In an old building in Yaoyang Village, Guanyang Town, fuding city, a complete birthday account book preserved during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty hangs in the main hall. Recently, this centennial birthday account was found to be embroidered with patterns similar to the Olympic rings, which is amazing.
This picture of the birthday screen is about 4.5 meters long and 3 meters wide. It is made of linen and satin. All kinds of patterns and characters on embroidery are embroidered with gold thread. Embroidered figures, flowers, animals and mascots are lifelike and exquisitely handmade. The author picked up the wedding "frame" covering Shouzhang, and saw that the outer lace of Shouzhang was embroidered with the "five rings" pattern, which was very similar to the Olympic rings logo pattern and surrounded by auspicious clouds, which was very strange.
According to Mr. Sun, the owner and villager of Shouzhang, according to the words on Shouzhang, the year of Shouzhang's screen account was four years in Qingganlong and four years in your company (AD 1773), which has a history of 240 years. Mr. Sun said that every festive day such as ancestor worship and marriage. The village will take out the birthday account and hang it up. As for the "five rings" embroidered on the birthday account, he also discovered it only recently.
It is understood that the Olympic logo was first designed according to Coubertin's proposal in 19 13. The five rings connected together symbolize the unity of the five continents, and symbolize that athletes from all over the world will meet and get together in the Olympic Games in a fair and honest competition and friendly spirit. The "five rings" in Shouzhang appeared more than a century earlier than Coubertin's design time. As for its meaning and allusions, it needs further research by experts.
