Abstract: This paper aims to explore the application of symbolic meanings in visual design of the transportation culture of the Huai’an Grand Canal. The transportation culture of the Huai’an Grand Canal, as an important part of Chinese history and culture, contains rich and profound symbolic meanings, and has high research and application value. Huai’an, as a transportation center, played an important role in ancient Chinese logistics and economy. Its transportation culture involves various aspects such as transportation technology, customs, rituals, and art. With the development of society, modern design needs to constantly seek new cultural elements and symbols for innovation. Applying the symbolic meaning of transportation culture to modern visual design helps to express the modernization of traditional culture. By exploring the cultural elements of Huai’an transportation and utilizing modern visual design, we can more effectively inherit and protect the cultural symbols of Huai’an transportation. As an important component of Huai’an’s local characteristic culture, the study and application of transportation cultural symbols can help enhance Huai’an’s cultural identity and regional brand, strengthen national cultural confidence, and promote cultural exchange and diversity. In addition, the symbolic connotations in the transportation culture provide rich creative inspiration and innovative space for visual design, thereby promoting design innovation.
