Information of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games

The five Olympic rings are blue, yellow, black, green and red from left to right, representing the Olympic movement, five continents and athletes from all over the world gathered together to participate in the Olympic Games. Official website's suggestion that "each ring represents a corresponding continent" is wrong.

The birth of the five-ring flag

1965438+In June 2004, the International Olympic Committee held its16th plenary session in Paris. The closing day of the plenary session, June 23rd, coincides with the 20th anniversary of Coubertin's first Olympic Games in Paris-Sorbonne. On the occasion of celebrating the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Olympic Movement, Baron Coubertin, President of the International Olympic Committee, presented his masterpiece-the flag of the International Olympic Committee, which is a five-ring flag with five colors of blue, yellow, black, green and red on a white background.

Coubertin expounded the symbolic significance of this flag: "The five rings of blue, yellow, black, green and red represent the five continents participating in the Olympic spirit. In addition, these six colors (including white background) contain the colors of national flags of all countries in the world without exception. Yellow and blue represent Sweden, black, blue and white represent Greece and France, and Britain, America, Germany, Belgium, Italy and Hungary are among them. Yellow and red represent Spain, and the colors of Brazil, Australia, Japan and China are also included. This is obviously an international symbol. " There was warm applause at the plenary session, and the participants were amazed at the form, color and meaning of this flag and were very happy.

Later, five rings of different colors were used to explain the Olympic rings.

Also known as the Olympic ring, it is blue, yellow, black, green and red from left to right. This logo was designed by Coubertin at the first modern Olympic Games. The original design idea was to summarize the colors of the national flags of member countries, but later there were other explanations for these five colors. In the Olympic Review (No.40) published in 1979, the International Olympic Committee emphasized that the meaning of the five rings is "symbolizing the unity of the five continents, and athletes from all over the world will gather at the Olympic Games in a fair and frank competition and friendly spirit". It is a symbol of five continents.

The story of the origin of the Olympic rings

Speaking of the origin of the five rings, there has been such an interesting story. 1936 1 1 The torch relay was held for the first time in Berlin Olympic Games. The torch relay route starts from Olympia, leaves northern Greece, crosses Austria along the Danube, and finally enters Germany. In order to set off this symbolic activity, Carl Dim, chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee, and his colleagues arranged the passing ancient Greek ruins almost completely according to the scene of the ancient Olympic Games. A special ceremony will be held when the torch arrives at the ancient sports ground in Panacas Mountain, Delphi. At this time, Tim had a whim, and designed and carved the five rings of the modern Olympic Movement on the four sides of a rectangular stone about 3 feet high, and put them on the starting line of the ancient sports ground. After the ceremony, the torch continued northward, but this stone as a prop was left in the ancient sports ground.

Because few people know the true identity of this stone engraved with five rings (later called "dim stone"), it has been regarded as "the remains of the ancient Olympic Games with a history of 3,000 years" for a long time. It was not until the 1960s that Greek officials in Delphi pointed out this mistake. 1972 In May, this fake cultural relic was sent to another place in Delphi-the entrance of Rome Square.

In fact, the five-ring symbol of the modern Olympic movement comes from Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games. Coubertin thought that the Olympic movement should have its own logo, and this idea lingered in his mind for a long time. 19 13, he finally conceived and designed the five-ring logo and the Olympic flag printed with five rings on a white background, and planned to launch this logo on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the International Olympic Committee.

1June, 979, the International Olympic Committee officially announced the meaning of the Olympic flag and the five rings: according to the Olympic Charter, the meaning of the Olympic flag and the five rings is: symbolizing the unity of the five continents and the gathering of athletes from all over the world in a fair and frank competition and friendly spirit at the Olympic Games.

1965438+June 2004/kloc-0 ~ May 23rd, the International Olympic Committee held a congress at the Sorbonne College in Paris, France, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the International Olympic Committee. At the commemorative meeting, Coubertin took out his five-ring logo and a flag printed with the five rings for everyone to show, and suggested that they should be used as symbols of the Olympic Movement. After listening to Coubertin's explanation of the five-ring symbol, the meeting decided to use the Olympic rings and the Olympic flag as the Olympic symbols.

The Olympic five-ring symbol is made up of five Olympic rings nested from left to right, which can be monochrome, blue, yellow, black, green and red. The original explanation was that the five colors represented the colors of national flags, and later the five rings with different colors were interpreted as symbols of the five continents. The International Olympic Committee chose five connected rings as its logo and chose the corresponding colors. The five rings represent five continents: Oceania, Africa, America, Asia and Europe.

