There have been different opinions and arguments about the design of the national emblem in the past ten years, and it has heated up again in the past two years.
The three articles published in China Reading Newspaper made three statements about the design of the national emblem-
1997 10 10/day, this newspaper selected the contents of the book "Architect Liang Sicheng () Design the National Emblem", entitled "Liang Sicheng and Lin Design the National Emblem". The article said: "1On June 23rd, 950, the second session of China People's Political Consultative Conference was held. At the suggestion of Chairman Mao, all the delegates unanimously adopted the national emblem pattern designed by Lin led by Liang Sicheng. "
On June 5 of the same year, 10, the newspaper published a letter entitled "Mr. Ren contributed, and the newspaper pointed out that the designer of the national emblem should be Gao Zhuang". The letter said: "As far as I know, the designer of the national emblem is a young teacher in Tsinghua University named Gao Zhuang (male)." "The national emblem finally selected the design of Gaozhuang, which was adopted by the Political Bureau of the Central Committee."
On February 6th 1998, the newspaper published an article entitled "Who is the designer of the national emblem? It is stated that "the design of the national emblem involves several aspects and has a process of nearly one year, which is the result of multi-party participation, phased completion and collective creation. However, the different division of labor and responsibilities of the participating creators can still be clearly divided. Subject: Zhang Ding; Drawing drafting: Department of Architecture, Tsinghua University; Model finalization: Gaozhuang. "
In order to understand the design of the national emblem, the author specially went to the archives of China People's Political Consultative Conference and Tsinghua University to consult the historical archives of the national emblem design.
Mao Zedong said that the national flag has been decided, and whether the national emblem can be decided slowly.
On June 1949, Zhou Enlai presided over the first meeting of the Standing Committee of the Preparatory Committee for the new CPPCC and decided to set up six working groups under the leadership of the Standing Committee. The task of the sixth group is to study and draft the national flag, national emblem, national anthem, calendar year, national capital, etc. With Ma Xulun as the team leader and Ye Jianying and Shen Yanbing as the deputy team leaders.
In July 1949, 10, the preparatory meeting of the new CPPCC proposed to put forward requirements for the design of the national emblem in the Notice on Collecting the National Flag and National Anthem Patterns: (1) China characteristics; Characteristics of political power; (3) The form must be solemn and rich. "The notice said that the deadline for collecting the national flag, national emblem and national anthem was August 20th of that year.
On August 5th, 1949, the sixth group decided to invite three experts, namely Xu Beihong, Liang Sicheng and Ai Qing, as consultants to the primary selection committee of the national flag and emblem. On August 24, the sixth group discussed the draft application for the national emblem, and proposed that "if too few works are received to be used, experts have been asked to draft them, and a decision will be made after receiving the drawings." /kloc-in September of 0/4, the sixth group conveyed Mao Zedong's opinions on the design of the national flag and national emblem: "The workers' and peasants' alliance does not have to be marked on the national flag, but can be marked on the national emblem."
At 8 pm on September 25th, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai held a meeting in Fengzeyuan, Zhongnanhai to discuss the national flag, national emblem and national anthem. According to records, at this meeting, everyone was dissatisfied with the draft application for the national emblem. Mao Zedong finally said: The national flag has been decided. Whether the national emblem can be decided in the future, or the original team will continue to design it, and the government will decide later.
At the first plenary session of the new China People's Political Consultative Conference held on September 27th, four resolutions were discussed and passed, namely, the national flag, the national capital, the Gregorian calendar and the national anthem. The Presidium of the Congress decided to invite experts to design the national emblem independently.
Tsinghua University and the Central Academy of Fine Arts received the invitation of the China People's Political Consultative Conference, and respectively formed the design team of Tsinghua University Architecture Department headed by Liang Sicheng and Lin and the design team of the Central Academy of Fine Arts headed by Liang Sicheng and Lin to launch the design competition.
Two expert groups put forward the first round plan.
Before the first plenary session of the new Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was held, some experts from the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University and the Central Academy of Fine Arts began to design the national emblem.
1On September 25th, 949, Zhang Ding and Zhong Ling put forward five national emblems similar to CPPCC, and the explanation said, "The combination of Gear and Jiahe represents the alliance of workers and peasants." "The background and the five-pointed star represent the vanguard of the working class-the leadership of the * * production party, and the light of * * * productism shines all over the world." "China's territory is exposed on the earth, which shows the characteristics of our country-vast territory."
