[edit] History
The Sports Affairs Council was established in 1932. At the time, however, it could not function because the state was at war.[1] In 1973, the Department of Physical Education (traditional Chinese: 體育司) was established under the Ministry of Education. The department was upgraded to a council directly under the Executive Yuan in 1997.[1]
[edit] Seal
The seal of the Sports Affairs Council is consisted of three different colors: blue, green, and red. The color blue represents freedom and energy, green represents development, nature, health, and harmony, and red represents passion.[2]
The shape of the seal is combined with three different elements: ume, sun, and human. The ume is used as it is the national flower of the ROC. The sun represents energy and the human represents humanity.[2]
