As a sacred symbol, the history of fire can be traced back to prehistoric times. In Greek history, fire represents creation, rebirth and light. In Greek mythology, fire is a sacred symbol of hephaestus and a gift that Prometheus stole from Zeus.
In the center of every ancient Greek city-state, there is an altar burning with eternal flame, and every family in the city-state also has eternal flame to worship the kitchen goddess Hestia. In ancient Greece, the torch relay was originally held at night as a religious ceremony. Soon after, it gradually evolved into a group competitive sport that first appeared among teenagers, and eventually evolved into one of the most popular sports in ancient Greece.
There is an altar dedicated to Hestia in the assembly hall of ancient Olympia. The sacred flame of the altar is lit by a concave disk or a mirror that focuses sunlight. The flame will never go out. The process of collecting the flame is very simple, but it can leave a deep impression on people. The concave smooth plane can focus the sunlight on the focus, and the priestess can extend the torch to the focus and light it.
The ancient Greeks held a torch relay competition, and the participants had to hold the torch until the end. The religious ceremony of the torch relay in ancient Greece was held every four years to commemorate the goddess Athena. The power of the torch is transmitted by the torchbearer in the fastest way. The starting point of the torch relay is the altar of Prometheus, and the end point is the altar of Athena, the goddess of the Acropolis in ancient Athens. At that time, the torch relay was completed by 40 young people from 10 Athens tribe, and the whole distance was1* * 2.5 kilometers.
The lighting ceremony of the modern Olympic flame is the same as that of ancient Greece. A priestess in Olympia also lit the torch and read the oath of the athletes. Then the Olympic flame will be awarded to the first torchbearer, which also marks the official start of the torch relay. Today, the power of the Olympic torch relay still touches the hearts of thousands of people in Qian Qian.
Olympic torch relay and its revival
The modern Olympic torch relay is a non-competition event, and its form is the same as that of the ancient Greek torch relay. It has become an important activity to celebrate the opening of the Olympic Games.

"From now on, torchbearers have accepted the sacred mission of the torch and passing the Olympic flame. Let the Olympic flame be passed on to each other in the hands of the younger generation, so that young people all over the world are always ready to spread the Olympic flame all over the world. "

The cultural concept of Xiangyun has a time span of several thousand years in China, and it is a representative cultural symbol of China. The design of the torch was inspired by the traditional paper roll in China. Paper is one of the four great inventions in China and spread to the west through the Silk Road. Human civilization spread with the appearance of paper. The application of lacquer red, which originated in the Han Dynasty, on the torch makes it obviously different from the torch design of previous Olympic Games. The contrasting colors of red and silver produce striking visual effects, which is beneficial to various forms of media communication. The torch is divided into upper and lower parts, the auspicious cloud pattern and the three-dimensional relief process design make the whole torch elegant and gorgeous, with rich connotations.
