Facts: |
● Many consider Chinese seal as "the best of Chinese arts."Carved within a limited space on the end of a small stone, a Chinese seal blends the elements of engraving, calligraphy, painting and poetry. Today, the "artwork" and the ritual to print it is turned into an expression of a solemn commitment: the logo of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, as it was unveiled on 3 August 2003 at Beijing's Temple of Heaven.It's called "Chinese Seal -- Dancing Beijing.''
● The designing schemes, field-clearing and old building demolishment for the important venues have finished so far and the relevant urban infrastructure work in the central area of the Olympic Green has been initiated. |
