Who designed the five-star red flag? What do the colors and the five stars mean? thank you

The national flag of the People's Republic of China is a five-star red flag with a red and rectangular face, with five yellow five-pointed stars on the upper left, and four small stars arched on the right side of a big star, each with a corner pointing directly at the center of the big star.

[ Edit this paragraph] The meaning of the national flag pattern

The red flag of the Chinese people and the national flag symbolizes revolution. The five five-pointed stars on the flag and their relationship symbolize the great unity of the revolutionary people under the leadership of the * * * production party. The five-pointed star uses yellow to show light on the red ground. Yellow is brighter and more beautiful than white. Each of the four small five-pointed stars has a tip facing the center of the big star, which means unity around a center.

The big five-pointed star in China's national flag represents China's * * * production party, and the four small five-pointed stars represent workers, peasants, petty bourgeoisie and national bourgeoisie. The flag is red, symbolizing revolution, and the star is yellow, indicating that the Chinese nation is a yellow race. The five five-pointed stars are connected with each other, and the density is alternating, symbolizing the great unity of the people of China. Each small star has a sharp corner facing the center of the big star, which shows that all four classes are centripetal to the party and are under the overall leadership of the party.

[ Edit this paragraph] The origin of the national flag

The five-star red flag of the Chinese people and the national flag was originally called the Red Land Five-Star Flag, which was designed by Zeng Liansong of Shanghai Modern Economic News Agency in July 1949. China People's Political Consultative Conference (hereinafter referred to as "People's Political Consultative Conference" and "New CPPCC"), a draft of Mr. Zeng Liansong's national flag design, was selected from more than 2,992 works all over the country. After two careful screenings, 38 designs were shortlisted, and finally the red five-star flag designed by Zeng Liansong was pulled out. However, because the big five-star center of the original plan was inlaid with a sickle and hammer, some people thought that China, as a sovereign country, should have a unique and easily recognizable flag.

On June 16th, 1949, the Preparatory Committee of the New Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference decided to set up a national flag and national emblem pattern primary selection committee, and published a solicitation notice in People's Daily and other newspapers from July 14th to August 15th of that year. During the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference in September, 1949, the primary selection committee selected 38 of the 3,12 patterns received and printed them for discussion by all delegates. After discussion by all the delegates in groups, on the evening of September 25th, President Mao Zedong held a forum for consultation on the national flag, national emblem, national anthem, calendar and national capitals. On the question of the national flag, President Mao Zedong pointed out that the pattern of the five-star red flag shows the great unity of the revolutionary people and will be great unity in the future. Therefore, it is unity and revolution now and in the future.

On September 27th, 1949, in the Resolution on the Capital, Calendar, National Anthem and National Flag of the Chinese People * * * adopted at the first plenary session in Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the fourth point stipulated: "It was unanimously adopted that the national flag of the Chinese People * * * and China was a five-star flag on red ground, symbolizing the great unity of the revolutionary people in China."

The Resolution of the China People's Political Consultative Conference on the Chinese People's Republic of China, the Year, the National Anthem and the National Flag, and the flag-making method adopted by the presidium of the CPPCC, stipulate that the national flag of the Chinese people's Republic of China is a five-star red flag, rectangular, red, symbolizing revolution, with the ratio of length to height of three to two, and five yellow five-pointed stars on the upper left side of the flag, symbolizing revolution under the leadership of the * * * production party. One star is larger, and the diameter of its circumscribed circle is 3/1 of the height of the flag, ranking left; The four stars are small, the diameter of their excircle is 1/1 of the height of the flag, and they are arched on the right side of the big star, and each has a horn tip facing the center point of the big star, expressing the hearts of hundreds of millions of people to the great China * * * production party, as if all the stars were arched to the north. The flagpole cover is white to distinguish it from the red flag.

On October 1st, 1949, the first national flag of the Chinese people, the five-star red flag, was first raised in Tiananmen Square by Mao Zedong.

article 14 of the constitution of the people's Republic of China in p>1954 stipulates: "the national flag of the people's Republic of China is a five-star red flag." Since then, all previous constitutions have retained this provision.

