The meaning of Olympic rings and Fuwa.

The Olympic rings are composed of five Olympic rings, with five colors of blue, black, red, yellow and green, representing the five continents participating in the modern Olympic Games-Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and America. According to the Olympic Charter, the meaning of the five rings symbolizes the unity of the five continents and the gathering of athletes from all over the world in the Olympic Games with fair and frank competition and friendly spirit.
