Beijing Winter Olympic Medals Appreciation

What is the medal material of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics?

The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics medal, named "Concentric", consists of a circle and a center, and the diameter of the medal is 8.7 cm. The material of the medal is gold inlaid jade, which means "gold and jade good luck" in Chinese traditional culture.

The ring is concave, and the design inspiration comes from the traditional string pattern jade bi, which has shallow carvings from traditional Chinese patterns. The ice and snow pattern represents the Winter Olympics, and the auspicious cloud pattern conveys the meaning of auspiciousness and beauty. The body of the card is composed of a circle and a center. The image comes from the ancient Chinese concentric jade bi. There are five rings in total. The five rings are concentric, and the concentric circles return to the circle. The elegant "Chinese" details give the medal a more three-dimensional texture. The ring on the back of the medal is engraved with 24 dots and movement arcs, which are inspired by ancient astronomical maps. The shape of the concentric round jade bi on the front of the medal and the starry sky image on the back all reflect the highest level of praise in China, the spirit of mankind's continuous exploration of the future, and the humanistic feelings of the integration of the East and the West, the coexistence of all things, and the building of a community of shared future for mankind.
