The mascot combination of Hangzhou Asian Games was officially named "Jiang Nanyi", which was inspired by the natural features and cultural characteristics of Hangzhou. Among them, the mascot "Cong" represents the long history and splendid culture of Liangzhu ancient city site, and also conveys the meaning of honesty, solemnity and stability.
"Lotus" represents the beautiful scenery of the West Lake and the ecological and environmental protection concept of Hangzhou, symbolizing purity, harmony and agility. Finally, "Chen Chen" is taken from a famous historical figure in Hangzhou, the Queen of Silkworm Flowers. She symbolizes the prosperity and development of the Silk Road and the silk industry in Hangzhou, and also expresses her good wishes of diligence, enterprising and innovation.
In the creative process of Congcong, the design team drew inspiration from Liangzhu culture and combined the elements of Congcong, which represents this culture, with modern technology to create an image with both historical background and modernity. Congcong's color matching also draws lessons from the iconic color of Liangzhu culture-celadon green, which better shows the history and culture of Liangzhu ancient city.
The design of Lotus Lotus is inspired by the lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the West Lake. She showed the beauty and ecological concept of the West Lake with a fresh, natural and vivid image. At the same time, her color scheme also draws lessons from the color of the West Lake, with green as the main tone and white and dark blue collocation, which is more fresh and natural.
Chen Chen, on the other hand, takes the silkworm queen as the prototype and combines traditional elements with modern technology to create an image with both traditional cultural charm and modern feeling. Chen Chen's color scheme is based on gradual change, from light blue to dark blue, which symbolizes the continuous extension of the Silk Road and the prosperity and development of Hangzhou's silk industry.
The combination of these three lovely mascots not only represents the natural scenery and cultural characteristics of Hangzhou, but also represents the good wishes and enthusiasm of Hangzhou people for the Asian Games. They will greet friends from all over the world with happiness, enthusiasm and self-confidence and witness the success and glory of the Asian Games.
