Writer Zheng Yuanjie proposed that this The number of mascots for the Second Olympic Games should be the largest. Later, he proposed to match the Olympic rings, and then the painter Han Meilin completed the design.

Olympic Games Emblem - China Seal

The "China Seal·Dancing Beijing" emblem organically combines the zodiac seal, Chinese characters and the five-ring emblem, and is full of profound vitality . The land embodies the charm of the East and the West; the spirit of the Olympic Games is sublimated between the strokes.

"China Seal·Dancing Beijing" is no ordinary seal. She fills the biggest gap in the list of host cities in the nearly century-old history of the Olympic Games! She is the first step taken by the Chinese nation in the history of hosting the Olympic Games! She is the first interpretation of the Olympic Charter by Chinese civilization! She also has the largest number of people who have ever made a commitment to the Olympic Movement!

The French sculptor Rodin once said: "Beauty is everywhere. For our eyes, it is not a lack of beauty, but a lack of discovery." From a cultural and aesthetic perspective, appreciate her beauty and explore her profound connotations.

1. Chinese Seal

Chinese seals were called Xi, Seal, Bao, Zhang in ancient times, "Seal", "Seal", "Record", "Zhu Ji", " "Contract", "Guanfang", "seal", "talisman", "deed", "deposit", "stamp", etc. are various customary names that have appeared in history. Ancient seals were popular in ancient times. Their simple and naive style reflects people's understanding and pursuit of beauty in different eras, and is imbued with the profound and mysterious beauty of history. Among them, there is a type of seal with pictures in it, which is the Xiao-shaped seal.

Xiao-shaped seal is a form of seal that existed in my country in the pre-Qin Dynasty. The Han Dynasty was the prosperous period of ancient zodiac seals. The zodiac seals of that period include the "Four Spirit Seals", "Tiger Seal", "Deer Seal", "Phoenix Seal", "Fuxi Seal", "God Man Cao Seal" etc. Seal patterns; there are also various types of zodiac seals that reflect real social life, such as "Inspiration Seal", "Drumming Seal and Yu Seal", "Long Sleeve Dance Seal" and other seal graphics; there are also "Ox Plowing Seal", "Juggling Seal", Seal forms such as "animal taming seal" reflect the life and entertainment scenes of the Han Dynasty people from different aspects.

According to relics and historical records, seals were widely used in our country as late as the Warring States Period. Initially, the seal was used as a certificate when exchanging goods in commerce, and it was also a mark of credibility. After Qin Shihuang unified China, the scope of use of seals expanded to a legal object representing the rights and interests of those in power and a symbol of their power.

After you have a certain understanding of our country’s seals, if you try “China Seal·Dancing Beijing” again, you will find it even cuter. The strokes on her are like words but not words, like paintings but not paintings; the words are integrated into the paintings, and the paintings are included in the words; between the strokes, there is a graceful dance; in the dance rhyme, the pen and ink are indulgent; "Beijing 2008" written in bamboo slips and Chinese characters "It is even more permeated with the profoundness of Chinese calligraphy art. All this not only condenses the development trajectory of ancient Chinese seals drawn from words, but also explains the mainstream view of ancient Chinese philosophy striving for moderation. These, coupled with the red ink pad and giant square seal that symbolize China, make "China Seal·Dancing Beijing" accumulate a large amount of historical information and rich cultural essence. No wonder the design director of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and participant in the 2008 Olympic Games emblem One of them, Mr. Brad Copeland, saw "China Seal·Dancing Beijing" from many emblem designs and immediately said: "She is from China!"

2. Dancing Beijing

"China Seal·Dancing Beijing" is a metaphor for China's credibility and stability. As the emblem of a sports meeting, she also shows the vitality and charm of Beijing. Beijing is dancing, dancing with the rhythm of the times; Beijing is not only a famous ancient city rich in cultural traditions, but also a modern city rich in innovative spirit - this is another meaning of "China Seal·Dancing Beijing".

According to investigation, the dance pattern painted pottery basin unearthed in Shangsunzhai, Datong County, Qinghai, which is about 5,000 years old, is the oldest primitive dance image in my country known so far.

On the inner wall of the pottery basin, there are three groups of dancers, with five people in each group dancing hand in hand.

