A panda in winter that exudes warmth

Bing Dwen Dwen, the official mascot of the ongoing Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, is attracting worldwide attention.

According to Christophe Dubi, Olympic Games executive director of the International Olympic Committee, it looks like a giant panda that has just rolled in snow. The combination of a treasured Chinese animal and the ice cover gives people a sense of purity and power.

It is fair to say that Bing Dwen Dwen's design exudes both the Olympic spirit and zeitgeist, namely innovation. Bing Dwen Dwen is just one aspect of traditional Chinese culture that is on display at the Olympic Games. At the opening ceremony, there was a display of the"24 solar terms", or periods in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, through poetry and paintings. This showcasing of traditional Chinese culture is appealing for audiences around the world.
