What patterns represent what is one of China's four great inventions, what bears the imprint of China for thousands of years, what is the trend, what is culture and what is inheritance.

The theme elements of the torch for the Beijing Olympic Games include the traditional moire symbol paper representing the four great inventions of China and the lacquer red bearing the impression of China for thousands of years. Its original design concept comes from the traditional "moire" symbol in China, which implies "origin * * * birth, harmony * * *". Through the oriental spirit of "nature of heaven and earth, humanism, tolerance and openness", with the help of Xiangyun, we will spread harmonious culture and pass on oriental civilization.
