The mascot of this Olympics has five major characteristics:

First, the mascot of the Beijing Olympics embodies the Beijing Olympics’ organizing concepts and concepts of “Green Olympics, Humanistic Olympics, and Scientific and Technological Olympics”. The Olympic spirit conveys the ideal and pursuit of peaceful development of human society, harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and harmonious coexistence between people.

Second, the mascot has strong Chinese characteristics. The mascot makes extensive use of rich Chinese cultural elements, showing the diversity of Chinese culture in many aspects. The Fuwa is perfectly integrated with traditional Chinese culture. The five colors of the Five Fuwa are exactly the five elements of China - metal, wood, water, fire and earth, and the two rituals in life. , the two rituals give rise to the four images, the four signs give rise to the Bagua, the Bagua gives rise to all things, and the unity of the Five Fuwa symbolizes the great unity of the people of the world.

Third, mascots are widely representative.

Fourth, mascots have original intellectual property rights and broad market development space.

Fifth, the Beijing Olympics mascot is the crystallization of collective wisdom, permeating all aspects of wisdom and labor. In particular, the members of the creation and modification team played an important role. Many famous domestic literary and artistic figures have participated in discussions many times. , participate in modifications and provide comments.

The mascot of the Beijing Olympic Games consists of five "Fuwa": "Fuwa Huanhuan" is based on the Olympic flame and represents passion. The prototype of "Fuwa Jingjing" is a panda, which comes from the forest and represents joy. "Fuwa Beibei" is a fish baby, which comes from rivers, lakes and seas and represents prosperity. The prototype of "Fuwa Yingying" is the Tibetan antelope, which comes from the grassland and represents health. The prototype of "Fuwa Nini" is Jingyan, which comes from the sky and represents luck.

Liu Qi, Chairman of the Beijing Olympics Organizing Committee, said: "The Beijing Olympics mascot is another special gift that China has given to the world and the Olympic Movement. It is consistent with the Beijing Olympics emblem and slogan and expresses the same It embodies the Chinese people's yearning for peace, friendship, progress and a harmonious world, and conveys the sentiment of "Beijing welcomes you". The Beijing Olympic Games mascot has strong Chinese characteristics, expresses the cultural characteristics of our country's multi-ethnic family, and contains the Chinese nation. The understanding of the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, the basic idea of ??interdependence and harmonious operation of everything in the world. "

In addition to his love for the Beijing Olympics emblem, International Olympic Committee President Rogge also loves the cute Beijing Olympics mascot. It was also a heartfelt compliment. He personally sent a letter of congratulations saying: "Fuwa are a wonderful little family carefully selected by the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee to represent all of China. They bring friendship to children in all corners of the world." Luo Luo. Ge said: "I like every image in the Fuwa and the story of them bringing traditional Chinese blessings to the world. Beijing's choice touched my heart, and I believe that the Fuwa will also touch the world's hearts."

No one of the original 662 works was selected in the end, including Sun Wukong, Chinese Dragon, Phoenix, Ah Fu, Tiger, Lord Rabbit, Rattle, etc. During the collection process, none of the proposals that were loved by many people and netizens were selected. , the reasons are complex.

"Sun Wukong" is deeply loved by many people at home and abroad, and many works based on it compete for the mascot of the Beijing Olympic Games. But in the end, there were two main reasons for Sun Wukong's "failure". One of them was that his "failure" was due to his high popularity. Because Sun Wukong is very well-known in China and even in many Asian countries and regions such as Japan and Vietnam, and the development of its extended products is also quite common, it will encounter considerable difficulties in intellectual property protection. When the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee and relevant departments conducted an intellectual property registration investigation, they found that the brand registration of "Sun Wukong" involves almost all fields, and the space for further development is very narrow, which is not conducive to the intellectual property protection and market development of the mascot. The second is that "Sun Wukong" is an image from a literary work that is almost a household name in China, and almost everyone knows its story. Developing it into an Olympic mascot is not conducive to the definition and extension of its connotation, and it is difficult to have new ideas in the story.

