Rongbao's design concept
Chengdu 3 1 Rongbao, the mascot of the Summer Universiade, takes the giant panda sesame as the prototype and holds the Universiade torch with the words "3 1" written on it. Rongbao's ears, eyes and tail are also in the form of flames. Known as a "national treasure", panda is a distinctive symbol of Chengdu's foreign exchange and a well-known personal business card of the land of abundance. Rongbao's facial makeup conception refers to the facial makeup style of Sichuan Opera, a traditional artistic treasure, which is another innovative embodiment of Sichuan Opera, a Chinese intangible cultural heritage.
The combination of naive panda image and passionate flame element highlights the important label of "fire" in Tianfu culture: it is the driving force for the boiling of hot pot food and rises to the "Chengdu taste" of spicy and delicious; It is the crowning touch of Sichuan Opera's stunt of spitting fire.
