Shunji Iwai came to China for publicity.
1905 movie network news A few days ago, the animated film that was being shown in the heat announced the full documentary short film of the original author Shunji Iwai coming to China — — Meet Shunji Iwai. The short film reveals the special significance of Fireworks to Shunji Iwai and his fans: this work is an important turning point in Shunji Iwai’s creative career, and Shunji Iwai lamented that it was "incredible" to meet the animated version of Fireworks after 15 years. Interestingly, during this trip, Shunji Iwai also witnessed the public confession of the students at the scene, and the director was touched by it, encouraging everyone to pursue love boldly when they were young.
In addition, the movie "Fireworks" exposed a poster of "relationship between people". Posters show the rich relationship between characters and emotions in the film, and imply the behavioral motives of the characters, which is more convenient for the audience to analyze and interpret the plot after watching the movie.
Shunji Iwai wandered around Beijing and Shanghai to talk about the story behind Fireworks.
On November 26th and 27th, Shunji Iwai, the godfather of Japanese youth enlightenment, came to China with the original Fireworks to help promote the animated version of Fireworks to be released in China. During his hurried trip, Shunji Iwai traveled to Beijing and Shanghai to exchange views with fans, book lovers and the media.
In the short film, Shunji Iwai shared that Fireworks is a "turning point" in his creative process, which has a unique significance for himself: before, Shunji Iwai’s works tended to be the work that a professional director needed to complete, while Fireworks filmed Shunji Iwai’s own "youthful memories". For example, in the film, a group of 13-year-old boys shouted out the names of girls who had a crush on them under the blooming fireworks, which was the real experience of Shunji Iwai’s second grade primary school. As an adult, Shunji Iwai wanted to present these "sweet and sour young people" in the form of images, so the movie Fireworks was born.
At the same time, Shunji Iwai lamented that "Fireworks" was adapted into an animated film to be released in China after a lapse of 15 years, and hoped that the audience in China could enjoy it to the fullest. In addition, "Fireworks" also occupies a unique position in the hearts of fans in Shunji Iwai: a girl confessed to Shunji Iwai on the spot: "Every time I watched" Fireworks ",I cried and knew that it would be adapted into an animation and a novel. I ran around the playground three times." The animation of Fireworks can be said to have moved and expected many China fans.
Such an appeal beyond the country and generations is inseparable from Shunji Iwai’s "concentration" and "juvenile heart". In the short film, Shunji Iwai said that the most important thing in creation is to keep the mood of "longing" and "yearning". He said that he is not an ambitious director, and he just wants to focus on shooting what he likes. It is this pure mentality that enables it to always maintain its "youthful heart" and portray a delicate impression of youth.
Atlas of Character Relationship in Fireworks
"Fireworks" released the "relationship between people" map, showing rich feelings of people.
The movie "Fireworks" released a poster of "People Relationship". From this, we can see the rich angular color and interesting emotional relationship in the film. The relationship between the characters in the film is not limited to the "single" young first love, but also more rich and realistic branch relationships: for example, the friendship between classmates and teachers and students; Secondly, by analyzing this figure, the audience can clearly understand the "behavioral motives" of the characters in Fireworks. For example, the female main course Jinnai’s growing trouble and "running away" motivation come from the "love" between her mother and her new boyfriend. Finally, this poster of the relationship between people also facilitates the discussion of the plot after the movie. The movie Fireworks takes the "magic ball" that can travel through parallel time and space as a clue to construct a complex "triple world". Many netizens have made their own guesses and analyses on the film’s world outlook and open ending, and the publication of this poster on the relationship between characters facilitates the audience’s further in-depth interpretation.
The popular animated film "Fireworks" is being shown all over the country. Let’s go to the cinema to feel the good memories of our youth!
The weather is cold, and some people like to drink some wine to warm themselves up in order to keep out the cold. Is this true? Some people like to eat something delicious to make up for it. Is this right? Some people even stay at home when they don’t need it. Is this good for their health? Here are some common sense about winter for you to know.
