The meaning of the national emblem National Emblem of the People's Republic of China is a badge representing the country and a symbol of the nation. Only some important national documents can take effect with the national emblem. National Emblem of the People's Republic of China 1, National Emblem of the People's Republic of China's brief introduction National Emblem of the People's Republic of China's contents are the national flag, Tiananmen Square, gears and ears of wheat and rice (the national flag and Tiananmen Square symbolize the country, gears symbolize the working class, and ears of wheat and rice symbolize the peasant class), which symbolizes the new democratic revolutionary struggle of the China people since the May 4th Movement and the birth of the new China of the people's democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the workers' and peasants' alliance. 1950 in June 18, the second session of the first national Committee of China people's political consultative conference adopted the National Emblem of the People's Republic of China pattern and its explanation. On September 20th of the same year, President Mao Zedong ordered the announcement of National Emblem of the People's Republic of China. 1September, 954, the first session of the first national people's congress and article 105 of the constitution of People's Republic of China (PRC), which was adopted, stipulated: "There is Tiananmen Square in the middle of National Emblem of the People's Republic of China, which is illuminated by five stars, surrounded by ears of grain and gears." All subsequent constitutions have confirmed this. 199 1 On March 2, 2008, the Law of the People's Republic of China on the National Emblem was adopted at the18th meeting of the Standing Committee of the Seventh National People's Congress of People's Republic of China (PRC) NPC, and was promulgated by President People's Republic of China (PRC). Since June 20 1 1 kloc. In the middle of National Emblem of the People's Republic of China is Tiananmen Square under the five-star light, surrounded by ears of grain and gears. Ears of wheat and rice, five stars, Tiananmen Square and gears are golden, and the foundation and vertical line in the ring are red. In China, gold and red are traditional colors symbolizing good luck and celebration. Tiananmen Square symbolizes the indomitable national spirit of the people of China against imperialism and feudalism. The ears of wheat and rice symbolize the working class and the peasant class; The five stars represent the people's unity under the leadership of China! 2. National Emblem The birth of National Emblem of the People's Republic of China is a national symbol. The design and use of the national emblem is stipulated by the Constitution or special laws. When the national emblem is hung directly above the gates of government agencies at all levels or above the rostrum of the venue, everyone will feel that it is so noble and solemn; People feel so dignified and beautiful when they see China athletes who have won honor for their motherland standing on the podium wearing sportswear decorated with the national emblem to greet the audience, and deeply feel how proud and happy they are as a China person ... How was the glittering National Emblem of the People's Republic of China born? Accurately speaking, the national emblem is the result of collective creation and the crystallization of the collective wisdom of many experts and scholars. 1949 In July, in order to welcome the establishment of the new China, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Preparatory Committee published a notice on soliciting the national flag, national emblem and national anthem in People's Daily, clearly stating the design requirements of the national emblem: First, it should have China characteristics; Second, we must have the characteristics of political power; Third, the form should be solemn and rich. People from all walks of life all over the country have devoted themselves to this historic work. At the same time, under the order of the Central Committee, the Tsinghua University Construction Department and the National Beiping Academy of Art (1950 changed to the Central Academy of Fine Arts), which are responsible for collecting the drawings of the national emblem, both set up the national emblem design team. As of August 20th, 1949, we have received a total of 900 national emblem manuscripts 1 12 from Chinese at home and abroad. Although these manuscripts and patterns have their own characteristics, they all have shortcomings, so they have not been adopted. Therefore, at the plenary session of the CPPCC in late September, 1949 only adopted the national flag scheme and the lyrics of the national anthem, but did not announce the national emblem scheme. Later, the first Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference decided to invite the Construction Department of Teachers' College and the Central Academy of Fine Arts to organize the manpower design of the national emblem respectively. Among them, the National Emblem Design Group of Tsinghua University Architecture Department is headed by Professor Liang Sicheng, a famous Chinese architect and head of the Department of Architecture, and its members include Mr. Liang Sicheng's wife, architect Lin, Fensafin painter Li Zongjin, China architectural expert Mo, architectural design teachers Zhu, Hu Yunjing, and scholar-bureaucrat Luo who studies ancient Chinese architecture. The National Emblem Design Group of the Central Academy of Fine Arts consists of famous artists and professors, Zhou and Zhou. In order to hang the new national emblem on the National Day of 1950, the experts and scholars of the two design groups carefully scrutinized and repeatedly studied various ideas and ideas. Mr. Liang Sicheng and Mr. Lin took part in the design work despite their illness. With great excitement, everyone is determined to come up with the best design and win glory for the