1On August 28th, 949, when the State Council called experts and scholars from all walks of life to discuss the design of the national emblem,

Gao Zhuang, who participated in the design of the national emblem, said at the meeting: "When shaping the model of the national emblem, I have a wish, that is, to make our national emblem more solemn, clearer, healthier, stronger, more stylized and more unified, to give it a higher national spirit and the spirit of the times, and to make our national emblem artistic quality rise to the international level and shine forever."

In the process of modifying the pattern of the national emblem and shaping the three-dimensional model of the national emblem, Gao Zhuang consulted a lot of materials and bought a Buddha statue and several bronze mirrors of Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties as reference.

In order to make the national emblem more perfect and spectacular, he put the plaster model of the national emblem together with the original plane pattern, so that people could compare comments, listen to opinions and constantly modify it to perfection.

For decades, he has trained a large number of artistic talents with both ability and political integrity for the motherland and made due contributions to arts and crafts education in China.