Don’t step on the four misunderstandings of winter health preservation
Licking lips can moisturize? It will get drier and drier.
When the air is dry in cold, people’s lips are prone to chapping, causing discomfort, pain and bleeding. Many people like to lick their lips with their tongues, thinking that they can be moist and comfortable, but the result is just the opposite. Because saliva is secreted by salivary glands, it contains amylase and other substances, which are relatively thick, and it is like rubbing a layer of paste on your lips. When the water evaporates, the lips will be drier and more prone to peeling. If the lips are dry and uncomfortable, you can apply some lip balm without pigment and fragrance.
The more clothes you wear, the warmer you get? The view is too one-sided
In winter, some people are full of clothes, thinking that the more they wear, the warmer they will be. This view is one-sided, because the warmth of clothes is related to the thickness of air layer in clothes. When clothes are put on, the thickness of air layer increases, and the warmth retention also increases. However, when the total thickness of the air layer exceeds 15 mm, the air convection in the clothes increases obviously, but the warmth retention decreases. Physiologically speaking, if people wear too much clothes, their skin blood vessels will expand due to high heat, which will increase heat dissipation and reduce the adaptability of the body to external temperature changes.
Drinking white wine can keep out the cold? It may be colder.
Many people think that drinking white wine in winter can help people resist the cold. The reality is that people’s feeling of being warm after drinking is short-lived. The heat in the human body is produced by the chemical reaction of protein, fat, carbohydrate and other substances in the body during muscle exercise. The main components of wine are water and alcohol, which do not produce much heat. On the contrary, stimulated by alcohol, blood vessels can’t contract in time to prevent blood from transferring heat to the outside, and people will feel colder after a lot of body heat is lost.
Sleeping with your head covered is the most comfortable? It’s comfortable to make a micro-airflow in the bed
On a cold night, many people like to sleep with quilts. This is neither hygienic nor comfortable. When you sleep with your head covered, in addition to the difficulty in breathing and dizziness caused by lack of oxygen, a large amount of water vapor exhaled from your mouth also increases the humidity in the bed sharply, and the good microclimate in the bed is quickly destroyed, making your whole body uncomfortable.
Medical meteorologists have found that the most comfortable bed microclimate requires a micro-airflow of 0.2 meters per second. Such a small wind speed has almost no blowing feeling on the human body, so it is difficult to adjust it. Generally speaking, as long as the quilt is not wrapped in a "cylindrical shape" when sleeping, there is a certain space between the quilt and the body, and 1 ~ 2 small gaps are left between the cushion quilt and the cover quilt below the shoulders, the standard of "micro-airflow" that makes the human body comfortable can basically be achieved.
Health in winter, tonic should nourish the lungs, moisten the dryness and balance the nutrition.
In winter, many people will choose to eat a lot of warm tonic food to resist the cold winter. Experts remind not to blindly supplement foods that are easy to get angry, such as hot pot, beef and mutton, because the temperature drops. Therefore, the "winter tonic" should be based on the actual situation of different people to choose clear tonic, warm tonic, small tonic, big tonic, not blindly "tonic." There is a saying in Neijing that "nourishing yin in autumn and winter", so it is most important to nourish yin and tonify yang. It is best to eat more nourishing foods such as Chinese cabbage, tremella, glutinous rice, mutton, pears and kiwifruit, but with reasonable collocation and balanced nutrition.
Dietary Matching: No less than one grain pulp.
Grain and cereal: Drinking hot porridge in winter is a good choice for health. For example, sesame porridge can benefit essence and nourish yin, radish porridge can help digestion and eliminate phlegm, walnut porridge can nourish yin and solidify essence, Poria porridge can strengthen spleen and nourish stomach, and jujube porridge can benefit qi and nourish yin.
