The Beijing Winter Olympic flame lantern was inspired by a bronze lamp “the Changxin Palace Lantern” dating to the Western Han Dynasty (206BC-AD24). The original Changxin Palace Lantern has been called "China's first light." The designers were inspired by the cultural meaning of the Lantern since "Changxin" means "determined belief" in Chinese.

The Olympic flame lantern is in a passionate and encouraging "Chinese red" color, representing the Olympic passion.
