The features like Chinese-style gateways, traditional Chinese character signage, Chaozhou-style arcades, auspicious designs, and temple incense offerings do not merely record the genealogy of traditional Chinese culture, but also reflect the aesthetics of Thai architecture and the diversity of human existence, creating an original and lively cultural symbol system. Such a system is a valuable reservoir of resources to design art creation and a way of understanding the cross-penetration and fusion of the multicultural components. In this paper, I will begin with the definition and meaning of cultural symbols in Bangkok Chinatown followed by the analysis of how they influence the world of art and lastly what are the outlooks regarding the transformation of these cultural symbols in the field of applied art creation.Bangkok Chinatown,cultural symbols,applied arts,translation