1. Jujube sesame porridge: Jujube sesame porridge is made of jujube and sesame. In winter, it can not only help pregnant women to supplement iron, but also help the elderly to digest and enrich women’s blood.
2. Laba porridge: In some places in the north, there is a habit of boiling Laba porridge in winter. Traditional Laba porridge uses yellow rice, white rice, glutinous rice, millet, water chestnut rice, chestnuts, red cowpeas, red dates, etc., which are rich in grains and nutrients, which helps to increase calories and nutrition.
3. Xiaomi Mairen porridge: It is cold in winter, and many friends with stomach problems will feel very uncomfortable. It is good to drink Xiaomi Mairen porridge. Millet can nourish the stomach, and wheat kernel is rich in plant protein, minerals and so on, which is of great benefit to tonic in winter.
Vegetables: While warming up in winter, we should also eat more vegetables to relieve boredom and dryness, so as to achieve the effect of nourishing yin.
1. Celery: Celery is not only rich in iron ions, but also has the effects of lowering blood pressure and clearing blood lipids. Chinese medicine believes that it is cool, sweet and nontoxic, and can promote appetite, and has the functions of eliminating phlegm and lowering blood pressure.
2. Radish: As the saying goes, "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer" and "eat radish in winter and compete with ginseng". In traditional winter health preservation, it is best to eat foods that conform to the season, and winter is a good time to eat radishes, which has good effects of clearing away heat and promoting fluid production, stimulating appetite and strengthening spleen, and smoothing qi and resolving phlegm.
3. Cabbage: As the saying goes, "A hundred dishes are not as good as cabbage" and "Cabbage tofu keeps you safe". When the weather is dry in winter, eating more cabbage has the functions of nourishing yin, moistening dryness and caring skin. Chinese cabbage is warm and sweet, enters the spleen and stomach meridian, and has the functions of warming stomach, benefiting qi, expelling cold and preventing wind. It can improve epigastric cold pain, abdominal fear of cold, abdominal pain and poor defecation. Don’t throw it away just because the taste of cabbage is not as good as that of cabbage. In fact, it has high nutritional value, and stir-frying or stuffing is good.
4. Onion: Onion is pungent and warm, and has the functions of sweating and relieving exterior syndrome, warming the middle and dispelling cold. Mainly used for respiratory symptoms such as exogenous wind-cold, fever and chills, headache and nasal congestion, cough, cough with white phlegm, chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Fruits: From the nutritional point of view, fruits are rich in vitamins and minerals, and phytochemicals with antioxidant effects. These nutrients are beneficial to delaying aging, preventing cancer, clearing away heat and toxic materials, clearing blood, resisting oxidation and maintaining health.
1. Pears: Chinese medicine believes that pears have the functions of promoting fluid production, quenching thirst, clearing away heat and reducing fire, and are most suitable for patients with fever and internal heat in winter. However, it is too cold to eat pears directly in winter, so you can drink them with stewed sugar water such as longan, red dates and medlar.
2. Apple: As the saying goes, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". Apple has the effects of nourishing spleen, nourishing stomach yin, moistening lung and pleasing heart, and is called the health protector of cardiovascular system. Moreover, stewed soup with lily, medlar and tremella can not only remove coldness, but also have nourishing effect.
3. Kiwifruit: Kiwifruit is known as the "king of vitamin C", and the content of vitamin C is extremely high. Among them, rich dietary fiber can promote heart health, help human digestion and microcirculation, thus improving immunity; At the same time, it also has the good effects of promoting fluid production, moistening dryness, relieving fever and removing annoyance.
4. grapes. Grapes can replenish qi and produce essence, and can nourish liver and kidney.
Meat: In winter, people are used to eating ginger duck, mutton stove, Chinese yam stewed ribs and other medicinal diets to "tonify winter", which can tonify the middle warmer, replenish qi, nourish yin and tonify yang. But eating too much meat will increase the burden on digestive and metabolic organs, so we should eat reasonably. Eat less fat, and choose some poultry, fish and mutton that are easy to digest and absorb and have less fat content.
