Behind the uniform design for Chinese athletes at Tokyo Olympics

Since the appearance of the athletes is a focus of the opening ceremony, an eye-catching color like red is a top choice, especially since it is the primary shade in China's national flag and also symbolizes energy, passion and joy in traditional Chinese culture.
White -- which represents brightness, purity and divinity -- plays a buffering role in the costume design. The combination of red and white at the occasion of the opening ceremony of the Olympics makes an auspicious statement echoing the theme of the design: "making a good start".
