The Chinese elements in the Winter Olympics include:
1. The emblem of the Winter Olympics "Winter Dream"
Chinese characters have become a systematic script, which can be traced back to the Yin Dynasty Shang period. The emblem of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics "Winter Dream" reflects the combination of calligraphy and sports: with the Chinese calligraphy character "winter" as the main body, the upper part shows the shape of a skater, and the lower part shows the heroic posture of a skier.
The dancing lines in the middle are smooth and full of rhythm, representing the undulating mountains, competition venues, ice and snow slides and festive fluttering ribbons at the venue. It adds a festive and festive visual experience to the emblem and also symbolizes the Beijing Winter Olympics. It will be held during the Chinese New Year. Hosting the modern Olympic Games is a dream of the Chinese people. It can be said that the Winter Dream is the dream of winter, the dream of ice and snow, and even more so the dream of China.
2. The emblem of the Winter Paralympics "Leap"
The emblem of the 2022 Winter Paralympics "Leap" cleverly transforms the Chinese character "fly" into a figure that glides forward and rushes forward. Image of an athlete aiming for victory. The upper part has strong and winding lines, while the lower part is soft and round, implying that athletes finally achieve their goals through tenacious struggle and ups and downs, and freezes the sports spirit of athletes to transcend themselves and inspire the world.
3. The Winter Olympics mascot "Bing Dundun".
Giant pandas have lived on the earth for at least 8 million years. They are recognized by the world as a "living fossil" and a national treasure of China. They have a friendly, cute and naive image. On September 17, 2019, it once again represented China as the mascot of the Winter Olympics.
The panda has had many names, but now it is called Bingdundun - healthy and honest, which symbolizes the strong physique of athletes, and restrained and kind, which represents the balanced mind of sports people. Bing Dundun appeared wearing an ice crystal shell, completing a cross-border combination of ice and snow sports and modern technology.
4. "Xue Rongrong", the mascot of the Winter Paralympics
The Chinese lantern, which symbolizes reunion and celebration, originated in the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. In ancient times, schools started in the first month of every year. At this time, parents will prepare a lantern for their children, which will be lit by the teacher, symbolizing a bright future, which is called "turning on the light." As the mascot of the Winter Paralympics, "Xue Rongrong" is inspired by lanterns.
"Snow" symbolizes whiteness, beauty, ice and snow; "Rong" means tolerance, tolerance, exchange and mutual learning; "Rong" means integration, warmth, and mutual understanding. The decorative patterns are integrated into my country's paper-cut art. The snow patches on the face represent auspicious snow and a good harvest. The thick Chinese red on the lanterns means the Chinese Year of 2022, showing the festive colors of peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
5. National Speed ??Skating Hall "Ice Ribbon"
Since the Western Han Dynasty, China has been called the "Silk Country". At that time, Chinese silk fabrics were shipped abroad in large quantities, which also opened up world history. The first large-scale commercial exchange between the East and the West. More than 2,000 years later, in 2020, the National Speed ??Skating Arena, known as the "Ice Ribbon", was announced to be completed. It is a landmark building for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
When athletes skate on the high-speed ice track, the tracks they bring out are like ribbons, and the 22 decorative strips made of glass on the exterior wall of the venue symbolize Beijing 2022. The surface of all ribbons has ice flake-like layers, hence the name "ice ribbon".
6. National Ski Jumping Center "Xue Ruyi"
Ruyi, which looks like the Big Dipper, first appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty in my country. It can be used as a self-defense device, and it is also used as a command object on behalf of your subordinates in war, which means that everything goes smoothly and auspiciously. As an auspicious object, it is widely used among the people and the court. Before ordinary people leave for a long distance, their family or friends will send them good wishes to express their good wishes.
As a daily necessities, it can be used for massage and scratching. If the hand can't reach it, use it as a substitute. It can be scratched or scratched, and it can be used as desired. This is where the name "Ruyi" comes from. Looking back, let’s look at the National Ski Jumping Center. It is vividly called “Snow Ruyi” because of its similarity in appearance to “Ruyi”.
