Qu Yan is a professional online research and education institution. All courses are designed with the teaching method (project-based learning), focusing on scientific research guidance and academic background improvement.

The core teaching and research team consists of doctors, postdocs and professors from world-renowned universities such as University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and scientists from famous national laboratories such as Lawrence Berkeley.

This year is the fifth year of the establishment of Salt Fun.

In the past five years, Qu Yanhe 1700+ tutor has helped 20,000+students to carry out scientific research projects. In the first quarter of 2020, 93% of the applicants were admitted to famous universities such as TOP30 in the United States and G5 in the United Kingdom, with fruitful teaching results.

This time, combined with the crystallization of ViaX and salt in corporate culture, V and I were made into smiling faces with high recognition. A stands for attitude, X stands for the unknown and all possibilities, and ax also means axe.

What we want to express is that Qu Yan has been tutoring students with an optimistic and open mind, full of ambition to explore the unknown from "A" to "X". This is also the attitude of scientific research that we advocate, and the brand concept of honesty, preciseness, openness, initiative and champion mentality.

It is worth mentioning that we chose "ultramarine" as the theme color of this new logo. When Fu Hao asked the designer why he chose this color as a symbol, he gave me a popular science lesson:

In ancient Europe, ultramarine was five times as expensive as gold. Ultramarine is made of lapis lazuli, a gold gem with a long history. It was excavated from Afghanistan, passed through land and water, and finally reached Europe.

This kind of pigment with scarce output, difficult transportation and high purification cost is rarely used by ordinary painters. Therefore, since the Renaissance, ultramarine blue has been used in religious paintings, so it is also called "Virgin Blue".

1826, chemists finally found a way to synthesize this pigment, thus making ultramarine popular. (Excerpted from "The First Painter in History Who Painted His Bankruptcy")

It is precisely because of human curiosity to explore the synthetic method of ultramarine that this rare pigment can be widely used. Qu Yan also holds this curious attitude towards scientific research, building bridges for students and letting them feel the magical world by doing scientific research. Just like our slogan-curiosity! Perceive the world.
