National Emblem The National Emblem of the PRC
features Tiananmen Gate beneath the five shining stars, encircled by ears of
grain and with a cogwheel at the bottom. The ears of grain, stars, Tiananmen and
cogwheel are gold; the field within the circle is red, as are the ribbons
festooning the bottom of the circle. These two colors traditionally represent
auspiciousness and happiness.
Tiananmen symbolizes the unyielding spirit of the Chinese people in their fight against imperialism and feudalism; the cogwheel and ears of grain represent the working class and the peasantry respectively; the five stars stand for the great unity of the Chinese people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC). |