The third category of popular proposals that failed to win had to be abandoned due to the ambiguity between Chinese and foreign understandings of this type of image. The most typical one is the image of the Chinese dragon. The dragon is the most important image in Chinese totems. However, because the dragon has different understandings around the world, as the mascot of the Olympic Games, it has to reluctantly give up. Similarly, magpies are loved by many Asians, but in some countries the understanding of them is completely opposite.

The third breakthrough is in the application of mascot design, which highlights the personalization of extended use. The mascot consists of two parts, the headdress and the body. It is a complete image, but the headdress part can be completely removed and developed and produced separately. Every adult and every child can put their favorite "hat" on their head and dress themselves up as a mascot. This kind of application has not existed in the past, and the interaction between people and mascots has been enhanced.

Finally, Beijing is the first time in the history of the Olympic Games that the mascot has been changed to five, which is the most ever. This is because Chinese culture is broad and profound and has too much to express.

The choice of five Fuwa as mascots for the Beijing Olympics not only echoes the five rings that are the Olympic symbol, but is also in line with China’s national conditions with its large population, long history and rich culture. At the same time, it is also closely related to digital culture, which is an important part of traditional Chinese culture, such as the Five Elements, the Five Blessings, the Five Protectors, the Five Lakes and Four Seas, etc.

Furthermore, using the number "five" to represent the five directions of east, west, south, north, and center is a very long cultural tradition in China. The "Wuzangshan Sutra", a document written by Emperor Yu 4,200 years ago, divides the world into five major regions: "Nanshan Sutra", "Xishan Sutra", "Beishan Sutra", "Dongshan Sutra" and "Zhongshan Sutra". "Zhong", the "center" of China, and the Chinese concept of "center" all originate from this concept of orientation.

2. The cultural connotation of Fuwa Beibei

Relevant reports said that the blessing conveyed by Beibei is prosperity. In traditional Chinese culture and art, the patterns of "fish" and "water" are symbols of prosperity and harvest. People use "carp jumping over the dragon gate" to imply success in career and the realization of dreams. "Fish" also means good luck and prosperity every year. The implication. The head decoration of Beibei uses the fish pattern from the Neolithic Age in China. Beibei is gentle and pure, and is a master of water sports. It complements the blue ring among the five Olympic rings.

The author pointed out in articles such as "Stray: The Mascot of the Beijing Olympics" that the prototype of the dragon is a fish (a giant salamander to be precise), and the stingray is the auspicious animal of "the great beast in the world". "Wuzang Shan Jing·Xishan Jing" records: "One hundred and eighty miles to the west, it is called the Mountain of Taiqi. Watch the water coming out, and the west flow pours into the quicksand. It is a multi-texted ray, shaped like a carp, with a fish body The bird has green wings and a white head with a red beak. It often travels to the West Sea, swims in the East Sea, and flies at night. Its sound is like a luan chicken, and its taste is sour and sweet. If you eat it, you will see it. "Taiqi Mountain is located today. The west side of the Hetao area south of the Yinshan Mountains is an oasis in the desert.

The manta ray is a flying fish, which can symbolize a leap in sports, higher, faster and stronger; the manta ray flies between the West Sea and the East China Sea, which can symbolize Eastern and Western civilizations. exchange with culture. From a design perspective, the manta ray looks like a carp with wings. The carp is red or gold, and the extension of its wings has a strong sense of movement and rhythm. These characteristics are helpful in designing an ideal auspicious image. The object pattern comes.

3. The cultural connotation of the panda Fuwa Jingjing

Reports say that Jingjing comes from the vast forest and symbolizes the harmonious existence of man and nature. The decoration on his head is derived from the lotus petal shape found on Song porcelain. Jingjing is honest, optimistic and full of strength, representing the black link among the five Olympic rings.

