The Ancient Olympic Games
The full name of the Olympic Games is the Olympic Games, and the name "Olympic" is used to refer to the Olympic Games, which are the most popular sport in the world. The word "Olympics" is derived from the Greek name "Olympia". Olympia is located 360 kilometers southwest of Athens in the valley of the river Aphis, where the picturesque scenery and pleasant climate. Ancient Greeks built many temples here, so the ancients called this piece of land the city of Alpheus, also known as the "Holy Land" Olympia, according to the beliefs of the time, it symbolizes peace and friendship.
Ancient Greece and other countries in the Mediterranean region
often held great gatherings during the festivals and harvest seasons, as well as all kinds of fun and games, which were very lively. Initially, this activity was scattered and irregular, but the largest gathering was held in Olympia.
In 884 BC, war broke out in Ancient Greece, and there were continuous wars, plagues and agricultural shortages. Greek civilians are very eager for peace, miss the kind of celebration. Therefore, the king of the city-state of Elis, where Olympia was located, contacted the kings of several other city-states and reached an agreement to hold the Games at Olympia on a regular basis, and stipulated that the "Sacred Truce" would be implemented in the year of the Games. The duration of the "Holy Truce" was three months. During this period, no one was allowed to wage war. Even those who were at war had to lay down their arms and prepare to go to Olympia to participate in the Games. From this time on, there was an all-Greek competition. By 776 B.C., the first written record of the winners was made. This was what is known as the First Ancient Greek Games. After that, the games were held every four years. Therefore, the competition was held in Olympia, and it was also called the Ancient Olympic Games, or the Ancient Olympics for short. From 776 B.C. to 349 A.D., the ancient Olympic Games was abolished by the emperor of the Roman Empire, the ancient Olympic Games a **** held 293 times.
Ancient Olympics not all joy
The ancient Olympics did not mean joy for the average Olympic spectator. A typical Olympic spectator, if traveling from Athens, would have had to trek halfway across the Peloponnese, along a rugged old pilgrims' trail, in the hot Mediterranean summer sun, and on foot or with the help of mule and horse treads, to cover the 300-plus kilometers from Athens to Olympia in two weeks. If from an overseas colony, it took even longer by sea
.
When the exhausted spectators finally arrived at Olympia, the real test had just begun. Olympia's infrastructure is extremely basic, with only one decent hotel, and it is only open to diplomatic missions and officials, so the lesser nobles will have to pitch their own tents. The other 80,000 spectators - nearly half of whom were vendors selling food, drink and souvenirs - had to make themselves comfortable in the wilderness near the Temple of Zeus. As a result, it became a campground of poor sanitation during the Olympics.
Olympia's stadiums had no spectator seating or shade, and because spectators were not allowed to wear hats at the Olympics for religious reasons, people had to stand in the middle of the dusty stadiums in the hot sun from morning to night. Spectators suffered from dehydration and heatstroke because the rivers were cut off in the summer and well water was in short supply. At the time, there was no proper sewage system in Greece, and the dry riverbed became a makeshift toilet for tens of thousands of people, with garbage piled up on the spot and flies everywhere, making the sanitary conditions predictable.
It was under such conditions that the ancient Olympic Games were held continuously for more than a thousand years. It is said that the level of filth at the Olympics was so scandalous that there was a saying - for a disobedient slave, the master would say to him in a threatening tone: If you don't behave, you will be punished by going to Olympia to watch the Olympics!
Olympic Games Anthem
The first modern Summer Olympics opened in Athens on April 6, 1896, and during the opening ceremony, a solemn classical stringed music was played, and in 1958, the International Olympic Committee designated it as the Olympic Games anthem, which was composed by Samaras of Greece, and the lyrics were written by Palamas.

In 1970, the IOC gave a new meaning to the flag in issue 4 of the Olympic Review: it symbolized the unity of the five continents, the athletes' meeting at the Games in a spirit of fairness, frank competition and friendship.
Olympic flame

The main games on the start to finish There was a tall tower with a roaring firework. The flame was ignited by sunlight collected in a spotlight mirror and then transmitted by relay through four countries to the host country, which was the first time such an event was held at the Olympic Games. On July 20, 1936, Olympia for the 11th Summer Olympics held a lighting ceremony and then each person holding a torch ran a 1-kilometer relay through Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and then on August 1, Berlin, covering 3,075 kilometers and participating in the Olympic Games, which was the first time that the Olympic Games had been held.

