Tho Origin Of China,s Flag.

The flag of China is one of the gayest
among ensigns The body of the flag Is
pale yellow. In the upper left hand
corner is small red sun. Looking In
tently at the sun is q fierce Chinese
dragon.
The dragons belly is brilliant red
two hind paws and the left fore foot
The feet arc five toed and slightly HOOK
ed. His long five forked tail stretches
away in the rear. The dragons neck
is arched back His mouth is wide
open, and he looks as If he were about
to try to swallow the red sun.
The Japanese flag has white body,
and in the center is q large red sun,
with rays radiating in all directions.
About l, 900 years ago the Chinese made
war on Japan and prepared q grand in
vasion. To symbolic their anticipated
victory they adopted the flag Of today.
They took the sun Of Japan and mado
it small and put 1t in front Of the drag
on's mouth TO express the idea that the
Chinese dragon would devour the Jap.
anese.
1t happened, however that the Chi
nese feet, conveying an army Of 100, 600
men, was wrecked on its way TO Japan
by great storm, and all but three OF
the 100, 600 persisted. Despite that M
lucky beginning in the use Of the flag
the Chinese retained 1t.