1. Mutton: beginning of winter’s tonic is the first to promote mutton, which is warm and warm, and its fat and cholesterol are much less than pork and beef; Traditional Chinese medicine believes that mutton is hot and enters the spleen and kidney meridian, which has the effects of warming kidney, supporting yang, strengthening waist and strengthening bones, and nourishing essence and blood.
2. Pigeon meat: As the saying goes, "One pigeon wins nine chickens", it can be seen that the nutritional value of pigeon meat is very high. Drink two bowls of pigeon soup in the coldest time of the year to protect the liver and tonify the kidney, replenish qi and replenish blood to resist the cold in winter.
3. Fish: Fish is not only rich in nutrition but also extremely low in fat. Its protein content is twice that of pork, and it is easily absorbed by the human body. Therefore, in winter, besides eating some red meat, you can also stew more nourishing fish soup. In winter, the perch is plump, and it is rich in digestible protein, fat, vitamin B2, niacin, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, iron and selenium. Chinese medicine believes that perch is warm and sweet, and has the functions of strengthening spleen and stomach, nourishing liver and kidney, relieving cough and resolving phlegm.
There is a "three-point" in winter health preservation.
First, drink more water. According to experts, since the winter, patients with dry throat, itchy skin and nosebleeds have increased significantly. Under normal circumstances, the human body will evaporate a lot of water every day. After heating, the room is dry and loses more water. Being in such an environment for a long time, the body is naturally prone to the above problems.
Experts suggest that although sweating and urination are reduced in winter, maintaining the normal operation of cells in the brain and various organs of the body still needs water nourishment. Therefore, you should pay attention to drinking more water in autumn and winter.
Second, sweat a little. Experts said that the cold weather in winter makes it easy for people to shrink back and reduce the amount of exercise, but moderate exercise in winter is still essential. Exercise your muscles properly and sweat a little, so as to strengthen your body.
"Exercise should be combined with movement, and yoga should be based on fever or slight sweating. You can also stick to soaking your feet with warm water until you sweat slightly, but you can’t sweat too much. On the one hand, sweating is discouraged, which is contrary to the way of hiding yang in winter. On the other hand, it is easy to catch a cold." Experts said.
Third, go to bed early. According to experts, Sun Simiao, a famous medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, said: "It is not appropriate to go out early in the morning and return late at night in winter, which offends Hanwei." Go to bed early to nourish yang, and get up late to consolidate yin essence. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure adequate sleep in winter health preservation, which is beneficial to the hidden yang and the accumulation of yin and body fluid; Remember to "raise Tibet" when you are recuperating in winter.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 15th Title: Winter dream leaps and ambition stirs — — The Birth of the Emblem of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games (Detailed Edition)
Xinhua News Agency reporters Wang Yong, Ji Ye, Lin Deren and Gao Peng.
On December 15th, 2017, the National Aquatics Center "Water Cube", which inherits the elements of the 2008 Olympic Games and will usher in the 2022 Winter Olympics, witnessed another important moment in the history of the Olympic movement: the emblem of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics "Winter Dream" and the emblem of the Winter Paralympics "Leap", which were unveiled here.
Beijing, the ancient capital of oriental civilization and a modern international metropolis that will be the first city to host the summer and winter Olympic Games in the world, has once again left a distinct cultural imprint on the Olympic history, which will also become one of the important symbols of the wonderful, extraordinary and outstanding Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics.
International Olympic Committee President Bach delivered a video message at the release ceremony of the emblem of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games. He said that the unveiling of the emblem of the Beijing Winter Olympics is a wonderful milestone in the Olympic journey for China and even the entire Olympic family. The emblem is a symbol of ambition and dreams. For the common goal of the Beijing Winter Olympics, people in China and even the whole world will be excited and look forward to it.
