Rio Olympic Organizing Committee made a big fuss about the Chinese flag. Not only did Rio make the national flag wrong, but even some Chinese people "fall" in this matter.

August 9, Yang Mi posted on Weibo to cheer for Chinese Olympic athletes, but there was a problem with the picture. She immediately deleted the Weibo post in seconds and corrected the picture. But there are still netizens who are reluctant to give in and criticize Yang Mi is not patriotic enough, "even the national flag can be misaligned." (Can you see where the picture of Yang Mi’s national flag is wrong?)
So, the question is
How much do you know about the national flag?

The national flag of the People's Republic of China is a five-star red flag, the flag is red, and the length and width ratio is 3:2. Five yellow five-pointed stars are decorated on the upper left, and four small stars are arched to the right of a big star, and each has a pointed corner facing the center point of the big star. 1. 4 yellow stars are aligned, 2. 3 yellow stars are aligned.
(It can be seen from the comparison here that the national flag in the picture posted by Yang Mi on Weibo has a large deviation in proportional dimensions.)


The national flag manuscript designed by Mr. Zeng
The designer of the national flag of the People's Republic of China is Zeng Liansong, an ordinary citizen from Ruian, Zhejiang. As the Communist Party of China won the Liberation War, the Preparatory Meeting of the New Political Consultative Conference issued a notice to collect national flag patterns in July 1949, and Zeng Liansong designed and submitted his national flag sample. Among the 2992 (some say 3012) flag patterns, Zeng Liansong's design was selected as 38 candidate sketches. After many discussions and a small amount of modifications, his design was chosen as the national flag of New China.
Short story:
The elderly Zeng Liansong wrote a sincere poem "Seven-character verses the Five-Star Red Flag":
Standing on the high tower and the high palace, dancing gracefully on Tiananmen Gate.
The flowers in the peach season are blooming, and the sleeves are blowing through the clouds and clouds.
The clear sky is shaking, and the torrential cold rain is even more visible.
The frost remains bright red, and the road turns to the peak and sees a new sky.

National Flag Ink Line Chart
Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference "Resolution on the Capital, Chronicle, National Anthem, and National Flag of the People's Republic of China" and the flag-making Measures adopted by the Presidium of the CPPCC stipulate that the national flag of the People's Republic of China is a five-star red flag, rectangular, and red symbolizes revolution, with its length and height of three to two. The upper left of the flag is decorated with five yellow five-pointed stars, symbolizing the great unity of revolution under the leadership of the Communist Party, and the stars use yellow to symbolize the light on the red earth. One star is larger, and its outer circle diameter is 3/10 of the flag height, which is on the left; the four stars are smaller, and its outer circle diameter is 1/10 of the flag height, which arches around the right side of the big star, and each has a pointed corner facing the center point of the big star, expressing the hearts of hundreds of millions of people towards the great Communist Party of China, like stars arching the north. The flagpole cover is white, distinguishing it from the red of the flag.
Short story:
On the day when the CPPCC meeting passed the five-star red flag for the national flag of the People's Republic of China, the task of making the first national flag was issued to the Beijing Art Supply Society. The head of this club immediately made a decision, which was made by Master Zhao Wenrui, an ordinary female worker who had good skills and had difficulty living by sewing and washing people in the past.
Master Zhao was not able to find a time to be grateful for the Communist Party of China to liberate her family from the sea of suffering. Therefore, when she accepted the glorious task of sewing the first five-star red flag, she felt extremely happy and proud, and immediately said: "I must carefully sew the red flag on behalf of all the employees of the unit. This is the hope of the whole Chinese people."

The national flag is a symbol of national sovereignty and represents the dignity of the country.
In international exchanges, the national flag will be used in various important occasions according to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations and the bilateral treaty of envoyment between various countries. According to international practice, if the national flag is used incorrectly in public or even artificially damaged, it will lead to serious diplomatic disputes between countries.
Looking back at the "national flag incident" of the Rio Olympics in Brazil, the Chinese Olympic delegation immediately protested to the Rio Olympic Organizing Committee after discovering the national flag error.The Chinese Ambassador to Brazil also negotiated with Pakistan through the Chinese Consul General in Rio. The diplomatic system has continuously made efforts to urge the organizers of the Olympic Games to correct their mistakes, reflecting the principled position of the state at the national level in maintaining national dignity.
For the Chinese sports delegation, in future international competitions, more energy is needed to review the national flag, national emblem and other logos representing the national image to reduce similar misunderstandings. After all, in international occasions, the dignity of the country is nothing small, and it makes a mistake. In the end, it not only makes a joke, but also hurts the feelings of the people of the country.
In the "National Flag Incident", the national flag, which seems to have no direct relationship with people's daily lives, has aroused so much attention online. Internet users from all walks of life actively participated and criticized the Olympic organizers. The strong patriotic enthusiasm reflects the huge improvement of our country's civic consciousness. In front of the national flag, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang. The national flag is a symbol of the country and no mistakes are allowed!
