With the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics mascot Bing Dwen Dwen merchandise, a cute panda clad in a spacesuit-like clear shell, flying off the shelves, many Chinese people started to make their own Bing Dwen Dwens, to show their love for the big star of this year's Games. Two siblings in Xinyang city, central China's Henan Province, made a snow Bing Dwen Dwen after heavy snowfall, which became very popular on the internet. A net user in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan, used an orange to create a Bing Dwen Dwen model. Some people also drew Bing Dwen Dwen, or made dough sculptures of Bing Dwen Dwen.

In addition, a 20.22-meter-long calligraphy artwork following the theme of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was created by Ge Chen, an art master, and was displayed in Zhengzhou, Henan on the day that the Beijing Winter Olympics opened. Ge said that the Winter Olympics are not just about sport, but also about art. Ge hopes to spread traditional Chinese culture and show support for the Games through the exhibition.
