The fish swims freely and joyously; it stirs up the waves of life when jumping out of the ocean.

華語學程的徽標主體是一條在大海中悠游自得的魚，當它躍出水面時，激起了生命的浪花。

The jumping fish serves as the logo of ITCSL because its image signifies multiple Chinese cultural connotations. In ancient Chinese thoughts, the flying eagle and the jumping fish in nature embody the idea of Tao, the highest realm of Chinese culture.

我們取「魚躍」意象以為標識，因其負載了多重的中華文化內涵。在古中國的思想中，鳶飛、魚躍是「道」在大自然中的具象，它們各得其所，自由自在，是中華文化的最高境界。

Meanwhile, the fish eye and blue point in the waves make the logo resemble the Ying-Yang Fish, which is also the symbol of Tao.

魚眼與浪花中的一點，使得標識整體與同為「道」之象徵的「陰陽魚」有異曲同工之妙。

In folklore, when the fish jumps out of the river and leaps over the Dragon Gate, it will transform into a real dragon—the holiest legendary creature in Chinese mythology. Therefore, tradition has it that a diligent student became nationally renowned after succeeding in the Imperial Examination, which symbolizes the transformation of a fish into a dragon.

而在民俗傳說中，當魚奮力躍出水面、跳過「龍門」，它將一變而成「龍」，「龍」是中華文化最神聖的傳說生物。傳統上也用「魚躍龍門」來形容刻苦讀書、通過科舉考試而揚名天下的青年學子。

With the multiple connotations of the jumping fish, ITCSL wishes you to transform into "a dragon" by persevering in your studies. In addition to having fluent Chinese language abilities, you will become a charismatic person instilled with profound Chinese values and virtues. Hopefully, someday you can lead a carefree and contented life without constraints just as the flying eagle and the jumping fish.

華語學程願藉「魚躍」的多重意涵祝福您，歷經一番刻苦學習後脫胎換骨、「魚躍龍門」。讓流利的華語能力與深厚的中華文化內涵，成為您充滿魅力的人格特質之一，更期望有朝一日您也將體會「鳶飛魚躍」的自在逍遙。
