The first national flag in the history of China was Huanglong Banner in the late Qing Dynasty, which was born under the oppression of foreign powers. Before the end of Qing Dynasty, all armies had flags, but no national flag. Huanglong Banner, the "Red Pearl of Huanglong Opera" banner, was used in the late Qing Dynasty (1888~ 19 12). At first, the yellow dragon flag was triangular, not a formal flag. It is mainly used by official ships and navy to distinguish foreign ships. Private ships were not allowed to fly, and some foreign-related officials began to fly the triangular yellow dragon flag.

1888, the first official flag was born in the history of China, that is, the rectangular flag of "Blue Dragon Playing Red Pearl with Yellow Background". 191265438+1October 10, the Qing court fell, and the Huanglong flag was replaced by the five-color flag of the Republic of China.

History of the national flag:

188 1 year (the seventh year of Guangxu), two cruisers, Yangwei and Chaoyong, which were ordered in Britain, returned to China, and the flags at that time were triangular yellow dragon flags. It is also recorded in the Constitution of Beiyang Navy:

According to western countries, there are national flags, warship flags and merchant flags. And the national flag is different from soldiers and businessmen. Generally speaking, the square length is the most important flag type, followed by the oblique length. In the fifth year of Tongzhi, the Foreign Affairs Office of the Prime Minister initially set the national flag of China, the yellow oblique, and the Chinese painting Feilong, which were used to hire ships to catch thieves, but it was not clearly determined as the national flag in ten thousand years.

Now the number of military merchant ships in China is increasing day by day, and it is time to hand them over to other countries, so it is necessary to redefine the flag type and adopt a special system. The flag of the warship should be changed to a long one, or yellow, with a blue dragon painted on it. The flag of every land camp is the same.
