9月10日，在杭州亚运会倒计时一周年活动上，杭州亚运会火炬形象正式发布。
 

 

The torch for the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games was named "Eternal Flame" and its design was inspired by the Liangzhu Culture, which was a testament¹ to the 5000-year-old Chinese civilization.

杭州亚运会火炬名为“薪火”，其设计思想源自实证中华五千年文明史的良渚文化。

 

The torch was shaped in a way that "grows" from bottom to top, with an overall height of 730 millimeters and a net weight of 1,200 grams.

火炬造型自下而上“生长”，整体高730毫米，净重1200克。

 

"Eternal Flame" means that the Chinese civilization was passed on from generation to generation. The torch was characterized by Jade² Cong and threaded upon with Chinese heritage, natural sceneries and local customs. The design was intended to shine a more brilliant light on this sacred land of Chinese civilization.

“薪火”，寓意中华文明薪火相传。火炬以玉琮为表征，以人文历史和山川风物为主干，使中华文明圣地闪耀出更加璀璨的光芒。

 

从具体设计上来看，

 

The base of the torch was embossed with eight water veins³ symbolizing⁴ the evolution of civilization and representing the eight major river systems in Zhejiang.

炬基，以八条水脉为文明之脉，代表浙江八大水系。

 

The torch body was designed based on the evolution from dermatoglyphic fingerprint⁵ patterns specific to the Liangzhu Culture, which were naturally intertwined and exquisite⁶.

炬身，以良渚螺旋纹为演化，形似指纹，自然交织，精致细密。

 

The torch head was characterized by the meaning of Jade Cong, one of the ritual jades⁷, showing a harmonious⁸ square-round integration⁹, and the burner nozzle was designed from the earliest oracle¹⁰ bone inscription¹¹ of Jade Cong with the implied meaning of "light traveling in cycle inside".

炬冠，以玉琮语意为特征，方圆相融，昂然而立；出火口设计源自“琮”最早的甲骨文字形，寓意“光在内周而复始”。

 

The raw materials of the torch were digitally mapped to the blockchain, and the traceability mechanism¹² was used to ensure authenticity¹³. The grip of the torch was made of recycled raw materials, which was eco-friendly, light and easy to hold, and the fuel was heated with biomass gas, which was safe, clean and reliable.

火炬原材料通过区块链技术，利用可溯源机制确保真实性。握把采用可回收生物质材料，环保轻盈，便于手持；燃料采用生物质燃气，清洁安全可靠。
