The large star represents the Communist Party Program with the subservient other four stars representing the 4 classes in Chinese Society which are to participate in the ongoing revolution: peasantry, workers, capitalists and the bourgeoisie.

The white signifies purity and blue represents the wish for peace and friendship The South Koreans have highly philosophical flag called Taegeukgi. The circle in the centre of the flag signifies the Taoist symbol of harmony and continual movement between opposites - yin and yang. The upper red section represents the positive cosmic forces of the yang (male, heaven etc.). Conversely, the blue lower half represents the negative cosmic forces of the yin (female, earth etc.). The two forces together characterise the sphere of infinity. The circle is surrounded by three lines called trigram, one in each corner. Trigrams are adopted from the classical book of Chinese thought - Book of Change. Each of the trigrams symbolises one of the four universal elements: heaven (upper left) earth (down left), fire (down right) and water (upper right). The white background of the flag for its part expresses Confucian purity and/or Buddhist concept of emptiness
