Donning Qing Dynasty costumes, the designs for Zhuangzhuang and Meimei originate from the traditional Chinese symbols of the dragon and the phoenix.
The names of the mascots also bear special meaning.
"Zhuang," which means strong in Mandarin, represents the gorgeous Forbidden City. "Mei", the word for beauty, stands for more than 1.8 million treasures collected within its walls.
Sadly, the mascots did not receive unanimous applause, with some netizens saying Meimei looked more like a penguin than a phoenix.
身着清朝服饰的“壮壮”和“美美”设计灵感来源于中国传统的龙和凤。
而这两款吉祥物的名字也有着特殊意义。
“壮”在汉语中意为强壮,代表着宏伟的紫禁城。而“美”则是美丽之意,代表故宫收藏的价值180多万件珍品。
遗憾的是,这对吉祥物并没有得到一致认可,甚至有网友吐槽“美美”更像一只企鹅而非凤凰。