There are nine sections of Daxia music and dance in ancient my country. During the performance, the actors wear fur hats and plain clothes, with a simple style. Wu music and dance in the Shang Dynasty were widely used in various sacrificial occasions. The emperor of Zhou Dynasty had the "Eight Yi" dance, and the Qin and Han Dynasties had special music and dance institutions. Zhao Feiyan at the end of the Western Han Dynasty was a well-known dancer. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, hedonism was very popular among the gentry class, and they sang and danced all day long. The Sui and Tang Dynasties were an era when dance was very prosperous, among which "The Dance of Colorful Feather Clothes" and "Hu Xuan Dance" were the masterpieces. The folk songs and dances of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are also very rich. Only the Han people have various titles such as Yangko, flower drums, tea picking, lanterns, Dalian incense, land boat racing, bamboo horses and so on. In modern times, traditional Chinese dance has regained its vitality and produced many excellent works, such as "Lotus Lantern", "Little Knife Club" and "Silk Road Flower Rain".

It can be seen that in every era of our country, dance has been inextricably linked with life. Our ancient ancestors performed various rituals and expressed various feelings along with dance, labor and sacrifice. We are hosting the Olympics for the first time. For such a world-wide event, we can certainly express it in the language of dance. The famous British abstract sculptor Moore said: "The most outstanding feature of all primitive arts is their vigorous vitality." It is this kind of vitality that we see in "China Seal·Dancing Beijing".

The humanoid pictures in "Chinese Seal·Dancing Beijing" seem familiar. This is the dance posture in the Dunhuang murals that has the same origin as the dance "Flower Rain on the Silk Road". The exaggerated body proportions and limb positions, stretched strokes and simple composition fully express the enthusiasm and heroism of Beijing people, while the unrestrained dancing fully heralds the future of Beijing. We seem to see a dancer full of enthusiasm and hope, passionate and energetic, cheering to those who cheer him. Of course, what he danced was not only people's enthusiasm, he also "danced" the Olympic concept of "faster, higher and stronger" freely.

3. A monument in the emblem

To understand more about the reason why "China Seal·Dancing Beijing" is used as the emblem of an Olympic Games, it is necessary for us to analyze the emblems of previous Olympic Games. Make a general inspection.

Including "China Seal·Dancing Beijing", 46 emblems have appeared in the history of the Olympic Games. In the nearly century-old history of the Olympic Games, the Olympic Games emblem has evolved from scratch, from complexity to simplicity, and the emblem design has embarked on a path from concrete to abstract. In the previous Olympic Games, the emblem had not yet appeared, and the visual image representing the image of the Olympic Games was often provided by posters. The initial emblem patterns mostly represented the regional symbols or sports images of the host country; later, emblems that combined regional and sports patterns were produced; and later, abstract patterns appeared.

The above changes in the emblem pattern are completely consistent with the imprint of Western painting schools. Leaving aside the older academic and religious painting schools that mainly focus on realism, just from the 19th century Romanticism (including Symbolism), Realism (including Naturalism) to Impressionism and later to Fauvism and Expressionism. , abstract art school, surrealist school and later postmodern school, the history of Western art has gone through a development path from "realism" to "abstraction" and then to "no theme". Regardless of aesthetic theory or art practice, abstract patterns are the patterns that best convey metaphorical meaning and are the patterns that best express ideas.

If "China Seal·Dancing Beijing" is regarded as a Chinese character "京", it is the first introduction of Chinese character glyphs in the history of Olympic emblems. Chinese characters are ideograms, a symbolic system of symbols. Every stroke in Chinese characters is full of metaphors for the atmosphere of life and the meaning of life. If "China Seal·Dancing Beijing" is regarded as a "human" painting, it is an outstanding application of Eastern painting expression techniques. Compared with the strict realistic methods in the West, Eastern paintings are more flexible and general in terms of space requirements, allowing virtualization and omission. But it is this virtuality and omission that creates a real and unlimited imagination space for the viewer. "Chinese Seal·Dancing Beijing" is a successful artistic practice that integrates Chinese calligraphy, seals, dance, painting art and Western modern art concepts. She expresses the ideas that people want to express, and also entrusts the ideals that people will ascribe to her. She belongs to China and the world. She will undoubtedly become an artistic monument in the history of the visual image of the Olympic movement.

"Chinese Seal·Dancing Beijing" stroke by stroke, each of its constituent elements carries the solemn Chinese cultural tradition and the exciting Olympic spirit, demonstrating advanced aesthetic concepts and high-spirited spirit. The passion of the times. What she brings to people is not only an unprecedented emblem in the history of the Olympic Games, but also another promotion of Chinese civilization in the history of world civilization.

