[ Edit this paragraph] Guangzhou Asian Games Emblem

On November 26th, 26, the 16th Asian Games Organizing Committee held the release ceremony of the emblem of the 21 Asian Games in Zhongshan Memorial Hall, Guangzhou. The design scheme of the emblem symbolizing "Yangcheng" Guangzhou designed by Guangzhou designer Zhang Qiang became the emblem of the 21 Guangzhou Asian Games. The emblem is designed with soft and rising lines, forming the outline of Wuyang, which looks like a torch, symbolizing that the flame of the Asian Games will burn 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 in Guangzhou, with five mascots-Leyangyangyangyang as the mascot, which fully embodies the historical background, spiritual outlook and cultural charm of the host country and city. These five sheep have names similar to the mascot of Beijing Olympic Games "Welcome to Beijing", and their images are five fashionable sheep, named A Xiang, A He, A Ru, A Yi and Le Yang Yang, which constitute "peace and happiness", expressing that the Guangzhou Asian Games will bring "auspiciousness, harmony, happiness, perfection and happiness" to Asian people.

Interpretation of the mascot of the Asian Games

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

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

"Leyangyang" is a tall, handsome, sunny and confident sheep. It is colored yellow in the Olympic rings, symbolizing the host city "Guangzhou City" (the color of rice ears), which means a bumper harvest and joy. It will be a valuable spiritual wealth for Asian people to express the success of the Asian Games.

"Ayi" is a playful, lovely, lively and cheerful lamb, colored as the green in the Olympic rings. The vibrant green gives her an 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 the Guangzhou Asian Games comes from the urban legends of Guangzhou. According to legend, a long time ago, there was a famine in Guangzhou 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, respectively, and coming to Guangzhou. The immortal gave the ear of rice to the people of Guangzhou and wished that there would never be a famine here, while the 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 "Five Sheep Holding the Valley" made "Five Sheep" the most famous symbol in Guangzhou.

The story of five fairy sheep has inspired countless experts and designers to decide on five mascots. From a cultural point of view, in some western countries, the number "5" has extraordinary and perfect meaning. 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" is "beauty". In the traditional cultures of many Asian countries, "sheep" is also an auspicious thing, which can bring people luck. 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 five-ring flag of the Olympic Games, which is also the largest number of mascots in previous Asian Games.

The name of the mascot is

a mascot, which 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 Leyangyang 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 the Guangzhou Asian Games for "peace, prosperity, well-being, becoming a mascot-making sheep happy and happy", but also conveys the concept of "harmony and passion" of the Games.

Secret Creation Group: Four students from Guang Mei created Leyangyang

Among the seven designers of the mascot Leyangyang, four of the founders are students of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, among whom Zhou Li is a graduate student of the Digital Art Design Department of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, and the other three-Liang Jiawen, Li Weikun and Lin Zhenjun are classmates of the fourth grade of the Digital Department 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 Product 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 January 6th, 28, creative groups entered the "secret base", and the Guangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee organized them to carry out closed work. Closed work is very strict. During the creative period, any communication tools, such as mobile phones, must be turned over for safekeeping, and members of creative groups can hardly contact their families. After more than three months of closed and concentrated creation, the mascot of the 16th Asian Games was finally born in Guangzhou on April 28th, 28.

Professor Chen Xiaoqing, director of the Department of Digital Design Art of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, said that the release of mascots can not be separated from the bold and rich creativity of the post-8s generation. "Li Weikun and two students are both young people born in the post-8s generation. 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 the young people."

short story: the number of mascots collected for the Asian Games exceeded that for the Olympic Games

At the end of the mascot collection, the Organizing Committee received 812 entries, which was more than the entries collected for the Beijing Olympic Games. At that time, the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee only received more than 6 social entries. 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 through calls, letters or official website, and expounded their views on the mascots of the Asian Games.