"Winter Dream" and "Leap" appeared at the same time
The emblems of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games were collected and released together, designed by the same designer, and achieved a high degree of unity in visual language.
Winter Dream, the emblem of the Winter Olympics, uses the artistic form of China’s calligraphy to integrate the rich oriental cultural heritage with the international modern style, presenting a new image and dream of China in the new era.
The emblem of the Winter Paralympic Games is "leap". The design adheres to the concept of showing the culture of the host city and embodying the athlete-centered, and combines the calligraphy art of China with the sports characteristics of the Winter Paralympic Games. The design shows the movement and strength of the Chinese character "Fei", subtly transforms it into an athlete who slides forward and rushes to victory, and at the same time vividly expresses the form of special sports equipment such as wheelchairs for the Winter Paralympic Games.
The two emblems pay attention to the integration of China’s cultural heritage, modern international style and the characteristics of the Winter Olympics, vividly demonstrating the national spirit, times and cultural charm of contemporary China, vividly demonstrating the passion, youth and vitality of ice and snow sports, conveying the spirit of athletes’ self-transcendence and hard work, and expressing the vision of 1.3 billion China people for the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympics.
The emblem design collected 4506 works.
On July 31, 2015, IOC President Bach announced at Kuala Lumpur Convention and Exhibition Center in Malaysia that Beijing won the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games.
On the same day a year later — — On July 31, 2016, BOCOG sent an invitation from the Great Wall to collect the design scheme of the emblem of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games from all over the world.
The collection and design of the emblem, based on the experience of the 2008 Olympic Games and the recent Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games, has gone through six stages: global collection, expert review, revision and deepening, appraisal and communication, legal review, and submission and approval.
In the collection stage of the emblem, BOCOG held the "Beijing 2022 Design Forum" and made a special trip to Shanghai, Shijiazhuang, Dalian, Shenyang, Hangzhou, Quanzhou and other cities to invite domestic and foreign designers to discuss the emblem and image landscape design. As winter sports are not as familiar as summer sports in China, they also organize designers to participate in the experience of winter sports and get inspiration from it. The collection methods and documents of the emblem are all made public and can be found on the website; Throughout the collection and evaluation process of the emblem, the supervision and audit department of BOCOG and the notary office participated in the whole process to ensure openness, fairness and impartiality.
After the emblem collection was launched, it attracted wide attention, and more than 7 million people participated in and paid attention to the emblem collection activities only through Weibo, the official of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee.
On November 20th, 2016, it was the first day of soliciting contributions for design. Designers from several art and design colleges in Beijing and some amateurs became the first batch of applicants.
Entries from all directions bear people’s enthusiasm and yearning for the Beijing Winter Olympics, flying like snowflakes to the emblem design collection office in Beijing Gehua Building. One design plan wrapped in kraft paper bags is filled with rooms for storage. There are primary school students, employees of state-owned enterprises and teachers and students of professional art colleges who come to contribute. The staff carefully and carefully registered the number of each application one by one, and even queued up in front of the registration desk during peak hours.
The collection of emblem design ended at 16: 00 on November 30, 2016, which lasted for 4 months and received a total of 4506 design schemes.
— — The design schemes come from 31 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, Hong Kong, Macao Special Administrative Region and Taiwan Province, as well as 13 countries including the United States, Russia, Britain and France.
— — The oldest contributor is 85 years old, and the youngest contributor is 7 years old. Many disabled designers personally came to the collection office to submit their works.
— — There are 3,198 design schemes from professional design institutions and universities, accounting for 71% of the total.
A rigorous and fair review
In October 2016, recommended by the International Olympic Committee, the State Sports General Administration, the China Disabled Persons’ Federation, the China Artists Association, the Beijing Olympic City Development Promotion Association, professional art colleges and other institutions and representatives, BOCOG invited 15 well-known international and domestic experts and athletes to form the emblem expert review committee.
