What are the highlights of the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics?

I think lighting the torch is really unique! The flame of the torch travels across thousands of rivers and mountains, from one man's hand to the center of a snowflake that ultimately represents many nations. It is just a torch, but it has come here through countless landscapes, which is somewhat similar to the negative theory of negation in philosophy. This torch has been sublimated.

Twenty-four solar terms countdown method

Different from the 10-second countdown that was common in previous large-scale events, the Beijing Winter Olympics uses 24 solar terms for countdown. Solar terms such as rain, insect chirping, vernal equinox, Qingming, Grain Rain and early summer appear in sequence. With the arrival of early winter, the countdown speed also accelerated, and finally on the day of the opening ceremony, the countdown to early spring "returned to zero". Combining ancient poems, proverbs, and proverbs, the charming scenery of China complements the sports scenes of ice and snow athletes. As netizens said, "Let people see the screenshot of the wallpaper in every frame." ?

Ice cubes turn into large LED screens.

A drop of ice-blue paint fell from the sky. It suddenly turned into the water of the Yellow River, rising and pouring. This scene makes people feel as if they are in the majestic spirit of the ancient Chinese poem "The Water of the Yellow River Falls from the Sky". The giant ice cube rising from the water becomes a "big screen", recalling the history of the past 23 cities that have hosted the Winter Olympics, and finally identifying "Beijing, China 2022".

Innovation in the lighting ceremony.

Finally, the much-anticipated main torch lighting ceremony also made many viewers call it "beyond imagination". When the last torchbearers Zhao Jiawen and Diniger Yilamujiang placed the torch on the huge snowflakes, the Olympic fire burned brightly. This huge snowflake appeared in the previous performance and can be said to be a "harbinger" of the opening ceremony. First, the snowflakes are made with the names of participating delegations from all over the world; second, the last torch is the main torch, which is a "low fire" that has never been seen in the 100-year history of the Olympic Games. This idea comes from the concept of low-carbon and environmental protection. ?The main way of lighting a torch is actually ?A leaf meets autumn. A small torch and a small flame are reminiscent of the great Olympic spirit and the burning passion and romance of all mankind. ?
