[Edit this paragraph] Eleventh National Games Emblem

The emblem release ceremony of the Eleventh National Games was held in Jinan on the evening of November 18, 2008. The "Harmonious China, Vibrant Shandong" pattern jointly created by Sun Dagang, associate professor of Shandong University of Arts and Crafts, and others was finally selected as the emblem of the 11th National Games.

The emblem of the 11th National Games is named after "Harmonious China, Vibrant Shandong" and uses 11 "athletic figures" as its main elements. The creativity of the overall structure comes from the traditional Chinese character "华" in small seal script of ancient China, which represents that this Games is a sports event for all Chinese people; the modeling language draws on the techniques of the traditional Chinese auspicious ornaments "Four Happy People", ** *Using human figures, the combination of 11 sports figures is cleverly completed, which not only highlights the "11th" National Games but also has auspicious and beautiful symbolic meanings; the overall graphic creativity of the emblem also incorporates the traditional Chinese pattern "Concentric Knot" The concept means that this National Games will be a sports event of "unity, harmony and perfection".

According to experts, the emblem design cleverly incorporates characteristic elements with the traditional characteristics of Shandong culture. The geometric elements in the emblem are derived from the "geometric interlocking thunder patterns" on the "strange turquoise copper beans" unearthed in Jinan, Shandong Province during the Warring States Period and the regular patterns on the "regular-patterned bronze mirrors" from the Western Han Dynasty. They have profound cultural connotations; the emblem was chosen The colors are based on the colors in Shandong's traditional woodblock New Year pictures, which contain the spiritual temperament of Shandong's traditional folk culture. The five colors of "red, yellow, blue, green and black" also represent the colors of the Olympic rings; at the same time, the emblem The expression technique is relaxed, lively and modern, which not only reflects the profound cultural heritage of Qilu, but also shows the dynamic and vigorous new image of modern Shandong.

The emblem of the 11th National Games was generated through an open solicitation from the public. During the collection period, we received 3,040 submissions from all over the country. The 11th National Games will be held in Shandong in October 2009.

[Edit this paragraph] The Eleventh National Games mascot "Taishan Boy"

Source of the idea:

The mascot "Taishan Boy" is full of cultural and natural connotations It is based on the moving and legendary Mount Tai, and combined with the concept of modern sports and the auspicious meaning of peace and prosperity for the country and the people. Mount Tai is located in Shandong, with the sea to the east and the Yellow River to the west. It condenses the essence of Eastern culture, is the root of the nation, the root of life, and is a beautiful spiritual symbol of the unity of nature and man, and social harmony. "Climb Mount Tai and embrace the small mountains" not only embodies the sports spirit of perseverance and striving for the first place, but also shows the broad mind of climbing high, looking far and looking forward to the future. Thousands of years of cultural spirit penetration and modern civilization rendering have given "the first of the five mountains" a richer positive connotation.

The history of Mount Tai is written in stone. Legend has it that there was a young stonemason at the foot of the majestic Mount Tai. He was physically strong, skilled in martial arts, and acted chivalrously. He protected the people and became the patron saint in people's minds. He carved it on the stone of Mount Tai and named it "Shi Gandang" as a town stone. The treasure of the house, I pray for peace and good fortune. This unique custom continues to this day and has spread to all over the country and even the world, becoming the representative auspicious belief of the Chinese nation. This folk custom was approved by the State Council to be included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.

Design explanation:

The main image of the mascot "Taishan Boy" uses Taishan stone as its core expression. Stone is known as the "soul of life" and means "health and longevity". Especially the design of the 2008 Olympic medals has pushed China's stone culture to a new climax.

Combined with moving legends, through time and space transformation and visual transition, a cartoon image full of vigor, lively, heroic and energetic is formed, giving the anthropomorphic Taishan stone a richer auspicious meaning, which is a historical symbol. The exchange with natural culture and contemporary visual art expresses people's longing for the future, and also expresses the hospitable Qilu people in a unique auspicious form, praising the unprecedented grand occasion of the 11th National Games and inspiring the fighting spirit of the Chinese people. Full of good wishes for harmony and completeness, improvement and development.

The design of "Taishan Boy" integrates traditional and modern elements, auspicious patterns and facial features are cleverly interspersed, and stones and limbs are flexibly combined. It has both an overall summary and details; it not only conveys the connotation of traditional culture , and emphasized the modern spiritual outlook. The shape is unique, concise and elegant, lively and cute, and positive. It provides a broad space for the promotion, development and application of mascots. It is the most intuitive artistic extension of the concept of "Harmonious China, National Movement for All". At the same time, designing based on stones is also an innovation in mascot creation. At first, we designed the boy’s open hand to wave to everyone, and then changed it to two fingers making a V shape to express victory. Finally, we settled on the current thumbs up gesture, which means that the National Games will be held. Become the best National Games. There was also controversy over the name of the mascot. I thought of 'Shi Gandang', 'Taishan Baby', and 'Taishan Boy', but later it was changed to 'Taishan Boy'
