Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, it is February 4th, it is the opening day of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, when the Spring Festival and the Winter Olympics meet unexpectedly, what kind of sparks will be bumped out?
Some commentators have pointed out that the Chinese year is both a time system and a life practice. Because the New Year not only symbolizes the material abundance and abundant food and clothing of the Chinese, but also represents the harmony of relatives and friends, social friendliness, and also expresses the summary of the past and the prospect of the future.
The Olympic Games originated in the West, and it is related to the national character of the ancient Greeks who pursued hard work and entertainment in the world. Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics, once said that sport must create beauty and create opportunities for beauty. Figure skating is beautiful, freestyle skiing is beautiful. The fierce physical confrontation and beautiful performances of the athletes make people feel suspenseful, but also bring people joy and excitement.
