At present, the matters related to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are deepening, and the opening time of the Olympic Games, which people are concerned about, has been preliminarily determined after many plans, that is, at 8 o'clock on August 8, 2008, which can be called the four "8" consecutive launches. This time will await ***'s approval, and will also be discussed with the IOC 08 Beijing Olympic Coordination Committee. According to the person concerned, the opening time was set at the above-mentioned time, which was reached after repeated planning and verification, and it should be said that this time is of quite unique significance.
First of all, the Beijing Olympics symbolizes "harvest" and "abundant harvest". According to the relevant provisions of the IOC, the host country is free to choose the opening time in the second half of the Olympic year. However, in accordance with international practice, it is generally held in three months.
The Beijing Olympic Games were held on August 8, which is the beginning of autumn in the Chinese lunar calendar. The achievements of the Olympic athletes on the field are also full of "harvest". Secondly, it is conducive to the Olympians to create the best results. Autumn is recognized as the "good weather" in Beijing throughout the year, and it is truly crisp and refreshing, with pleasant scenery.
Autumn has always been the best season for tourism in Beijing, and the Olympic Games will be held on August 8, which is conducive to the promotion of Beijing Olympic tourism. This is evidenced by the fact that many of the largest outdoor events held in Beijing are held in the fall. According to the meteorological data provided by the ** Meteorological Observatory for decades, it is the rainy season in Beijing from the beginning of autumn to mid-August on August 8, and the wind is not strong, which is conducive to the best results of the Olympic athletes.
From late August, the winds in Beijing will gradually increase, so it is very wise to choose August 8 to hold the event. Prior to this, the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee had promised the International Olympic Committee that the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games would be a "humanistic Olympics" and a "green Olympics". Judging from the overall analysis of the situation, holding the Olympics in mid-to-late August will be conducive to the principle of "running the Olympics frugally."
This last "8", the determination of the specific time of the day, can be the most nerve-wracking. In the past 28 Olympic Games, the opening ceremony has mostly been held in the evening, and some have been held in the afternoon. The Beijing Olympics were held at 8 a.m., which is full of innovation.
However, it is true that there are still a number of aspects that need to be coordinated. For example, due to the time difference, whether foreign athletes and spectators at home and abroad can get up early in the morning to participate in or the opening ceremony also needs to be further considered. The Olympic Games will be held at 8 a.m., which will have a considerable impact on the sound and light effects in theatrical performances, and it is necessary to formulate a thorough plan for the opening ceremony.
What is certain is that the Beijing Olympics chose to be held at 8 o'clock on August 8, 2008, four consecutive "8s", which is not only good for people's memory, but also numerically interesting. Of course, the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee did not comment on the belief that some people think that China has the homonym "8" for "fa", "developed", and "rich".
