Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The product is created to reflect the "Gui" cultural system which echoes the "noble" culture in pattern, shape and colour. The bottle label is designed with the most representative "batik welcoming bird" pattern in Guizhou, which means welcoming guests. The bottle-shaped design is square with circle, which corresponds to the inner spirit of "Gui" culture; the unique product philosophy and quality of the product are fully demonstrated.
- Inspiration
- The Tao Te Ching says: the highest good is like water, for water benefits the ten thousand things without striving. It settles in places that people avoid and so is like the Tao. Under its inspiration, the front of the bottle is shaped square, but from the perspective of the top, squareness and roundness are harmoniously applied with each other. Squareness is the principle of life, or to be firm on the rules; roundness refers to the wisdom of life or to be flexible on issues. In a word, squareness and roundness is like the universe, heaven and earth or life, containing profound philosophy and mystery. A perfect product can only be created if you understand and know the law of all things.