Olympic Torch - Xiangyun

The 2008 Beijing Olympics torch is 72 cm long, weighs 985 grams, has a burning time of 15 minutes, and has a flame height of 25 to 30 cm under zero wind speed. It can be recognized and photographed in both light and daylight conditions. In terms of technology, cone curved surface special-shaped one-time molding technology and aluminum corrosion and coloring technology are used. The fuel is propane, which meets environmental protection requirements. The torch shape is made of recyclable environmentally friendly materials.

The creative inspiration for the Beijing Olympic Games torch comes from the "auspicious cloud" pattern of "original origin, harmonious integration". The cultural concept of Xiangyun has a time span of thousands of years in China and is a representative Chinese cultural symbol.

The design of the torch shape is inspired by traditional Chinese paper scrolls. Paper is one of China's four great inventions and was spread to the West through the Silk Road. Human civilization spread with the emergence of paper. The use of lacquer red originating from the Han Dynasty on the torch clearly distinguishes it from previous Olympic Games torch designs. The contrasting colors of red and silver produce eye-catching visual effects and are conducive to various forms of media communication. The upper and lower parts of the torch are evenly divided, and the auspicious cloud pattern and three-dimensional relief-style craftsmanship design make the entire torch elegant and gorgeous, with profound connotation.

The Olympic torch is a handheld torch approved by the International Olympic Committee for burning the Olympic flame. The Olympic torch is the carrier of the Olympic flame. Starting from the 11th Olympic Games in 1936, each Olympic Games has produced a torch that embodies the cultural characteristics of the host country and meets high-tech requirements, and has become an important legacy of the Olympic movement.

Information about Beijing's Olympic bid

On July 13, 2001, the International Olympic Committee held its 112th Plenary Session in Moscow and selected the host city for the 2008 Olympic Games. The Executive Committee discussed and determined the main agenda of the meeting. The time for each city to make presentations is (Moscow time, the time difference between Moscow and Beijing is 5 hours): 9:00-10:00 Osaka, 10:15-11:15 Paris, and then take a half-hour break. 11:45-12:45 Toronto. Adjourned for lunch. 14:00-15:00 Beijing, 15:15-16:15 Istanbul; take a half-hour break, and at 16:45, the International Olympic Committee Evaluation Committee will make a report on the inspection of the five candidate cities; at 17:30, the committee will conduct Take a vote. At 18:00, Samaranch announced the results of the vote.

In March 1991, the Beijing 2000 Olympic Games Bid Committee was formally established, and the task of overall planning fell without any doubt on Sun Daguang.

“This is a much more difficult task than the Olympic Games.” Sun Daguang explained that hosting the Asian Games will definitely be successful in a sense, but we have little experience in how to apply for the Olympic Games. None. The "document" placed in front of Sun Daguang was only a piece of white paper and the dates announced by the International Olympic Committee for application, submission of the "Olympic Bid Report", IOC inspection, and voting. Without any reference, Sun Daguang had to plan everything from preparation of application to final voting.

From March 1991 to September 1993, during the 30 months, what on earth are we going to do for the Olympic bid? How to do it? Sun Daguang was at a loss. However, the work of bidding for the Olympic Games must not be based on feelings. Everything must be strictly time controlled, otherwise it will affect the overall process. At the same time, these plans must be implemented in a practical manner and must have scientific and reasonable systematic planning.

Sun Daguang consulted experts from various fields like interviews, read the information of the International Olympic Committee, and predicted what actions will be taken in which time period; he also predicted all major events that may happen in the world in the next two years, including the U.S. presidential election. are within its scope of concern. Finally, my colleagues and I completed the "Beijing 2000 Olympic Games Bid Work Plan Network Diagram" by hand and computer.

Due to limited conditions, the entire picture was pieced together one by one using printed A3 paper. The circles that needed to be drawn were also drawn by fastening the screw caps on them. Sun Daguang said that when the network diagram, which is 1.5 meters wide and more than 4 meters long, covers the entire wall, the scene is really spectacular.

The network map has planned 365 major events at a macro level, and you can see all the work for 30 months from the beginning of the Olympic bid to the end of the voting; at a micro level, each major event is divided into several projects , links, you can clearly see which work needs to be completed on which day. For example, the "Olympic Bid Report" must be formally submitted by the International Olympic Committee before February 1, 1993. However, the writing process of the "Olympic Bid Report" involves multiple ministries, various fields, and various aspects. It requires the participation of many people and requires a lot of coordination. aspects, and each step is reflected in the network diagram. In order to ensure the smooth execution of the network diagram, Sun Daguang specially distributed a written Olympic bid plan and explanation, which was distributed to various departments as an official document of the Olympic Bid Committee. According to the supervision and guidance of the network map, the Olympic bid work is in an orderly manner.

