Under the expectation of all, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics was held as scheduled at 20:00 on February 4, and the opening ceremony of this session was particularly concise, but there was still no lack of Chinese elements and the presentation of the Olympic spirit. Let's take a look at what's so exciting about this Winter Olympics!
Chinese elements
The opening ceremony coincided with the Lunar New Year, and director Zhang Yimou also accurately grasped this point of convergence, and unexpectedly used the 24 solar terms as a countdown, when the familiar solar terms accompanied by the short film showed the magnificent scenes of China's various seasons, making people sincerely lament that our country is so beautiful. The presentation of ice and snow sports in the short film is also unique, perfectly combining traditional Chinese elements with ice and snow. Five thousand years of traditional Chinese civilization are fully displayed.
During the Olympic flag raising ceremony, the children of the concert song all wore clothes with tiger head patterns and tiger head shoes, which was a perfect fit with the elements of the Year of the Tiger in the Lunar Calendar. IOC President Bach also mentioned the Year of the Tiger in his speech, and stressed that the Year of the Tiger has something in common with the Olympic Year.
Elements of technology
Compared with the 2008 Olympic Games, the use of ground LED screens is larger, extending to the whole field, while there is a tall digital standing screen, and there is also a week-long ring screen above the Bird's Nest Stadium. In the cultural performance, it is often possible to see 3 screens presented at the same time, and the embodiment on the scene is very shocking.
At the same time, in the peace dove display session, 600 young dancers were caught in artificial intelligence capture technology, which greatly reduced the difficulty of rehearsal and fully demonstrated the power of science and technology.
Musical elements
The selection of music at this Year's Winter Olympics is mainly familiar, and the melody of "My Motherland and Me" was used at the national flag relay ceremony, and "Let the World Be Full of Love" was used in the link showing the theme of this Winter Olympic Games, "Together to the Future". When showing the Olympic theme of "Higher, Faster, Stronger, More United", the classic Beatles song "Imagine" at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was selected.
Creative elements
Finally, I have to mention that this year's ignition ceremony is simply full of creativity, when all the suspense is concentrated in the final ignition link, the two young torchbearers put the torch in their hands in the center of the snowflake pattern made of all the guide cards. And then...... There is no main torch tower, but it is the torch stand composed of all national guide boards that symbolizes that all countries are surrounded by a small Olympic fire! On the contrary, it is more humanistic than the ignition ceremony with a full sense of technology.
