Written by Yixin Dong
"At the 1982 New Drian Games, a sports poster with elephant elements attracted me and made me interested in sports. That year, many children like me learned a lot about sports because of these funny posters, which also changed many people's lives. I believe that the spirit and culture conveyed by the Hangzhou Asian Games will also affect more people in Asia. Rohit, a journalist from India, said.
On October 10, a number of overseas media walked into the China International Design Museum of the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou to watch "Society, Public, Culture - International Sports Visual Design Exhibition". During this time, Rohit couldn't help but feel emotional resonance when he saw the propaganda poster, sharing his childhood experiences and insights with other journalists.

It is reported that "Society, Public, Culture - International Sports Visual Design Exhibition" takes more than 200 classic sports poster documents at home and abroad and the visual design plan of the Hangzhou Asian Games as the main content, showing the public the diversified value created by sports and the impact of sports development on society, the public and culture.
"Sports are often used as a cultural symbol, and sports design is to help the public further understand sports culture, promote and promote the development of sports through the exploration of sports connotation and form. Good design is based on historical and cultural symbols, and through good sports visual design, the public can better understand, appreciate and respect diverse human civilizations. Curator Cai Shiwei introduced at the scene.

"Where did the design inspiration for the Hangzhou Asian Games emblem 'Chao Yong' come from?" Mohammed, a journalist from Iran, asked.
"Zhejiang's Qiantang River and Qianjiang Chaotou are the core of the emblem, the fan shape reflects the cultural meaning of Jiangnan, the track represents sports competition, the Internet symbol fits the characteristics of Hangzhou city, and the sun graphic is the symbol of the Olympic Council of Asia. Although it integrates multiple elements, the whole is harmonious and unified. Song Jianming, professor of the China Academy of Art and design director of the Hangzhou Asian Organizing Committee, answered.
The eclecticism and harmony of Chinese culture is also reflected in the subtleties of the exhibition. Different from the previous "one-way" storytelling, this exhibition features a digital interactive session, where the audience can enter text content on the experience platform and the system can generate an AI design pattern that contains both customized elements and Chinese cultural characteristics.
