The Official Mascots of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games
Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration, Fuwa will
serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of
friendship and peace -- and good wishes from China -- to children all over the world.
Designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form an intimate
circle of friends, Fuwa also embody the natural characteristics of four of China's most
popular animals -- the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow -- and the Olympic
Flame.
Each of Fuwa has a rhyming two-syllable name -- a traditional way of expressing affection
for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic
Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow.
When you put their names together -- Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni -- they say "Welcome to Beijing,"
offering a warm invitation that reflects the mission of Fuwa as young ambassadors for the
Olympic Games.
Fuwa also embody both the landscape and the dreams and aspirations of people from every part
of the vast country of China. In their origins and their headpieces, you can see the five
elements of nature -- the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky -- all stylistically rendered in
ways that represent the deep traditional influences of Chinese folk art and ornamentation.
Spreading Traditional Chinese Good Wishes Wherever They Go
In the ancient culture of China, there is a grand tradition of spreading good wishes through
signs and symbols. Each of Fuwa symbolizes a different blessing -- and will honor this
tradition by carrying their good wishes to the children of the world. Prosperity, happiness,
passion, health and good luck will be spread to every continent as Fuwa carry their
invitation to Beijing 2008 to every part of the globe.
At the heart of their mission -- and through all of their work -- Fuwa will seek to unite
the world in peace and friendship through the Olympic spirit. Dedicated to helping Beijing
2008 spread its theme of One World, One Dream to every continent, Fuwa reflect the deep
desire of the Chinese people to reach out to the world in friendship through the Games --
and to invite every man, woman and child to take part in the great celebration of human
solidarity that China will host in the light of the flame in 2008.
In China's traditional culture and art, the fish and water designs are symbols of prosperity
and harvest. And so Beibei carries the blessing of prosperity. A fish is also a symbol of
surplus in Chinese culture, another measure of a good year and a good life.
The ornamental lines of the water-wave designs are taken from well-known Chinese paintings
of the past. Among Fuwa, Beibei is known to be gentle and pure. Strong in water sports, she
