Bing Dwen Dwen (English: Bing Dwen Dwen, Chinese Pinyin: bīng dūn dūn) is the mascot of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. It combines the image of a panda with an ice crystal shell rich in super energy. The shape of the head shell is taken from an ice and snow sports helmet, decorated with a colorful halo, and the overall image resembles an astronaut.
On August 8, 2018, the launching ceremony for the global collection of mascots for the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics was held. On the evening of September 17, 2019, Bing Dundun made her official debut.
Bingdundun means creating extraordinary and exploring the future, embodying the pursuit of excellence, leading the times, and facing the infinite possibilities of the future.
Symbolic meaning:
“Ice” symbolizes purity and strength, which are characteristics of the Winter Olympics. "Dundun" means honest, stocky and cute, which fits the overall image of the panda and symbolizes the strong body, perseverance and inspiring Olympic spirit of the Winter Olympics athletes.
The combination of the Bingdundun Panda image and the ice crystal shell integrates cultural elements with ice and snow sports and gives them new cultural attributes and characteristics, reflecting the characteristics of winter ice and snow sports. The panda is a world-recognized national treasure of China, with a friendly, cute and naive image. This design can not only represent China, which hosts the Winter Olympics, but also represent the Winter Olympics with a Chinese flavor. The colorful halo on the head is inspired by the "Ice Ribbon" of the Beijing National Speed ??Skating Arena. The flowing lines symbolize the ice and snow sports track and 5G high technology. The head shell shape is taken from ice and snow sports helmets. The overall shape of the panda is like an astronaut. He is an ice and snow sports expert from the future, implying the combination of modern technology and ice and snow sports.
