What Does the Willow Twig at the Olympics Closing Ceremony Symbolize?
“折柳寄情”,外媒科普這份中國浪漫,網(wǎng)友驚嘆太美了!
The performers beautifully interacted with a LED floor to show imagery of the willow, one that showed the emotional symbolism of “a bittersweet goodbye.”
演員與地面上的屏幕影像完美互動,展現(xiàn)虛擬的柳枝,表現(xiàn)出了“苦澀又甜蜜的離別”的情感寄托。
The theme of "one world, one family" continued to be evident through the Games as 365 different individuals all held a willow branch that represented "the unwavering spirit of remembering the departed through the 365 days of a year."
365名普通人手捧柳枝,匯聚在場地中央,代表一年365天的思念,將“世界大同,天下一家”的主題表現(xiàn)得淋漓盡致。
The stage then turned into a beautiful shade of green, which was a symbol of the shifting of past negativity into the blossoming of a new day.
舞臺隨后變化成一片唯美的綠地,轉(zhuǎn)而大地回春,一片生機盎然。
The willow twig is a part of the willow tree, and in Chinese, the character for the willow tree is a homophone of the character liu, which means asking a person to stay when bidding farewell. Thus it symbolizes the sorrow of separation.
柳枝是柳樹的枝條。在漢語中,“柳”與“留”同音,蘊含著在離別時刻挽留對方的含義。因此,“柳枝”就成了“悲傷的離別”的象征。
In ancient days, when two friends part, the traveling party will always receive a willow twig as a gift.
在中國古代,朋友分離之時,遠(yuǎn)走的一方常常會被贈予柳條作為離別禮物。
