It conveys the ideals and pursuits of the peaceful development of human society, the harmony between human beings and nature, and the harmony between human beings.

Secondly, the mascots have strong Chinese characteristics. Mascot a lot of use of rich Chinese cultural elements, multi-faceted display of the diversity of Chinese culture, Fuwa and traditional Chinese culture combined seamlessly, five Fuwa five colors are exactly the five elements of China - gold, wood, water, fire and earth, a lifetime of two instruments, two instruments give birth to four elephants, four elephants have eight trigrams, gossip, eight trigrams give birth to everything, the five Fuwa unity symbolizes the unity of the world's people. The unity of the world's people.

Third, the mascot has a broad representation.

Fourth, the mascot has original intellectual property rights and broad market development space.

Fifth, the mascot of the Beijing Olympic Games is the crystallization of collective wisdom, permeated with the wisdom and labor of all parties, especially the creation and modification of the team members played an important role, many famous domestic literary and artistic people have participated in the discussion, participated in the modification, and put forward their views.

The mascot of the Beijing Olympic Games consists of five "Fuwa": "Fuwa Huanhuan" is modeled after the Olympic flame, which represents passion. ""Fuwa Jingjing" is modeled after the Olympic flame, which represents passion. Fuwa Jingjing" is the prototype of the panda, from the forest, on behalf of joy." Fuwa Beibei" is a fish, from the rivers, lakes and seas, representing prosperity." The prototype of "Fuwa Yingying" is the Tibetan antelope, from the grassland and earth, representing the health. The prototype of "Fuwa Nini" is the Jingyan, from the sky, representing luck.

Liu Qi, chairman of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG), said: "The mascot of the Beijing Olympic Games is another special gift from China to the world and the Olympic Movement. It corresponds to the emblem and slogan of the Beijing Olympic Games and expresses the Chinese people's yearning for peace, friendship, progress and harmony in the world, and conveys the heartfelt message of "Beijing welcomes you". Beijing Olympic Games mascot has a strong Chinese characteristics, showing the cultural characteristics of China's multi-ethnic family, contains the Chinese people's understanding of the harmony between man and nature, the interdependence of all things in heaven and earth, the basic idea of harmonious operation."

In addition to his love for the Beijing Olympic Games emblem, IOC President Rogge also praised the lovely Beijing Olympic Games mascots from the bottom of his heart, writing personally to congratulate them, saying, "The Fuwa are a great little family carefully selected by the Beijing Organizing Committee to represent all of China, and they bring friendship to children in all corners of the world." Rogge said, "I love each and every one of the Fuwa characters and their story of bringing the traditional blessings of China to the world. Beijing's choice touched my heart, and I am sure Fuwa will touch the hearts of the world as well."

The reasons why none of the original 662 entries was ultimately chosen, including the Monkey King, the Chinese dragon, the phoenix, the afro, the tiger, the rabbit, the rattle and other proposals that were favorites of many crowds and netizens during the collection process, are complex.

The "Monkey King" was a favorite among many Chinese and foreigners, and many works based on it competed for the Beijing Olympics mascot. But ultimately led to the Monkey King's "lost" mainly due to two reasons, one of which is precisely "lost" in the popularity is too high. Because the Monkey King in China and even Japan, Vietnam and many other Asian countries and regions have a fairly high visibility, its extension of the product development is also quite common, in the protection of intellectual property rights will encounter considerable difficulties. When the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games and the relevant departments conducted a survey on intellectual property registration, they found that the brand registration of "The Monkey King" involved almost all fields, and the space for re-development was very narrow, which was not conducive to the protection of intellectual property rights of the mascot and the development of the market. The second is that "Sun Wukong" is an image of a literary work that is almost a household name in China, and its story is known to almost everyone. Developing it into the mascot of the Olympic Games will not be conducive to the definition and extension of its connotation, and it will be difficult to create a new story.

The third category of popular programs that fell out of favor had to be abandoned due to ambiguities in the understanding of this type of image in the outside world. One of the most typical is the image of the Chinese dragon, the dragon is the most important image of the Chinese totem, but because the dragon has a different understanding around the world, so as the mascot of the Olympic Games, also had to bear the pain. Similarly, the magpie, while favored by many Asians, is understood in some countries in exactly the opposite way.

