Behind every symbol, there is a story. This is the story of a country opening its gates to the future. The story of a city reaches out to embrace humanity. The story of a people invites the world to join them, experience their culture, and share their joy. This is Dancing Beijing---the symbol of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Dancing Beijing is a journey to the future, the emblem (象征) for China developing into a modern country. It represents the heart of an ancient culture embracing 2008 Olympic Games, the spirit of a people moving towards a new destiny. It conveys a message of hope, joy and unity.

Dancing Beijing is a symbol of the city’s promise to make the Games a success and to be unlike any the world has known. The Chinese seal of Dancing Beijing is a promise rooted in honor and trust, character and truth.

Dancing Beijing is the city’s image. The ancient art of calligraphy (書法藝術(shù)) expresses the grace and character of the Chinese and the charm and beauty of their traditions. The image of Beijing’s Olympics, inspired by the ancient figure for Beijing, turns the city into a dancing athlete in the graceful sweep of the calligrapher’s hand.

Dancing Beijing is the color of China. Red is the most significant color in Chinese culture: a symbol of luck, of celebration and of new beginnings.

Dancing Beijing represents the spirit of the individual. It is the symbol for every Olympian, every performer, every volunteer and every spectator. Arms extended wide, it invites all people and the world to share in the city’s history, beauty, energy and its future.

Dancing Beijing is in the form of the Chinese dragon, the ancient symbol of Chinese culture that has both power and majesty.
