  Gold and jade, signifying honor and virtue in Chinese culture, have been

  unveiled as the two key elements in the 2008 Beijing Olympic medal designs.

  The winning designs were unveiled at the Capital Museum in Beijing on Tuesday. The medals will show the Beijing Olympic logo, the Olympic rings and “Beijing 2008” in a center circle. This is surrounded by a ring of jade with a

  gold-plated ring on the outsides. The gold, silver and bronze medals will carry the same design with a finer white jade on the gold, a slightly darker shade on the silver and a green jade on the bronze medal. Officials said 265 design proposals were received from China and worldwide with a nine-member panel picking the winner.

  Medal designer Wang Yipin says jade plays a very important role in Chinese culture, especially as a prize to award. Jade is the highest award to people in Chinese culture. Medals are the most important prize in Olympics and the coming Olympics is to be held in China, so medals with jade is the perfect combination to present the Olympics in Beijing.

  China celebrated the 500-day countdown to the Beijing Games on Monday. Meanwhile, construction work is

  at an advanced stage at 37 Olympic venues, 31 of which are in Beijing, including the National Stadium.
