What is the design concept of the Beijing Olympic torch?

The creative inspiration of the torch for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games comes from the harmonious "Xiangyun" pattern. Xiangyun, a cultural concept, has a history of thousands of years in China and is a representative cultural symbol of China.

The design of the torch was inspired by the traditional paper roll in China. The application of lacquer red, which originated in the Han Dynasty, made it obviously different from the torch design of previous Olympic Games, and the contrasting colors of red and silver produced eye-catching visual effects. The torch is divided into upper and lower parts, the auspicious cloud pattern and the three-dimensional relief process design make the whole torch elegant and gorgeous, with rich connotations.

Value meaning

The excellent design of the torch adds a unique China color to the relay, and "Xiangyun" conveys the auspicious and peaceful message of the Beijing Olympic Games to the whole world. I am convinced that the torch relay of the Beijing Olympic Games will leave many unusual memories in the memory of people all over the world and create new dreams. ?

From the beginning of the judging, the creative scheme of "Paper Scroll" attracted the attention of many Chinese and foreign judges with strong China flavor. It subtly implies the role of one of four great inventions of ancient china's papers in the torch.

The torch is taken from the concept of "auspicious clouds", which is very consistent with the theme of "harmonious journey" in the torch relay of Beijing Olympic Games. Its relay activity is the longest relay route, the widest relay range and the largest number of participants in the Olympic history, which has written a brilliant chapter in the history of the Olympic movement.