Significance and meaning of the Olympic rings: This symbol symbolizes the gathering of athletes from five continents and the whole world at the Olympic Games, which fully embodies the content of Olympism and the theme of "Olympic family" of "all countries-all nationalities".

The Olympic logo was originally designed according to Coubertin's proposal in 19 13. At first, the International Olympic Committee used blue, yellow, black, green and red as the colors of the five rings, because it could represent the colors of the national flags of IOC member countries at that time. 19 14 at the Olympic plenary meeting held in Paris to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the revival of the Olympic Games, Mr. Coubertin expounded his design concept of the logo: "The five rings-blue, yellow, green, red and black rings, symbolizing the sixth color that five continents in the world recognize the Olympic Movement and are ready to participate in the Olympic Games-mean that all countries can participate in the Olympic Games without exception. Therefore, the five rings, as the symbol of the Olympic Games, embody Coubertin's thought that colonial nationalities can be absorbed to participate in the Olympic Games and serve the peace cause of all ethnic groups.

The colors of the Olympic rings: blue, yellow, black, green and red, have become symbols of the five continents. With the passage of time and the development of the Olympic movement, the interpretation of the Olympic symbol has also changed. According to the supplementary explanation of 199 1 the latest edition of the Olympic Charter, the meaning of the Olympic flag and the five rings not only symbolizes the unity of the five continents, but also emphasizes that all participating athletes should meet each other in a fair and frank sportsmanship.

The meaning of the Olympic five-ring flag: At the opening of each Olympic Games, an Olympic flag must be hung high in the center of the stadium, and there are five rings in the middle of this white flag. It was made according to the suggestions and ideas of Baron Pierre De Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games.

The five rings of different colors of the Olympic flag (sky blue for Europe, yellow for Asia, black for Africa, grass green for Australia and red for America) are connected together, symbolizing the unity of the five continents and that athletes from all over the world will gather in the Olympic Games in a fair and frank competition and friendly spirit, thus promoting the development of the Olympic movement.

The Olympic flag is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide with a white background, which symbolizes purity. Blue, yellow, black, green and red are interlocking. 19 14, the Olympic flag was raised for the first time at the Olympic Games held in Paris. 1920, the Olympic flag flew for the first time at the Summer Olympic Stadium in Antwerp. After this Olympic Games, the Belgian Olympic Committee presented the same national flag to the International Olympic Committee, which was hung during the Olympic Games and then customized. At the opening ceremonies of previous Olympic Games, the flag was handed over by the last host city and kept by the host city. During the competition, only substitutes were hung in the main stadium. 1952, Oslo presented the flag of the International Olympic Committee for the Winter Olympics, which was handed over, preserved and used in the same way as the Summer Olympics.

In a sense, our Chinese has many connotations, and Fuwa represents many auspicious feelings.

First, Fuwa's theory of five elements is full of profound philosophy. The five elements are China's ancient material view and the source of Chinese civilization. It originated from the ancestor Fu or earlier, and China's profound astronomy, calendar, Yijing, Confucianism and Taoism all originated from the wisdom of the five elements. The five elements mentioned by the ancients refer to: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. They believe that nature is composed of these five elements, that is to say, the five elements are used to explain the origin and diversity of everything in the world. In this sense, Jin Yan is gold, panda is wood, fish is water, flame is fire, Tibetan antelope is earth, and Jin Mu is used to express sports will, which shows that China is a country with a history of 5,000 years, which embraces everything in the world, and also implies that China people are broad-minded and boundless. The meaning of the five elements used in traditional Chinese medicine: gold, which represents the properties of subsidence, cold and convergence, is lung. Wood, representing the function of growth, growth and comfort, is the liver. Water, representing the nature of moistening, cooling and sealing, is the kidney. Fire represents warmth, upward and heart. Soil represents biochemistry, bearing, acceptance, etc. , is the spleen. The application of the five elements theory to medicine in Neijing has played an important role in studying and sorting out the clinical experience accumulated by the ancients and forming a theoretical system with Chinese medicine characteristics. In the late Warring States period, the five elements were put forward, namely, Jin Kemu, Mutuke, Tukeshui, Shuihoke and Huojinke. Jinshui, aquatic wood, Muhuo, Huotu, Tujin. These thoughts are the inventions of the ancients, and also conform to the theory that matter is the origin of the world in modern materialism, which contains natural laws and philosophical thoughts. Fuwa's theory of five elements is scientific and profound.

