What is the design concept of the torch for the Hangzhou Asian Games?

The design concept of the torch for the Hangzhou Asian Games comes from Liangzhu culture with a history of 5,000 years. With solemn atmosphere and far-reaching modeling, it shows the unique creativity of China design and the hard-core power made in China to the world through the torch bearer's hand transmission.

The torch shape "grows" from bottom to top, with an overall height of 730mm and a net weight of1.200 g. Torch base, with eight water veins as the pulse of civilization, represents eight major water systems in Zhejiang; The torch body, with the evolution of the spiral pattern of Liangzhu, looks like a fingerprint, naturally intertwined, exquisite and fine.

Torch crown, characterized by the semantic meaning of Yu Cong, Fiona Fang blends and stands proudly; The design of the fire escape comes from the earliest Oracle Bone Inscriptions-shaped "Cong", which means "the light of the inner circle is endless"; The overall contour curve is like holding firewood, which shows the athlete's sense of strength and convergence from the outside in motion and static.

Characteristics of "paying fire"

Supported by natural flame and intelligent technology, the torch is unique in the torch design of previous large-scale activities. After repeated argumentation and optimization, it has broken through the technical bottlenecks such as technology, materials, production and transportation.

Raw materials are digitally wound through blockchain technology, and traceability mechanism is used to ensure authenticity; The metal part adopts 1070 aluminum alloy spinning forming process, and the surface undergoes two processes: laser engraving and anodic oxidation. The grip is made of recyclable biomass materials, which is light, environmentally friendly and easy to grasp. Fuel is biomass gas, which is clean, safe and reliable.
