Woolen bouquets will replace the traditional fresh flowers that are presented to award winners at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, according to a recent announcement by the event organizer. Woolen bouquets will never wither and have the characteristic of low-carbon, which reflects the concept of a “green, inclusive, open and clean Olympics”.

本次北京冬奧會(huì)頒獎(jiǎng)花束的花材共有七類，包括：象征友誼的玫瑰，象征堅(jiān)韌的月季，象征幸福的鈴蘭、象征團(tuán)結(jié)的繡球、象征勝利的月桂、象征收獲的桂花、象征和平的橄欖。而冬殘奧會(huì)頒獎(jiǎng)花束中，在冬奧會(huì)頒獎(jiǎng)花束的基礎(chǔ)上增加了一枝藍(lán)色波斯菊，象征堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。

The Olympic bouquet consists of seven different wool flowers including the rose stands for friendship, the Chinese rose for perseverance, the lily of the valley for happiness, the hydrangea for unity, the laurel for victory, the sweet osmanthus for harvest, and the olive for peace. Of the ribbon of Paralympic Winter Games, a blue coreopsis is added to the bouquets, which symbolizes strength.  

絨線花束一方面不像鮮切花束需要從南方種植基地調(diào)運(yùn)鮮花，大大降低了運(yùn)輸和管理費(fèi)用，另一方面也方便運(yùn)動(dòng)員攜帶返回、長(zhǎng)久保存。每一份頒獎(jiǎng)花束除了“永不凋零”，還是“獨(dú)一無(wú)二”的。

北京冬奧會(huì)和冬殘奧會(huì)頒獎(jiǎng)將使用花束1251束，累計(jì)花材共16731枝。每枝花材上有葉有花，采用融合中外絨線編結(jié)手法的“海派絨線編結(jié)技藝”，均為純手工制作。以一枝玫瑰花為例，編結(jié)一片花瓣需要20分鐘，而整枝玫瑰要由十片花瓣組成，加上三片葉子和花莖，一位編結(jié)師至少要耗費(fèi)五小時(shí)。

北京冬奧組委表示，賽會(huì)期間將開辟專門區(qū)域，采用實(shí)物、視頻等方式展示絨線花束、絨線編結(jié)技藝和它們背后的故事，讓世界各地嘉賓近距離觀賞、了解。
