When i get this topic, i hesitate a few minutes. I think i have no much idea about my country's flag. Only one thing i know is that my country's flag stand for the revolution. By now, i find some information about national flag of my country.
My country's flag is very simple and it is red color and five yellow stars in the upper left corner of the flag. One of star which appears on the left is bigger than other four stars which hem that big star in on the right. The red color of the flag symbolizes revolution. The stars with yellow color are use for bringing out their brightness on the red ground. The biger star represnts the Communist Party of China, while the four stars stand for the works, farmers, petty bourgeois and democracy bourgeois separately. One corner of every small star faces to the large star's center. Their relationship between the stars means the great unity of the Chinese people under the leadership of the CPC.
The national flag's design is selected by Chair Mao from the over three thounsands flag design. He said this design about five-star flag represnts the chinese people to fight against war get together and strive to gain the peace. You know, before the 1949, the war was still exist in China. People need to hold together to fight. So, we choose the flag that can stand for the unity of the Chinese people. So, the five-star design can express this meaning and it is decided to be the national flag of China. In addition, The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress pass the flag law of People's Republic of China in 1990's. And this law carried out on October first, 1990.
Now, i exactly get the meaning of my country's flag. I know it's very important in China and people need to pay much attention to the flag because the flag is represents a country. So, raise a flag is a serious work in China. In capital beijing, the flagman usually is soldier and the time they raise flag must match the sunup time. It means if the sun up at 4:00, the flag must be raised at 4:00. So, raise the flag is a big deal.
