CHINA NATIONAL FLAG

While there have been several Chinese national flags throughout history, today’s flag was introduced in 1949, when the people’s republic of china was formed. China’s original flag, introduced in 1872, featured a blue dragon on a yellow background. After the 1911 revolt, the flag changed to five different colored stripes.
Today’s flag features five stars in the left- hand- corner one large star surrounded
by four smaller stars on a red background.
The red background is known as china’s traditional color and dates back to the Han Dynasty in 206 B.C..but also represents the communist revolution. The large star represents communism. While the four smaller stars represent the Chinese people’s social classes. These four classes are peasants workers petty bourgeoisie and patriotic capitalists.
