What good wishes do the five Fuwa represent?

1, the cultural connotation of carp beibei

Beibei's blessing is prosperity. In China traditional culture and art, the patterns of "fish" and "water" are symbols of prosperity and harvest. People use "carp yue longmen" to mean successful career and dream realization, and "fish" also means good luck every year. Beibei's head decoration adopts the fish pattern of Neolithic age in China. Beibei is gentle and innocent, and is a master of water sports, which is in harmony with the blue ring in the Olympic rings.

In Wen Lei: Mascot of Beijing Olympic Games, the author points out that the prototype of the dragon is a fish (to be exact, it is a giant salamander), and Wen Lei is an auspicious animal and "the largest in the world". "Five Tibetan Mountain Classics Xishan Classics" records: "It is also 180 miles west, which is called the mountain of Thai utensils. Watch the water flow out, and the west flows into quicksand. It is a multi-faceted ray, shaped like a carp, with bird wings, a pale and white head and a red beak. It often swims in the West Sea, swims in the East China Sea and flies at night. It sounds like a pheasant, tastes sour and sweet and tastes crazy. When you see it, the world will be big. " Taiqi Mountain, located in the west of Hetao area at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain today, belongs to an oasis in the desert.

Wenlei is a flying fish, which can symbolize the leap of sports, higher, faster and stronger; Manta rays fly between the West Sea and the East China Sea, which can symbolize the cultural exchange between the East and the West. From the design and modeling point of view, Wen Lei looks like a carp with wings, red or gold, with stretched wings and a strong and distinct sense of movement and rhythm, which are helpful to design the ideal mascot pattern.

In other words, the concept of fish in good harvest is not only because fish and fish are homophonic, but originated from the ancient thunder fish in China.

2. The cultural connotation of panda Jingjing.

Jingjing comes from the vast forest, symbolizing the harmony between man and nature. His head decoration originated from the lotus petal shape on Song porcelain. Jingjing is simple, honest, optimistic and full of strength, representing the black part of the Olympic rings.

Furthermore, pandas belong to bear animals, and one of the totems of the Huangdi clan is the bear (named after the bear), and the ancestors of the State of Chu were also named after the bear. There is a bear god in the ninth mountain range of the Five Zang Mountain Classics Zhongshan Classics: "It travels 150 miles eastward and is called Woong San. There are caves, bear caves, and getting closer to God. This is a cave that opens in summer and closes in winter. There must be soldiers in winter. There are more white jade above, more platinum below, more willows and more grass. "

The author interprets it in "The Whole Map of Mountains and Seas" (to be published) as follows: There should be more bears in Woong San, bears have the habit of hibernating, and it is abnormal for bears to come out in winter; There are many kinds of bears, but unfortunately the scriptures here don't say what bears are like here. As we all know, the giant panda is a specialty of China, and its black and white fur is very distinctive, mainly distributed in Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountain. Because Woong San is located in the Daba Mountain area here, the bear here may refer to the giant panda; At the same time, the bear god may be dressed as a giant panda by local people, and an activity to worship the bear god is held in the bear cave in summer. Therefore, if people gather in the bear cave in winter, there must be an emergency, which indicates that war will break out.

It is worth noting that "Historical Records of Chu Benji" records "the ancestor of Chu, since the emperor Zhuan Xu and Levin". From then on, Levin was born. He was born with Shuzhang (a old boys), and Shuzhang was born with Li. Li Zhong's younger brother is Ng Wui (Zhu Rong), and Wu Huisheng is Lu Zhong; Lu Sheng had six children, six of whom were Ji Lian, surnamed Mi, and later Chu. Ji Liansheng is attached to the house, and he is attached to the cave bear. After that, at the micro level, either in China or in barbarians, they were empowered to help the world. In Zhou Wenwang, the Miao people in Jilian were called raccoons, and their names later used the word "bear". According to this, the gods of "Nine Classics" may be the ancestors of Chu.