The third breakthrough is in the mascot design application, highlighting the extension of the use of personalization. The mascot consists of two parts, the headdress and the body, is a complete image, but the headdress part can be taken down completely, separate development and production. Every adult and every child can put their favorite "hat" on their head and dress up as a mascot. This kind of application is not in the past, the interaction between people and mascots has been enhanced.

Finally, Beijing is the first time in the history of the Olympic Games that there have been five mascots, which is the most in the history of the Games. That's because Chinese culture is so profound and has so much to express.

The choice of five Fuwa for Beijing's Olympic mascot can echo the five rings of the Olympic symbol in addition to China's large population, long history and rich culture. At the same time, it is also closely related to the digital culture, which is an important component of traditional Chinese culture, such as the five elements, the five blessings, the five protectors, the five lakes and so on.

Furthermore, the use of the number "five" to represent the five directions of east, west, south, north and south is a very long cultural tradition in China. 4200 years ago, the Emperor Yu's document "Five Hidden Mountain Scriptures" divided the world into the five regions of "South Mountain Scriptures," "West Mountain Scriptures," "North Mountain Scriptures," "East Mountain Scriptures," and "Zhongshan Scriptures," and the "Middle Mountain Scriptures" of the Chinese nation, the "Middle" of the Chinese people, and the "Middle" of the Chinese people. The Chinese nation's "center", China's "center", and the Chinese people's concept of "center" all stem from this concept of orientation.

The cultural connotation of the Fuwa Beibei

Reports say that the blessing that Beibei conveys is prosperity. In traditional Chinese culture and art, "fish" and "water" pattern is a symbol of prosperity and harvest, people use "carp jump dragon gate" means success and dream realization. "Fish" also has the connotation of good fortune and year-round profit. Bei Bei's head decoration uses the Chinese Neolithic fish pattern, Bei Bei is gentle and pure, is a master of water sports, and the blue ring in the five Olympic rings reflect each other.

The author pointed out in the article "Skate Fish: Beijing Olympic Mascot" that the prototype of the dragon is a fish (doll fish to be precise), and the skate fish is the lucky animal of "the world's great Rang". The five Tibetan mountain scripture - western mountain scripture "recorded:" and one hundred and eighty miles to the west, said Tai ware of the mountain. Guanshui out of the country, west flow injection in the Liuzha. Is more skate, like carp, fish body and bird wings, pale text and white head and red beak, often traveling the West China Sea, swimming in the East China Sea, to fly at night. Its sound is like luan chicken, its flavor is sour and sweet, food has been crazy, see the world's great Rang." Mount Taiqi is located in the west of the Hetao area south of today's Yinshan Mountains, and belongs to an oasis in the desert.

The Wen ray is a flying fish, which can symbolize the leap of sports, higher, faster and stronger; the Wen ray flies between the West Sea and the East Sea, which can symbolize the exchange of civilization and culture between the East and the West. From the point of view of design and shape, the skate looks like a carp with wings, the carp is red or gold, and the stretching of the wings has a strong and distinctive sense of movement and rhythm, all these features help to design the ideal mascot pattern.

Three, panda Fuwa Jingjing's cultural connotation

Reports say Jingjing comes from the vast forest, symbolizing the harmony of man and nature **** existence. His head decoration from the Song porcelain on the lotus petal shape. Jingjing is optimistic and full of strength, representing the black ring of the five Olympic rings.

Furthermore, the panda belongs to the bear-like animals, one of the totems of the Yellow Emperor's race is the bear (Yuxiong clan), and the ancestors of Chu were also named after the bear. The five Tibetan mountain scriptures - Zhongshan Jing "9 mountain ranges recorded in the bear god:" and one hundred and fifty miles to the east, said the bear mountain. There is a cave, the bear's cave, always in and out of the gods and men. Summer open and winter closed, is the cave also, winter open Nai must have soldiers. Its upper more white jade, its lower more white gold, its wood more simarouba willow, its grass more kou de."

