Introduction to the Olympic Torch] The Olympic Torch is a hand-held torch approved by the International Olympic Committee for the burning of the Olympic flame. The Olympic torch is the carrier of the Olympic flame. Since the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, each Olympic Games has produced a torch that reflects the cultural characteristics of the host country and meets the high-tech requirements, and has become an important legacy of the Olympic Movement.

Beijing Olympic Torch - Introduction to Xiangyun] The Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch is inspired by the "Xiangyun" pattern of "symbiosis and harmony". The cultural concept of Xiangyun has a time span of thousands of years in China and is a representative symbol of Chinese culture. The design of the torch shape is inspired by traditional Chinese paper scrolls.

Paper is one of the four great inventions of China, which came to the West through the Silk Road. Human civilization spread with the advent of paper. The use of lacquer red on the torch originated in the Han Dynasty makes it clearly different from the previous Olympic torch design, and the color of red and silver contrast produces a striking visual effect, which is conducive to various forms of transmission.

The upper and lower proportions of the torch are evenly divided, and the auspicious cloud pattern and three-dimensional relief craft design make the whole torch elegant and gorgeous, and the connotation is heavy.

The torch is made of carbon fiber material.

The torch of the Beijing Winter Olympics "Feiyang" uses carbon fiber material. This time, the high-temperature resistant carbon fiber material developed by the Chinese company itself is selected, and the magical carbon fiber is known as the king of new materials!

Zhu Yongfei, chairman of Yunlu Composite Materials (Shanghai), introduced: "The shape of the torch is very special, it is a multi-curved space body, and to reflect its beautiful curves, it is necessary to use three-dimensional weaving technology, because the traditional process is difficult to achieve. We want to be able to embody that it's a fusion of art and technology.

> carbon fiber, first of all, it is carbon, with a carbon content of up to 95%, but at the same time it is a fiber, just like the clothes we usually wear, the fiber of the spinning, is very soft, and the processability is very strong.

Such a magical material, first of all, is used in aerospace, such as fighter jets, strategic missiles, rockets, satellites, including cutting-edge **, racing cars, civil engineering, competitive sports and so on.

Carbon fiber technology has very strict technical barriers, only Japan, the United States and a few other developed countries have mastered its key core technology, for us China is a long-term technology blockade and product monopoly.

"Torch" means: a tool used to light and transmit fire. It is usually made by tying a flammable item (such as a rag soaked in grease or asphalt) to the tip of a stick.

It can be inserted into a shelf on the wall when used inside the house, and held by hand when used in the field. In addition to the basic interpretation, the torch traditionally symbolizes light, enlightenment. Torches are also called torches.

As a sacred symbol, fire dates back to prehistoric times. The fire is on.

Greek history represents creation, regeneration, and light. In Greek mythology, fire was the sacred symbol of Hephaestus, a gift that Prometheus stole from Zeus to give to humanity.

In the center of each ancient Greek city-state, there was an altar that burned the eternal fire, and every household of the city-state also had an eternal flame dedicated to Hestia, the goddess of the hearth. Originally held at night as a religious ritual in ancient Greece, the torch relay was soon transformed into a team sport that first emerged among teenagers, and eventually evolved into one of the most popular sports in ancient Greece.

In the council hall of the ancient city of Olympia there was an altar dedicated to Hestia, and the sacred flame of the altar was lit with a concave disc or mirror focused on the sun's rays. The flame is never extinguished. The process of lighting the flame is very simple, but it can make a lasting impression.

The sunken smooth plane allows sunlight to be brought to the focal point, and the High Priestess is able to light it by extending the torch to the focal point.

The ancient Greeks held a torch relay competition in which participants had to carry the torch to the finish line. The religious ceremony of the ancient Greek torch relay was held every four years in honor of the goddess Athena. The power of the flame was carried by the torchbearers in the fastest possible way.

The torch relay began at the altar of Prometheus and ended at the altar of the goddess Athena, located on the ancient Acropolis. The torch relay was carried out by 40 young people from 10 Athenian tribes, covering a distance of kilometres.

The modern Olympic flame is lit in the same ceremony as in ancient Greece, and is also lit by priestesses in Olympia along with the reading of the athletes' oath. The Olympic flame will then be awarded to the first torchbearer, marking the official start of the torch relay. To this day, the power of the Olympic torch relay continues to influence and touch the hearts of millions of people.

In ancient Greek mythology, the fire on earth originated from Prometheus, the god of heaven, who stole fire from God and gave it to humans. Since 1936, the Torch Relay has been an integral part of every Olympic Games. The Olympic flame is a symbol of peace.

From the ancient Olympic Games more than 2,000 years ago to the modern Olympic Games that began in 1896, peace has always been the main theme of the Olympic movement and the core of the Olympic spirit. When the sacred torch burns under the blue sky and white clouds, nothing can ignite people's desire and pursuit of peace more than the Olympic flame, and there is no other activity that is more evident than the significance of the Olympic torch to convey peace around the world. In 2008, the Olympic Games came to Beijing, and the Olympic flame also came to China, and the torch relay is of great importance and far-reaching significance to China.

First of all, the Olympic torch carried forward the Olympic spirit in the places where the relay passed. The Olympic rings are one of the most recognizable symbols in the world and fully embody the Olympic spirit. This spirit is not only a spirit of sports, but also a symbol of world peace, harmony, cooperation, friendship and unity.

This spirit has gone beyond sport and has become a universal identity. It will be passed from hand to hand by the flame, and it will be revealed to the world in the warm scene of thousands of empty alleys, evoking this noble feeling of the people. Secondly, the torch relay is a reminder of:

The Olympic Games are about to be held in Beijing, and this is the most effective publicity for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. When they see the Olympic torch, people from all over the world will think of China, a China that is developing rapidly and changing the fate of the Chinese. According to the survey, China's positive recognition in the world has reached the fifth place in the world, much higher than that of the United States.

This is enough to prove that the decision of the IOC in Moscow in 2001 to choose Beijing to host the 2008 Olympic Games was correct and expected. When the Olympic flame was transmitted to Beijing, the Chinese were full of joy and hope for the success of the Beijing Olympic Games, arousing people's enthusiasm to contribute to the Beijing Olympic Games. Yesterday, the Chinese were stigmatized as the "sick man of East Asia"; Today, China stands among the world's sports powers as a world sports power, and China has become the focus of the world because of the Olympic Games held in Beijing.

This is something that Chinese at home and abroad are proud of, and the torch has given people the opportunity to express this emotion. Finally, the design of the Olympic torch encompasses the traditional culture of the host country and the host city, which provides a rare opportunity for the host country and the host city to showcase their achievements in history, culture, art and other aspects, which can fully demonstrate the unique personality of each host country in terms of traditional cultural concepts that are different from other countries in the world. The Beijing Olympic torch relay is an opportunity to promote China to the world.

The torch is passed from country to country, just like sending Chinese business cards to every corner of the world.
