On January 25th, the series of main activities of "Appreciating the New Year paintings for the New Year" kicked off in Beijing Fang. In the work "China Tiger Baby Passionate Winter Olympics" selected and sent in Beijing, the five Olympic rings are transformed into five circular ice and snow fields, and five Fuwa who wear tiger head hats and tiger head shoes enjoy snow and snow sports such as skiing, short track speed skating, and ice hockey, which have aroused the attention and praise of many citizens. Looking at the entire exhibition, you will also find that "ice piers" and "snow rongrong" have embarked on the central axis of Beijing, traditional paper-cutting has cut out the Shougang ski jump, and traditional ink painting presents a different beauty of ice and snow sports... The theme of the Winter Olympics enriches the expression of the New Year paintings, and the Elements of the Winter Olympics become the biggest highlight of the exhibition.

"If there is a picture, it must be intentional, and if it is intentional, it must be auspicious." As a unique folk art in China, the New Year painting records the simple customs and habits of the people, and pins the people's hopes for the New Year and the future. Whether it is the creation process of painting New Year paintings and talking about New Year paintings, or the cultural activities of appreciating New Year paintings and LeNian paintings, it is a good opportunity for contemporary people to explore traditional Chinese culture and feel the charm of Chinese culture. In the "New Year Paintings for the New Year" activity launched by Beijing Municipality, one by one, the elements of the Winter Olympics jumped on the paper, vividly appeared, and the traditional patterns of the New Year paintings familiar to the people were reflected; this was obviously a wonderful collision of the Olympic connotation and the essence of Chinese culture, harmoniously blending, and highlighting the charm of the new era emitted by traditional Chinese culture. Through a grand exhibition of "Olympic New Year Paintings", it is not difficult for us to find that the New Year of the Tiger in Beijing has been mixed with a distinct "Olympic New Year flavor".

The Year of the Tiger is approaching, and the Covenant of the Winter Olympics is about to begin. According to the custom of "the first month is the year", the entire duration of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games will coincide perfectly with the Chinese New Year. Therefore, not only this eye-catching New Year painting exhibition, but also the streets and alleys of Beijing, the shelves of commercial supermarkets, and the doors and windows under the eaves all exude a strong "Olympic New Year flavor". For example, as the site of the Winter Olympic Organizing Committee and an important competition area, Shijingshan has built a decorative landscape of the Winter Olympics on many roads, creating a strong atmosphere of "celebrating the Winter Olympics and celebrating the New Year", attracting residents to continue to take photos and praise; at many intersections in Beijing, you can also see the image of "ice piers" and "snow melting", which not only represents the friendship and strength of the game, but also adds a prosperous and joyful joy to the New Year. Among the Winter Olympic licensed goods that are sold online and offline, the "Ignite the Winter Olympics" countdown series badges form a string of fiery red firecrackers, telling the indissoluble relationship between China and the Olympic Games for more than a hundred years; the Beijing Winter Olympic Mascot Palace Lights combine the Winter Olympics mascots with the palace lights, and weave the blessings of the Winter Olympics into the Chinese knot. On the daily shelves, some cultural gifts, New Year food packaging have also been draped in the color of the Winter Olympic ice and snow; in the Spring Festival pasted by the people, the lanterns hung on them have also added the words of the Winter Olympics and the mascot pattern, and even the various Spring Festival Gala stages that have opened in advance on the TV set, there are also singers wearing skates while dancing and singing.

Festive Elements of the Winter Olympics can be seen everywhere, deeply penetrating the sense of ceremony for the citizens to celebrate the New Year; a symphony of the Winter Olympics and the Chinese New Year is playing in unison in the streets and alleys. The winter Olympic color added by the New Year of the Tiger meets everyone's new expectations for the taste of the New Year, and also enriches the sense of gain brought by the New Year to the citizens at the spiritual level. The collective appreciation and welcome of the citizens for the Winter Olympic New Year is also full of love for life, blessings for the Winter Olympic Games and praise for the Olympic spirit. In this Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger in Beijing, the Winter Olympics can become the first protagonist of the New Year, which not only reflects the open, inclusive, warm and friendly character of Beijing citizens, but also makes Chinese traditional culture have more diversified charm and stronger vitality.
