Guangzhou Asian Games and Beijing Olympic Games

The idea of the emblem originated from a beautiful legend. According to legend, a long time ago, there was a drought in Guangzhou and there was no harvest. People have nothing to do but pray for the blessing of the gods day and night. Their piety finally touched the five immortals. The fairies floated here on five fairy sheep with different colors and ears of rice. They gave the ears of grain to people, hoping that there would never be famine here. After that, they flew away, and the five fairy sheep turned into stones and stayed on earth. Since then, the weather here has been good every year, and the grain has been abundant. Because of this magical legend, Guangzhou is called "Yangcheng" and "Guangzhou City". Today, there is a statue of Wuyang in Yuexiu Park in Guangzhou, which is the most symbolic city emblem of Guangzhou.

In the traditional culture of China, "sheep" is an auspicious thing, which can bring people good luck. "Sheep" is associated with "auspicious" in ancient Chinese characters in China, and "auspicious" can also be written as "auspicious sheep". The word "beauty" in China's writings consists of "sheep" and "big", which are the traditional aesthetic concepts of China. In China, many words and phrases related to beauty are related to the word "sheep". Therefore, adopting the concept of "sheep" means that the people of Guangzhou will greet the 20 10 Asian Games with the best attitude and will dedicate the best things to the people of Asia and other countries in the world.

The emblem pattern and soft rising lines form the outline of Wuyang and look like a torch. The composition is abstract and concrete, smart and elegant, yet steady, which symbolizes that the flame of the Asian Games will burn and never go out. It not only embodies the symbol of Guangzhou, but also expresses the good wishes of the people of Guangzhou, and also shows the dynamic nature of the Games.