motherland. According to the requirements put forward by the National Flag and National Emblem Examination Group of China People's Political Consultative Conference and the opinions put forward by people from all walks of life, the two national emblem design groups have compared all the design schemes, and finally determined that the national emblem pattern has the following contents: the theme is gears, ears of wheat, five stars and ribbons, reflecting the great unity of the workers and peasants alliance regime under the leadership of China and the people of the whole country. Tiananmen Square is designed as a part of the theme to represent the birthplace of the May 4th Democratic Movement and the birthplace of New China, and Tiananmen Square is a symbol of the national spirit. Who proposed to draw the ears of wheat and rice on our national emblem into the design of the national emblem? /kloc-in the winter of 0/942, a cold wind blew in the mountain city of Chongqing. Comrade Soong Ching Ling held a tea party in her apartment to send Comrade Dong back to Yan 'an. Comrade Zhou Enlai and Comrade Deng were also invited to attend. On the coffee table stood two strings of full ears sent by farmers in the suburbs of Chongqing, which were red by the fire. At this time, some people praised the ears of grain as gold. Soong Ching Ling said, "It is more precious than gold. Eighty percent of the population in China are farmers. If there is a bumper harvest every year, the people can have plenty of food and clothing. " Comrade Zhou Enlai stroked the full ears of grain and said meaningfully, "When the whole country is liberated, we will paint the ears of grain on the national emblem." Sure enough, after the national liberation, he did not forget his speech at the tea party. When making National Emblem of the People's Republic of China patterns, he suggested drawing ears of wheat and rice. In addition to determining the above contents, two national emblem design teams, Tsinghua design team, also decided to use red and gold in the design color based on the requirements of "China characteristics": red reflects the national color tradition of auspicious birthday and celebration in China, and gold reflects luxury and wealth. Gold and red alternate with each other and set each other off, adding to the magnificent color of the pattern. In order to make the national emblem more solemn in form, the Tsinghua design team decided to draw Tiananmen Square as the front elevation, cover the motherland with the five-star red flag symbolizing the China regime as the sky background, and erect it on the central axis of the national emblem pattern, which is symmetrical from left to right, so as to reflect the majestic temperament of the Chinese nation. In terms of modeling, the two design teams also referred to the national emblem patterns of various countries in the design process, and studied and used for reference the decorative patterns and technological effects of China's ancient ceremonial cultural relics such as bronze mirrors, jade jade and Yuhuan. After nearly half a year's efforts, the two groups of experts and scholars repeatedly compared and carefully studied dozens of design patterns, and each completed a pattern that they thought was the most satisfactory. 1On the evening of June 20th, 950, the National Emblem Review Group of China People's Political Consultative Conference discussed the National Emblem Scheme for the last time, and Comrade Zhou Enlai personally presided over the discussion. That night, the floor plans of Tsinghua University Design Group and Central Academy of Fine Arts Design Group were hung on the left and right walls respectively. In the pattern designed by the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Tiananmen Square is a colorful oblique perspective image; In the design of Tsinghua Group, Tiananmen Square is the facade, with gold and red alternating. Premier Zhou Enlai listened carefully to the reports of all members of the judging panel. Finally, according to the opinions of most members such as Li Siguang, Zhang Xiruo and Shao Lizi, he pointed to the scheme designed by Tsinghua Group and said, "OK, that's settled!" The meeting unanimously adopted Premier Zhou's conclusion. Subsequently, according to Premier Zhou Enlai's opinion on the modeling of rice ears, the design team of Tsinghua worked day and night to revise the details, redraw the whole map and send it to the national emblem review team. On June 2 1, the evaluation teams Ma Xulun and Shen Yanbing submitted their evaluation reports to the CPPCC plenary session. On June 23rd, the plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference unanimously adopted the national emblem scheme. On June 28th, the Central People's Government adopted the design scheme of the national emblem proposed by CPPCC. Finally, the famous sculptor Gao Zhuang undertook the further modification, processing and shaping of the official relief model of the national emblem. After nearly two and a half months of hard work, by mid-September, Gaozhuang completed this historic task in time. 1950 On September 20th, Chairman Mao Zedong of the Central People's Government issued an order to announce the national emblem to the whole country. From then on, the solemn and beautiful national emblem of China was born. The national emblem of our country clearly shows the nature of our country. It marks the victory of the China people's new-democratic revolutionary struggle since the May 4th Movement and the birth of the new China of the people's democratic dictatorship led by the working class based on the workers-peasants alliance. China's new-democratic revolution began in the May 4th Movement and won a great victory in 1949, establishing People's Republic of China (PRC). Tiananmen Square is the birthplace of the May 4th Movement, and it is also the place for grand gathering when New China was founded. It is very appropriate to use the Tiananmen pattern as a symbol of the new national spirit. The ears of wheat and rice symbolize the working class and the peasant class, and the five stars on the national flag represent the great unity of the people of China under the leadership of China, which clearly shows that the nature of the new China is a socialist country under the people's democratic dictatorship based on the alliance of workers and peasants led by the working class. The national emblem is a national symbol, representing the dignity of our great socialist motherland-People's Republic of China (PRC). Therefore, we must respect and cherish the national emblem. 