It was also at this time that Professor Lin and Mo of Tsinghua University put forward the national emblem pattern and asked for revision and re-selection. With the assistance of Tsinghua University professors Deng Yizhe, Wang Xun, Gao Zhuang and Liang Sicheng, a revised scheme was put forward on 10/23 October, with a note: "The national emblem pattern is mainly composed of a stone (or stone); Taking the country name, five stars, gears and golden harvest as the main themes; The whole pattern is set off by the knot of red ribbon. "Bi" is the most solemn ritual vessel in ancient China, while "Jade is a gift from heaven". Said,' This is a big hole.' This wall is a big hole, so it can also be said to be a dragon. Xunzi's sketch says:' Tell someone to give them a warning'; Summon the people of the whole country to symbolize unity. Both Bi and Ji are jade, moist and symbolizing peace. ..... The size of five gold stars is five stars on the national flag, golden gears represent workers, and golden harvests represent farmers. ……"
CPPCC decided to design the national emblem with Tiananmen as one of its main contents.
Experts from the Central Academy of Fine Arts later put forward the national emblem pattern with Tiananmen as the main content, imitating the form of the national emblem of CPPCC. This plan and the above two plans were sent to the Fifth Session of the First CPPCC Standing Committee for discussion on June 1950. The Standing Committee of China People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) was not satisfied with these three schemes, but affirmed the adoption of Tiananmen as the national emblem pattern and decided to design the national emblem with Tiananmen as one of its main contents.
On June 2 1 and June 2 1950, the report of the national emblem review group written by Ma Xulun and Shen Yanbing clearly recorded the meeting on June 2 10: "There are five designs modeled after the national emblem (Zhang Ding and Zhong Ling's plan-author's note), and one with Tiananmen as the main content. After the Standing Committee thinks that it is inappropriate, the instructions are mainly based on the second method, and the pattern will be made after revision. "
In the existing design of the national emblem of China People's Political Consultative Conference, the author did not find this kind of pattern called "imitating the form of the emblem with Tiananmen as the main content" by Ma Xulun and Shen Yanbing, but according to the existing text files, the design of Tiananmen Square is rich in color, realistic and oblique.
On June 1 1, the national emblem group held a meeting to discuss the pattern of "imitating the form of the emblem with Tiananmen as the main content" proposed by experts from the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
Zhang Xiruo introduced: "I attended the fifth executive meeting yesterday, and felt that the eaves in the Tiananmen Square schema could be green, and the house was twill style, but some people criticized it as a Japanese house, which looked a bit like the architecture of the Tang Dynasty ... Later, I talked with Premier Zhou and felt it necessary to transform the house into the above pattern."
Liang Sicheng said: "I don't think the national emblem is a painting, nor is it just a painting of the Great Wall in Wan Li and Tiananmen Square. ..... Westerners in Tiananmen can draw pictures, and so can people in China. So, what these painters paint is the same. However, it does not really show the spirit of the Chinese nation, nor is it the best way to adopt Tiananmen style. It is best to express it with traditional spirit or symbolic things. At the same time, I feel a little dissatisfied with the pattern processing, that is, it looks like a trademark, the color is too lively and vulgar, and there is no solemn color. "
Zhang Xiruo and Shen Yanbing put forward different opinions that Tiananmen Square represents the May 4th Movement and the birth of People's Republic of China (PRC). Finally, the meeting adopted the Tiananmen pattern as the national emblem in principle. Since then, experts from Tsinghua University Architecture Department and Central Academy of Fine Arts have started a new round of design competition.
A new round of design competition has begun.
On June 15, he took out his newly designed national emblem pattern (Zhou provided technical consultation and Cao assisted in drawing) and instructed: "1. Red gear, golden harvest, symbolizing the alliance of workers and peasants. There is a pentagonal Venus above the gear, which symbolizes the leading position of China Producers Party, a working-class political party. Second, the red belt under the gear Jiahe symbolizes the great unity of the people of the whole country and the prosperity and well-being of the country. 3. Tiananmen Square is a representative building with revolutionary historical significance and a symbol of my 5,000-year-old culture, greatness, strength and heroic motherland. "
The manual is also accompanied by a designer's opinion, which is summarized as follows:
I. Handling of the theme:
Mr. Liang believes that it is a building, which is not suitable to be a part of the national emblem, and it is difficult to be schematic. It is advisable to avoid painting it as a landscape painting and become a secondary decoration.
Designers believe that gear, Jiahe and Tiananmen Square are the main components of the pattern, especially Tiananmen Square as the main body, even if it is painted as a landscape painting ... the theme cannot be hurt by the form.
