Before, I contacted and wrote several articles about the meaning of the national flag of Southeast Asian countries. Today, I will tell you about Indonesia, a foodie country in Southeast Asia. The foodie level is very high. The Indonesian flag means two kinds of foodies.
brown sugar and white rice
Indonesian flag is also known as Honor Red and White, and is a flag composed of two horizontal bands of red and white. Indonesians traditionally use red (symbol sugar) and white (symbol rice) as sacred colors, which really highlights the nature of Indonesian foodies, and they are still the most important foods for Indonesians to this day. Manzhe Boyi 's flag consists of nine red and white horizontal bars, which may also be used in this sense. In Indonesia there is also a song called "Red and White" praising the national flag.
This flag is designed based on the banner of Manzhe Boyi in the 13th century. It rose for the first time on August 17, 1945. No changes have been made since then. Among them, red represents courage and human body, while white represents purity and human spiritual world. The combination of the two forms a complete person.
There are many statements about the origin of this flag. One is that the red and white colors are the color matching of the ancient Manzhe Boyi Empire. Another theory is that the anti-Dutch colonists tore off the blue piece of the Dutch red, white and blue flag symbolizing the royal family as a symbol of resistance to Dutch rule. The main reason is that the blue in the Dutch flag represents the "blue blood" of the nobles. Red represents the War of Independence, and white represents purity. Regardless of the origin, this flag was forbidden during the Dutch colonial era.
Because the national flag is too simple, it is often confused with Monaco , Poland, Bohemia , and Singapore flag .
