​CHIN Tê-ch'un 金德純 (T. 素公), scholar, was a native of Liaoyang, attached to the Chinese Plain Red Banner. Through his close relations with Li Kung [q. v.] he became associated with the philosophical school of Yen Yüan [q. v.]. In 1715 he wrote an account of the organization and discipline of the Eight Banners, in 1 chüan, entitled 旗軍志 Ch'i-chün chih. It appears in the Hsüeh-hai lei-pien, printed in 1831 (see under Ts'ao Jung), and in the second series of the 昭代叢書 Chao-tai ts'ung-shu.

​CHIN Pao 金堡 (T. 衛公, 道隱, H. 澹歸, monastic names 性因, 今釋), 1614–1680, Sept. 1 (Jan. 17, 1681?), Ming official, writer, and Buddhist priest, was a native of Jên-ho (Hangchow). A chin-shih of 1640, he was made department magistrate of Lin-ch'ing, Shantung, but was dismissed in the same year for failure to collect his quota of taxes. He was recommended for reinstatement, but before this was effected, Peking fell and he returned to his native district to bury his mother. In 1645, when the Manchus captured Hangchow, he raised a local army to resist them and his services brought him to the attention of the Ming Prince of T'ang (see under Chu Yü-chien) who appointed him a supervising censor. He defied and incurred the wrath of Chêng Chih-lung [q. v.] and was dismissed (1646). In 1647 he visited Chu Yu-lang [q. v.] at Chao-ch'ing, Kwangtung, and was again made supervising censor. Fearless in his criticism of officials, regardless of their rank or power, he soon occupied a powerful position in the turbulent and faction-ridden court. When Li Yüan-yin 李元胤, adopted son of Li Ch'êng-tung [q. v.], was nominally in power, a contemporary cartoon represented Chin Pao as a composite tiger (五虎) of which he formed the teeth and four other officials other parts of the tiger's body. Chin so monopolized the Court that the prince was obliged to build a separate audience hall in which to receive other officials.
In 1650, after Chu Yu-lang had fled to Wu-chou, enemies of Chin Pao joined in bringing charges of usurpation of power against him. Subjected to a severe third degree, he was tortured nearly to death. Crippled in body and politically ruined, he was sentenced to banishment to Ch'ing-lang-wei, Kweichow, but he never reached his place of exile, for after stopping at Kweilin, Kwangsi, to convalesce, he entered the Buddhist priesthood. His last political act was an impassioned plea to K'ung Yu-tê [q. v.] for decent disposal of the bodies of his ill-fated colleagues of the Ming Court. He devoted himself to Buddhist works and by 1663 had raised funds and built the Pieh-ch'uan Monastery in the Tan-hsia 丹霞 hills, Jên-hua-hsien, Kwangtung. To buy a set of the Tripitaka for his monastery, he went in 1678 to P'ing-hu, Chekiang, where he died. His collected essays and poems, 徧行堂集 Pien-hsing-t'ang chi, in 49 chüan, with a supplement (hsü-chi) in 16 chüan, was banned in 1776, but a complete copy is now preserved in the National Library of Peiping. His numerous other works are not available.

​CHIN Chih-chün 金之俊 (T. 豈凡, H. 息齋), 1593–1670, Ming-Ch'ing official, was a native of Wu-chiang, Kiangsu. He became a chin-shih in 1619 and under the Ming dynasty reached the office of junior vice-president of the Board of War. When Li Tzŭ-ch'êng [q. v.] took Peking in 1644 Chin endured torture, but in the same ​year submitted to the Manchu conquerors and was given his former official post. In 1648 he was made president of the Board of Works and in 1653 president of the Censorate. In March 1654 he was appointed a Grand Secretary. In the following year he asked leave to retire on account of illness but the Emperor, instead of granting the request, sent a painter to make his portrait. In 1658 he was made concurrently president of the Board of Civil Office, and collaborated in fixing the code of laws. In 1659 he was given the titles of Grand Guardian and Grand Tutor of the Heir Apparent, and in the following year that of Grand Tutor. He was permitted to retire in 1662 on account of age.
Though his official and personal character were attacked after his return home, and the title of Grand Tutor revoked in consequence, his recorded official acts seem to have been in the interests of the common people—lightening the burden of taxation and relieving from punishment the families of offenders. He was given the posthumous name, Wên-t'ung 文通. He left 10 chüan of works in prose and poetry which were printed in 1649, under the title 息齋集 Hsi-chai chi, together with a supplement in 4 chüan of memorials to the throne and a chronological autobiography in one chüan.
For his relations with Adam Schall see under Yang Kuang-hsien.

