Domestic Mascot History Illustrated
01
Panpan
At the provincial level In , national and world-level sports events, as well as various types of important activities, an endless stream of mascots have always had different responses among the people. Among the most well-known mascots to the Chinese people, apart from the Fuwa of the 20XX Beijing Olympics, the mascot of the 19X China Asian Games "Panpan" is undoubtedly the "national memory killer". *Same memory.
These two classic mascots have also spawned many "descendants" who follow them as standards, and thus formed the main style of Chinese mascots.

"Bing Dundun" and "Snow Rongrong"
At present, the 20XX Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Olympics The Paralympic mascots "Bingdundun" and "Xuerongrong" continue the design ideas of the national treasure panda and Chinese traditional culture. After 32 years, the great-great-grandson of the panda "Pan Pan" "Bingdundun" was born (during this period, China has designed many unknown giant panda mascots based on "Pan Pan").
In addition to wearing a cool super-energy coat that keeps pace with the times, "Bingdundun" and "Panpan" can be said to have the same origin.
03
The Four Treasures of the Qinling Mountains
“Fuwa series” mascots are also continuing to be born. The "Qinling Four Treasures" mascot combination of the 14th Shaanxi Xi'an Games in 20XX, the "Xianhe Ruyi Le Yangyang" mascot combination of the [Guang] Asian Games in 20XX, and the "Fuwa" in 20XX were all presented in unprecedented ways. The number of people in the combination has become the largest number of mascots in the previous National Games, Asian Games and Olympic Games.
Among them, the "Four Treasures of the Qinling Mountains" include the crested ibis "Zhu Zhu", the giant panda "Xiong Xiong", the takin "Lingling", and the golden monkey "Jin Jin". They are obviously based on the four species owned by the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi Province. National treasure-level rare animals serve as creative prototypes. As soon as it was released, many netizens immediately expressed their disappointment.
People feel that the "Four Treasures of Qinling" are too imitative of Fuwa and have no originality. For example, pandas, antelopes, swallows and fish were chosen for Fuwa, and pandas, takin, crested ibises and golden monkeys were chosen for the "Four Treasures of the Qinling Mountains", which are very similar in color, movement and body shape. In addition, the "overlapping characters" of the mascot's name not only followed the idea of ??"Fuwa", but also directly selected a character from the animal's name, which is even more "unconventional".

Peaceful and happy
Let’s look at the mascot of the 20XX [Guang] Asian Games “Peaceful and happy” " combination, the names of these five sheep are Axiang, Ahe, Aru, Ayi and Leyangyang. Judging from the official promotional pictures, Le Yangyang is undoubtedly planning to debut in the C position.

Haibao
By the 20XX [Shanghai] World Expo, the mascot "Haibao" finally broke through the mainstream " The visual confinement of "Fuwa series" and "Panpan series". Its appearance is neither based on an animal nor a human figure, and it is unprecedentedly blue in color. However, "Hai Bao" did not escape the fate of being criticized, and it was even more violent than the "Fuwa series".
In the eyes of the design team, "Haibao" means "treasure from all over the world", which means good luck. Its seemingly unremarkable appearance from head to toe actually contains extremely rich connotations.
Among them, the hair is like rolling waves, highlighting the regional characteristics of the mascot’s birthplace; the eyes are large and round, reflecting the expectations for the future city;
Blue is full of inclusiveness and imagination, symbolizing hope for development. and potential; the round body shows the beautiful feeling of harmonious life; the big feet stand firmly on the ground, indicating that China has the ability and determination to host the World Expo; and the mutually supporting structure of the characters "human" actually reveals the beauty Life depends on the ideas you and I created.

After the birth of "Haibao", there has been a trend of abstract mascots. The mascot of the 20XX Nanjing [Youth] Olympic Games, "Panpang", must still be remembered by people to this day. It also has a more down-to-earth name - "Erhu Egg". Netizens thought the "Erhu Egg" was a bit ugly at first glance, but after looking at it for a long time, they actually found it a bit cute.
In fact, "Erhu egg" is a Nanjing dialect, which means naughty and mischievous, with a bit of "dumping" temperament, which is very vivid. When it is still, the Nianpi may look a little silly, but once it moves, it instantly turns into a brainwashed, demonic little monster, and you can't help but look at it more. This erhu egg, which stirs up the magical aesthetics of mascots, is actually inspired by the Yuhua Stone, a specialty of Nanjing, and was designed by a student from the Beijing Institute of Graphic Arts.
07
Kangkang
"Erhu Egg" unexpectedly became the nation's most "loved" mascot less than two years ago , the appearance of "Kangkang", the mascot of the 20XX Spring Festival Gala, threatened its status again.
At that time, the 3D version of Kangkang immediately caused a stir on the Internet as soon as it was announced. The public almost unanimously exclaimed, "I'm so ugly." People lamented that this was clearly a story about a poisoned kiwi fruit becoming a traffic light genie. The biggest drawback is that the two gills on Kangkang's face are rendered by 3D technology and become two unknown objects hanging on his face. It is really a "monkey thunder".
In fact, the effect of the original ink version of "Kangkang" is very cute, and it was also created by Han Meilin. It is said that Han Meilin has never seen Kangkang's 3D design plan, and it was really difficult for teacher Han Meilin to cause such a stir. It can only be said that this batch of "toxicity" has a great impact on the mascot world.

Jinwa
The mascot of the 13th National Games in 20XX, "Jinwa", has successfully caused a stir again Complaint craze. "Jinwa" wears tiger-head shoes, a red ribbon, and holds a torch in his hand, running towards the front, which symbolizes prosperity and reflects the scene of unity, progress, joy and peace.
Regarding the creation process of "Jinba", the designer recalled that during the discussion at the research stage, he accidentally talked about the idea of ??"ga" children (referring to smart, well-behaved and naughty children). The team unanimously believed that children are better than the ocean. Biology is closer to the Games. In addition, in order to highlight the characteristics of Tianjin, the characters drawn by Yang Liuqing were combined. Faced with the design draft of the "Ga" child, the design team thought it was an "unexpected gain."
The reason for the subsequent overturn was somewhat similar to "Kangkang". After the "Jinwa" grass carving version came out, netizens became uneasy. "Is this a mascot or an ancient mythical beast?" It looks like "avocado essence". The design level of domestic mascots continues to be restricted by official aesthetics, and it also needs to carry complicated local culture. It is difficult to gain people's recognition all year round. If an archaeology of mascots is conducted in the history of the Olympic Games, what will it look like? Mascot picture 2
