The costumes of the torchbearers of the Beijing Olympic Games strictly abide by the regulations of the International Olympic Committee, and there are no commercial signs. On the basis of white, they highlighted the color of China red, and lined it with orange and light gray, which reflected the warm and festive characteristics of the torch relay. Torchbearer's costume is the symbol of "Fire Phoenix" in the torch relay of Beijing Olympic Games on the upper left, and the Olympic rings and the words "Beijing 2008" are painted on the back. The clothes are shoulder-inserted style, and the traditional phoenix pattern is asymmetrically painted on the shoulders. The streamlined design has a strong sense of movement, forming the feeling that the fire phoenix is flying.

The pattern of "Fire Phoenix" is adopted because Phoenix is the king of birds, which belongs to fire in the five elements and is a symbol of nobility and beauty. The legend of phoenix's rebirth from nirvana has a far-reaching influence on China's traditional culture. Torchbearers of the Beijing Olympic Games will wear uniforms wrapped in phoenix and auspicious clouds, hold high the Olympic flame and join hands to bring auspicious peace to all parts of the world.
