National Flag
    The National flag of the People's Republic of China, designed by Zeng Liansong who was a clerk in Shanghai in 1949, is a red flag with five stars.
    The proportion between the length and height of the national flag is 3:2. The following five sizes are in common use: 288 cms by 192 cms; 240 cms by 160 cms; 192 cms by 128 cms; 144 cms by 96 cms; 96 cms by 64 cms.
    The five five-pointed yellow stars are located in the upper left corner. One of them, which is bigger, appears on the left, while the other four hem it in on the right.
    The red color of the flag symbolizes revolution; the stars take on the yellow color in order to bring out their brightness on the red ground. The larger star represents the CPC, while the four smaller ones, the Chinese people. The relationship between the stars means the great unity of the Chinese People under the leadership of the CPC.
