Did you notice that on the back of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games medals there are 24 dots surrounding the Olympic logo in the middle？These dots are not only there to be pleasing to the eyes，but also represent that Beijing 2022 is the 24th Winter Olympics.
The 24 dots sit on two of five concentric circles （同心圓） around the medal.The pattern's design was inspired by a diagram （圖表） used in early astrological charts in China to explore the annual activities of the Sun.
The diagram was first recorded in the book Zhoubi Suanjing （《周髀算經》），or the Zhou Dynasty （1，046 BC—256 BC） Classic of the Gnomon.Written thousands of years ago，the book is one of the oldest Chinese mathematical texts.The 24 dots have a polished gloss finish （拋光面） to help them stand out from the matte （啞光） background just like shining stars stand out from the night sky，which symbolizes the bright unlimited potential of the athletes.
The 24 dots also refer to the 24 Solar Terms used as part of the traditional Chinese calendar，such as the recent Lichun，or the Beginning of Spring，which falls around February 4 every year.These Solar Terms played an important role in helping farmers with their agricultural activities.
Besides the "24 dots"，the design ingenuity of the Olympic medal can also be seen in details such as the ribbons.They are made from traditional Chinese silk and red in colour，which is in line with the cultural characteristics of the Chinese Spring Festival and expresses festive hopes for the athletes as the Beijing Games happened to fall during the Chinese Spring Festival in 2022.
