On the evening of February 4, the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was held at the National Stadium, in the program "Build a Snowflake", the white snowflakes fluttered over the stadium, and finally all the guides held aloft the snowflake guide card, through dance and interaction with the light and shadow on the ground, let all the snowflakes converge and build a big snowflake together. And this big snowflake is put together by the guide cards of various countries.
So beautiful! Netizens praised the Chinese romance at the opening ceremony, and the artistic conception of snowflakes did indeed come from ancient Chinese poetry.
According to the Opening Ceremony Media Guide, the story of "A Snowflake" is the core image and main line of the opening ceremony. The Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai 1300 years ago had a poem: "The snowflakes of Yanshan Mountain are as big as a seat", which is a famous sentence describing snowflakes, romantic, exaggerated, and full of endless imagination.
At the same time, there is a proverb in the West: "There are no two snowflakes in the world that are the same." This phrase is also well known in China. Snowflakes are different, but together they make up a beautiful winter. This is like all the countries that come to participate in the Winter Olympics, everyone has different languages, appearances and civilizations, which are different from each other but can be beautiful and share the same beauty, and together form a home on earth.
Therefore, the story of "a snowflake" runs through the entire opening ceremony - the countdown short film, the guide sign of the name of the participating country, the actor's costume, the peace dove performance and the background of the theme song singing to the main torch, all of which are from "a snowflake" as the core visual image, throughout.
