Two years ago. Bing Dwen Dwen was chosen as the mascot（吉祥物）for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Now the panda has been made into toys and models as well as printed on notebooks and bags.
The design was chosen from 5.816 works from 38 countries and regions（地区）. Cao Xue, the designer of Bing Dwen Dwen, said the idea first came from the traditional Chinese snack bingtanghulu—the sugar coat later turned into an ice shell around Bing Dwen Dwen. However, a simple snack couldn’t stand for a country by itself. Cao’s team tried many animals and plants and finally decided on a panda. “We don’t need to explain anything to have it understood across different cultures.” said Cao. However, there were already too many cartoon images（形象）of pandas. The mascot needed to be original（原创的）and creative. Cao first decided that it should be a baby panda instead of an adult one. So the body of Bing Dwen Dwen is as long as its head.
Cao’s team looked all around the world to collect all the panda designs they could find. They wanted to make sure their panda looked different. They visited the panda research base in Wolong Sichuan to get ideas. They saw that baby pandas are pigeon-toed（内八字）and often lean in（倾斜）while standing.
“If we say artists are like actors who play themselves, designers are actors who have to fit into different roles.” Cao said. “Design is like dancing with chains. I’m glad we performed a good dance.”
