Traditional Cultural Elements in Beijing Winter Olympics

Calligraphy and seal cutting in the emblem: Inspired by the Chinese character "winter", the emblem of Beijing Winter Olympics shows the ups and downs of the track and the vigorous posture of the ice and snow athletes with calligraphy. The 30 sports icons of the Beijing Winter Olympics are inspired by the structure of Chinese characters, and incorporate the seal cutting that has been passed down for thousands of years. China has put special "seals" on 30 winter Olympics events.

Medals with one heart and jade: The medals of Beijing Winter Olympics condensed the wisdom of Chinese ancestors more than 5,000 years ago. The design inspiration and visual source of the back of the medal is the jade double jade with concentric circles in Lingjiatan culture more than 5,000 years ago. The Winter Olympics medal * * * has five rings, meaning that the five rings are concentric and concentric, expressing the cultural connotation of "heaven and earth are United as one" in China, and also symbolizing that the Olympic spirit brings people together.

Winning Bouquets and Shanghai Intangible Heritage: The winning bouquets of Beijing Winter Olympics are different from the past. Instead of flowers, they used the Shanghai intangible cultural heritage project "Shanghai style knitting skills".

Torch and Yi Deng, China: The overall appearance of the "Yang Fei" torch rotates and rises, like a fluttering ribbon, and finally appears as a flying flame. The creativity of the torch relay logo comes from the "golden phoenix" and "fire pattern" in China traditional culture, which means auspiciousness, harmony and endless life. The flying dynamic "silk" echoes the fire and fluctuates like the Great Wall in Wan Li, China.

Winter Olympics kindling collected from Greece came to Beijing in kindling lamps. The idea of the kindling lantern originated from the Changxin Palace lantern in the Western Han Dynasty, the first Iraqi lantern in China, and expressed people's pursuit and yearning for light and hope through the implication of "Changxin Palace".

The torch platform with the design concept of "bearing heaven and carrying things" is inspired by the traditional bronze ritual vessel "Zun" in China. The torch platform is arc-shaped with a stable base, symbolizing "everything on the ground".

Ruyi and Tian Fei in the venues: You can also see the imprint of China's traditional culture in the competition venues of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

The National Ski Platform Center in Zhangjiakou Division adopts the traditional "Ruyi" shape of China, so it is called "Snow Ruyi".

Shougang ski platform, with freestyle and snowboarding platforms, is inspired by the "flying" ribbon in Dunhuang murals.
