China(Adopted at the Eighth Meeting of the Central People's Government Council
on June 28, 1950)
Caption: Comprising the National Flag, Tian'an men, a cogwheel and ears of
wheat and rice, the National Emblem symbolizes the new-democratic revolutionary
struggle waged by the Chinese people since the May 4th Movement in 1919, as well
as the birth of the New China under the people's democratic dictatorship led by
the working class and based on the alliance of workers and peasants.
Appendix II: Directions for the Making of the Design of the National Emblem
of the People's Republic of China(Promulgated by the General Office of the
Central Government Council on September 20, 1950)
1. Two bunches of wheat and rice form a round ring. A cogwheel is placed
where the wheat and rice stems cross at the base. Red ribbon forms a knot in the
centre of the cogwheel. The red ribbon coils up the wheat and rice on the left
and right of the cogwheel and hangs down, dividing the cogwheel into an upper
and a lower part.
2. If a vertical straight line is drawn in the centre of the design, the
left and the right parts thereof are completely symmetrical.
3. The positions and measurements of the various parts of the design may be
enlarged or reduced to the scale of the squared ink line sketch.
4. If a relief sculpture is made, the height of the various parts may be
magnified or lessened to the scale of the sectional drawing.
5. The National Emblem is in red and gold: the wheat and rice, the five
stars, Tian'an men and the cogwheel are in gold, the base of the part within the
round ring and the hanging ribbon are in red; the red is pure red (the same as
the National Flag), the gold is pure gold (light and bright)。
