1st Shanxi Cultural Industries Fair to kick off on June 29

The 1st Shanxi Cultural Industries Fair, hosted by the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee Publicity Department, will be held in Taiyuan, capital of Shanxi province, from June 29 to July 3, and aims to upgrade Shanxi cultural industries.

The fair, with a theme "A cultured and beautiful Shanxi", will include more than 1,500 standard exhibition booths in 7 exhibition areas, with more than 1,000 companies participating in the event and more than 10,000 kinds of cultural products displayed. The event will feature various activities, such as cultural exhibitions, cultural trading activities and cultural cooperation.

The logo of the 1st Shanxi Cultural Industries Fair is derived from the ancient Chinese character Jin (晉) which is an abbreviation for the name of the province - Shanxi. The logo combines three Chinese characters, the modern form of Jin (晋), and also Wen (文, culture), and Hui (会, fair). Its lower half features the Chinese character meaning “day”: Ri (日). The shape of the logo resembles Shanxi’s early ancient architecture, and the logo combines both modernity and tradition.
