There are seven categories of flowers in each bouquet, including: roses symbolizing friendship, roses symbolizing perseverance, lily of the valley symbolizing happiness, hydrangea symbolizing unity, laurel symbolizing victory, osmanthus symbolizing harvest, and olives symbolizing peace. The selection of these flowers is very particular. For example, rose is the protagonist of the award bouquet of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

“As a Double Olympics enterprise, Hengyuanxiang has joined hands with the Olympics for the fifth time. During this process, Hengyuanxiang mainly provided ceremonial clothing for the Chinese sports delegation and other teams. In this Winter Olympics, Hengyuanxiang not only provided clothing and home textiles for the Winter Olympics Village In addition, we also created a unique gift – weaving and making awards bouquets using the intangible cultural heritage skills inherited by Hengyuanxiang. Flowers have always been paired with heroes. We found that the winners stood on the podium, wearing medals on their chests, holding bouquets in their hands, and paying tribute to the heroes. It is their most glorious moment when they salute the national flag and express their gratitude to the audience. But unfortunately, the bouquet is not like a medal, it is not convenient to save. Can this bouquet of glory flowers never wither and become a lasting memorial? We thought of Hengyuan Xiang Inherited intangible cultural heritage – Shanghai-style yarn knitting skills. Chinese people often say that ‘love connects a thread’. We hope that these yarns carrying truth, kindness and beauty can unite people who have been alienated by the impact of the new coronavirus epidemic on five continents. , weaving a good future for the whole world with infinite threads.” Chen Zhongwei, chairman and general manager of Hengyuanxiang Group, explained the original intention of making velvet flower bouquets.

We use Shanghai-style wool knitting techniques that combine Chinese and Western techniques to present the award bouquets, which represents our warm welcome to athletes from five continents. and congratulations, also represent our expectations and wishes for a better future for mankind. In addition, unlike fresh-cut bouquets, which require transporting flowers from southern planting bases, velvet bouquets greatly reduce transportation and management costs, and are also convenient for athletes. Carrying it back to the country and keeping it for a long time will not only reduce carbon emissions, organize the Olympic Games frugally, but also be full of humane arrangements.”