On June 28th, 199, the 14th meeting of the 7th the NPC Standing Committee of the People's Republic of China passed the Law on the National Flag of the People's Republic of China, which was promulgated by the President of the People's Republic of China and implemented on October 1st, 199.

in order to safeguard the dignity of the national flag, the state issued two national standards, the national flag and the national flag color standard sample, which stipulated the technical requirements of the national flag, such as shape, color, pattern, plate-making positioning, general size, color fastness and so on, and announced that they would be officially implemented on December 1, 1991.

[ Edit this paragraph] Raise and lower the national flag

The National Flag Law passed in p>199 stipulates that when the national flag is raised, it must be raised to the top of the pole; When lowering, the national flag shall not fall to the ground. When the national flag was lowered to the base of the national flagpole in 2 minutes and 7 seconds, one soldier quickly held the national flag with both hands, and then another soldier folded the flag evenly, which was accurate between 13 and 15.

[ Edit this paragraph] Replace the national flag

The Law of the People's Republic of China on the National Flag passed in p>199 stipulates that damaged, defaced, faded or substandard national flags shall not be hoisted. In order to ensure the sanctity and integrity of the national flag, the national flag over Tiananmen Square is basically changed every day. Every major festival, a new national flag must be replaced. Even if the national flag is not damaged, the longest hanging time cannot exceed 1 days.

[ Edit this paragraph] Replace the flagpole of the national flag

The flagpole erected in Tiananmen Square was replaced once.

The first flag pole was the one used by Chairman Mao in founding ceremony in 1949. It was 22 meters high.

On May 1, 1991, the flag pole was rebuilt, with a height of 32.6 meters. The replacement of flagpoles is based on two considerations. First, the flagpole of the national flag that has stood for 42 years is indeed somewhat aging; Second, great changes have taken place in Tiananmen Square and Chang 'an Avenue. The great and majestic Great Hall of the People, the China National Museum and the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall have been built, and the height of the flagpole is obviously low, which does not match it.

The reconstructed national flagpole base is exquisite, and it is divided into three layers: the inner layer is surrounded by white marble railings with a height of 8cm, and the east and west sides have access channels with a width of 2m; The second floor is an ochre granite belt with a width of more than 2 meters around the base, which symbolizes "the people's mountains and rivers are red for generations"; The third floor is a 5-meter-wide green belt, evergreen all the year round, symbolizing the prosperity of the socialist motherland. The base of the national flag is surrounded by a guardrail with 56 yellow copper piers, which symbolizes that 56 ethnic groups are hand in hand and United under the national flag.

For convenience, this piece only takes the flagpole on the left side as the standard of description. If the flagpole is on the right side, the left referred to in this document should be changed to the right, and the right should be changed to the left.

(1) The flag face is red and rectangular, and its length and height are the ratio of three to two, with five yellow five-pointed stars on the upper left of the flag face. One star is larger, and the diameter of its circumscribed circle is three-tenths of the height of the flag, ranking left; The four stars are smaller, and the diameter of the circumscribed circle is one tenth of the height of the flag, and the ring arch is on the right of the big star. The flagpole cover is white.

the center point of B and the big five-pointed star is at five points, five points on the left and ten points on the rectangle. Its drawing method is: take this point as the center and make a circle with the radius of three divisions. On this circumference, five equidistant points are determined, one of which must be directly above the circle. Then connect the two separated points of these five points to make them in a straight line. The outer contour line formed by these five straight lines is the required five-pointed star. One corner of the five-pointed star is facing upward.

the center points of C and the four small five-pointed stars, the first point is on the rectangle, the second point is on the rectangle, the third point is on the rectangle, the third point is on the rectangle, and the fourth point is on the rectangle. Its drawing method is: take the above four points as the center of the circle, divide them into four circles with equal radius, respectively. Set five equidistant points on each circle, one of which must be located on each connecting line between the center of the five-pointed star and the above four centers. Then use the same method to form a big pentagram to form a small pentagram. Each of the four small five-pointed stars has a corner pointing directly at the center of the big five-pointed star.

(3) The general dimensions of the national flag are as follows: A, length 288 cm, height 192 cm.