Furthermore, pandas belong to the bear family. One of the totems of the Yellow Emperor clan is the bear (with the Xiong clan), and the ancestors of the Chu State were also named after bears. Article 9 of the "Wuzang Mountain Sutra" Zhongshan Sutra records the bear god in the mountain range: "One hundred and fifty miles to the east, it is called Xiong Mountain. There is a cave, the bear's cave, where gods and men always come in and out. It opens in the summer and closes in the winter. This is There must be soldiers in the cave at the beginning of winter. There are many white jade on it, many white gold on it, many willows on it, and many grasses on it."

The author's interpretation is as follows: Xiong Mountain should be full of bears, bears. Bears have the habit of hibernating, and it is an abnormal phenomenon for bears to come out and be active in winter. There are many kinds of bears, but unfortunately the scripture here does not mention what the bears here look like. As we all know, giant pandas are a specialty of my country. Their black and white fur is very distinctive. They are mainly distributed in the Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountains. Since Bear Mountain here is located in the Daba Mountains, the bear here may refer to the giant panda. At the same time, the bear god may also be dressed up by local people as a giant panda, and they hold sacrifices to the bear god in the bear cave in summer. activities.

It is worth noting that "Historical Records of Chu" states that "the ancestor of Chu came from Emperor Zhuanxu Gaoyang". After that, Gao Yang was called Juanzhang (Laotong), and Juanzhang was born Chongli. Chong Li's younger brother was Wu Hui (Zhu Rong). Wu Hui was the son of Lu Zhong. Lu Zhong had six sons. Liu was named Ji Lian. His surname was Mi, and he was the successor of Chu. Ji Liansheng is attached to Ju, and attached to Ju is the cave bear. After that, he was in decline, either in China or among the barbarians, and it is impossible to record his life. During the reign of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty, Ji Lian's descendants were called Wan Xiong, and their descendants' names often used the word "Xiong". According to this, the Xiong Mountain, Bear Cave, and Bear God in the Zhongci Nine Classics may be the "cave bear", the ancestor of the Chu State.

In short, although pandas can be naive, bears also have a majestic character and are not weak to be bullied.

4. The cultural connotation of the Holy Fire Fuwa Huanhuan

Reports say that Huanhuan Fuwa is a fire doll, symbolizing the Olympic flame and the embodiment of sports passion. He spreads passion around the world and delivers With the Olympic spirit of faster, higher and stronger. Everywhere Huanhuan goes, Beijing 2008’s enthusiasm for the world is overflowing. Huanhuan's head decoration is derived from the flame pattern in Dunhuang murals. He has an outgoing and unrestrained personality, is familiar with various ball games, and represents the red link among the five Olympic rings.

Furthermore, Chinese people like to use red and fire as a metaphor for prosperity, because fire is a symbol of vitality. At the same time, the Chinese have worshiped fire since ancient times. Since the earliest evidence of human use of fire was found in China (Zhoukoudian Peking Man), China is also the home of human origins.

5. The cultural connotation of the Tibetan antelope Fuwa Yingying

The report said that Yingying is an agile and agile Tibetan antelope that gallops like flying. He comes from the vast western land of China. Send good wishes of good health to the world. Yingying is the Tibetan antelope, a unique protected animal on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and a manifestation of the Green Olympics. Yingying's head decoration incorporates the decorative styles of western regions such as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Xinjiang. He is agile and a good athlete in track and field, representing the yellow link among the five Olympic rings.

Sheep are auspicious and beautiful animals in ancient China, such as Sanyang Kaitai. During the Xia Dynasty, the Yandi tribe (originating from Jiangshui), the Houji tribe (mother is Jiangyuan), as well as the Qiang and Tibetan tribes all used sheep as totem animals.

6. The cultural connotation of the Swallow Fuwa Nini

Reports say that Nini comes from the sky and is a flying swallow. Its creative shape comes from the traditional sand swallow kite in Beijing. "Yan" also represents Yanjing (the name of ancient Beijing). Nini brings spring and joy to people, spreading good wishes of "good luck to you" wherever she flies. The innocent, cheerful and agile Nini will make a shining debut in the gymnastics competition. She represents the green link among the five Olympic rings.