3. The design and completion of the national emblem designer Gao Zhuang's national emblem is the crystallization of collective wisdom and the embodiment of the people's will. Condensed the efforts of many designers; Full of their love for China, their yearning for socialism and their deep affection for new China. Everyone who participates in the design of the national emblem will live in the beautiful memory of the people of China forever. 1On August 28th, 949, when the State Council called experts and scholars from all walks of life to discuss the design of the national emblem, Gao Zhuang, who participated in the design of the national emblem, said at the meeting: "When shaping the national emblem, I have a wish, that is, to make our national emblem more solemn, clearer, healthier, stronger, more stylized and more unified, and to give it a higher national spirit and the spirit of the times. Gao Zhuang's ardent desire represents the voice of all the people in China. 1950 The national emblem pattern officially promulgated on September 20 fully reflects the wishes and aspirations of the people of the whole country. It is not easy to make a three-dimensional model of a plane national emblem sculpture that has been deliberated and approved by the CPPCC General Assembly. The design of the national emblem of this aircraft was based on hundreds of design schemes publicly collected by the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Preparatory Committee, and passed the design competition of experts and scholars from two national emblem design groups, Tsinghua University and Central Academy of Fine Arts. Finally, the design scheme of Tsinghua University Design Group was approved by the review group of China People's Political Consultative Conference. It is of course an arduous and glorious task to use Gaozhuang sculpture as a three-dimensional model of the national emblem for this plane pattern that has condensed the painstaking efforts of countless people. After Gao Zhuang accepted the task, he first carefully studied the pattern of the national emblem of the aircraft and found that there were still many shortcomings. For example, in the original picture, the rice straw bends outward and hangs messy; The ribbon of the red ribbon lacks context and has the feeling that the city wall is not straight. Gao Zhuang believes that giving the national emblem a higher national spirit and spirit of the times is the guiding ideology of the revision work, and the materials that constitute the national emblem, such as the national flag, Tiananmen Square, gears, rice and wheat, and red ribbons, are all stipulated by the central government. How to use these materials to form patterns and use them to express spiritual images and artistic effects can be fully utilized by artists. With this belief, Gao Zhuang repeatedly conceived and carefully compared. He put rice and wheat side by side on the branches, giving them different personalities of combining rigidity with softness, symbolizing the unity and coexistence of all ethnic groups in China and the prosperity of the Chinese nation. Red ribbons are regularly inserted in it, echoing the Tiananmen Wall, giving people a strong and steady impression. Other places have also made some changes, such as the size of Tiananmen Square, the position of China's watch, the distance between the five-pointed stars on the national flag and so on. In a word, the revised national emblem pattern is unified with local changes, solemn in form, natural and beautiful, and fully embodies the spirit of the Chinese nation and the spirit of the times. In the process of modifying the pattern of the national emblem and shaping the three-dimensional model of the national emblem, Gao Zhuang consulted a lot of materials and bought a Buddha statue and several bronze mirrors of Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties as reference. In order to make the national emblem more perfect and spectacular, he put the plaster model of the national emblem together with the original plane pattern, so that people could compare comments, listen to opinions and constantly modify it to perfection. Gaozhuang still treasures the plaster national emblem model made that year. Gao Zhuang has made great achievements in arts and crafts, and his woodcut and sketch skills have won the appreciation of Mr. Xu Beihong, a master of fine arts. For decades, he has trained a large number of artistic talents with both ability and political integrity for the motherland and made due contributions to arts and crafts education in China. When Professor Gao Zhuang was 80 years old, he once wrote a poem to express his ambition: the old cow and the old man are willing to bury their heads and work hard step by step without asking for compensation. The grass is growing, and the bones are willing to enter the hands of artists. This poem reflects the endless valuable spirit of this artist who has made outstanding contributions to the people. 4. Color of the national emblem You can find many national emblems by searching "National Emblem of the People's Republic of China Pictures" on Google or Baidu, but the colors of these national emblems are not consistent (mainly "golden red" and "yellow red"). The colors of the national emblem are different, which is related to the provisions of the National Emblem Law of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the National Emblem Law). 