How is the national flag usually hung?

If the heads of state of two countries hold talks, they usually choose to sit face to face, and the national flag is placed at one end of the conference table according to the position of the two seats. If it is a multi-country summit, the round table will be chosen for seating, and the national flags will be arranged on one side of the conference room in turn.

The national flag is a national symbol as well as a national symbol. People often show their love for their country or respect for other countries by flying the national flag. However, in the territory of a sovereign country, it is generally not allowed to fly the flag of another country at will. Many countries have special regulations on flying foreign flags. In international exchanges, some practices of flying the national flag have also been formed, which have been recognized by all countries.

According to the norms of international relations, it is a diplomatic privilege for a head of state or government to visit the territory of another country and fly the national flag (some of which are the flags of the head of state) on his residence and means of transportation. When the host country receives visiting foreign heads of state and government, it is a courtesy to hang the flag of the other party (or both parties) (or the flag of the head of state) on the hotels and cars where distinguished guests stay on grand occasions. In addition, it is internationally recognized that a country's diplomatic representative has the right to fly its national flag in its office and residence, as well as in the vehicles of the receiving country.

At international conferences, in addition to the national flags of participating countries, the heads of government delegations also fly their national flags (or not) in some places or vehicles according to the relevant regulations of the conference organizers. Some international activities, such as exhibitions and sports competitions, often hang the national flags of the countries concerned.

When the national flag is hung on a building or outdoors, it should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset. When it is necessary to hang the national flag to mourn, the usual practice is to lower the flag at half mast, that is, first raise the national flag to the top of the pole, and then lower it from the top of the pole to a place equivalent to one third of the length of the pole. When lowering the flag, first raise the national flag to the top of the flagpole, and then lower it. Some countries don't fly flags at half-mast, but hang black gauze above the national flag to show their condolences. When raising and lowering the national flag, the clothes should be neat and the hat should be taken off at attention. Damaged and defiled national flags cannot be used. The national flag must have risen to the top of the flagpole.

The national flags of both sides are hoisted. According to international practice, the right is up and the left is down. The national flags of the two countries are hung side by side, depending on the orientation of the national flag itself. The national flag of the guests is hung on the right and the national flag is hung on the left. When the flag is hung on the car, the direction of the car shall prevail, with the driver's left hand as the main party and his right hand as the guest party.
