The origin of the national flag

1On June 6th, 949, the Preparatory Committee of the new China People's Political Consultative Conference decided to set up a primary selection committee for the national flag and national emblem, and published a solicitation announcement in People's Daily and other newspapers from July 4th to August 5th of the same year. During the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference in September, 1949, the primary selection committee selected 38 designs from the 30 12 received, and issued them to all delegates for discussion.

After discussion by all the delegates in groups, on the evening of September 25th, Mao Zedong, president hosted a consultation forum on national flag, national emblem, national anthem, calendar and national capital. In the discussion on the national flag, the meeting decided to delete the sickle and axe symbols with strong ideological color and similar to the Soviet flag in the original design draft. Finally, a five-star red flag scheme with red as the background and four small stars guarding the big star was formed.
