In order to express the lofty principles and ideals of the Olympic Games, Sir Robert Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, personally designed many ceremonies and rules and embodied them in the Olympic venues. These flags, songs, emblems and aphorisms symbolizing the Olympic spirit have profound educational significance, and then people can understand and appreciate them from a solemn atmosphere through audio-visual experience.
Coubertin repeatedly stressed the importance of the Olympic ceremony. He said: "In Olympia, people gather to look forward to the past and the future, so the ancient Olympic ceremony is also applicable to the revived modern Olympic Games. This ceremony connects the past and the future through fleeting time. At the same time, this grand event is a combination of youth, beauty and strength ... "
The main ceremonies of the Olympic Games can be divided into three parts: the opening ceremony, the awarding ceremony and the closing ceremony. The swearing-in ceremony includes athletes, referees and new members of the International Olympic Committee.

The Olympic motto "Faster, Higher and Stronger" is a breakthrough to encourage athletes to continue to participate in sports, strive for progress and pursue themselves. The original Latin Citius, Altius, Fortius was first used by Henri Didon, a good friend of Coubertin and a teacher of akol College in Alkell, around 1890. In order to let the whole class take part in sports on the outdoor playground for the first time, he encouraged the students with this kind of words. These three words gave Coubertin a deep impression and experience and decided to adopt them for the International Olympic Committee. As a result, the fashionable five-ring flag was held in Antwerp in 1920 and officially appeared in the Olympic Games.
Faster, higher and stronger.
The Olympic movement has a famous motto: "Faster, higher and stronger". This motto is a good friend of Coubertin, Henri Didong, the director of the Aguirre Monastery in Paris, who encouraged his students at an outdoor sports meeting. "Here, your slogan is: Faster, higher and stronger." Coubertin borrowed it and became the Olympic motto. This sentence fully expresses the spirit of continuous progress and never-ending struggle of the Olympic Movement. Although there are only six short words, the meaning is very rich. It not only means to carry forward the fearless spirit, dare to struggle and dare to win when facing strong players in the arena. It also means never being satisfied with yourself, constantly overcoming yourself and hitting new limits. Not only that, this motto also encourages people to constantly surpass themselves in all aspects of life, constantly update themselves and stay energetic forever.

Appreciation of classic slogans of previous Olympic Games
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 26th (Reporter Wang Yong, Gao Peng) The slogan "Welcome Home" of the Athens Olympic Games blended the background and warmth that the modern Olympic Games originated in Athens, and was widely praised. However, the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in the United States is regarded by the International Olympic Committee as the most successful slogan in Olympic history.
It is understood that before the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, it was not common to put forward slogans for an Olympic Games. "Give play to your role in history" is the slogan that organizers encourage local residents in publicity activities. Due to the lack of systematic organization and awareness of active publicity, these publicity activities are ineffective. However, from the beginning of this Olympic Games, slogan, as an important symbolic core content of an Olympic Games, has been paid more and more attention by the International Olympic Committee and the host city.
1992 The Barcelona Olympic Games in Spain is an unprecedented happy reunion of the Olympic family in the world. After the Moscow Olympic Games and the Los Angeles Olympic Games were boycotted by the United States and the Soviet Union, and the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games was boycotted by North Korea, the modern Olympic Games finally ushered in a happy reunion after years of low tide. Barcelona Olympic Games loudly shouted the slogan of "forever friends", which not only emphasized the eternal theme of friendship and peace in the Olympic spirit, but also expressed the expectations and aspirations of people all over the world, trying to give Barcelona Olympic Games a glorious historical position.
The slogan "Share the Olympic Spirit" of the Sydney Olympic Games in Australia was put forward by Sydney in 1992. At that time, Sydney was bidding for the 27th Olympic Games. This slogan actually first appeared as a bidding slogan. This slogan was used from the Olympic bid to the end of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Amazingly, since Sydney's Olympic bid, "sharing the Olympic spirit" has almost become the spiritual leader of the Sydney Olympic Games. Inspired and inspired a series of activities such as visual design and image promotion of the Sydney Olympic Games, and made great contributions to shaping the overall image of the Sydney Olympic Games.
From 65438 to 0995, Salt Lake City of the United States won the right to host the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, but Salt Lake City immediately fell into an endless bidding scandal. After the departure of the chairman of its organizing committee, the newly appointed chairman of the organizing committee of Salt Lake City believes that it is urgent to re-establish and correct the public image of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. It is against this background that the slogan "light the fire" came onto the stage. "Flame" is a symbol of justice and purity, and the burning "flame" in the heart is of course a metaphor for the inner heart of justice in this Winter Olympics. "Light a fire in my heart" was also written as the anthem of this Olympic Games and became the theme of its opening ceremony as a design concept.
"Light the fire in your heart" is a very successful slogan case in modern Olympic history: this slogan is not only profound, passionate and touching, but also provides a powerful visual expression, which provides a good guidance for various Olympic practices and has made great contributions to establishing the public image of the Olympic Games. "Light a fire in your heart" is regarded by the International Olympic Committee as the most successful Olympic slogan in history.
At the Athens Olympic Games held in 2004, the Greeks enthusiastically and proudly shouted the slogan "WelcomeHome".
