Let's talk about congcong first. Its name comes from Jade Cong, a representative cultural relic unearthed from the site of Liangzhu ancient city. At that time, this treasure was excavated and caused a sensation all over the world. Exquisitely decorated jade cong represents eternal charm. Congcong represents the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization and deserves the pride of Chinese people. And its whole body is mainly yellow, which means it is fearless, beyond itself and full of passion.
Let's look at the lotus again. The name of the lotus comes from the endless blue lotus leaf in the West Lake. Lotus leaf is loved by people for its pure, noble and peaceful appearance. There are many poems about lotus flowers in Hangzhou. Lotus represents purity, kindness, liveliness, loveliness and hospitality, showing the open humanistic spirit and conveying the expectation of building a community of human destiny.
Finally, chenchen, whose name comes from the landmark Chen Gong Bridge in Hangzhou section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, has a history of more than 400 years. Chenchen came from the Grand Canal, swam to Qiantang River and swam to the world, showing everyone that she was brave, smart, optimistic and enterprising, and built a spiritual bridge for people in Asia and the world.
