The party flag is the flag representing a political party.The party flag of the Communist Party of China is a red flag with a golden party emblem on its surface, which is the symbol and symbol of the Communist Party of China.
The party flag of the Communist Party of China is a red flag with a golden party emblem on its surface.The emblem of the Communist Party of China is composed of a sickle and a hammer.[1]Issued by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee on September 21, 1996《Provisions on The Making And Use of The Party Flag And Party Emblem of The Communist Party of China》, officially set the party flag standard: "The party flag of the Communist Party of China is a red flag with a golden party emblem on its surface."[1]
The party flag of the Communist Party of China is one of the symbols and symbols of the party.The party flag we see today has not existed since the founding of the party. It has taken a long time to grow from scratch to its finalization, and its process is closely related to the history of the party's development and growth.
In the early days of the founding of the Communist Party of China, local party organizations imitated the style of the flag of the Russian Communist Party (Bolshevik) and used sickles and axes as symbols, with different specifications and styles.From the first Kuomintang Communist cooperation to the Nanchang Uprising, because of the requirements of the situation, the Communist Party of China played the flag of the Kuomintang.After the failure of the Great Revolution, Mao Zedong repeatedly stressed at the August 7th Conference and other occasions: "The flag of the Kuomintang has become the flag of the warlords, and only the flag of the Communist Party is the flag of the people." "We should not fight the flag of the Kuomintang anymore, we should fight the flag of the Communist Party high".
In September 1927, Mao Zedong proposed in the Autumn Harvest Uprising at the border of Hunan and Jiangxi that the banner of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army should be played and He Changgong should be responsible for the design.This flag is made of bright red cloth, with a yellow five pointed star sewn in the center, a sickle and an axe in the center, and the words "First Division of the First Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army" are written on the white flag cover.Since then, our party and army have their own flags.
On October 15, 1927, the joint meeting of the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China and the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee adopted the 14th Notice of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China: Recent Work Program, which clearly pointed out that "the blue and white flag should be abolished, and the red flag should be used instead, marked by axes and sickles." It basically framed the outline and elements of the party flag.In April 1933, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to change the "axe" pattern in the party flag and party emblem to the "hammer" pattern.Due to frequent wars, this decision could not be fully implemented.Since then, there has been a mixed use of "axe" and "hammer" in the expression, production and use of the party flag.In April 1945, the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was held in Yan'an, and the six party flags were dazzling.This is the first time that our Party has hung its flag at the National Congress.
After the founding of New China, Yang Shangkun, then Director of the General Office of the Central Committee, was very concerned about the issue of the Party flag.In June 1950, he wrote to Liu Shaoqi about the party flag, and attached three sets of party flag patterns and descriptions.In the same year, the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China drew up a plan for the production of the party flag: "The flag is red and rectangular, with a length ratio of three to two in height. The top left of the flag is decorated with a yellow sickle and ax, and the flagpole is covered with white." Since then, due to the continuous political movements, there has been no formal unified regulations on the standardized style of the party flag.
It was not until the reform and opening up that the issue of the Party flag was put back on the agenda.On September 21, 1996, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued Several Provisions on the Production and Use of the Party Flag and Party Emblem, which formally set the party flag norms: "The party flag of the Communist Party of China is a red flag with a golden party emblem on its surface. The party emblem of the Communist Party of China is a pattern composed of sickles and hammerheads." Since then, the party flag of the Communist Party of China has had a unified and clear norm.In November 2002, the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China adopted《Constitution of the Communist Party of China》It is specially written in the chapter of "Party Emblem and Party Flag" to clearly define the nature, production and use of the logo of the Party Emblem and Party Flag.[1][3]
Issued by the CPC Central Committee on June 26, 2021《Regulations on the Party Emblem and Flag of the Communist Party of China》。The Regulations is the first basic main regulation on the Party emblem and the Party flag in the history of our Party, and is the basic compliance of the production, use and management of the Party emblem and the Party flag.The Regulations take the Party Constitution as the fundamental principle, inherit existing good practices, absorb new practical experience, and comprehensively regulate the work of the Party emblem and the Party flag.The formulation and implementation of the Regulations are of great significance for giving full play to the political function of the Party emblem and the Party flag, enhancing the Party's cohesion and combat effectiveness, stimulating the Party members' and the Party's awareness, encouraging the whole Party to remember its original intention, remember its mission, strengthen its ideals and beliefs, and unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups across the country to march forward bravely under the Party's banner.[5]