Once, two reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan came for an interview. The leaders of the Olympic Bid Committee allowed them to understand the progress of the Olympic bid through online graphics. They were very surprised after seeing it: "We have interviewed many Olympic bidding cities in the world. Beijing The leaders of the Olympic Bid Committee have the clearest minds. The most incredible thing is that you planned out all the work for the past two years in early 1991, and also put it into writing and implemented it in your management and planning. The talent is simply amazing!”

Later I learned that Atlanta and Salt Lake City in the United States used the network diagram method in their bids and preparations for the Olympic Games. In 1992, Sun Daguang made a special trip to the United States for inspection. He found that Americans' network diagrams pay more attention to detailed planning, while ours is an overall large network diagram, which is more convenient for macro command and management. Both have their own merits.

The Olympic bid network map has received great attention from the scientific community. The Institute of Philosophy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences specially organized a "System Science and Sports" seminar with the National Sports Commission. In 1994, the National Sports Commission also established a system science leadership group, with Sun Daguang also serving as deputy leader. Comrade Qian Xuesen specially sent an assistant to study the application of system science in the social field with Sun Daguang, and wrote to the National Sports Commission: "You have applied the systematic scientific method of organizing 'two bombs and one satellite' advocated by Premier Zhou to sports work. This is something worthy of special mention!”

The “2000 Olympic Games Bid Work Network Map” planned two main lines on the same network map based on the characteristics of the Olympic bid work. This has never been seen in network diagrams before. The paper written by Sun Daguang and his colleagues on this network theory won the second prize of the National Sports Commission's Science and Technology Progress Award.

In November 1999, as deputy secretary-general of the Olympic Bid Committee, Sun Daguang also led the preparation of the "Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Bid Work Network Map" and planned 286 major events for the Olympic bid, laying the foundation for the success of our country's Olympic bid. contribution.

In Sun Daguang’s view, the value of network diagrams lies in the fact that it is the application of philosophical methodology in specific practice and has universal significance. "Some people only see a picture hanging on the wall, but in fact there is a lot of knowledge inside." A network diagram is a matrix structure, and there may be connections between each point. The emphasis is on the connections between each node. relation.

As early as 1994, Sun Daguang had already begun such an attempt. At that time, Sun Daguang, as a student, participated in the first training class for department- and bureau-level leading cadres of the newly established National Academy of Administration. During his speech, he mentioned the network diagram of the Asian Games and the Olympic bid, and applied network diagram theory to modern management.

At that time, the National School of Administration had just been established and was not very mature in all aspects. Sun Daguang put forward some suggestions for the development of the School of Administration from the perspective of modern management and combined with the Olympic bid network map. The school took these suggestions very seriously, and a college newsletter said the class had achieved "sensational results."

Since then, Sun Daguang has been more committed to the research of system science and methodology in practice. "As a method of systems engineering, network diagrams have been applied to social management to make work objects and work content clearer and clearer." , just like the palm of the Tathagata Buddha, no matter how hard Sun Wukong jumps, he can't jump out. "From the preparation of an event to the development of a school, to the implementation of major national policies, systematic thinking and scientific methodology are needed for guidance. . Methods may not determine success or failure, but they certainly affect success or failure.

The scene when China successfully bid for the Olympics

On the evening of July 13, 2001, the 112th plenary meeting of the International Olympic Committee was held at the World Trade Center in Moscow, and it was decided that the 29th Olympic Games in 2008 Host city of the Summer Olympics. It attracted global attention and attracted the attention of the whole world. After two rounds of voting, the International Olympic Committee decided to award the right to host the 29th Summer Olympics in 2008 to Beijing, the capital of the Republic of China.

When International Olympic Committee President Juan Antonio Samaranch announced this decision, the land of China was filled with excitement. Hundreds of millions of Chinese people gathered in front of the TV, all cheered for it, and all of them cried for it. The reporters conveyed the news of the victory back to the motherland as soon as possible, quickly and timely reported the good news of China's successful Olympic bid to the people across the country, and expressed the extremely exciting mood of the Chinese people.
