The emblem is built from the two characters “山” (Shan) and “西” (Xi) stacked vertically.
Their strokes radiate outward from the centre, signifying that Shanxi’s first public undergraduate vocational university will send the benefits of its discoveries in every direction, powering the province’s transformation and growth.
Within the lower “西”, a pair of up-lifted hands appears, proclaiming the school’s student-centred philosophy and its hallmark emphasis on hands-on, real-world professional training.
At the very heart soars an eagle with wings spread wide, a promise that teachers and students will dare to break new ground and carve out a shared, soaring future.
The three vertical strokes of the upper “山” stand like three engraving knives thrusting upward, embodying the ceaseless pursuit of perfection and the craftsmanship spirit of scaling ever-higher peaks.
Subtly woven into the design are the structural lines of bridge architecture and the geometric rhythms of an integrated-circuit wafer, instantly signalling the university’s core focus on engineering and technology.
Upright, crisp and streamlined, the whole mark resembles a high-rise rising from bedrock—an echo of the proverb “A tower of ten thousand feet begins with a single clod of earth.”
As Shanxi’s first public undergraduate vocational university, the institution begins a new chapter of history: exploring, climbing, and building fresh summits with every step.