Secondly, Fuwa's response to the Five Rings is full of cultural wisdom. The color symbols of the Olympic rings represent five continents: blue (Europe), black (Africa), red (America), yellow (Asia) and green (Australia). According to the spirit of the Olympic Charter, the five-color ring symbolizes the unity of the five continents. Athletes meet in the spirit of active competition and friendship, and its cultural connotation is very rich. Fuwa is an extension and portrayal of the five rings. "Fuwa Beibei" prototype fish baby, from Jianghu, represents prosperity. The patterns of fish and water symbolize prosperity and harvest in China traditional culture and art, and "fish" also contains more auspicious wishes. Pure and lovely Beibei, like a master of water sports, is the representative of the blue ring in the five rings. The prototype panda "Fuwa Jingjing" comes from the forest, representing joy and symbolizing the harmony between man and nature. The Yellow Emperor in ancient China, also known as the Xiong family; In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the ancestor of Chu was also named after a bear, and the later king was named Xiong Qu. It can be seen that its historical origin is long. Naive panda is the black symbol in the five rings. The prototype Olympic flame of "Fuwa Huanhuan" represents passion. In ancient China, Suiren invented drilling for fire, which became the birthplace of the world's kindling and made a big step forward for human society. Ancient wars were also dominated by fire attack; This shows that fire is indeed a sacred flame in our country. Nowadays, the flame is burning, conveying the faster, higher and stronger Olympic spirit to the world. Huanhuan is a metaphor for athletes of various ball games and represents the red ring in the five rings. The prototype Tibetan antelope "Fuwa Yingying" comes from the plateau and represents health. According to historical records, Yan Di nationality originated in Jiang Shui, and sheep is also a symbol of good luck and a demonstration of green Olympics. "Fuwa Yingying" is a metaphor for agile track and field athletes and represents the yellow ring in the five rings. The prototype swallow of "Fuwa Nini" comes from the sky and represents luck. Swallow, commonly known as the mysterious bird, is the totem of Shang Dynasty, and "Swallow" also represents Yanjing (Beijing). Swallows are messengers of spring. It speaks softly, is light and agile, and brings happiness and blessings to people. Fuwa Nini is a gymnast, which is the green part of the five rings. Colorful Fuwa is the symbol of the Olympic rings.

Third, Fuwa said to Five Blessingg, indicating good luck. Five blessings is the nicest blessing from China people. The word "Five Blessingg", which originated from Hong Fan in Shangshu, refers to: long life (long life), wealth (wealth and dignity), health and tranquility (health and tranquility), kindness and virtue (kindness and generosity), and a good death in Five Blessingg (no disaster, no disease, no death). Who can say that Fuwa's response to Five Blessingg is unlucky?

Fourthly, Fuwa's response to idioms is appropriate. Idioms with five words are of great significance. All corners of the country (five continents and four seas) means uniting the majority of people, and the five dolls represent all corners of the country. The Olympic Games is a big family. The participating countries and athletes come from all corners of the country. Everyone is United and enjoys peace and joy. Wutong miscellaneous place refers to all places, that is, east, west, north and south. Don't five dolls represent the world in five directions? Five-star alignment, also known as "five-star convergence", is a phenomenon used by the ancients to indicate that the five planets Jin Mu, water, fire and earth appear on the same side of the sky at the same time. Because this phenomenon is rare, the ancients thought it was a sign of good luck. At the Olympic Games, athletes from all over the world gathered in China. Isn't it a five-star party? Colorful, colorful, refers to all kinds of bright colors, then Fuwa is colorful and loved. There are various works, which are metaphors of unpredictable things and all walks of life. All kinds of sports in the Olympic Games are masterpieces in this respect. Impressive metaphor admiration to the extreme. Fuwa will join people all over the world in admiring the outstanding performance of athletes. Five winds and ten rains, five generations of Qi Chang, five hundred arhats, learning to be rich in five cars, five sons taking exams, and five buckets of rice not bending over ... are all the credit of Fuwa.

Fifth, Fuwa wants to tell other countries that it has China characteristics. Many Olympic host countries choose to make mascots, which can be said to have their own characteristics. 1972 At the Munich Olympic Games, Germany introduced the purebred beagle "Valdi" as the mascot. This elf with short ears and thighs is agile, tenacious and patient, which embodies the athlete's character. The colorful colors around symbolize the colorful land of Germany and express a lively and harmonious atmosphere. 1976 The mascot of the Montreal Olympic Games is a beaver, and its name is "Amik". Compared with more and more complicated designs in the future, Amik is the simplest mascot in previous Olympic Games. 1980 Misa, the mascot of the Moscow Olympic Games, is a cute and lively little brown bear. Misa shed tears at the closing ceremony, because the war destroyed the Olympic Games and unity and friendship, and was called the most emotional mascot. There are also 1984 "Uncle Sam", 1988 "Dolly Tiger", 1992 "Kobe Bryant", 1996 "Izz" and "Sydney 2000" mascots.
