Travel through the ancient paintings of the Forbidden City in one second, interpret the movement with culture, confirm civilization with cultural relics, and rediscover a familiar and novel world of ice and snow. The 20-day countdown to the Olympic Games was launched, which lasted less than a minute and a half, but received praise for its strong Chinese flavor and ingenious arrangement full of solid cultural elements.
The Olympic Games is a grand event for sports and culture.
Looking back at Beijing 2008, the "China Seal", "Auspicious Cloud Torch", the "Chinese Long Scroll" slowly unfolded in the Bird's Nest at the opening ceremony, blue and white porcelain elements can be seen everywhere at the award ceremony - when the competition in the arena settles, these cultural The demeanor is still vivid in my eyes.
Time has passed 14 years, although the ice and snow competition has not yet started, but on the stage of the Beijing Winter Olympics, a cultural event full of Chinese cultural elements has been staged.
If the ingenuity of the paper-cut short film is amazing, then from the grand construction of the venue to the detailed design of the tinder lights, every aspect of the Beijing Winter Olympics has been subtly integrated with Chinese cultural elements.
From the majestic to the delicate, these elements carry the connotation of Chinese culture, and have shown to the world its ever-new charm on the Olympic stage.
As a city's business card and landmark, the Winter Olympics venues will become the meeting place for important cultural, sports and other activities in the city, both during and after the competition.
From the Shougang Ski Jumping Platform to the National Snowmobile and Sled Center, to the National Speed Skating Stadium, a series of competition venues in the Beijing Winter Olympics bear very significant traditional Chinese cultural genes.
The Shougang Ski Jumping Platform is based on the Dunhuang mural image "Flying Sky" as its design prototype. The National Snowmobile and Sleigh Center adopts the idea of the Chinese cultural totem "Dragon". Whoever holds the color practice and dances in the sky" blends the beauty of China into one.
And its nicknames full of Chinese aesthetic charm, such as "Snow Flying Sky" and "Snow Youlong", made the Beijing Winter Olympics show the charm of oriental tradition before it took the stage.
In addition, the three Winter Olympic villages in Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou have distinct Chinese characteristics.
For example, Zhangjiakou Winter Olympic Village uses "Chinese courtyards" to interpret the Olympic concept, and its planning and design draw on the concept of courtyards in northern China.
In addition to the "big stage" itself, the Beijing Winter Olympics' ingenuity in the "prescribed actions" also fully demonstrates the traditional cultural charm under the long history.
The Winter Olympics emblem "Winter Dream" is inspired by the Chinese character "Winter" and uses the artistic form of Chinese calligraphy to integrate the profound oriental cultural heritage with the international modern style.
When the tinder for the Winter Olympics was transported from Athens to Beijing, the tinder for the Winter Olympics, which was inspired by the "China's first lamp" Changxin Palace lantern in the Western Han Dynasty, attracted many admirations.
The Changxin Palace Lantern was unearthed in Hebei, one of the Winter Olympics competition areas. It is a precious cultural relic well-known both at home and abroad.
The shape and design of the tinder table also borrows the traditional bronze ritual vessel - Zun, which reflects the concept of "bearing the sky and carrying things".
In addition, the idea of the tinder table comes from He Zun of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the design inspiration of the medal comes from the concentric round jade bi. Behind each design, it can be said that there is a philosophical thought that has both history and Chinese culture.
The 30 sports icons of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympic Games, with Xiaguang red as the background color, symbolize the sunrise in the east, and represent enthusiasm and hope.
Through the calligraphy brushwork reflected by the blade and the exquisite whiteness of the square inch, the combination of calligraphy and engraving conveys the long tradition and vivid charm that spans thousands of years.
In addition to "prescribed actions", this Winter Olympics will also stage a wonderful encounter with traditional Chinese cultural elements.
The opening of the Olympic Games coincides with the Spring Festival, a traditional Chinese festival. As the host, China attaches great importance to creating a festive atmosphere for the traditional festival and passing on its cultural atmosphere to every visitor.
The Beijing Winter Olympics will be officially unveiled on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
It is understood that from the media center to the "Beijing Story" exhibition hall, and then to the athletes' village, red lanterns, Spring Festival couplets, and blessing characters have long been arranged, and traditional cultural elements with unique Chinese characteristics can be found everywhere.
The reason why the Olympic Games can be prosperous is not only the timeless Olympic spirit, but also the memory of human civilization that is integrated into each Olympic Games.
From the majestic to the delicate, the Beijing Winter Olympics is about to start, and the Chinese cultural elements in it have been ready to welcome guests with a sincere and confident attitude.
