What is the design concept of the torch for the 2008 Olympic Games? Please, great gods.

The creation inspiration of the torch comes from the "auspicious clouds" pattern of "origin, harmony and harmony", and the design inspiration of the torch modeling comes from the traditional paper scrolls in China. The cultural concept of Xiangyun has a time span of several thousand years in China, and it is a representative cultural symbol of China. "Xiangyun is a very peaceful and harmonious image, which is very consistent with China's concept and the whole Olympic spirit, and can also show the confident and uplifting mental state of China people." Zhang Jun said that the concept of auspicious clouds is not only reflected in the theme to be expressed by the torch, but also in all aspects of design. "We made a very in-depth design, including the shape of Xiangyun and the second half of the torch." Yao Yingjia believes that symbols such as moire or such patterns have fallen from a spiritual symbol into the homes of ordinary people, whether it is architecture, clothing, daily necessities, etc. "Today, its frequent appearance almost makes us ignore its powerful appeal." Paper is one of the four great inventions in China and spread to the west through the Silk Road. Human civilization spread with the appearance of paper. In this regard, Zhang Jun said, "Paper roll is one of the four great inventions in China, which can be said to be the carrier of inheriting civilization or transmitting civilization, just in line with the spirit to be transmitted by our torch, so we choose it as the carrier of transmitting the theme of harmony." Zhang Jun said that the scientific and technological content of the torch of the Beijing Olympic Games has reached a new height: the torch is 72 cm long, weighs 985 grams, burns for 15 minutes, and the flame height is 25 to 30 cm at zero wind speed, which can be identified and photographed in strong light and sunlight; In terms of technology, one-step forming technology of conical surface and aluminum etching coloring technology are adopted; It has reached a new technical height in terms of combustion stability and adaptability to the external environment, and can keep burning under the conditions of strong wind with a speed of 65 kilometers per hour and rainstorm with a speed of 50 millimeters per hour. Zhang Jun said that "Xiangyun" design embodies the concept of "People's Olympics". The torch of Beijing Olympic Games uses the pattern of "auspicious clouds" to express the theme of harmony. The technology adopts light and high-quality aluminum alloy and hollow plastic parts design, which is very light, and the lower part is sprayed with high-touch plastic paint, which feels comfortable and is not easy to slip; The contrasting colors of red and silver produce striking visual effects, which is beneficial to various forms of media communication. The torch is divided into upper and lower parts, and the design of Xiangyun pattern and three-dimensional relief technology makes the whole torch elegant, gorgeous and rich in connotation, which all embodies the "humanistic Olympic concept" of the Beijing Olympic Games. Zhang Jun also said that "Xiangyun" design embodies the concept of "Green Olympics". He said, "Xiangyun" is 72 centimeters long and weighs 985 grams. The design of "Xiangyun" is not only suitable for torchbearers and media, but also full of scientific and technological content, and also embodies the concept of "green Olympics". The fuel used by Xiangyun is propane, which is not only cheap, but also has a benefit-the main components are carbon and hydrogen. After combustion, there are only carbon dioxide and water, and there are no other substances, which will not pollute the environment. In addition, the materials used to make the torch shape are also recyclable and environmentally friendly materials.