The swallow is the "black bird", which is the totem animal of the Yin and Shang people. In addition, the Shaohao tribe named their official positions after birds, just like an ancient kingdom where hundreds of birds pay homage to the phoenix. At the same time, Chinese ancestors believed that there were three-legged crows (sunbird, golden bird, and fire phoenix) inside the sun, so birds could also represent the sun and light.

Since the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Olympic mascots have bid farewell to the "single" era. Mascot combinations have become a popular trend in the Olympics. The five mascots selected for the 2008 Beijing Olympics broke through the previous Olympic Games. Number of mascots. Because this not only represents the five Olympic rings, but also fits with the theory of the five elements of "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth" in traditional Chinese culture. In Buddhist culture, "five" represents perfection, and "five" is also in line with the "five elements (gold, wood, water, fire, earth) theory" in Chinese culture, and echoes the "five rings" as the Olympic symbol. The five mascots have the five characteristics of "embodiing the concept of hosting the Beijing Olympic Games and the Olympic spirit", "having strong Chinese characteristics", "being widely representative", "having original intellectual property rights and broad market development space" and "the crystallization of collective wisdom" Features.

To sum up, the fish is actually the Chinese dragon, the panda Fuwa Jingjing (jing) is homophonic to Jin (jin), the Holy Fire Fuwa Huanhuan (hui) has a similar pronunciation to Hui (hui), and the Tibetan antelope Fuwa symbolizes Galloping, the swallow Fuwa symbolizes flying. The five Fuwa together literally means "Beijing welcomes you", but the connotation also has the artistic conception of "the Chinese dragon will take off today".

The Beijing Olympic Games mascot has been announced. It consists of five anthropomorphic doll images, collectively called "Fuwa", named "Beibei", "Jingjing", "Huanhuan" and "Yingying" respectively. ”, “Nini”. The pronunciation of the five characters is "Beijing welcomes you". Their shapes incorporate images of fish, giant pandas, Tibetan antelopes, swallows and the Olympic flame, and their colors correspond one-to-one with the five Olympic rings, making them highly visible and friendly. What is particularly noteworthy is that it is closely integrated with our country's traditional culture, so it has Chinese characteristics.

The five Olympic rings are connected by five rings of different colors, representing the five continents: Europe (sky blue), Australia (grass green), America (red), Asia (yellow), and Africa. (black). Five rings of different colors are closely connected, symbolizing the friendship and unity among athletes and people from all over the world. What amazing Olympic athletes, they lived up to their expectations and won medals. Everyone praises the Olympic spirit, come to Beijing 2008! "This is what I wrote down at the moment.

Indeed, at the Athens Olympics, the Olympic athletes shouldered the great trust of the country and lived up to the high expectations of the people across the country. They supported it to the end with their tenacious fighting spirit, and achieved brilliant achievements with their superb sports skills and good sports ethics. , achieved a historic leap and set a record number of gold medals.

The spirit of these Olympic athletes is worth learning from! But the medals they got were not just taken, because among them, "the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold"? Without the efforts of hard work, how can there be the joy of harvest? --Students, take a look, which one of them has not gone through a long period of training? The medals of the Olympic athletes are not light, because they bear witness to their efforts and their efforts were not in vain, and they won the medals, which fulfilled their dreams and the dreams of our people across the country.

Liu Xiang won the men's 110-meter hurdles gold medal at the Athens Olympics with an impressive result that equaled the world record. The difference of 0.1 seconds was the basis for success and failure. Athletes all conquer everything by relying on their strength. As Mr. Lu Xun said: "Great achievements are directly proportional to hard work. Every minute of labor is rewarded. Over time, from less to more, miracles can be created." Yes, athletes have achieved so much. Isn’t the impressive performance the result of their daily training? How rare is this Olympic spirit!

If everyone can apply the Olympic spirit to work, study, and the lives of countless people! Then the world will definitely become a better place! The Olympic spirit, this great spirit of not being afraid of difficulties and persevering, will bring glory to one's country!

Here, I hope that China’s Olympic athletes will always maintain this Olympic spirit and win glory again in the 2008 Beijing Olympics!
