There are many ways to enjoy the Olympic Games, one of which is "badge collection". People who have participated in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games must remember that one thing athletes, staff, media reporters and volunteers are keen to do is exchange badges. A small badge is not only a proof of participating in the Olympic Games, but also a small window for exchanging the Olympic spirit and world culture.

    The Olympic emblem originated in Athens, Greece. It was originally a round card used to distinguish the identity of athletes, officials and news media. Some contestants pass on their good wishes to each other by exchanging the round cards they wear. Therefore, the custom of exchanging Olympic badges came into being.

    Tian Yuhong, director of 2022 Beijing Information Center, introduced that Beijing is the first "double Olympic city" in the history of the Olympic Games. Many media friends have not only reported on the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, but also participated in the coverage of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games. Therefore, they have special needs in exchanging badges and preserving badges. In order to meet everyone's wishes, the press center has set up a space-time exchange station for Olympic badges on the first floor, which is convenient for journalists to exchange and exchange badges here. "I hope these badges can leave a good memory for you. At the same time, we can feel the charm of the double Olympic City in the process of badge exchange."

    "Many badge collectors' fate with the Olympics is related to 'hosting the Olympics at home'." According to the volunteers of the badge exchange station, since the 1988 Winter Olympic Games, "Olympic medal exchange" has become a traditional project of the host city of each Olympic Games and an integral part of the Olympic culture. The Olympic Games have formed a "pin" (badge) culture. Various sports delegations, media institutions, sponsors and cultural groups have launched commemorative badges with their own logo and five ring logo, which are pinned on their own employee's certificate hanging belt, hat or clothes. In the Olympic Village, MPC, competition venues and even shuttle buses, people from different countries, colors and languages can exchange their own badges when they see that each other's "pin" is their favorite. In this way, we not only exchange a memorial, but also exchange a friendship.

    The reporter observed that in the badge exhibition area, the characteristic badge of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games has become the focus of attention. For example, the "central axis countdown" series of badges perfectly combine the Beijing central axis World Heritage application point with the countdown process of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games; "Chinese traditional festivals" series of badges are drawn with the unique customs, diet and popular folk stories of different festivals as the creative main line, which is very popular with foreigners.

    The Olympic badge space-time exchange station displays the "countdown commemorative badge of Beijing Winter Olympic Games".

    It is worth mentioning that the "Beijing Winter Olympics countdown commemorative badge". This set of badges is issued from the 1000 day countdown to the Winter Olympic Games, and then one will be issued at each important time node.

    The reporter learned that the 2008 Olympic Games came to China for the first time. The badge exchange, a fresh Olympic cultural activity, brightened the eyes of many Chinese people. During the Beijing Olympic Games, there are special badge exchange places in Wangfujing, Chaoyang Park, world trade Tianjie and Beijing Olympic Park. The Beijing Olympic Games has cultivated a large number of "medal friends". After the Olympic Games, the "medal friends" at home and abroad are far from each other, but the exchange of badges has not ended. One badge after another in the square inch, records the precious Olympic history, highlights the rich and colorful cultures of various countries, accommodates scenic spots and historic sites around the world, and conveys the sincere friendship of the people of the world.

    "Small badge, big culture". Outside the Beijing Olympic Games, badge lovers from all over the world are harvesting their own "medals".
