In addition, Wenjun Bottle, a traditional Chinese stylized ceramic bottle, designed by Professor Bai Ming from the AADTHU, was selected as the iconic and licensed merchandise product, as well as the official souvenir gift for Beijing 2022. The bottle is very "China," and represents Chinese culture, with embossed emblems of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics. The slender bottle body and flowing lines echo the elegant, dexterous and rhythmic momentum and appearances of ice and snow sports, the designer said at a press conference.
