The Olympic badge, because of its small and exquisite and resistant to preservation and easy collection, has always been a "must-punch" collection for badge enthusiasts. In the second-floor hall of the main media center of the Beijing Winter Olympics, there is such an area dedicated to four walls of the Emblem of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Especially next to the badge wall, there are also volunteers hand-painted "Olympic badge exchange history" and "Olympic badge exchange etiquette and rules" back panel, the image is vivid.

It is reported that this badge display area was erected on January 24, and the location is on the south side of the Winter Olympic Franchise Store on the second floor of the main media center. The badge display area focuses on the "Zodiac Series Badge", "Chinese Cuisine Series Badge", "Ice and Snow Sports Equipment Series Badge", "Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Venue Series Badge", "Meilan Zhuju Winter Olympic Poetry Painting Series Badge", "Chinese Traditional Festival Series Badge" and other series of Beijing Winter Olympics badges, which are exquisite in every way, fully demonstrating China's excellent traditional culture, the characteristics of the host city and the culture of Beijing Winter Olympics.
And by the wall of the badge, the volunteers' hand-drawn reading materials are vivid and vivid. The front of the panel depicts the "History of the Exchange of Olympic Badges", which tells the story of the 1896 Athens Olympic Games in which participants exchanged round cards worn to distinguish their identities to convey their blessings to each other, which is the prototype of the Olympic badge. By the 1908 London Olympics, the identification badge was introduced. At the 1912 Stockholm Olympic Games, Olympic souvenirs and badges were released for the first time. At the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, the completion of the Olympic Village greatly promoted the frequency and influence of the exchange of Olympic badges. At the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, the first emblem with a butterfly buckle appeared, which is now widely used to exchange the prototype of the badge.
The back of the panel depicts "Olympic badge exchange etiquette and rules", which includes the principle that badges need to be related to the Olympic Games, only exchanges and not sales, and friendly exchanges are fully voluntary. So how to distinguish the other party's willingness to exchange badges? That is, if the other party wears more than 3 badges, it usually means that he has the willingness to exchange badges.

If visitors have fully cultivated their willingness to collect badges in the badge display area, they can directly enter the Winter Olympic licensed merchandise store next door, which sells various styles of Olympic badges, many of which are collector's editions and limited editions, and then you can complete the badge exchange. No, the 3 media reporters who had just walked out of the Winter Olympics licensed merchandise store "looked at each other" and tacitly began to chat.
