The Beijing Winter Olympics has a "Chinese style". In what ways does the Winter Olympics incorporate the characteristic elements of China?

During the development of Beijing Winter Olympics in China, we found that Beijing Winter Olympics incorporated many China elements and embodied many forms of Chinese style. Let's list them below.

First, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics was held on the same day in beginning of spring. Beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms, and it is also a poetic and romantic solar term, which means that a new cycle has begun. Beginning of spring solar terms, the promised ice and snow, come as promised, which is a good sign. The meaning of beginning of spring and the slogan of the Winter Olympics "Join hands to create the future" are perfectly integrated. China culture and world civilization will jointly play the spring music, which will make China traditional culture shine on the stage of the Winter Olympics and let the world know more about China and China. This spring festival deeply understands the Chinese Olympic spirit.

Second, the emblem of Beijing Winter Olympics. Inspired by the Chinese character "winter", the abstract slideway, ice and snow movement form and calligraphy are combined. Looking closely, the emblem of Beijing Winter Olympics is actually a Chinese character, designed with a winter character, which can better reflect and conform to the events of Beijing Winter Olympics, and all kinds of sports can be reflected in it, which is in line with the theme of this Winter Olympics held in winter with the theme of ice and snow. The upper part of the emblem of the Winter Olympics shows the shape of skaters, while the lower part shows the heroic spirit of skiers, which embodies the concept of holding two major sports of ice and snow in China.

Third, the torch relay of Beijing Winter Olympics. Originated from the "China Yi Deng" in the Western Han Dynasty-Changxin Palace Lantern, it represents people's pursuit and yearning for light and hope. The design concept of the ceremony platform for the Beijing Winter Olympics is "bearing heaven and carrying things", which is inspired by the traditional bronze ritual vessel "Zun" in China, and its modeling style is in harmony with the torch and kindling lamp. The torch platform is arc-shaped with a stable base, symbolizing "everything on the ground". The top is wide and wide, meaning to welcome the pure Olympic flame; Xiangyun pattern gradually turns into snowflakes from bottom to top, symbolizing the spiritual inheritance of "Double Olympic City"; The red ribbon flows and dances, spiraling upwards, which is in harmony with the torch design; Red and silver symbolize the integration of tradition and modernity, technology and passion.
