The story behind the mascot "birth"

Zhang Wen and Yang, mascots of the Asian Games, are husband and wife. In 14 years in Hang Cheng, they grew from teenagers to teachers and traveled all over the streets of Hangzhou.

How to use the mascots of the Asian Games to reflect the image of a city and even a country?

Three world heritages of Hangzhou popped up in my mind: Liangzhu Ancient City Site, West Lake and Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. They hope that the image of the mascot can be highly integrated with the city image of Hangzhou and leave the mark of Hangzhou.

"The landscape of Hangzhou West Lake, which integrates ecology and humanity, is rare in the world. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal connects the Yangtze River and Qiantang River. Qiantang River is a' tidal surge', which represents the exploration spirit of bravely standing on the tide. " Zhang Wen said.

In the first draft, the mascots of the Asian Games are three cartoon dolls named Jiang Jiang, Nan Nan and Yi Yi. The linked "Jiang Nanyi" evokes everyone's reverie about Hangzhou. "Jiang Nanyi, what I remember most is Hangzhou".

The blue river comes from Qiantang River, representing innovation and endeavor. Huangnan comes from the ruins of Liangzhu ancient city, representing dreams and humanities; The red memory comes from the West Lake, representing peace and perseverance.

With the promotion of the mascot selection process of the Asian Games, when they learned that their works were shortlisted, Zhang Wen and Yang were overjoyed and faced new challenges.

Entrusted by the Organizing Committee of Hangzhou Asian Games, China Academy of Fine Arts set up an expert group to provide "back-to-back" professional guidance for further modification of several candidate mascot schemes. Jiang Nanyi, the mascot of the Asian Games, has undergone several rounds of size modification.

After further revision, the Blue River was renamed Chen Chen, inspired by the Chen Gong Bridge, and Chen Chen had three bridge opening designs on his forehead, an ancient bridge.

Huang Nannan also changed her name from Cong, inspired by Jade Cong of Liangzhu civilization.

The red memory was renamed lotus, and the lines on the top of the head were intertwined, symbolizing the interconnection of all things.

Tired and happy, they ushered in the dawn when they printed 50 articles.

"When the final draft was printed, I suddenly felt right. All the colors were pulled back to the beautiful, elegant and graceful color characteristics that conform to the characteristics of Hangzhou. Under the guidance of experts, we accurately set the brightness, purity and tone of the mascot color. " Zhang Wen said.

Congcong has a light yellow and transparent matte jade texture, and at the same time has a sense of fluorescence technology; The texture of Chen Chen is between water and porcelain, plus a sense of machinery; Lianlian's "skin" is fine-tuned on the basis of the texture of Song porcelain, and its hue is more vivid.

Prince Ahmed, President of OCA, sent a congratulatory letter to the mascot. He praised the mascots of the Hangzhou Asian Games for their vivid images and rich connotations, which combined China culture, Hangzhou characteristics, the Asian Games and the Asian spirit.
