What is the moral of snowflakes in the Winter Olympics?

Snow in the Winter Olympics means "harmony among ethnic groups".

Snowflake guide cards incorporate Chinese knot elements. The big snowflake, which is made up of many guiding cards, symbolizes the peripheral pattern of the "Concord Wanbang" medal and is inspired by the ice plum pattern of traditional Chinese patterns. Ice, snow and plum blossom, the three most representative winter images, are combined into a unique ice and snow map in ancient China. The elegance, imagination and wisdom of China people are all in this pattern.

"A snowflake" is the design concept that runs through the opening ceremony of this Winter Olympics. According to the media guide for the opening ceremony, the tourist guide card held by the tour guide adopts a shiny snowflake shape. The design inspiration comes from the pattern of "Chinese knot": Chinese knot is woven with a thread from beginning to end, which means unity and auspiciousness. Snowflake modeling also means that each delegation symbolizes a small snowflake of the Olympic family.

Zhang Yimou, the general director of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, said in an interview that the "snowflakes" from all over the world gathered in Beijing at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, which represented a more United Olympic spirit. We have all become a snowflake.

Build a snowflake

The core idea of this opening ceremony comes from the phrase "Yanshan snowflakes are as big as seats" in Popular North by Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty in China.

When the athletes enter the stadium, the guide holds a "snowflake guide card" to lead the athletes to take turns to appear. Every "snowflake" takes China as its prototype, just like the light in a diamond, which is unforgettable.

"Snowflake Guide" skillfully combines snowflakes with Chinese knot patterns, presenting a simple, ethereal and romantic ice and snow aesthetics with line modeling. China people's understanding of "harmony but difference, beauty * * *" is integrated into the design of snowflakes.
