Peking University, February 14, 2022: As the mascots of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, Bing Dwen Dwen and Shuey Rhon Rhon are loved by a large number of people from all over the world for their adorable and charming images. While the snow fell on the campus of Peking University, Bing Dwen Dwen and Shuey Rhon Rho were even prettier and livelier under the snowy sky. Take a look at the precious images of Bing Dwen Dwen and Shuey Rhon Rhon with the snowflakes captured by PKU students.



Bing Dwen Dwen is the main Olympic mascot. Shuey Rhon Rhon is the Paralympic mascot.


Bing Dwen Dwen is a giant panda with a suit of ice, a heart of gold, and a love of winter sports. "Bing" means ice and embodies purity and strength, the characteristics of the Winter Olympics. "Dwen Dwen", which means health, liveliness, and cuteness, conforms to the overall image of pandas and symbolizes the strength, tenacity, and inspiring Olympic spirit of Winter Olympic athletes. The colorful ring around Bing Dwen Dwen's face is inspired by the "ice ribbon" of the National Speed Skating Oval in Beijing.


Bing Dwen Dwen's full-body "shell", which helps the panda to skate, snowboard, and ski alongside the Olympic athletes, is a tribute to embracing new technologies for a future with infinite possibilities, the bright colors of the halo around its face are a representation of the latest advanced technologies of the ice and snow sport tracks at the Games, while the heart on its left palm symbolizes China's hospitality for athletes and spectators at the Winter Olympics.


Shuey Rhon Rhon is an anthropomorphic Chinese lantern. Lanterns represent harvest, celebration, warmth, and light. The wishful shape at the top symbolizes auspicious happiness. The continuous pattern of the dove of peace and the Temple of Heaven symbolize peaceful friendship and highlight the characteristics of the place where the events are held. The decorative pattern incorporates traditional Chinese paper-cutting art. The snow on the face represents the meaning of "a fall of seasonable snow gives promise of a fruitful year" (瑞雪兆丰年). It also reflects the anthropomorphic design and highlights the mascot's cuteness.
