[Edit this paragraph] Guangzhou Asian Games emblem

On June 26th, 2006, the Organizing Committee of the 6th Asian Games held a ceremony to release the emblem of the 20th Asian Games at Zhongshan Memorial Hall in Guangzhou. The emblem of Guangzhou, a symbol of "Yangcheng" designed by Guangzhou designer Zhang Qiang, became the emblem of the 20 10 Guangzhou Asian Games. The emblem is designed with soft rising lines, forming the outline of Wuyang, which looks like a torch, symbolizing that the flame of the Asian Games will burn endlessly and never go out. It not only embodies the symbol of Guangzhou, but also expresses the good wishes of the people of Guangzhou, and also shows the dynamic nature of the Games.

[Edit this paragraph] Guangzhou Asian Games mascot

The mascot of Guangzhou Asian Games is named Leyangyang, a set of 5 species, which is the largest number of mascots in previous Asian Games. "Wuyang" is the most famous symbol of Guangzhou, with five mascots-Leyangyangyangyang as mascots, which fully embodies the historical background, spiritual outlook and cultural charm of the host country and city. The names of these five sheep are similar to the mascots of Beijing Olympic Games "Welcome to Beijing", and their images are five fashionable sheep, named "Ahe", "Aru" and "Heyang", which constitute "peace and happiness" and express that the Guangzhou Asian Games will bring "auspiciousness, harmony, happiness, perfection and happiness" to Asian people.

Interpretation of Asian Games Mascot

"A Xiang" is a handsome, sincere and brave lamb, the blue of the Olympic rings, symbolizing the flowing Pearl River, and representing the peaceful and friendly character and broad and inclusive mind of the people of Guangzhou.

Aru is a beautiful, fashionable, intelligent and enthusiastic lamb, which is the red in the Olympic rings and symbolizes the city flower kapok in Guangzhou.

"Le Yangyang" is a tall, handsome, sunny and confident sheep. It is the yellow of the Olympic rings, symbolizing the host city "Guangzhou" (the color of rice ears), which means harvest and joy. Expressing the success of the Asian Games will be the precious spiritual wealth of the Asian people.

"Auntie" is a naughty, lovely, lively and cheerful lamb, whose color is like the green in the Olympic rings. Vibrant green gives her elegant and agile temperament, symbolizing Baiyun Mountain.

"Ahe" is a simple, humble, calm and firm lamb, colored as black in the Olympic rings, symbolizing the long history of Lingnan culture and the profound historical and cultural accumulation of the ancient city of thousands of years.

Originality comes from urban legends

The creativity of the mascot of Guangzhou Asian Games comes from the urban legend of Guangzhou. According to legend, a long time ago, Guangzhou suffered from famine for years and the people were in dire straits. One day, there were five immortals in the sky riding five fairy sheep with ears of rice to Guangzhou. The immortal gave the ear of rice to the people of Guangzhou, wishing that there would never be a famine here, and five fairy sheep turned to stone and stayed in Guangzhou. Since then, Guangzhou has become the richest place in Lingnan. Thousands of years ago, the legend of "Wuyang holding the valley" made "Wuyang" the most famous symbol in Guangzhou.

The story of five fairy sheep inspired countless experts and designers to set the mascot as five. From a cultural point of view, in some western countries, the number "5" has extraordinary and perfect significance. In the traditional culture of China, the number "5" is also widely used, such as the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements.

In ancient China characters, "sheep" means "auspicious", and "auspicious" can also be written as "auspicious sheep"; China's traditional aesthetic concept is that "sheep is big" means "beauty". In the traditional culture of many Asian countries, "sheep" is also an auspicious thing, which can bring good luck to people. Therefore, the mascot of Guangzhou Asian Games is "sheep", which is accepted and loved by people of different cultures and religions in Asia. In addition, "5" is also the number of the Olympic rings, which is also the largest number of mascots in previous Asian Games.

The name of the mascot is exquisite.

Mascot is an important symbol of every sports meeting. For Guangzhou, the host city, the mascot is an important carrier of the image brand of the Asian Games. The birth of the mascot Le Yangyang is another milestone in the preparations for the Guangzhou Asian Games, which has a positive and far-reaching impact on spreading the image of the Guangzhou Asian Games and promoting the preparations for the Asian Games.

It is of great significance to determine how to name five sheep as mascots. The name of the mascot not only fully expresses the good wishes of "peace, prosperity, well-being, becoming a mascot-making the sheep happy" of the Guangzhou Asian Games, but also conveys the concept of "harmony and passion" of the Asian Games.

Secret Creation Group: Four students in Guang Mei created Pleasant Goat.

Among the seven designers of the mascot Le Yangyang, four are students of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, among whom are graduate students in the Department of Digital Art and Design of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, and the other three-Liang, Li and Lin Zhenjun are fourth-grade students in the Department of Digital Art of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. The other three are instructors. They are Chen Xiaoqing, director and professor of digital design art department of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, Li Yong, general manager of Guangzhou Jiangtong Animation Products R&D Co., Ltd., and Lai Xiaoling, designer.

This team is rich in personnel structure, perfect in knowledge structure and artistic style, and reasonable in age structure and gender structure. On June 6th, 2008, the 65438 creative team entered the "secret base", and the Guangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee organized them to carry out the closed work. The closure work is very strict. During the creative period, any communication tools, such as mobile phones, must be turned over for safekeeping, and members of the creative team can hardly contact their families. After more than three months of closed and concentrated creation, the mascot of 16 Asian Games was finally born in Guangzhou on April 28th, 2008.

Chen Xiaoqing, director and professor of digital design art department of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, said that the release of mascots is inseparable from the bold and rich creativity of the post-80s generation. "Li and his two classmates are young people born after 1980s. They participated in the first two national animation design competitions and won many awards. These young people are fashionable, energetic and innovative. Professor Chen Xiaoqing said: "The final release of Leyangyang is inseparable from the bold and rich creativity of young people."

Story: The number of mascots collected for the Asian Games exceeds that of the Olympic Games.

By the end of the mascot solicitation, the organizing committee had received 8 12 entries, more than the entries collected by the mascots of the Beijing Olympic Games. At that time, BOCOG only received more than 600 entries from the society. After the news of the solicitation activities was released, the solicitation of mascots for the Guangzhou Asian Games received enthusiastic support and positive response from people from all walks of life. During the solicitation process, many enthusiastic people learned about the solicitation activities by telephone, letter or official website, and expounded their views on the mascots of the Asian Games. Among the applicants, the oldest is a 77-year-old retired worker in Guangzhou, and the youngest is only 10, a primary school student in Foshan.
