On March 1, the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee announced the torch, tinder lamp and tinder platform of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games, of which the idea of the tinder lamp is still derived from the "first lamp in China" excavated from Hebei - the Western Han Dynasty Changxin Palace lamp.
According to reports, the Beijing Winter Paralympic Torch Relay adheres to the working principles of "simple and wonderful, ensuring safety", "innovative form, outstanding characteristics" and "two Olympic Games, equally wonderful", and arranges offline torch relay and ceremonial activities in a safe and controllable closed venue to avoid interference with local production and life and event organization and operation.
Adhering to the above principles, the torch, tinder lamp and tinder platform of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games are basically consistent with the torch, tinder lamp and tinder platform of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, and the theme color has changed from red at the Beijing Winter Olympic Games to silver and gold.
Among them, the "flying" shape of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Torch is extremely dynamic and dynamic, and the color is silver and gold, which symbolizes glory and dreams. The golden lines run up and down with the torch, symbolizing the passion of the ice and snow track, but also representing the eternal fire, expressing the expectations of human life, inclusiveness and integration, yearning for peace and the Paralympic values of "courage, determination, motivation and equality".
At the same time, the overall appearance of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Torch echoes the form of the main torch tower at the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games, reflecting the inheritance and flying of the City of the Two Olympic Games. The torch material is made of carbon fiber material, which reduces the weight of the torch, and the fuel uses hydrogen fuel to achieve zero emissions from the torch combustion, reflecting the "green" Olympic concept and the results of the Winter Olympics in science and technology.
The creativity of the Tinder lantern for the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games still comes from the "first lamp in China" - the lamp of the Changxin Palace of the Western Han Dynasty. The Changxin Palace lamp was unearthed in Hebei and was a Western Han Palace lamp more than 2,000 years ago. "Long faith" is an eternal belief, representing people's pursuit and yearning for light and hope.
In addition, the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games Ceremony Tinder Terrace is designed with the concept of "inheriting the heavens and carrying things", and the creative inspiration comes from the traditional Chinese bronze ceremonial vessel - "Zun", and the modeling style is harmonious with the torch and tinder lamp. The auspicious cloud pattern turns into snowflakes from the bottom up, symbolizing the spiritual inheritance of the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games and the 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympic Games.
