Explanation of the Congress Logo
The Congress Logo “Tai” originates and synthesis the two fundamental Chinese concepts, namely “Yin-Yang” and “Tai”. To the Chinese, “Yin-Yang”, the circular symbol, means the dynamic balance and interdependence between two opposing forces within an individual, between an individual and the universe, as well as between the east and the west cultures; while “Tai”, the state of wellbeing, denotes the law of nature where heaven and earth forces meet in harmony, calmness, peacefulness and prosperity from within.
