This emblem was designed by an ethnic Kazakh Chinese designer. White Swan is worshipped and cherished by Kazakhs. According to the Kazakh legend, Karler Qyahardel, who is a head of a Kazakh tribe and is esteemed and loved by his people, suffered a heavy wound in a battle. He was saved by a white swan. The white swan becomes a beautiful girl. They get married and then have a baby, who is named Kazakh (meaning "White Swan"). The Kazakhs deem the white swan as a mascot, a embodiment of beauty, a source of beauty, a symbol of pure love and an epitome of great mother.
哈萨克人十分崇拜和珍惜白天鹅。传说在遥远的古代,一位名叫卡勒恰哈德尔的部落首领深受人们的爱戴,他在一次征战中身负重伤,被一只白天鹅救起。白天鹅变成一位美丽的少女,他们结为夫妇,生下一个男孩,取名为“哈萨克”,意为“白天鹅”。哈萨克人把白天鹅视为吉祥物,当作美的化身、美的源泉及纯洁爱情的象征和伟大母亲的缩影。
