The red peony rising like the sun draws on one of China’s most deeply rooted cultural symbols. For centuries, the peony (牡丹 mǔdān) — the “king of flowers” — has embodied prosperity, dignity, and moral grace. It represents the harmony between beauty and strength that runs through Chinese idea of art, thought, and governance. As an emblem of flourishing order, it evokes refinement, legitimacy, and the quiet confidence of continuity.

The red and golden tones reinforce this meaning. Red in Chinese tradition signifies vitality, happiness, and auspicious success. Gold or yellow, once reserved for the imperial household, conveys balance, authority, and enlightened centrality. Together they express a vision of harmony anchored in tradition yet open to light and clarity.
Much like the approach our company takes to interpreting and engaging with China: precise, informed, and grounded in cultural understanding.