Second, about the realistic technique:
Mr. Liang believes that the shape of the national emblem is better to be schematic and decorative, and realism is easy to be vulgar.
Designers believe that natural things must be processed to become works of art, but excessive or inappropriate processing not only does not emphasize the essence of natural things, but changes its face. ……。
Third, about inheriting the historical tradition of fine arts:
Mr. Liang believes that the national emblem pattern should inherit the historical tradition of art and adopt the national form.
The designer thinks that Mr. Liang's spirit is good, but we should criticize and inherit the historical tradition in art, and we should inherit the part that can serve the people and criticize the part that is against the people. ...
Four, about the use of color:
Zhu Qiang, Huangwa and Qingtian in Beijing are the unique features of the world metropolis, solemn and gorgeous. So the colors in the draft are mainly Zhu, Jin (the same as yellow) and cyan, which are also the national colors of China. However, due to the influence of capitalist education or modern literati painting, ordinary intellectuals are tired of this strong contrast and think it is "indecent". ..... In fact, before the development of literati painting, Chinese painting has always paid a lot, such as Zhu, Dunhuang Tang painting and Han painting. More importantly, the broad masses of the people still love this rich color ... If we blindly emphasize "harmony" and adapt to the fun of the study, once it is hung high, it will be boring, and it will not make the national emblem have a magnificent impression.
As can be seen from the archives, after the National Emblem Group agreed to adopt the Tiananmen pattern on June 1 1, at the prompt of Premier Zhou Enlai, Liang Sicheng accepted the design of the national emblem with the theme of Tiananmen, and designed Tiananmen as a facade pattern. Liang Sicheng did not object to the use of the most common colors in China's ancient architecture-gold and Zhu. In the scheme proposed by Lin and Mo, 65438+65438 in 0949+23 10, both colors are adopted.
On June 5438+05, the National Emblem Group held a meeting at 8 pm to discuss three new designs drawn by Tsinghua University and the Zhang Ding scheme of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Liang Sicheng said: "Premier Zhou reminded me to design the national emblem with Tiananmen as the main body, so I invited several colleagues from the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua to discuss and study it. We believe that the place where the national emblem is hung is an important place for embassies abroad and the Central People's Government, so it must be solemn and steady. "
Liang Sicheng also pointed out: (1) The national emblem cannot be like a landscape painting. "Our task is to take Tiananmen as the main body, not to become a landscape painting of Tiananmen, plus a circle. If so, the meaning of the national emblem will be lost." (2) The national emblem cannot be like a trademark. (3) The national emblem must be solemn.
Tian Han put forward different opinions: "What Mr. Liang wants to avoid most is that the national emblem becomes a landscape painting, but it is not necessary to avoid it too much. I think the most important thing to consider is people's mood ... Mr. Liang's is far away from us and Mr. Zhang's is closer to us. So I think their opinions need to be unified. "
The meeting decided to merge two of the national emblem designs designed by Tsinghua University: "Merge the first and third national emblem designs designed by Mr. Liang, and use the outer ring of the first and the content of the third, and ask Mr. Liang to rearrange and draw."
On June 16, Liang Sicheng took out the newly revised pattern, and the national emblem review team met again to compare this plan with Zhang Ding's plan. Shen Yanbing wrote the report of the national emblem review team;
Zheng Zhenduo, Liao Chengzhi, Cai Chang,,, Li Siguang (Li Wei was present, but he approved the original of this painting yesterday) are all in favor of Liang Sicheng's new painting (golden vermilion, square and five stars).
When Shao Lizi was in favor of the pattern, he put forward a suggestion that an original grass sample of the beam should be combined with the modified sample, so that the Tiananmen Square of the modified sample can be more realistic.
Reason for approval: Liang Tu is solemn and the artistic structure is complete and unified (Shao Lizi said that the picture is beautiful and Liang Tu is solemn).
Tian Han and Ma Yilao said that both have their own strengths. ……
Yan Bing once asked people who had seen these two paintings outside the group that they were either beautiful or complete, but they thought neither painting was ideal.
Among the older generation, there are more opinions about pictures and less opinions about beams. ……。
Because some judges put forward amendments, Liang Sicheng organized personnel to revise the draft again and wrote the manual the next day. Excerpts are as follows:
This design is based on the discussion of the National Emblem Group of the State Committee and decided to adopt Tiananmen as one of the main contents of the National Emblem.