The author's interpretation is as follows: the bear mountain should be more bears, bears have hibernation habits, bears come out in winter is an anomaly; bears have a variety of, but unfortunately, the scripture does not say here the bear looks like. As we all know, the giant panda is China's specialty, its fur color black and white is very distinctive, mainly distributed in the Qinling Mountains, the Daba Mountain area. Since the Bear Mountain here is located in the Daba Mountain range, it is possible that the bears here refer to giant pandas; at the same time, the bear god may have been dressed up as a giant panda by the local people, and sacrifices to the bear god were held in the bear's den during the summer.

It is worth noting that the "Historical Records - Chu Benji" said that "Chu's ancestors from the emperor Zhuan Xu Gao Yang". Thereafter, Gao Yang gave birth to the name, the name was born in the chapter (Lao Tong), the chapter was born in the Chong Li. Chong Li's brother for Wu Hui (Zhu Rong), Wu Hui born Lu end; Lu end of the son of six people, six said Jilian, Mi surname, after Chu also. Jilian born with frustration, with frustration born cave bear. After the micro, or in China, or in the barbarians, can not record their lives. When King Wen of Zhou, the descendants of Jilian said sell Xiong, the name of his descendants mostly use the word "Xiong". Accordingly, in the second nine scriptures of the bear mountain, bear cave, bear God, may be the ancestors of Chu "cave bear".

In short, although the panda is naive, but the bears also have a powerful character of the side, not weak.

Four, the holy fire Fuwa Huanhuan cultural connotation

Reports say, Huanhuan Fuwa is a fire doll, symbolizing the Olympic flame, is the embodiment of the passion for sports, he will be passionate about spreading the world, conveying the Olympic spirit of faster, higher, stronger. Huanhuan wherever he goes, overflowing with Beijing 2008 enthusiasm for the world. Huanhuan's head motif is inspired by the flames in Dunhuang murals. He is an outgoing and spirited person who is familiar with all kinds of ball sports and represents the red ring of the five Olympic rings.

Furthermore, the Chinese like to use red fire as a metaphor for prosperity, as fire is a symbol of vitality. At the same time, the Chinese have worshipped fire since ancient times. Since the earliest evidence of human use of fire was found in China (Zhoukoudian Peking Man), China is also the home of human origins.

Fifth, the Tibetan antelope Fuwa Yingying's cultural connotation

Reports say Yingying is a nimble, agile, galloping Tibetan antelope that comes from the vast western part of China to spread the blessing of good health to the world. The Tibetan antelope is endemic to the Tibetan Plateau and is a symbol of the Green Olympics. The head of Yingying is decorated with the decorative styles of the Tibetan Plateau and the western region of Xinjiang. He is a fast track and field athlete and represents the yellow ring of the five Olympic rings.

Sheep were symbolic animals of good fortune and beauty in ancient China, such as the Three Sheep. During the pre-summer period, the Yandi tribe (which originated from the ginger water) and the Houji tribe (whose mother was Jiang Yuan), as well as the Qiang and Tibetan tribes, all used the sheep as a totem animal.

Sixth, Swallow Fuwa Nini's cultural connotation

Reports say Nini comes from the sky, is a swallow with wings spreading and flying, and its modeling creativity comes from Beijing's traditional sand swallow kites. The word "yan" also represents Yanjing, the ancient name for Beijing. Nini brings spring and joy to people, and spreads the good wishes of "good luck" wherever she flies. The innocent, joyful and agile Nini will make her debut in the gymnastics competition, representing the green ring of the five Olympic rings.

The swallow is the "bird of paradise", which is the totem animal of the Yin Shang tribe. In addition, the Shao Hao tribe named their official positions after birds, making it an ancient kingdom with a hundred birds facing the phoenix. At the same time, the Chinese ancestors believed that the sun had a three-legged crow (the sun bird, the golden bird, and the fire phoenix) inside it, so the bird could also represent the sun and light.

