Jingjing makes children smile--and that's why he brings the blessing of
happiness wherever he goes. You can see his joy in the charming naivety of his
dancing pose and the lovely wave of his black and white fur. As a national
treasure and a protected species, pandas are adored by people everywhere. The
lotus designs in Jingjing's headdress, which are inspired by the porcelain
paintings of the Song Dynasty (A.D.960-1234), symbolize the lush forest and the
harmonious relationship between man and nature. Jingjing was chosen to represent
our desire to protect nature's gifts--and to preserve the beauty of nature for
all generations. Jingjing is charmingly na?ve and optimistic. He is an athlete
noted for strength who represents the black Olympic ring.
