Labels: archaic, historical Example: Just as the rainbow in the blue skies, after a rainstorm, testifies to the existence of imperishable sunshine in the higher firmament, so this rainbow flag of China, born in the throes of the Chinese Revolution, is a standing proof of our abiding faith in democratic government […] Example: […] but each Chinese patriot following me will bear, as I bear before you my beloved Chinese rainbow flag, which has come to its life because of the Stars and Stripes.
