The designs of the Mascots are strongly inspired by the “Legend of the Five Goats”, a famous story about five benevolent celestial beings that descended from the heavens riding on goats with coats of different colors, each holding an ear of rice its mouth. This 1000-old legend has earned Guangzhou its best known nickname of “The City of Goats” or even “The City of Five Goats”
Goats have deep roots in Chinese culture and have had a profound influence on the formation and development of many aspects of it, including writing, cuisine, ethics, etiquettes and aesthetics. In the language of ancient Chinese, the character “羊” yang (goat) is identical to the character “祥” xiang (luck). The Chinese character for beauty, “美” mei, is a combination of the characters “羊”, yang, and “大” da (big), in keeping with the traditional Chinese belief that a “big goat” is “beautiful”.
The goat is also considered an auspicious animal that brings luck, in other Asian cultures. Games’ Organizers said they hope that the design of the Mascots will appeal to, and resonate with, people of different cultures and religions throughout Asia.
