Deer antlers were found on the Jinsha site and were used in the Shu people's sacrificial ceremonies, hence the deers in the scheme.

Chengdu was known before as the "Hibiscus City" (Rongcheng, 蓉城), from the hibiscus which King Mengchang of the Later Shu ordered planted upon the city wall during the 10th century. The Golden Sun Bird is an artefact unearthed in Jinsha in 2001, now a symbol of Chengdu and the logo of the airline.
