At 8: 00 pm on February 4th, the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics officially kicked off at the Bird's Nest National Stadium after a performance about half an hour before the ceremony. Simplicity, safety and excitement are the requirements for hosting the Beijing Winter Olympics, and they are also the main features of the opening ceremony.
The opening ceremony lasted about 100 minutes, and the overall program arrangement was much more compact than that of previous Olympic Games. In the words of general director Zhang Yimou, this is an opening ceremony with China culture every minute. The countdown before the opening ceremony ingeniously used the countdown of 24 solar terms, with beautiful scenery and classic poems of solar terms, which also echoed that this was the 24th Winter Olympics. ?
Snowflakes at the Opening Ceremony of Beijing Winter Olympics
After the entrance ceremony, the tight opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics is drawing to a close, and the huge high-tech ground screen of the Bird's Nest is still playing a role. Under the dance of countless small snowflakes, a huge solid snowflake slowly rose from the center of the venue. This is a big snowflake with the names of all participating countries in the Winter Olympics written on it, surrounded by olive branches, pure and quiet, echoing the five rings of ice and snow above. ?
Hundreds of young people from all over the world walked side by side in the stadium, and the long river of images slowly spread out, showing the moments of life of people and ice and snow athletes from all over the world. This is a picture that pays tribute to ordinary people. The Chinese knots on both sides of the picture change shapes. Finally, it is the theme slogan of this Winter Olympics-Join hands with the future.
