Traditional Culture of the Opening Ceremony of Paralympic Games

There are actually two reasons why wheelchair curling can be unveiled at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Paralympics. On the one hand, director Zhang Yimou wants to show the world China's modern technology through wheelchair curling. On the other hand, director Zhang Yimou thinks that wheelchair curling is creative and can control the countdown time well.

1. Zhang Yimou wants to show China's technology to other countries. In the countdown to the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Paralympics, Zhang Yimou used wheelchair athletes to do curling on the field to do the countdown. On the one hand, it wants to show China's science and technology to the rest of the world. Because the curling used in the countdown to the opening ceremony is actually a robot researched by China people, which has promoted China's science and technology to a certain extent, and can also show the world the level of China's scientific and technological development. After all, through the display of these robots, we can clearly understand the level of scientific and technological development in China, and it is also an opportunity for China to introduce its development to other countries in the world.

Secondly, Zhang Yimou can better control the countdown by using wheelchair curling. Director Zhang Yimou used wheelchair curling as the countdown at the Beijing Winter Paralympics, on the one hand, because the countdown was particularly novel. Because in the countdown to the Winter Paralympics in the past, athletes were never allowed to join them, and any sport of the Winter Paralympics was never counted down. Therefore, from this perspective, it is creative for Zhang Yimou to use wheelchair curling as the countdown to the opening ceremony, and this sport can also control the countdown time in place.

To sum up, I personally think that wheelchair curling will appear at the opening ceremony, first of all, because this sport can combine China science and technology to show the world the scientific and technological development of China, and on the other hand, it can control and count down the time more accurately.
