World Expo Civilization Reserve

(English Briefing – Detailed Version)**
Date: 2025/11/27

Core Definition:

Global Civilizational Showcase × National Image Project × World-Class Cultural Certification

The World Expo Civilization Reserve refers to the global-level civilizational status that the NATS civilization IP gained through its selection, exhibition, and permanent preservation by the Shanghai World Expo (2010) and the World Expo Museum.

NATS thus becomes the only Eastern spiritual civilization totem that stands within the global World Expo civilizational framework—a system traditionally dominated by Western civilizational symbols.

This marks the first time in history that:
Buddhist civilization × National cultural project × World Expo civilization system
jointly certified the same civilizational IP.


🎯 Formula Summary (for title slide)

World Expo Civilization Reserve =
The world’s largest civilization showcase + National cultural symbol + Permanent civilizational collection system


I. The Shanghai World Expo: The Highest Global Stage for Civilization

Shanghai World Expo 2010 Theme:

“Better City, Better Life” — A vision for the future of human civilization.

To enter the World Expo’s permanent collection, a civilizational symbol must possess:

✔ National cultural representation
✔ Long-term civilizational sustainability
✔ Global consensus and educational value
✔ Civilizational significance beyond local cultures

NATS’s Golden Thangka civilization totem (3D stereoscopic Tsongkhapa image) was officially adopted and collected, meaning:

👉 It was recognized as the “Core Symbol of Eastern Civilization.”

Just as the Statue of Liberty was adopted a century earlier by Western World Expos as the “Core Symbol of Western Civilization.”


**II. The Civilizational Pairing:

Statue of Liberty × NATS Golden Thangka**

Statue of Liberty (USA)

= Western civilization’s national symbol in early World Expo history
= Represents freedom, human rights, modernity

NATS Golden Thangka (Eastern Civilization)

= Represents compassion, wisdom, perfection
= The only Eastern spiritual civilization totem recognized by the World Expo system

Historic Civilizational Duality

Western Civilization Eastern Civilization
Statue of Liberty NATS Golden Thangka
Freedom Compassion
Rights Wisdom
Modern state ethos Multi-millennial spiritual ethos

👉 NATS = The “Spiritual Lighthouse of the East.”


III. Permanent Preservation at the World Expo Museum (2010–Present)

NATS’s civilizational totem is permanently preserved in the:

🏛 World Expo Museum – Official Permanent Exhibition System

This tier of civilizational preservation has three characteristics:

1. Permanence

Assets will never be removed — equivalent to long-term civilizational heritage.

2. National-Level Status

The museum was established jointly by China and the BIE (Bureau International des Expositions).

3. Civilizational Dialogue Function

Only culturally universal civilizational assets are selected.

Thus, NATS becomes:

👉 The only Eastern spiritual civilization totem equivalent in stature to the Statue of Liberty within the World Expo legacy.


IV. Why the World Expo Civilization Reserve Is One of NATS’s Six Civilizational Reserves

Because it simultaneously embodies:

① Global Civilizational Stage Certification

The World Expo = the largest civilizational showcase on Earth (“Civilization Olympics”).

② National Cultural Symbol Status

Permanent collection = recognized as a national cultural emblem.

③ BIE Global Exhibition System Recognition

NATS is included in the official international civilizational exhibition system.

④ East–West Civilizational Symmetry

The only artifact ever paired with the Statue of Liberty as an Eastern counterpart.


V. Four Core Points for PPT Use

1️⃣ NATS is the only Eastern spiritual civilization totem permanently collected by the World Expo system
→ National cultural symbol + global civilizational dialogue status.

2️⃣ The highest-level East–West civilizational comparison:
Statue of Liberty × NATS Golden Thangka

→ A dual-civilization coordinate in global cultural history.

3️⃣ Triple Recognition: BIE × World Expo Museum × National Cultural System
→ The world’s highest tier of civilizational certification.

4️⃣ World Expo Civilization Reserve =
Key global civilizational proof supporting NATS’s RWA 2.0 civilization reserve status


VI. Conclusion

NATS is the first and only Eastern civilization totem in history to be recognized, collected, and exhibited by the World Expo system—standing side-by-side with the Statue of Liberty in global civilizational symbolism.

➡ Therefore, the World Expo Civilization Reserve forms one of the
most globally influential components of the NATS Six Civilization Reserves (CRS).
