When she brought out a "Mahjong" at the Olympics, I felt that this was not a simple matter...

yesterday

The 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing

100 days to the opening

Beijing Winter Olympics medal "Tongxin" officially unveiled~

The medal is composed of a ring and a center

The image is derived from the ancient Chinese concentric circle jade bi

Five rings in total

Five rings are united, and the heart is in the circle

It expresses the Chinese cultural connotation of "Heaven and Earth are united and people's hearts are one"

It also symbolizes the people of the world

Inspired by the Olympic spirit

Unity

Sharing the Winter Olympics

The medal's front ring is dented

Inspired by traditional string pattern jade bi

The elegant "Chinese-style" details make the medal more three-dimensional

The ice and snow patterns show the characteristics of the Winter Olympics

The auspicious cloud pattern conveys auspicious meaning

And it echoes the 2008 Olympic Games

On the ring on the back of the medal

Engraved with 24 points and motion arcs

Inspired by ancient astronomical maps

Symbolizes the vast starry sky

Harmony between man and nature

It also symbolizes the 24th Winter Olympics

Athletes shine like stars

Write a wonderful chapter

The medal strap also has oriental characteristics

Using traditional mulberry silk weaving technology

Color selection: red

In line with the cultural characteristics of the Chinese Spring Festival

Yet another interesting design detail!

Compared with the Summer Olympics

Winter Olympics medals are generally too big

Because the Winter Olympic athletes' clothing is heavy

If the medal is too small, it will not be eye-catching enough

After repeated comparison

The design team set the medal’s diameter at 8.7 centimeters

The overall shape of the "Tongxin" medal is simple and concise

Reflecting the Winter Olympics' "simple, safe and exciting" requirements

At the same time as the 2008 Olympic medals

"Gold inlaid with jade" echoes

It also shows the cultural heritage of the "Double Olympic City"

Once this "large peripheral" is released

It sparked heated discussions among netizens

Medals as "large peripherals"

We can't have it.

but……

Aren’t there also peripheral badges?

Watching the Tokyo Olympics

I wonder if you still remember this scene?

In the gymnastics balance beam final

Chinese girl Tang Qianjing suddenly took out a piece

Mahjong tiles are shown to the camera

The sharp-eyed audience recognized it at a glance

This is the emblem of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics

Netizens commented:

“I thought it was a mahjong game”

“The Winter Olympics surrounding area is so much fun!”

But this Winter Olympics surrounding far more than that

On the official sales website of Winter Olympics souvenirs

You can understand what it means

Make souvenirs more interesting

Like the Winter Olympics above

"200 Days Countdown Badge"

The last “0” is a rotating shape!

Because the 200-day countdown coincides with the Tokyo Olympics

The Summer and Winter Olympics have never been so close.

"Over the cherry blossoms in Tokyo

It's the snowflakes in Beijing."

This design is both clever and

A little bit of romance

And this set of "Countdown Badges"

It can also form a complete series

From 1000 days, 800 days

Two years and then 200 days...

Each piece has a different design

When you collect them all and put them together

This forms the number "0"

——It is the end of the countdown

It also means the official opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics

Such a design countdown badge

Just the tip of the iceberg around the Beijing Winter Olympics

In the emblems of previous Winter Olympics

Unique

2016 Rio Summer Olympics & 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics Emblems

2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics Emblem

Beijing Winter Olympics promotes traditional culture

A more conceptual design

For example, the ancient mythology series——

Includes "Kuafu Chasing the Sun" and "Nuwa Repairing the Sky"

"Yu the Great Controls the Flood" and "Chang'e Flies to the Moon"

Did you notice it?

Every mythological image selected

It’s all about sports.

These four stories are well known in China.

I believe that foreign athletes will get it

You will definitely be curious and get "popular science"

There is also the familiar "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea"

Same as the countdown series

This is a large collection of patchwork badges

The whole set can form a scroll painting

Can also be removed individually

Look carefully

You will find every fairy

It also incorporates the ice and snow events of the Winter Olympics

For example, Cao Guojiu who participated in high-rise ski jumping

He Xiangu of figure skating, etc.

Humorous and interesting

It is also a fusion of tradition and modernity

Mythology and the Olympics merge

In addition to the fairy tales

There are also sports that ancient people loved to watch.

It was also made into a badge

For example, playing Go, racing dragon boats, and playing Cuju

…

From drawing to color matching, it is very exquisite

On a small piece of metal

Demonstrates outstanding traditional skills and craftsmanship

There are also badges of "Four Great Inventions" and "Four Treasures of the Study".

These badges

There is no word "China" printed on it.

But it is clearly reminiscent of China

Because these are all unique cultural traditions of China.

Winter Olympics souvenirs also have a "childhood memories" series

Like glass marbles, feather shuttlecock

Windmill, Clockwork Frog

…

Vividly restore the childhood games in your memory

The opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics

During the Chinese Lunar New Year

Therefore, the organizing committee specially launched the Spring Festival series

Traditional New Year symbols are made into badges

It is not difficult to find

The reason why this year's Olympic surroundings are so popular

It is to integrate various traditional Chinese cultures

All condensed into a small badge

But it doesn't look rustic or old-fashioned

Even the common zodiac signs

All are made of new ideas and beauty

The official has designed each zodiac sign and attached an explanation

In addition to the animals themselves

Even the corresponding background is annotated

Not all badges are cartoony or brightly colored.

There are also pictures like the following one: "Beijing under the snow"

With deep feelings

In previous Olympic Games

Olympic venues are often

Fixed elements that appear on the Olympic badge

This time, the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee also came up with something new

A step further in design

There is a small mechanism in each badge.

Each venue can be expanded

It contains pictures of projects held in various venues.

As for the mascot "Bing Dwen Dwen", it will not be absent.

It is cute in every subject.

Very cute

The emblem of the Paralympic Winter Games mascot "Shuey Rhon Rhon"

Also very attentive

Each badge is engraved with Braille

The emblem design of this Winter Olympics

So creative

Winter Olympics under the epidemic

Not only did we overcome many difficulties

It has achieved progress beyond hardware

Comprehensive upgrade of cultural and creative products and cultural output

Show the world a

A more advanced, more modern and more aesthetic China!
