北京冬奥会里的中国文化

Witnessed by hundreds of millions of audience members

worldwide, the 24th Olympic Winter Games kicked off with a
stunning opening ceremony in Beijing. Traditional Chinese
cultural elements have been subtly integrated into the entire
event, from the overall planning and the venues, to the design
and preparation of costumes and props. Now, let's take a look
at the Chinese cultural elements in the Beijing 2022 Winter
Olympics together!

二十四节气
The Twenty-four Solar Terms

中国人将一年十二个月的自然节律变化加以总结，每月设置两个节气
一年共二十四个节气，是中国古代指导农业生产的重要依据。 北京冬
奥开幕恰逢二十四节气之首“立春” ，因此开幕式倒计时创新性地将
二十四节气融入其中。

The ancient Chinese summarized the changes in the natural

rhythm of the 12 months of a year, and instated two solar
terms for each month—forming a total of 24 solar terms—
as an important basis for guiding agricultural production.
The opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics
coincided with the first solar term Beginning of Spring;
hence the 24 solar terms were ingeniously used for the
countdown.

汉字
Chinese Characters

汉字是汉语的记录符号，属于表意文字，是世界上最古老的文字之一
现代汉字从甲骨文、金文、篆书、隶书、草书、楷书、行书等演变而
来，形体上逐渐由图形变为笔画，按照固定笔顺一笔一画写就。
Chinese characters are the written script of the Chinese
language. Belonging to the categor y of ideograms, they
comprise one of the oldest writing systems in the world.
Modern Chinese characters have evolved from oracle bone
script, bronze script, seal script, official script, cursive
script, regular script, running script and more. In the
process, they gradually shed off some exceedingly
pictographic features to take on their present forms,
consisting of strokes written in established sequences.

巧妙融入汉字“冬”之中

Chinese character “ 冬” (winter) in the emblem of the Beijing 2022 Winter

除希腊作为奥林匹克发源地、意大利作为下一届冬奥会东道主、中国作为本届东道主，分
别位列第一位及最后两位出场外，其他代表团的入场顺序按照代表团名称第一个汉字的笔
画数及笔画顺序（一、丨、丿、丶、冖）排列。

The order of the Parade of Nations is based on the number of strokes and
stroke order in the first character of the nation’s name in Mandarin.
(Greece, Italy and China didn’t follow the order—Greece entered first as it
has always done for being the site of the first Olympics in ancient times,
Italy entered second-to-last as the host of the next Winter Olympics, and
China entered last as the host of the current Winter Olympics.)

used to represent the year. The Beijing 2022 Winter

About 5,464 kilometers in full length, the Yellow River is

the most important origin of the Chinese civilization, and
as such, it is called the “Mother River ” by the Chinese
people. The presentation of the five interlocking Olympic
rings at Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was inspired by the
torrential waterfalls of the Yellow River.

The Guest-Greeting Pine

迎客松是黄山的标志性景观，是中国与世界人民和平友谊的象征。

Huangshan and a symbol of peace and friendship between
