The word "Medal" custom is derived from the English word "medal", meaning a metal object used for recognition and award. It is usually made of gold, silver, copper and other textures, has a specific shape and pattern, and can be worn on clothing or hung on the wall as a symbol of honor. The use of the word "medal" in Chinese dates back to the early 20th century, when it was first introduced from Japanese. In Japanese, "medal" is called "メダル" (medaru), also derived from the English "Gold Medal". With the passage of time, "medal" has gradually become a common word in Chinese for recognition and reward. Nowadays, in many competitions, we also use Sports Medal or MEDALS as a commemorative gift.
