1. The flag of the Communist Party of China is red with a golden red party emblem. Red symbolizes revolution, and the yellow hammer (hammer) and sickle represent the labor tools of workers and farmers. It symbolizes that the Communist Party of China is the vanguard of the Chinese working class and represents the fundamental interests of the working class and the broad masses of the people. Edit this paragraph The emergence of the flag of the Communist Party of China.
2. When the Communist Party of China was established, the founders of the Communist Party had not had time to consider everything that a new revolutionary party should have, and everything was subject to simple and easy principles. Due to the help and participation of Russian Communists, Soviet flags or portraits of Marx and Lenin are often used at party meetings. When party organizations hold meetings, they need to have their own party flags, but what should their own party flags look like? At that time, the Communist Party of China, as a branch of the Communist International, the party flag naturally had to be consistent with the flag of the proletarian party founded by Lenin, that is, the Soviet flag.
3. Therefore, judging from the style of the flag flown by the Communist Party of China in its early days, its prototype was obviously derived from the flag of the Soviet Union created by Lenin. Therefore, at that time, the Communist Party of China did not have an independent party flag made by itself. Instead, party organizations at all levels imitated the style of the party flag of the United Nations. The specific styles were different, but the basic specifications were similar: upper left The horns are painted with a golden sickle and hammer, and above it is a red flag with a gold-rimmed red five-pointed star.
4. The common interpretation of the meaning of this flag is: the hammer symbolizes the working class, and the sickle symbolizes the peasant class. The combination of the two is the symbol of the worker-peasant alliance and the symbol of the Communist Party. The five-pointed star not only symbolizes the five fingers (labor force) of each hand of workers and farmers, but also represents the slogan "Proletarians of the world unite". Red is the color of revolution, and yellow is the color of revolutionary light.
5. On April 28, 1942, a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held in Yan'an, and a decision was made on the style of the party flag: "The width of the party flag of the Communist Party of China is the ratio of three to two. There is a yellow ax and sickle on the left corner, without a five-pointed star, and the flag background is red. The General Office of the Central Committee was entrusted to make a batch of standard party flags and distribute them to the major organs. "So far, the first batch of standard party flags of the Communist Party of China have been randomly distributed in Yan'an. Birth. The standard party flag produced at that time was stipulated to be red, 120 cm horizontally and 80 cm vertically. In the middle of the upper left corner (a quarter of the flag) was the party emblem pattern consisting of a yellow "axe and sickle" crossed with a diameter of 30 cm. The flagpole cover is white and 6.5 cm wide (the flagpole cover is not included in the dimensions of the entire flag). This is the first time that the Communist Party of China has officially determined the style of the party flag.
6. From July 1921 to April 1942, for 21 years, the pattern on the party flag and emblem appeared both "sickle and axe" and "sickle and hammer" , has always been in a state of flux and irregularity.
7. In the early days of the Communist Party of China, based on the actual national conditions of a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, the design of the party flag and emblem used the "axe" pattern to represent Chinese craftsmen and the "sickle" pattern. The pattern represents farmers. After the founding of the party, due to the influence of the Soviet Union, the patterns on the flag and emblem of the Communist Party of China appeared both "sickle and axe" and "sickle and hammer". For a long period of time during the war years, the party flag and emblem patterns have been in a state of change and irregularity.
8. In April 1933, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to adjust the "axe" pattern in the party flag and emblem to a "hammer" pattern. The Central Revolutionary Military Commission of the Chinese Soviet Union promulgated the "Seal Pattern of the Flags of Soviet Mass Organizations and the Red Army", which detailed changes to the style of the military flag, and issued a pattern of the military flag, stipulating that the upper right corner of the flag should be a There is a five-pointed star with a crossed "scythe and hammer" in the middle of the flag. There are flag whiskers on three sides of the flag. There is a two-inch and three-inch white cloth on the flagpole with the unit number written on it. At the same time, it is stipulated that the five-pointed star and the "scythe and hammer" must be in golden color.
9. This kind of military flag is generally called the "San San Style" military flag. Since then, the flags of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and the flags of the Provisional Central Government of the Chinese Soviet Union and governments at all levels have been changed accordingly.
Due to the frequent wars at that time, the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign in the central base area suffered a disastrous defeat soon, and the Central Red Army was forced to begin a strategic shift. The decision to change the "axe" in the party flag and emblem to "hammer" was not implemented throughout the party and the entire army. implement. So much so that on the Long March and in various base areas in northern Shaanxi, "axe" and "hammer" were still used interchangeably; so much so that the reference to "scythe and axe" still appeared in later central documents of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
