Why is the Paralympic mascot "Edelweiss" mainly red? What does this mean?

The Winter Olympics and Paralympics are about to begin, so the mascots "Ice Shield" and "Edelweiss" also appear in everyone's field of vision. Presumably, everyone knows a lot about "Bingdun Dundun", so this article focuses on the mascot of the Winter Paralympic Games, "Edelweiss Melting".

First of all, from the name, "snow melting" and "snow" echo winter. When it comes to snow, everyone first thinks of winter and names the theme of the Paralympic Games. "Rong Rong" is mainly China's tolerance of the world culture, hoping that the world culture can be integrated. This is not only the wish of China people to respect people all over the world, but also the hope of spring after the ice and snow melt, which symbolizes the unwavering mutual respect and trust between China and the rest of the world.

First of all, the overall appearance of "melting snow" is a lovely and lively little lantern. Lanterns were invented for lighting. Later, people hung red lanterns on important festivals, which were endowed with beautiful meanings. Lanterns are also recognized as the traditional cultural heritage of China in the world. Wherever in the world, when people see hanging red lanterns, they will first think of China. Lanterns also have many beautiful meanings, symbolizing reunion and joy, as well as brightness and warmth. Edelweiss exudes warmth in the image of red lanterns, adding a little warmth to people's hearts in the cold winter. This also means that even in the face of physical illness, they have not given up a good life and have been pursuing their dreams and working hard. Now they are standing on the international stage to win glory for their country, which is very admirable. Facing the snow, using auspicious clouds is a symbol of good luck, and it also expresses our expectation for the success of this Winter Paralympic Games. Its modeling design embodies the inheritance and development of culture, communication and mutual learning.

To sum up, "Snow Rongrong" is meaningful both in name and appearance. The name points out the wish of winter and world reunion. On the outside, the combination of lanterns and auspicious clouds entrusts our good wishes and hopes that the athletes will exert their strength.