​CHIN Shêng-huan 金聲桓 (T. 虎臣), d. Mar. 1, 1649, soldier under both the Ming and Ching dynasties, was a native of Liaotung. He was a brigade-general under the Ming general, Huang Lung 黃龍, when the latter was defeated and killed in 1633 by the Manchus at Lü-shun, Liaotung. His wife and son were taken captive, but he himself managed to escape and join the forces of Tso Liang-yü [q. v.], in Honan. In 1645, as a subordinate of Tso Mêng-kêng (see under Tso Liang-yü), he surrendered to the Ch'ing general, Ajige [q. v.], at Kiukiang, offered his services to the new dynasty, and was appointed general-in-chief of Kiangsi, specially charged with the suppression of Ming loyalists. He subjugated the whole of Kiangsi province without the help of Manchu troops, and these successful operations against the southern Ming were acknowledged with imperial honors. His family was released, but his demand for wide discretionary powers in civil and military affairs was regarded by the Boards at Peking as presumptious. He ​made an almost regal court of his military headquarters at Nanchang, and entertained Taoist magicians who nursed his growing resentment against the Manchus. His subordinate, Wang Tê-jên 王得仁, nicknamed Wang the Piebald 王雜毛, a former follower of Li Tzŭ-ch'êng [q. v.], encouraged his feeling that his services required a marquisate.
In 1648 Chin rebelled, killed the governor, and declared allegiance to Chu Yu-lang [q. v.] who confirmed on him his self-conferred title, Duke Yü-kuo 豫國公. He utilized the services of Chiang Yüeh-kuang [q. v.] who three years previously had quarreled with Ma Shih-ying [q. v.] and had left the court of Chu Yu-sung [q. v.] at Nanking. Failing in his attempt to take Kan-chou, he was besieged at Nanchang by the Manchu commander, Tantai (see under Yanggûri). This siege Chin withstood for eleven months, but when the city fell (March 1, 1649) he was wounded by an arrow and drowned himself in a pond east of the city wall. The posthumous title, Prince of Nanchang 南昌王, and the name, Chuang-wu 壯武, were conferred by the Ming court. His associate, Wang Tê-jên, was captured and killed.

Republic of the Philippines Office of the President Manila
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES
Executive Order No. 17
Whereas, section 1 of Article IX of the Constitution provides that "the Flag of the Republic of the Philippines shall be red, white and blue, with a sun and three stars, as consecrated and honored by the Filipino people";
Whereas, Act Numbered Two thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight of the former Philippine Legislature describes the construction of the Flag but does not prescribe the necessary specifications of its different elements; and
Whereas, for the purpose of securing uniformity in making the Flag, it is necessary to adopt definite rules on the matter, in line with the provisions of the Constitution and Act Numbered Two thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight;
Now, therefore, by virtue of the powers conferred upon me by law, I, Jose P. Laurel, President of the Republic of the Philippines, do hereby promulgate and order that the following specifications for the Flag of the Republic of the Philippines be strictly observed:
1. The length of the flag is twice the altitude of the equilateral triangle.
2. Any side of the equilateral triangle is as long as the width of the flag.
3. Solid golden sunburst without any markings—Sun with eight rays, equally spaced; Arc X with Sun ray = Free Arc y; two opposite rays in horizontal axis and two in vertical axis; Sun's diameter D = W/5; each ray has one major beam, twice as broad as the minor beam on either side; length of major beam R = 5/9 D; length of minor beam r = 4/5 R. (See accompanying illustration.)
4. Three five-pointed golden stars of equal size, each star with one point directed to the vertex of the angle enclosing it; diameter of circumscribed circle of each star = 5/9 D; diameter of inscribed circle of each star = 2/9 D; distance from each corner = D/2.
5. Canvas-trimmed edge to the left of the triangle is approximately D/5 wide = not counted in measuring length of flag.
6. Flags made of silk will be trimmed on three edges with a knotted fringe of yellow silk D/5 wide.
Done in the City of Manila, this thirteenth day of December, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-three, and of the Republic of the Philippines, the first.
