Hello, I believe that the recent events, the Tokyo Olympics must be extremely concerned about one, watching Chinese sportsmen and women on the field of play to win, inevitably let us feel excited. As a lumberjack, what can we see in the Olympics? Today let Defulin take you to understand the wood elements in the Tokyo Olympics!

When it comes to wood elements, I believe the wooden five rings at the opening ceremony must have left a deep impression on everyone. At that time, countless lanterns were lit up in unison, forming an ocean of lights in the venue. In the ocean, a "boat" carrying three groups of 4-meter diameter wooden rings slowly drifted to the middle of the stage, both sides of the rope traction, so that the three groups of wooden rings slowly stretched into the shape of the Olympic rings, in the molding of the moment, the five-ringed pattern of the fireworks bloomed in the sky, the sky and the ground of the five rings reflect each other, and very romantic.

In fact, the wood used to make the rings dates back 64 years, to 1964, when Tokyo hosted the first Olympic Games. In 1964, Tokyo hosted the first Olympic Games, and athletes from all over the world brought seeds of trees unique to their hometowns. These seeds were sown in different parts of Japan according to their growth habits, and have flourished over the past 64 years. The materials used to make the five rings were pine and cedar trees that grew in Hokkaido and were brought by athletes from Canada and Ireland. It can be seen that this Tokyo Olympics, is Japan's own wood culture display, but also a wood culture trend to promote. I believe there will be more and more people like wood culture, love wood culture.
