In the opening ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics on the evening of the 23rd, the first suspense has been revealed. In the traditional Olympic Five Rings exhibition, five giant wooden rings appeared in the center of the stage.
Under the guidance of many paper lanterns, a huge wooden ring was placed on the platform and carried into the venue. As the ropes were pulled, the rings began to form the symbols of the five Olympic rings. When the formation of the five-ring symbol is completed, the five-color fireworks bloom. When the five-color fireworks first rise, their colors are the same as the orange light emitted by the paper lanterns, and then gradually become the five colors of the Olympic rings (white fireworks will replace the black in the Olympic rings).
Each of the five Olympic rings has a diameter of 4 meters. The wooden structure of the Olympic rings adopts the style of traditional Japanese "parquet" craftsmanship. Random colors are formed by the natural mottled feeling of wood.
When the 18th Summer Olympics was held in Tokyo in 1964, athletes brought tree species from all over the world. Today, 57 years later, the big trees grown from these seeds have been used to build multiple venues for the Tokyo Olympics, as well as the Olympic rings. The two Tokyo Olympics are linked together.
