it’s a little sad this flag got scrapped in favor of the Soyombo flag that was adopted post-WW2, because it is also very loaded with national symbology, but i do ultimately understand why it happened — easier to reproduce + national symbol is more prominent and immediately recognizable: something that was very important for the MPR to signal when the KMT had been breathing down their necks since the revolution.

all symbolism aside though i do like the animal portraits though. very cute :-]