Among the 15 judges, there are Liu Dawei, chairman of China Artists Association, Wu Weishan, curator of China Art Museum, Lu Xiaobo, president of Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts, Hang Jian, vice president of China Academy of Fine Arts, etc. Theodora Marshalis, creative director of image and landscape design for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, and david grossman, chairman of the International Design Committee, served as international judges.
In addition, Yang Yang, a member of the International Olympic Committee and the first gold medal winner of the China Winter Olympics, served as a judge as a representative of the sports community. Park Xuedong, Minister of Finance and Market Development of the Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, and Tong Lixin, Minister of Sports, who are directly related to the application of the emblem, also served as judges. Jiang Xiaoyu, former executive vice chairman of BOCOG and vice chairman of Beijing Olympic City Development Promotion Association, was elected as the chairman of the jury.
On December 16, 2016, only half a month after the collection, the jury held a non-stop meeting to select the emblem according to the evaluation procedures and rules. In Beijing Gehua Mansion, more than 4,000 works are neatly stacked on dozens of tables, and each work hides the name and unit of the applicant, and only the work itself is presented to the judges. In order to facilitate the selection, the expert review committee classifies the works according to the elements, graphics, fonts and artistic features, and puts the same category together. Fifteen Chinese and foreign judges carefully examined each work in the exhibition hall.
In the primary election, each judge can choose 100 works. Under the supervision of notaries, the votes were sung immediately after voting, and 78 works shortlisted in the initial evaluation were produced. Re-evaluation will be made one day later, and each judge will choose the top 10 works in their minds.
In these works, some are expressed by Chinese characters, others by figures, some highlight winter features, such as snowflakes, and some China traditional graphic patterns, such as the Great Wall, lanterns, firecrackers and paper-cuts. In order to present a better visual effect, the judges hung the selected works on the wall, commented on them one by one, discussed the advantages and disadvantages of each work, and considered all aspects before voting, striving to make the evaluation scientific and proper.
After repeated comparison and careful screening, Chinese and foreign judges selected 10 design schemes from the shortlisted re-evaluated works and graded them.
David grossman, chairman of the International Design Committee, said that during the selection process, every judge was very serious, had a long discussion and had different opinions. "I have participated in many similar international selections, but I must say that few of them are as rigorous as this one."
Jiang Xiaoyu, chairman of the jury, and other judges said that the collection of the emblem design scheme showed three characteristics: large quantity, wide sources and strong professionalism. With the development of China, especially after the baptism of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, more and more outstanding designers in China have a deeper understanding of the Olympic spirit and submitted many high-quality works.
"Winter Dream" and "Leap" won the first total score.
Chinese and foreign judges of the Beijing Winter Olympics emblem expert review committee reached a high degree of consensus in the review process — — The theme of the emblem must have a high level of design, the artistic form has China characteristics, and the creative design highlights the theme of ice and snow, which is easy to spread internationally.
After voting, No.801 won the first place in the total score among 10 finalists, and the conceptual design of the word "winter" is the prototype of the emblem of Beijing Winter Olympics. Coincidentally, the author is Lin Cunzhen, the designer of the emblem of Beijing’s bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics and vice president of the School of Design of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. During the period of applying for the Winter Olympics, Lin Cunzhen designed the bid emblem with the word "winter" in China’s calligraphy as the main body, which skillfully combined the abstract slideway, the movement form of snow and ice with the calligraphy art, and the two points below the word "winter" were integrated into 2022, which was vivid and natural.
On January 14th, 2017, BOCOG focused on the 10 short-listed design schemes, and four works, including No.801, were identified as the direction for further revision and improvement.
Five days later, in order to make the four finalists not only have a good design concept, but also have a professional presentation effect, BOCOG entrusted four universities, including Central Academy of Fine Arts, Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts, China Academy of Fine Arts and Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts, to deepen the design for these four works respectively.
