祝融
Zhurong
同样在4月24日,在江苏南京举行的2021年中国航天日启动暨中国航天大会开幕仪式上,国家航天局正式公布我国首辆火星车命名为“祝融”,全称“祝融号”。
Zhurong is the god of fire in ancient Chinese mythology. Literally, Zhu (meaning wish) expresses the good wishes for humankind's exploration of the universe. Rong (meaning integration and cooperation) reflects China's vision of the peaceful use of space and the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.
祝融是中国上古神话中的火神。“祝”,表达了对人类踏进星辰大海的美好祝愿,“融”,体现融合、协作,表达中国人和平利用太空、增进人类福祉的格局和愿景。
