SPIRIT
"Dancing Beijing" extends the totem of the Chinese nation. The form of a running human being stands for the beauty and magnificence of life. Its graceful curves are like the body of a wriggling dragon, relating the past and future of one same civilization; they are like rivers, carrying the century-old history and the nations pride; they are like veins, pulsing with the vitality of life.
The intrinsic values of sports - athlete-centered and people-oriented - are well defined and upgraded in an artistic way in "the dance of Beijing." We sing if words fail to explain it all, and we dance if the singing does not explicitly tell the meaning.
Vigorous Beijing is looking forward to the celebration in and the Olympics wait all mankind to dance together.

在它的舞动中，“以运动员为中心”和“以人为本”的体育内涵被艺术地解析和升 华。言之不足，歌之；歌之不足，舞之蹈之。
活力的北京期待着的狂欢，奥林匹克期待着全人类与之共舞。