In short, although the panda is clumsy, the bear also has a mighty character: people don't attack me, I don't attack, I'm not weak.

3. The cultural connotation of the flame.

Huanhuan Fuwa is a fire doll, symbolizing the Olympic flame and embodying sports passion. He spread his passion all over the world and conveyed the Olympic spirit faster, higher and stronger. Everywhere Huanhuan went, Beijing 2008 was full of enthusiasm for the world. Huanhuan headdress originated from the flame patterns in Dunhuang murals. He is extroverted and unrestrained, familiar with all kinds of ball games, representing the red ring of the Olympic rings.

Besides, China people like to compare prosperity with prosperity, because fire is a symbol of vitality. At the same time, China people have worshipped fire since ancient times. In the article Scientific Connotation of Fang Bi Bird, Kitchen God and Suiren, the author points out that Fang Bi Bird was the earliest fireman, Kitchen God (Yan Di) first solved the technical problem of avoiding carbon monoxide poisoning, and Suiren was the earliest human being. In fact, the author has written a series of articles in recent years and put forward the theory of intelligent autonomous design and the theory of general intelligence. This theory holds that human beings should be defined as "animals that use fire", and only "people can be counted as holding torches"! Because the earliest evidence of human using fire was found in China (Zhoukoudian Beijinger), China is really the hometown of human origin.

4. Cultural connotation of Tibetan antelope welcoming guests.

Yingying is a clever, agile and flying Tibetan antelope. He comes from the vast western land of China and sends his best wishes to the world. Yingying is a unique protected animal in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and a demonstration of the Green Olympics. Yingying's head decoration combines the decorative styles of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Xinjiang and other western regions. He is agile and an excellent track and field athlete, representing the yellow ring in the Olympic rings.

Furthermore, in ancient China, sheep were symbols of good luck and beauty, such as three sheep opening Thailand. In early summer, Yan Di people (originated from Jiang Shui), Hou Ji people (mother is from Jiangyuan), Qiang people and Tibetans all take sheep as totem animals. Therefore, choosing Tibetan antelope as the mascot of Beijing Olympic Games can send a clear message to the world that "Tibet has been an important part of Chinese culture since ancient times".

5. The cultural connotation of Swift Nini

Nini is from the sky. She is a swallow spreading her wings and flying. Her modeling creativity comes from the traditional Shayan kite in Beijing. Yan also stands for Yanjing (the title of ancient Beijing). Nini brings spring and joy to people. Wherever she flies, she spreads good wishes of "good luck". Naive, cheerful and agile Nini will make her debut in gymnastics competition. She represents the green ring in the Olympic rings.

Furthermore, the swallow is a "mysterious bird" and a totem animal of Shang Dynasty. In addition, Shao Hao people named their official positions after birds, which is like an ancient kingdom. Birds pay tribute to the phoenix. At the same time, China ancestors thought that the sun has three legs (sunbird, golden bird and fire phoenix), so birds can also represent the sun and light.

To sum up, the fish is actually a dragon, the panda Fuwa jingjing (Jing) is homophonic for today (Jin), and the flame Fuwa Huanhuan (hui) is similar. The Tibetan antelope Fuwa symbolizes Pentium, the swallow Fuwa symbolizes flying, and the five Fuwa together literally mean "Beijing welcomes you", but there is also the artistic conception of "Today's dragon will take off".

I sincerely wish that the Fuwa Olympic Games will bring good luck to people all over the world, so that the real cry of peace, friendship and progress can be transmitted to all parts of the world higher, faster and stronger. At the same time, I also hope that the athletes in China can take this as the driving force, work hard and make positive progress, and show their skills and win the championship in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Win glory for the people of the motherland and the Chinese nation! The mascot scheme of Beijing Olympic Games embodies the painstaking efforts of countless artists and representatives from all walks of life, and is the crystallization of collective wisdom.