Since the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Olympic mascots have bid farewell to the "single" era, the mascot combination has become a popular trend in the Olympic Games, the 2008 Beijing Olympics selected five mascots, a breakthrough in the number of mascots in previous Olympic Games. Because this not only represents the five Olympic rings, but also with the traditional Chinese culture of "gold, wood, water, fire and earth" five elements of the said fit. In Buddhist culture, "five" represents perfection, and "five" also fits the Chinese culture "five elements (gold, wood, water, fire and earth) doctrine", more with the Olympic symbols The "Five Rings" also echoes the Olympic symbol. The five mascots have the qualities of "embodying the concept of organizing the Beijing Olympic Games and the Olympic spirit", "having strong Chinese characteristics" and "being widely representative", The mascots are characterized by five major features: "reflecting the concept of hosting the Beijing Olympics and the Olympic spirit", "with strong Chinese characteristics", "broadly representative", "with original intellectual property rights and broad market development space", and "the crystallization of collective wisdom".

In summary, the fish is actually the Chinese dragon, panda Fuwa Jingjing (jing) resonance today (jin), the sacred fire Fuwa Huanhuan (hui) and will be (hui) sound similar, the Tibetan antelope Fuwa symbolizes the gallop, swallow Fuwa symbolizes the flight, the five Fuwa together, the literal meaning is "Beijing welcomes you," connotation, however, is not the same. The five Fuwa together, literally "Beijing welcomes you", but the connotation is "China's dragon will take flight today".

Beijing Olympic mascot was unveiled, it consists of five anthropomorphized doll image, collectively referred to as "Fuwa", respectively called "Beibei", "Jingjing", "Huanhuan", "Yingying", "Nini". 5 characters pronounced harmonically as "Beijing welcomes you". Their shape incorporates fish, pandas, Tibetan antelopes, swallows and the Olympic flame, and the color corresponds to the five Olympic rings one by one, with strong visibility and affinity. Particularly striking is that it is also closely integrated with China's traditional culture, so quite Chinese characteristics.

The five rings of the Olympic Games are connected together by five different colored rings, representing the five continents: Europe (sky blue), Australia (grass green), America (red), Asia (yellow), Africa (black). The five different colored rings are tightly connected, symbolizing the friendship and unity among athletes and people around the world. The Olympic athletes are so powerful that they won the medals they were expected to win. Olympic spirit everyone boasts, on the Beijing 2008!" This is what I wrote down in a moment of emotion.

Really, in the Athens Olympic Games, the Olympic athletes shoulder the country's heavy responsibility, not to live up to the high expectations of the people of the country, with tenacious fighting spirit, support to the end, superb sportsmanship and good sportsmanship achieved brilliant achievements, to achieve a historic leap forward, a record number of gold medals in the history of the most.

The spirit of these Olympic athletes how worthy of our learning ah! But they get the medal is not to say take on the take, because they who is not "plum blossom fragrance from the bitter cold to come"? There is no plowing to pay, where is the joy of the harvest? --Students, you see, which one of them is not after a long time of training? Olympic athletes medals are not light, because it witnessed their efforts, witnessed their efforts are not in vain, and won medals, fulfilled their dreams, but also fulfilled the beautiful dream of our people.

Liu Xiang won the gold medal in the men's 110-meter hurdles at the Athens Olympic Games with the impressive achievement of leveling the world record, the difference of 0.1 seconds is the basis of success and failure. Athletes are all conquering everything by virtue of their strength. As Mr. Lu Xun said: "Great achievements and hard work are in direct proportion to the labor, there is a labor there is a harvest, day by day, from little to much, miracles can be created." Right, the athletes achieved such impressive results, not because they train every day as a result? This kind of Olympic spirit how rare ah!

If we can apply the Olympic spirit to our work, to our studies and to the lives of countless people! Then the world will definitely become better! The Olympic spirit, this is not afraid of hardship, perseverance, are to enhance the glory of their own country a great spirit!

Here, I hope that China's Olympic athletes will always keep this Olympic spirit, and win another glory in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games!

" The Olympic athletes are great, and live up to their expectations to win medals. Olympic spirit of everyone praise, on the Beijing 2008!" This is a moment of emotion I wrote down.