Because Tiananmen Square is actually a huge building, there are many complicated objects in front of it, such as stone bridges and China watches, so we need to consider the technology to deal with it. In order to master the principle of symbolization, we must:
(1) Try to avoid the picture and don't make it into a landscape painting. This is to avoid the application of depth perspective and avoid the color of photos.
(2) Anything that needs to be patterned and symbolized and symbolizes the theme content must be painted in the same way as other symbols and form patterns with each other.
……
The main contents of the pattern are the golden five-star on the national flag and Tiananmen Square. The five stars symbolize the leadership of the production party in China and the great unity of the people of the whole country; Tiananmen Square symbolizes the beginning of the new-democratic revolution and the birthplace of the May 4th Movement. The new China born here takes the revolutionary red as the sky and symbolizes the bloody sacrifice of countless martyrs. The center of the bottom is a complete gear, with rice and wheat decorated on both sides, symbolizing the people's democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the alliance of workers and peasants. Through the red silk knot in the center of the gear, it symbolizes the unprecedented unity of the people of the whole country around the working class in China.
..... The handling of Tiananmen Square with pure gold relief omits complicated details and colors, which is more suitable for the genre of the national emblem to symbolize Tiananmen Square. Red gold painting is a manifestation of China's national form, which has both gorgeous and solemn effects. The colors used in the national emblem are loved by the working people in China and can represent the artistic spirit of China.
The final adoption of the national emblem pattern
1On June 20th, 950, the National Emblem Evaluation Group held a meeting, and made the final evaluation of the scheme put forward by the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University and the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and finally determined the scheme of the National Emblem designed by eight teachers, including Liang Sicheng and Lin from the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University, and sent it to the General Assembly for voting.
In the minutes of this meeting, the author saw that Zheng Zhenduo, Zhang Xiruo and Shen Yanbing thought that Tsinghua University's plan was "very mature in art and complete and unified in structure." Zhou Enlai commented on Tsinghua University's plan like this: "The belts below the picture are connected together, symbolizing the unity of workers and peasants." Zhou Enlai and Ma Xulun proposed that Tsinghua University's plan "gold and red highlight the characteristics of China" and the plan of the Central Academy of Fine Arts "red, green and green, although clear, but not solemn enough."
The meeting also discussed the issue of awarding the national flag, national anthem and national emblem. Ma Xulun thinks that the selected picture of Tsinghua University (the second picture) was transformed from the original picture of Tiananmen Square (the sixth picture) painted by the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and we should pay attention to this factor when praising it: "Although the system nature of the second picture and the sixth picture is different, the pattern of the second picture is transformed from the sixth picture, so we can't ignore the original intention and imitation, and it is not a problem to issue commemorative medals to the yearbook. I hope everyone will consider the amount of the bonus. "
Zheng Zhenduo and Zhang Xiruo put forward different opinions. Zheng Zhenduo thinks that we can't just consider Tiananmen Square: "The original picture includes not only Tiananmen Square, but also the national flag. Pay attention to it when awarding prizes."
Zheng Zhenduo obviously noticed that although Tsinghua University didn't adopt the image of Tiananmen Square at the earliest, it was the earliest and always designed the five-star red flag into the scheme, and it was under the five-star red flag that Tiananmen Square fully reflected its political characteristics.
Zhang Xiruo even said frankly: "This is not a question of dividing money, but a grand reward for the winner and a respect for the national emblem. Although there is Tiananmen Square in the sixth picture, it is not a personal creation, but a copy of the badge of CPPCC. I advocate giving the winner 10 million, others are another problem, and the second prize can be given as appropriate. "
Ma Xulun and Shen Yanbing finally put forward: "The national flag, national emblem and national anthem are all awarded10 million yuan, and the (intention) prize with Tiananmen as the content is awarded 5 million yuan, and the bonus is also awarded 5 million yuan according to the painting." Everyone agreed.
The Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University won the first prize in the design of the national emblem, with a bonus of10 million yuan (old coins). According to Premier Zhou Enlai's opinion, it improved the detailed image of rice ears in the national emblem. 1950 On June 23, at the second plenary session of the first session of the China People's Political Consultative Conference, President Mao Zedong personally presided over the adoption of a resolution, agreeing with the report of the national emblem review team and the proposed national emblem pattern.
After the design scheme of the national emblem was passed, Liang Sicheng recommended Gao Zhuang, a sculpture professor from the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University, to the Central Committee to complete the design and modeling of the three-dimensional relief model of the national emblem. When Gao Zhuang, who was born in Geng Jie, created the model, he thought that there was still room for improvement in the national emblem scheme, so he wrote to Mao Zedong: "Chairman, you are a great politician, but you are not an artist ...". President Mao Zedong agrees with Gao Zhuang.