The outdoor sports in England at that time shook him a lot, and he was determined
To go back to change the indifference of the French to sports, he was more interested in expanding the world's sports exchanges.In 1863, Coubertin proposed to hold a competition similar to the ancient Olympic Games, but instead of copying the ancient Olympic Games, which was limited to the participation of the Greeks in the past, to extend it to a world-wide scale. Although the idea was boycotted by some opponents, but in his tireless efforts, June 16, 1894 finally 20 countries sent representatives at the University of Paris, France, held the first "International Conference on the Reconstruction of the International Olympic Games," the evening of June 23, the committee formally announced the establishment of the International Olympic Committee, the day of the world's sports movement. This day is of epoch-making significance for the development of world sports and for the Olympic Movement. Many countries take this day as a sports holiday, and China also designated this day as Olympic Day in 1986.
History of the modern Olympic Games
The Olympic Games have a history of 1,200 years since they were held in Olympia, Greece, in 776 AD. At that time, the sports were Pentathlon (which consisted of discus, javelin, long jump, race and wrestling), Race, Boxing, Wrestling, Pankration (a mixture of boxing and wrestling), Quadrille Racing and Horseback Riding.
The Olympic renaissance began in 1896, when Athens, Greece, hosted the first modern Olympic Games with 245 athletes from 14 countries. Since then, the number of athletes, countries and events has grown, with more than 10,000 athletes from 199 countries competing at the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia.
Winter sports were first added to the Olympics in 1908 with figure skating. Hockey has been added since 1920. In 1924, the Winter Olympics were held for the first time in Chaminis, France, alone. Since 1994, the Winter Olympics have not been held in the same year as the Summer Olympics, so the Games are now held every two years, alternating between the Winter and Summer Games.
The Olympic Movement has a series of unique and distinctive symbolic symbols, such as the Olympic logo, motto, Olympic flag, anthem, emblem, medals, mascots and so on. These symbols have rich cultural meanings, and they symbolize the value orientation and cultural connotation of the Olympic ideal. Today, with the continuous development and expansion of the Olympic Movement, the Olympic symbols have become a household name throughout the world and are y rooted in people's hearts.
The Olympic Charter stipulates that the property rights of the Olympic Symbol, the Olympic Flag, the Olympic Motto and the Olympic Anthem belong exclusively to the International Olympic Committee. The IOC may take all appropriate measures to obtain legal protection for the Olympic symbol, flag, motto and anthem at the national and international levels. In order to strengthen the protection of Olympic intellectual property rights and Olympic symbols, and to safeguard and protect the legitimate rights and interests of Olympic intellectual property rights holders and Olympic symbols rights holders, China has successively promulgated the Provisions on the Protection of Olympic Intellectual Property Rights in Beijing Municipality (Decree No. 85 of the Beijing Municipal Government of October 11, 2001) and the Regulations on the Protection of the Olympic Symbol (Order of the State Council of the People's *** and the State of China of February 4, 2002) ***State Council Decree No. 345 of February 4, 2002).
The most widely circulated symbols in the world today are the Five Olympic Rings, which have become an image of the Olympic spirit and culture with the development of the Olympic movement, and wherever the Five Rings "turn", the Olympic movement takes root and blossoms.
Talking about the origin of the five rings, there was once such an interesting story. In 1936, the 11th Berlin Olympic Games held the first torch relay activities, the torch relay route from Olympia, from northern Greece out of the country, along the Danube River through Austria, and finally into Germany. To set the stage for this symbolic event, the President of the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games, Karl Dürm, and his colleagues followed almost exactly the ancient style of the torch relay. Diem and his colleagues decorated the ancient Greek sites along the route almost exactly as they would have been for the ancient Olympic Games. When the torch arrived at the ancient stadium on Mount Delphi Panasas to hold a special ceremony, it was Dime's idea to design and carve the five rings of the modern Olympic movement on all sides of a rectangular stone about 3 feet high, placed at one end of the starting line of the ancient stadium. After the ceremony, the torch continued its journey north while the stone, which was used as a prop, was left at the ancient stadium.
Because few people knew the true identity of the stone with the five rings (later called the "Stone of Dim"), it was for a long time treated as a "3,000-year-old relic of the ancient Olympic Games". The falsehood was not pointed out by Greek officials in Delphi until the 1960s, and in May 1972 the fake artifact was sent to another part of Delphi - the entrance to an ancient Roman square.
In fact, the five-ringed symbol of the modern Olympic movement is from the hand of Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics. The idea that the Olympic movement should have its own logo had been on his mind for a long time, and in 1913 he finally conceived of the five rings and the Olympic flag with them on a white background, with the intention of launching it on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the founding of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
June 15-23, 1914, the IOC held a congress at the Sorbonne in Paris, France, while celebrating the 20th anniversary of the founding of the IOC. At the commemorative congress, Coubertin excitedly took out his own design of the five-ringed logo and a flag with the five rings on it to show them to everyone, and suggested that they should be used as the symbols of the Olympic Movement. After listening to the explanation of the five-ringed symbol by Coubertin, the conference determined that the five Olympic rings and the Olympic flag should be used as the Olympic symbol.
The five Olympic rings symbol consists of five Olympic rings snapped together from left to right, either in a single color or in five colors: blue, yellow, black, green and red. The initial interpretation was that the five colors represented the colors of the national flags of each country, and later the five different colored rings were interpreted as symbols of the five continents.
The Olympic flag, 3 meters long and 2 meters wide, has a white background to symbolize purity. The five rings of blue, yellow, black, green and red are interlocked.The Olympic flag was first flown at the Olympic Congress in Paris in 1914.In 1920, the Olympic flag was flown for the first time at the Summer Olympic Stadium in Antwerp. After this Olympic Games, the Belgian Olympic Committee presented the IOC with an identical flag, which was flown during the Olympic Games, and later became customized, and this flag was handed over by the previous host city at the opening ceremony of each Olympic Games, and was kept by the host city, and only a substitute was flown at the main stadium during the games. in 1952, the city of Oslo presented the IOC with the flag of the Winter Olympic Games, and the method of handing over, keeping and using it was the same as that used in the Summer Olympic Games.
In June 1979, the IOC officially announced the meaning of the flag and the five rings: according to the Olympic Charter, the meaning of the Olympic flag and the five rings is: to symbolize the unity of the five continents and the athletes from all over the world meet at the Olympic Games in a spirit of fairness, frank play and friendship.
