Meaning of CHP Logo

Our logo is a traditional Chinese latticed window, symbolizing CHP as a window of communication between the general public and cultural protection resources. Through this window, the general public can observe and better understand the current status of Chinese cultural protection efforts, the challenges it faces, as well as solutions for cultural heritage protection.

The logo is comprised of four connected “文 “ (culture) symbols enclosing a circle, which represents our work content as “cultural heritage protection”.

CHP’s logo is in the shape of a square, with four “文” symbols surrounding a circle. This geometric composition represents the “Round Heaven, Square Earth” concept that dates from ancient times. At the same time, the square symbolizes the sturdy principles of cultural heritage protection laws, while the circular shape symbolizes flexible and innovative tactics to preserve cultural heritage.
