Baby panda says hello to the world

1.The helmet (头盔) made of ice makes the mascot in fashion. It looks like a spaceman in a space.

Bing Dwen Dwen waves its left hand to say hello. There are two red hearts in the hand, showing its kindness and love. A group of lines with different colors around its head look like the tracks (赛道) on an ice rink. 2.它们组成了五个圆圈。 They also stand for fast 5 G signals (信号)。

Three years ago, Bing Dwen Dwen became the mascot (吉祥物) for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. The design comes from 5, 816 works from 38 countries and areas. Cao Xue, the chief designer (设计师) of Bing Dwen Dwen, said the idea first came from the traditional Chinese snack bingtanghulu. 3.But a simple snack couldn’t stand for a country by itself. Cao’s team tried many animals and plants and finally decided on a panda.

However, there were already too many cartoon images of pandas. Cao first decided that it should be a baby panda instead of an adult one, 4.因此它的身体和它的头是一样的长。

Cao’s team looked all over the world to collect all the panda designs they could find. They wanted to make sure their panda looked special. They visited the panda nature reserve in Wolong, Sichuan, to get ideas. They found that baby pandas are pigeon-toed (内八字) and often lean in while standing. Now the panda in an ice shell is made into toys and models, as well as printed on notebooks, badges (徽章) and bags. People of all ages like them very much. “5.Design is like dancing with chains. I’m glad we performed a good dance.” Cao said.