199 1 On March 2nd, the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) enacted the National Emblem Law. On the 4th of the same month, People's Daily published the National Emblem Law (text), and on the 5th, it published its annex. The National Emblem Law was published in the Bulletin of the Standing Committee of People's Republic of China (PRC) NPC published by the General Office of the NPC Standing Committee on June 5th. There are fifteen articles in the text of the national emblem law. The second article is divided into two paragraphs. The first paragraph is "National Emblem of the People's Republic of China, with Tiananmen Square in the middle and ears of grain and gears around it." The second paragraph reads: "National Emblem of the People's Republic of China was made according to the National Emblem of the People's Republic of China Pattern adopted by the Central People's Government Committee 1950 and the National Emblem of the People's Republic of China Pattern Making Instructions published by the General Office of the Central People's Government Committee. "The National Emblem Law has Annexes I and II. Attachment 1 is the National Emblem of the People's Republic of China Pattern (hereinafter referred to as the National Emblem Pattern) and the National Emblem of the People's Republic of China Pattern Making Instructions (hereinafter referred to as the Making Instructions), and attachment 2 is the Decision of the NPC Standing Committee on Punishing the Crime of Insulting the National Emblem of National Flag of the People's Republic of China. The pattern of the national emblem was adopted by the eighth meeting of the Central People's Government Committee on June 28th, 1950, including the pattern of the national emblem and its explanation: "The content of the national emblem is the national flag, Tiananmen Square, gears and ears of wheat and rice, symbolizing the new democratic revolutionary struggle of the China people since the May 4th Movement and the birth of the new China of the people's democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the workers-peasants alliance. "The national emblem design in" National Emblem Design "is plain (no color) and has been almost omitted in books, newspapers, television, internet and other media. This pattern can be found in People's Daily 199 1 on March 5, and in the Bulletin of the Standing Committee of People's Republic of China (PRC) NPC and 15 in the same month. National defense education > national flag, national emblem and national anthem exhibition (figure) > the first exhibition hall: historical trust (figure)] can also be seen. The production instructions were issued by the General Office of the Central People's Government Committee on September 20th, 1950. Explain that Article 5 reads as follows: "The national emblem is painted in gold and red: Maimi, Wuxing, Tiananmen Square, the gear is gold, and the foundation and vertical line in the ring are red; Red is red (like the national flag), and gold is big red gold (shiny gold). "It can be seen that the second paragraph of Article 2 of the National Emblem Law stipulates that the national emblem should be made according to the national emblem pattern and the production instructions of 1950, which cannot guarantee the unification of the colors of the national emblem. The design of the national emblem states that "the contents of the national emblem are the national flag, Tiananmen Square, gears, ears of wheat and rice", and the coloring of the national emblem is inseparable from "yellow and red". This is because the national flag of China is a five-star red flag (the national flag is red and there are five yellow five-pointed stars on the upper left). See the Note on Making the National Flag published by the Presidium of the First Plenary Session of the China People's Political Consultative Conference on September 28th (1949), and its color is "yellow-red". The national emblem made by the portal website of the Central People's Government is based on the national emblem pattern (see the homepage of the portal website of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China > General Situation of China > National Emblem). The "golden red" mentioned in the production instructions is obviously different from the "yellow red". " Wheat and rice, five stars, Tiananmen Square and gears are golden, and the foundation and suspension in the ring are red; The statement that red is true red (the same as the national flag) and gold is big red gold (shining gold) shows that only red is the same as the red of the national flag (the surface of the national flag), and gold is big red gold (shining gold), which is different from the yellow of the national flag (five stars). Therefore, the color of the national emblem made according to the production instructions must be different from that made according to the national emblem pattern. Because the production instructions published by the General Office of the Central People's Government Committee are different from the national emblem patterns adopted by the Central People's Government Committee, there is no "standard answer" to the color of the national emblem, and people can only color the national emblem according to their own opinions when making the national emblem. In this way, the national emblem of "golden red" and "yellow red" came into being. It can be seen that the color of the national emblem should be the same, and the national emblem law should be revised and improved. No matter whether the revised national emblem law stipulates that the color of the national emblem is "yellow red" or "golden red", the national emblem law should draw the color pattern of the national emblem. After all, it is difficult to explain the color of the national emblem only by words. Take "gold is pure red gold (shiny gold)" as an example. Because people have different understandings of it, the "gold" produced is also poor.
