今天上課的內容是關於各國國旗.作為唯一的一個中國學生,我很榮幸的向全班同學介紹了中國的國旗.但是上了這節課後,才意識到我們的國旗遠遠未能展示我們這個有著五千年文化的民族的特點.
"
The national flag of the People's Republic of China is red in color, rectangular in shape, with five stars. The proportion between the length and height of the flag is three to two. The five five-pointed yellow stars are located in the upper left corner. One of them, which is bigger, appears on the left, while the other four hem it in on the right. The big one represents the Communist Party of China and the four small ones the people of all ethnic groups of the country. One point of the big star points right up the flag and of the four small ones each has a point pointing towards the centre of the big star. The relationship between the stars means the great unity of the Chinese people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. The red color of the flag symbolizes revolution; the stars take on the yellow color in order to bring out their brightness on the red ground. "
談到文化,我能說的隻有四顆小五角星圍繞一顆大五角星,從而體現出來的我們國家大統一的思想.公元前221年秦始皇統一中國後,我們的一切都朝著統一的方向發展.統一的度量衡,統一的語言,統一的貨幣.到今天,我們全國統一的課程和考試.這樣的例子比比皆是.
我們的國旗展示的更多的是政治,而不是文化. 相對我們,韓國的國旗則有文化色彩多了.旗中間的太陽代表造物主,四周的文字代表天,地,水,火. 天地相對,水火相對.體現出天地萬物,一分為二的思想.其中的數學, 天地相加等於水火相加,體現出"萬變不離其宗的思想". 這些東方的哲學令美國人歎而觀止.
Anyway,我們一節課討論了N多國旗,大概大家也記不住details了。

旗麵的紅色象征革命,五角星用黃色是為著在紅底上更顯光明。大的那顆五角星象征著中國共產黨,四顆小五角星象征著在中國共產黨領導下的全國各族人民,也即當時的四個階級:工人階級、農民階級、小資產階級和民族資產階級。

明白了吧,小星星不是各民族,而是各階級。
不要忘記階級鬥爭喲。嘿嘿。都是玩笑了。
