People's Republic of China, 1949

People's Republic of China, 1949

The national flag of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) features a red field with five golden stars: one large star, with four smaller stars in an arc set off towards the fly. It was first hoisted on Beijing’s Tiananmen Square on 1 October 1949, when the PRC was proclaimed. The red background symbolises the Chinese Communist Revolution, and the five stars and their relationship represents the unity of the Chinese people under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The large star symbolises the CCP, and the four smaller stars surrounding it represent the four social classes of China’s New Democracy mentioned in Mao’s “On the People’s Democratic Dictatorship”: the working class, the peasantry, the urban petite bourgeoisie, and the national bourgeoisie.