The Central Academy of Fine Arts is responsible for deepening the revision of Works No.801. The revision team includes Wang Min, Vice Chairman of the International Graphic Design Federation/Chairman of China District, Deputy Director of the Academic Committee of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Liu Bo, designer of the emblem of the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games, Professor of the School of Design of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Hang Hai, designer of medals and individual sports icons of the 2008 Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games, and two students, Chen Yijun and Chen Ying.
Wang Min, the leader of the revision team, said that the original intention of the revision was to ensure that the original creativity and vitality of the scheme were maintained. The revision team put forward more suggestions from technical details, such as how to pay more attention to modeling and how to make colors more reasonable. From late January to November, when they received the notice of revision, they made in-depth revisions to the Olympic graphics, Paralympic graphics, color system, and the word logo "Beijing 2022". In the process of revising the emblem, BOCOG specially invited people from all walks of life to form a review committee, and held two review meetings in March and April. Invited representatives from all walks of life commented on the revised design scheme of the emblem and put forward suggestions for further revision. 80-year-old Professor Han Meilin, member of the Standing Committee of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, also participated in the review and revision.
At the same time, BOCOG also consulted the relevant departments of the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee and the Olympic Broadcasting Service Company on the design scheme of the emblem, and revised the emblem scheme accordingly.
After extensive consultation, a design scheme of the emblem and an alternative design scheme were determined at the meeting of the chairman of the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee. Work No.801, namely "Winter Dream" and "Leap", finally stood out.
Lin Cunzhen, the designer of the emblem, interprets the forms of "Winter Dream" and "Leap" in this way: "The Winter Olympics is a synthesis of ice and snow sports, and the emblem should embody both ice sports and snow sports. The form of the emblem comes from the gestures of ice and snow sports, and the overall shape reflects the China Chinese character ‘ Winter ’ . At the same time, compared with the Summer Olympics, all sports in the Winter Olympics rely on equipment, especially in the design of the Paralympic emblem, the display of sports equipment such as snow poles and wheelchairs has been increased. "
Many judges who participated in the judging thought that "Winter Dream" and "Leap" perfectly combined China’s excellent traditional culture with the Olympic spirit through Chinese characters and calligraphy, and they were full of movement on the whole, reflecting the image of athletes as the center and the galloping of winter sports; The design color is very bright, the technique is also very international, and it has a sense of the times, which reserves a broad space for the wide application of the emblem in the future, especially for the three-dimensional presentation and extension design.
Fan Dian, president of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, thinks that the combination of snow and ice sports, China traditional culture and China elements is the general trend and universal feature of this emblem design. Fan Dian believes that pen and ink should follow the times, and design should also follow the times. The design, color, font and graphics of the emblem of the Winter Olympics are sincere expressions of the development of the China era.
Wu Weishan, curator of China Art Museum, believes that there are more and more people learning Chinese all over the world. Designing the emblem of the Winter Olympics with the Chinese character "winter" is a way to let the world know about China and tell the story of China well, which can make the world feel beautiful and respect China culture.
David grossman, Chairman of the International Design Committee, believes that this emblem has achieved a good balance between tradition and modernity, which not only presents China culture, but also is very international. Even people who don’t know Chinese can see the harmonious relationship between it and China characters and symbols of the Winter Olympics. At the same time, it also condenses a lot of sports postures, which is convenient for dynamic presentation.
"Winter Dream" and "Leap" also resonated among athletes. Li Nina, the world champion of freestyle skiing aerial skills in China, said: "I saw this at first sight ‘ Winter ’ Word, you will know that it represents winter and winter sports. There are also two sports figures on it. When you see this emblem, you can think of which Winter Olympics it is. "

The emblem of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, "China Seal", uses the seal used by China for thousands of years as a carrier to convey to the world that China has the ability and confidence to run a high-level Olympic Games. After the baptism of the Beijing Olympic Games, the world learned more about China and China learned more about the world. Today, China has developed into the world’s largest trading country and the second largest economy, and has increasingly entered the center of the world stage.
