Auspicious patterns have always been one of the fundamental elements of decoration in ancient Chinese culture. The 2025 Spring Festival Gala logo echoes the "ruyi" symbol, a prominent and auspicious object in Chinese culture, often associated with good fortune, power and authority. Formed by two mirrored "Si" characters, the pattern can be endlessly repeated to represent eternal harmony and renewal.

Originally crafted as a practical tool, possibly used as a backscratcher, the ruyi evolved into a stylized symbol of auspiciousness, becoming a ceremonial scepter and a prized object of art in the imperial courts. Its elegant curves and flowing lines have inspired a range of artistic forms, from textiles to ceramics and even iconic structures.
