When people hold the Olympic Games, they always make an emblem (会徽). The emblem of the Athens Olympic Games in 2004 is a white circle of olive branches in the sky.
“ Athens is developing a spirit of peace.”An officer said, “While in Athens, the world should be at peace. We hope the peace is not just for a short time. We would like the message from the Athens Games to help countries come together and solve their problems.”
Four years later, in 2008 the Olympic Games was held in Beijing ,China. And China had already made a seal (印章) as the emblem of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The emblem had a single Chinese character on a red seal and means "Chinese Seal、Dancing Beijing(中国印.舞动的北京)”. Below it, there were the words "Beijing 2008". The character in the emblem was "Jing". It meant "capital'' of China and it was also like a runner or a dancer. The running figure(人形) on the emblem showed the spirit of the Olympics--faster, higher and stronger.