From early July to mid-August, after one and a half months' efforts, Gaozhuang finally completed the design and finalization of the national emblem model, and the central government agreed to the national emblem relief model made by Gaozhuang. 1On September 20th, 950, President Mao Zedong signed the order of the Central People's Government and announced the design and explanation of the national emblem of China: "The national emblem consists of the national flag, Tiananmen Square, gears and ears of wheat, symbolizing the new democratic revolutionary struggle of the China people since the May 4th Movement and the birth of the new China of the people's democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the workers' and peasants' alliance."
On the eve of the first anniversary of the founding of New China, the national emblem was finally born.
1950 after the design task of the national emblem was completed, Liang Sicheng wrote his own biography of Liang Sicheng, and wrote emotionally: "The most glorious thing he quoted (Liang Sicheng wrote this article in the third person-the author noted) is that the people of China and the national emblem are the collective creations of the teachers of the Department of Architecture in Tsinghua University, and he is one of them."
It should be an indisputable fact that the national emblem is designed by Tsinghua University Architecture Department. But since the 1980s, there have been many "versions" about the design of the national emblem, and almost all of them have been solved.
The birth history of * * and the national emblem should not be misrepresented again.
The author can't help but think of Zhang Xiruo's speech when discussing the winning scheme of the national emblem: "This is not a question of dividing money, but a grand reward for the winners and a respect for the national emblem."
▲ On the eve of the founding of New China,1June 65438+ 16, 1949, at the first meeting of the preparatory meeting of the China People's Political Consultative Conference, it was decided to set up a group to draft a plan for the national flag, national emblem and national anthem, and send a notice of essay writing to the whole country. Within one month, we received 1920 domestic and foreign application manuscripts and 1992 design manuscripts.
The flag schemes applied for also have their own characteristics. For example, the flag designed by Chen Jiageng is a sickle and axe flag; The national flag designed by Guo Moruo is two long strips, symbolizing the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, the birthplace of the Chinese nation. The national flag designed by Zhu De is a blue rectangle with a red five-pointed star in the upper left corner, symbolizing the clear sky of Wan Li. After careful selection of these patterns, we printed 38 pictures and sent them to CPPCC representatives for their comments. Finally, the No.32 Fu pattern was determined, which was approved by Mao Zedong and officially became the national flag of China people at the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference on September 27th.
The designer of this national flag, Zeng, is an ordinary economic worker in Shanghai. The moral of the national flag is: a big star leads the way, surrounded by several small stars, forming the trend of the stars fighting in the north. The big star is a Chinese producer, and the little star represents the people of China. The party and the people are United and move from victory to victory. When determining the number of small stars, he recalled Chairman Mao's article "On the People's Democratic Dictatorship": "The people include four classes, namely, the working class, the peasant class, the petty bourgeoisie and the national bourgeoisie." So he decided to use four little stars to represent the broad masses of the people.
Since then, the five-star red flag has officially become the national flag of the people of China.
▲ On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the State Council invited relevant people to a meeting to discuss the design of the national emblem. According to the central regulations, the national emblem consists of the national flag, Tiananmen Square, gears, ears of wheat and red ribbons, and the perfect combination depends on the artist's political and artistic accomplishment. At the meeting, Gao Zhuang, a professor of architecture in Tsinghua University, was shocked: "When shaping the national emblem, I have a wish to make our national emblem more solemn, clearer, healthier, firmer, more stylized and more unified; And give it a higher national spirit and the spirit of the times, and use the artistry of our national emblem to mention the international level and shine forever. " At that time, the graphic design scheme of the national emblem designed by Professor Liang Sicheng of Tsinghua University and others was reviewed and approved by the CPPCC Congress.
1950 On June 28th, the 8th meeting of the Central People's Government adopted the Description of the Pattern and Design of the National Emblem of China proposed by CPPCC. Of course, this pattern is still flat. Although the light and dark shadows of the concave and convex parts are drawn, it is difficult to replace the three-dimensional model. Under the recommendation of Liang Sicheng, Professor Gao Zhuang undertook the modeling of the national emblem relief and the design of the three-dimensional model.
