Originality comes from urban legends
The creativity of the mascot of Guangzhou Asian Games comes from the urban legend of Guangzhou. According to legend, a long time ago, Guangzhou suffered from famine for years and the people were in dire straits. One day, there were five immortals in the sky riding five fairy sheep with ears of rice to Guangzhou. The immortal gave the ear of rice to the people of Guangzhou, wishing that there would never be a famine here, and five fairy sheep turned to stone and stayed in Guangzhou. Since then, Guangzhou has become the richest place in Lingnan. Thousands of years ago, the legend of "Wuyang holding the valley" made "Wuyang" the most famous symbol in Guangzhou.
The story of five fairy sheep inspired countless experts and designers to set the mascot as five. From a cultural point of view, in some western countries, the number "5" has extraordinary and perfect significance. In the traditional culture of China, the number "5" is also widely used, such as the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements.
In ancient China characters, "sheep" means "auspicious", and "auspicious" can also be written as "auspicious sheep"; China's traditional aesthetic concept is that "sheep is big" means "beauty". In the traditional culture of many Asian countries, "sheep" is also an auspicious thing, which can bring good luck to people. Therefore, the mascot of Guangzhou Asian Games is "sheep", which is accepted and loved by people of different cultures and religions in Asia. In addition, "5" is also the number of the Olympic rings, which is also the largest number of mascots in previous Asian Games.
The name of the mascot is exquisite.
Mascot is an important symbol of every sports meeting. For Guangzhou, the host city, the mascot is an important carrier of the image brand of the Asian Games. The birth of the mascot Le Yangyang is another milestone in the preparations for the Guangzhou Asian Games, which has a positive and far-reaching impact on spreading the image of the Guangzhou Asian Games and promoting the preparations for the Asian Games.
It is of great significance to determine how to name five sheep as mascots. The name of the mascot not only fully expresses the good wishes of "peace, prosperity, well-being, becoming a mascot-making the sheep happy" of the Guangzhou Asian Games, but also conveys the concept of "harmony and passion" of the Asian Games.
Demystifying the creative team
Four students in Guang Mei create happiness.
Among the seven designers of the mascot Le Yangyang, four are students of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, among whom are graduate students in the Department of Digital Art and Design of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, and the other three-Liang, Li and Lin Zhenjun are fourth-grade students in the Department of Digital Art of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. The other three are instructors.

This team is rich in personnel structure, perfect in knowledge structure and artistic style, and reasonable in age structure and gender structure. On June 6th, 2008, the 65438 creative team entered the "secret base", and the Guangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee organized them to carry out the closed work. The closure work is very strict. During the creative period, any communication tools, such as mobile phones, must be turned over for safekeeping, and members of the creative team can hardly contact their families. After more than three months of closed and concentrated creation, the mascot of 16 Asian Games was finally born in Guangzhou on April 28th, 2008.
Chen Xiaoqing, director and professor of digital design art department of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, said that the release of mascots is inseparable from the bold and rich creativity of the post-80s generation. "Li and his two classmates are young people born after 1980s. They participated in the first two national animation design competitions and won many awards. These young people are fashionable, energetic and innovative. Professor Chen Xiaoqing said: "The final release of Leyangyang is inseparable from the bold and rich creativity of young people."

Creativity and Interpretation of Sports Icons in Guangzhou Asian Games
The jumping flame is smart and elegant, showing the power of life. The creative inspiration for the sports icon of Guangzhou Asian Games comes from the Asian Games flame. The logo design outlines the basic outlines of 56 sports events with soft and smooth lines, just like 56 "Firemen" with strong bodies, showing distinctive sports characteristics and elegant sports beauty. "Burning man" symbolizes that athletes are like a group of flaming flames, burning passion and dreams of life, breaking through many obstacles and challenging the limits of sports on the big stage of the Asian Games. Sports icon design continues the concept of the flame, which is in contrast with the emblem of the Asian Games, "Wuyang Flame".
