the whish to colorful life and the warm invitation to friends from all over the world to Shanghai.
城市由人类最初的聚居地演化而来，它不断地演进和成长为一个有机系统。人是这个有机系统中最具活力和最富有创新能力的细胞。人的生活与城市的形态和发展密切互动。随着城市化进程的加速，城市的有机系统与地球大生物圈和资源体系之间相互作用也日益深入，日益扩展。人、城市和地球三个有机系统环环相扣，这种关系贯穿了城市发展的历程，三者也将在未来日益融合成为一个不可分割的整体。
人是城市的细胞，又是城市的灵魂——人赋予城市文化、性格和创造力。随着城市化进程的加速，越来越多的人们成为“城市人”。城市人口与日俱增，也更具多样性。同时，城市之外的人们生活也不可避免的受到城市化进程的影响。城市需要为人类的生存质量创造条件，城市也应该成为人类创新和创造的温床。
不同城市的构造和内部网络既有共性，也有独特性。了解城市系统的运作和发展规律，建设健康、可持续的城市结构和网络，是城市是否宜居和具备长久活力的前提。这取决于人对城市系统特性和发展规律的了解，以及在日常生活、建设、开发和管理中的理性行为。
人始终是推进城市发展的核心，是城市化进程中最具创造性的主体。人既是美好生活的创造者，也是美好生活的体验者。上海世博会吉祥物的设计正是从主题演绎的角度出发，创造性地选用了汉字的“人”作为创意点。而吉祥物的蓝色则表现了地球、梦想、海洋、未来、科技等元素，符合上海世博会“城市，让生活更美好”的主题。
吉祥物整体形象结构简洁、信息单纯、便于记忆、宜于传播。虽然只有一个，但通过动作演绎、服装变化，可以千变万化，形态各异，展现多种风采。
“上善若水”，水是生命的源泉，吉祥物的主形态是水，他的颜色是海一样的蓝色，表明了中国融入世界、拥抱世界的崭新姿态。
海宝体现了“人”对城市多元文化融合的理想；体现了“人”对经济繁荣、环境可持续发展建设的赞颂；体现了“人”对城市科技创新、对发展的无限可能的期盼；也体现了“人”对城市社区重塑的心愿；他还体现着“人”心中城市与乡村共同繁荣的愿景。海宝是对五彩缤纷生活的向往，对五光十色的生命的祝福，也是中国上海对来自五湖四海朋友的热情邀约

◆世界博览会的由来
在古代农耕社会，人们往往在庆贺丰收、宗教仪式、欢度喜庆的节日里展开交易活动，后来逐渐发展成为定期的、有固定场所的、以物品交换为目的的大型贸易及展示的集会。这就是世博会的最早形式。
公元5世纪，波斯举办了第一个超越集市功能的展览会。
18世纪，随着新技术和新产品的不断出现，人们逐渐想到举办与集市相似，但只展不卖，以宣传、展出新产品和成果为目的的展览会。
1791年捷克在首都布拉格首次举办了这样的展览会。随着科学技术的进步，社会生产力的发展，展览会的规模也逐步扩大，参展的地域范围从一地扩大到全国，由国内延伸到国外，直至发展成为由许多国家参与的世界性博览会。
