At first, the design was derived from the ice-sugar haws.

Cao Xue, the head of the mascot design team for the 2022 Winter Olympics, said that Bing Dwen Dwen was completed by a design team of 14 people led by him, which took 10 months. All from the School of Visual Art Design of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, half of which are teachers and half of which are graduate students.

According to relevant information, they have tried to come up with 16 sets of plans within 19 days before, without rest, repeatedly revising and discussing every day and night, and drawing more than 10,000 manuscripts.

According to public information, the plan that was favored by the judges was Guangmei Design Team's "Bingtang Hulu", and it was determined to be a key modification plan. It is said that "Bingtanghulu is a snack in the north, and it has the cultural attributes of grounding. The most special thing is the ice shell sugar coating on it, which is closely related to ice and snow sports." "The source of inspiration for the design.

However, because "Bingtang Hulu" is only a local snack, it cannot carry the image of a country. Considering that China's national treasure is "panda", the panda is placed in the center of the interior as the core support. In this way, the "ice shell" panda - Bing Dwen Dwen appeared in the shape of a sugar gourd.

Ice piercing, clean and lovely.

The original source of inspiration came from "elk".

It is said that the idea of ​​"Chinese knots and lanterns" suddenly came into being three days before the deadline. These two elements can better reflect traditional Chinese culture. Therefore, the idea was determined by the judges to focus on deepening the revision.

Shuey Rhon Rhon, the meaning of the name, "Ruixue Zhaofengnian", reflects the character of snow; lanterns give people a warm feeling, in order to reflect tolerance and communication, the words "Rhon" and "Rhon" are used.

Shuey Rhon Rhon's body can radiate light. The luminous attribute means to light up dreams and warm the world. It represents friendship, courage and strength, and reflects the fighting spirit of Winter Paralympic athletes and the Winter Paralympic concept that inspires the world.
