The origin and history of the symbol of the Forbidden City ~
"The logo design of the courtyard emblem adopts the shape of a' palace'. One point of the word "Gong" is based on the graphic elements of "sea water and teeth" and "jade". The two' mouths' of the' Palace' are just in line with the architectural concept of the Forbidden City's' front facing and rear sleeping'; The word' palace' is not sealed, which means that the palace was closed in the past, but today the Palace Museum is open. "

"Jade is supported by the sea water above the shape, which means precious as an arch, symbolizing that the Palace Museum owns and properly preserves more than 6,543,800 precious cultural relics; The rectangle in shape best conforms to the pattern of the Forbidden City and forms a' circle' with jade; The colors are based on the typical colors of the Forbidden City-gold, yellow, red and blue. In addition, the Palace Museum is a museum built on the basis of the palaces of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Highlighting this oriental personality can make the logo unique among many museums at home and abroad. "
