Beijing Olympic Torch
The theme of the relay is "Journey of Harmony".
The theme embodies the
Olympic ideal of 'placing sport at the service of the harmonious development of
man, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation
of human dignity'. 'Harmony' boasts strong Chinese characteristics, and
expresses the traditional Chinese philosophy in pursuit of a balance between man
and nature, among people and between man's body and soul. It also supports
Chinese people's wish of building a harmonious society of enduring peace and
common prosperity.
