With the dream that technology will change the world, he resolutely quit his high-paying job in Silicon Valley, and with the patented technology of search engine, he founded Baidu Company in Zhongguancun on June 65438+ 10/.

Since its establishment, the company has been adhering to the concept of "customer first", constantly insisting on technological innovation, and is committed to providing users with "simple and reliable" Internet search products and services.

The name "Baidu" comes from the word "Baidu", which comes from a sentence by Xin Qiji, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty 800 years ago: people are looking for him for thousands of Baidu.

Source of "Baidu" LOGO: The creativity of "bear's paw" icon comes from the stimulation of "hunter patrolling bear's paw", which is very similar to Li's "analytic search technology", thus forming Baidu's search concept and eventually becoming Baidu's icon image.

Later, because when searching for introductions, most of them have animal images, such as Sohu's fox, such as Google's dog, Baidu is naturally called a bear. Baidu Bear has also become the image of Baidu.
