Five thousand years ago, a wise man named Cang Jie, a figure from ancient Chinese legends, created the Chinese characters that have since kept the splendid Chinese culture alive and flourishing for thousands of years. This great act of creation moved the heavens so much that numerous grains rained down over the land of China, hence a solar term called “Gu Yu” (literally meaning grain rain), one of the twenty four solar terms of the Chinese lunar calendar. In the 21st century, the day of “Gu Yu” has been designated to be the international “Chinese Language Day” which is increasingly coming to be seen as a cultural brand that showcases the beauty and charm of the Chinese language and cultural diversity. To make this brand even more appealing, we are calling for entries of logo design for the International Chinese Language Day from artists and design professionals as well as those who appreciate Chinese culture from all over the world. We would like to invite you to share your stories and experiences of the Chinese language with your artistic expression.
