The Implication of the Torch in Beijing Winter Olympics

The color of the torch of Beijing Winter Olympics is silver-red, which symbolizes "ice meets fire, passion flies, lights up ice and snow, and warms the world". The torch of Beijing Paralympic Winter Games is silver and gold, which symbolizes brilliance and dreams, and embodies the Paralympic values of "courage, determination, motivation and equality".

The bottom ring of the torch is engraved with the full name of "Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games" in Braille. Based on the auspicious cloud pattern, the torch gradually transitions from the auspicious cloud pattern to the paper-cut snowflake pattern from bottom to top, and rotates and rises like a ribbon dancing.

According to Kent Li, the appearance designer of the torch, Xiangyun conveys the meaning of auspiciousness, which is a continuation of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Snowflakes represent the characteristics of the Winter Olympics and are an innovation of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. "The torch pattern design not only embodies the inheritance and development of the' Double Olympic City', but also contains China's traditional thought of' Taoism is natural and man is integrated'."

"flying" materials

From the appearance, the overall shape of "Yang Fei" is inspired by nature, and the streamlined power of nature is full of vitality; As far as fuel is concerned, hydrogen is taken from water, which will become water after combustion, achieving zero carbon emission and practicing the concept of "Green Winter Olympics". Ice and fire meet and fly with passion, showing the vitality and dreams of ice and snow sports and illuminating every day leading to Beijing 2022.

The torch shell of Beijing Winter Olympics is made of carbon fiber and its composite materials, which is characterized by "light, solid and beautiful". The bottleneck of the application of carbon fiber composites in extreme conditions is solved (the torch shell can be used normally in hydrogen combustion environment above 800℃). The problems of blistering and cracking of the torch shell during the preparation of 1000℃ at high temperature were solved.