When Professor Gao Zhuang began to make the sculpture of the national emblem, after careful consideration and repeated deliberation, he found that the position of individual parts of the plane pattern, the movement of the red ribbon and the radian and shape of the rice and wheat ears all needed to be modified to make the national emblem perfect. But it is not easy to make changes. The graphic design industry of national emblem has been approved by China People's Political Consultative Conference and the Central People's Government. Even Professor Liang Sicheng, the person in charge of graphic design of the national emblem, dare not rashly agree to even minor changes. Besides, the three-dimensional model of the national emblem should be completed before the National Day of that year. The task is heavy and the time is tight. If it is revised again, in case of any accident, no one can bear its political responsibility and serious consequences. However, Professor Gao Zhuang, in the spirit of loyalty to the party and the country, being meticulous in art and striving for perfection, pushed public opinion and insisted on his own opinions. In order to gain understanding and support, he also wrote a letter to Chairman Mao with sincere attitude and frank opinions, and frankly expressed his views and suggestions. Chairman Mao humbly agreed with Gao Zhuang's amendment and gave it to Premier Zhou for specific treatment. Comrade Peng Zhen also went to the Tsinghua campus to convey the news that Chairman Mao and the central leaders adopted Professor Gao Zhuang's suggestion, and visited Professor Gao Zhuang. After more than a month, from the end of June to mid-August, Professor Gao Zhuang led his assistant to work day and night in the heat, and finally completed the relief model of the national emblem. Compared with the plane model, the ears of the three-dimensional model stand side by side, or both rigid and flexible, symbolizing the unity and prosperity of all ethnic groups in the country; The red ribbon shuttles regularly, echoing the Tiananmen Wall, giving a strong and stable impression. In addition, the size of Tiananmen Square and the position of Hua Biao have also been revised. In a word, the three-dimensional model of the national emblem is the perfect unity of four standards: politics, artistry, naturalness and historicity, which embodies the majestic spirit of the Chinese nation and the spirit of the times. On August 18, the national emblem review group adopted the national emblem relief model. Subsequently, Mr. Mo drew a checkered chalk line diagram of the national emblem and a cross-sectional diagram of the national emblem according to the relief. On September 20th, Mao Zedong, Chairman of the Central People's Government, issued an order announcing the people's * * * and national emblem of China. At this point, the solemn, sacred, rich and perfect national emblem was officially born!

national flag
National Flag of the People's Republic of China is a five-star red flag with a red rectangle on the front, and five small stars with a yellow five-pointed star on the upper left are arched on the right side of a big star. The big star symbolizes the China * * * production party, and the small star symbolizes the broad masses of the people, indicating that hundreds of millions of people are United around the China * * * production party.
The national flag of our country is designed on the basis of widely mobilizing the masses. 1949 In July, the Preparatory Committee of China People's Political Consultative Conference collected national flag design plans from Chinese people all over the country and overseas, and received 2,992 plans. After repeated discussion and selection, the current scheme was finally chosen. His designer was Zeng of Shanghai Modern Economic News Agency.
The national flag and the national anthem are symbols of the motherland. Loving and respecting the national flag and national anthem is a concrete manifestation of patriotism. Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China formulated the Interim Measures of National Flag of the People's Republic of China. In this method, in addition to specifying where the national flag should be hung and where it should be hung, specific provisions are also made on the method of hanging the national flag, requiring that when the national flag is hung side by side with other flags, the position of the national flag is higher than other flags. The national flag must be raised to the top of the pole and must not land when lowered. When the flag is raised at a celebration rally, one person holds the flag and two people protect it. Please pay attention to the participants. The national flag and the national flag pattern shall not be used as signs, decorations, advertisements or patterns of commercial products, and shall not be used as badges, commemorative badges and badges of organs, organizations and schools.
national emblem
The national emblem of China includes the national flag, Tiananmen Square, gears and ears of wheat and rice, symbolizing the birth of a new China led by the working class and based on the alliance of workers and peasants. 1950 in June 18, the second session of the first national Committee of the China people's political consultative conference adopted the pattern of the national emblem of China and its explanation. On September 20th of the same year, President Mao Zedong ordered the announcement of the national emblem of China.
On the eve of the founding of New China, according to the instructions of the CPC Central Committee, Tsinghua University and the Central Academy of Fine Arts set up a national emblem design team. Famous professors and Zhou participated in this group and collected several white national emblem schemes nationwide. After repeated comparisons, it was processed by professors from the Academy of Fine Arts and designed into the current national emblem pattern. In the national emblem, Tiananmen pattern is a symbol of national spirit, and wheat ears symbolize workers and peasants. The five stars on the national flag represent the great unity of the people of the whole country under the leadership of the Communist Party of China.
