With the approaching of the Beijing Winter Olympics, people on the land of Shenzhou have begun to feel the increasingly strong atmosphere of the Winter Olympics: whether it is the increase in the winter Olympic elements from the streets and alleys, or the preparations of ice and snow athletes, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the Winter Olympics. To this end, the Beijing News Commentary Department specially launched the "Pay Attention to the Beijing Winter Olympics Series Commentary", please pay attention to it.
With the arrival of the Spring Festival, the Beijing Winter Olympic Games are also about to kick off.
On February 1, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the "Winter Olympics, Sports and Culture" theme press conference was held in the Lichun Hall on the first floor of the main media center of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, and Zhao Weidong, spokesman of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, said that the Spring Festival and the Winter Olympics are double happiness and good things, which is a precious gift from the international Olympic family to China. ”
When the Winter Olympics meet the Spring Festival, when the ice and snow meet the culture, this is destined to be a different Winter Olympics. When the citizens are busy celebrating the New Year, the Winter Olympic Village and the Winter Olympic venues are also hung with lanterns, Chinese knots, and affixed with festive blessing characters and Spring Festival, which are full of joy and peace. Visitors from all over the world celebrated traditional Chinese festivals, and the fusion of this cultural dimension made the Beijing Winter Olympics burst out with more brilliant and dazzling brilliance.
If we trace the origin of the Spring Festival, we can find that the Spring Festival is highly compatible with the Olympic spirit. The Spring Festival is to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and it is also to open the door to welcome guests. This Year's Winter Olympics will be attended by thousands of athletes, accompanying officials and staff from different countries and regions, which is a big party for ice and snow athletes around the world.
As the host, China warmly greets, organizes in an orderly manner, and serves carefully, showing the way of opening the door to welcome guests in the country of etiquette, and also corresponds to the Olympic spirit of "unity and fraternity, fair competition and mutual understanding".

From a higher dimension, the warm welcoming atmosphere of the Spring Festival is also in line with the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind. The Spring Festival embodies the beautiful vision of family reunion, which is the unremitting pursuit of love and peace and the unity of the world. And the Olympic spirit has, from the very beginning, symbolized peace, friendship and solidarity for all humankind.
To build a community with a shared future for mankind is to build a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, inclusiveness, cleanliness and beauty under the guidance of these goals. Although the Spring Festival and the Olympic Games have different origins, they actually have the same destination.
When talking about the encounter between the Spring Festival and the Winter Olympics, IOC President Bach also pointed out that the significance of the Olympic Games is to bring the world together, which is parallel to the cultural identity of reunion and reunion in Chinese Spring Festival culture.
Therefore, in a sense, the encounter between the Spring Festival and the Winter Olympics is not only a good color, but also has a certain transcendent value, so that the two traditions and two civilizations will last forever in embracing and blending, and let the people of all countries work together in unity and fraternity.
At present, the Spring Festival atmosphere of the Winter Olympic Village and the Winter Olympic venues has been "full", only for a grand event. The requirements for hosting this Winter Olympic Games are "simple, safe and wonderful", and all arrangements are currently carried out in an orderly manner under this purpose.
A wonderful Winter Olympics event must be full of warm blessings and good expectations, and the current fiery Spring Festival elements are also setting off the atmosphere for this grand event, which can be described as an "atmosphere group" full of sincerity.
The preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics have entered the final sprint stage, and when creating a strong Spring Festival atmosphere, the Winter Olympics preparatory team has not slackened off at all. According to relevant introductions, the current epidemic prevention and control is effective and completely controllable.
The Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee has always put the health and safety of all participants in the first place, and in close cooperation with the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee, it has issued two editions of the epidemic prevention manual, clarified the specific measures for epidemic prevention, and obtained the test of test matches and trial venues. All this is to ensure that the Winter Olympics will be held safely and smoothly.
At the same time, the athletes of the delegations are actively carrying out adaptive training, and the work of hotels, catering, medical care, health, transportation support, and volunteer services is also running in an orderly manner. The festival and the preparation for the competition are not contradictory, the event guarantee is closely prepared and relaxed, and this Winter Olympics makes people full of confidence and look forward to it.
14 years ago, Beijing successfully hosted the Summer Olympic Games, and now, as the only "city of double Olympics", the Beijing Winter Olympics is about to present a wonderful ice and snow feast for audiences from all over the world. Those Chinese elements that can be seen everywhere are a big stage to show China's image, and will also help the world accelerate its understanding of the real China. We "set up the feast and prepared the food", just waiting for the curtain to open and play the ice and snow chapter.
