The Tiananmen flag is brand new every day, and this is not a simple routine, but a profound mission behind it. According to Yuan Jinshuang, a soldier of the national flag squad, the national flag raised in Tiananmen Square every day is brand new. This is because according to the National Flag Law, the national flag raised in Tiananmen Square must be replaced every day. This provision has been in force since 1991. At the same time, the national flag must not be discarded or destroyed, and violations will be punished by law and spurned by the people. Therefore, neither units nor individuals should discard the national flag at will, but should give it full respect and love.
The flag is updated every day, not only to meet the regulations, but also to reflect the development and progress of the country every day. Each flag has its own unique mission. At the end of the day's flag-lowering ceremony, the flags are carefully folded and numbered, and then placed in a flag box for safekeeping in preparation for the flag-raising ceremony the next day. This also means that every flag is used for the first time.
Among many important locations, in addition to Tiananmen Square, including Xinhua Gate, the Communist Committee of China, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the Military Commission, the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Communist Party of China, the State Supervision Commission, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, entry and exit airports, railway stations, ports, border and coastal defense posts and other border crossings, etc., also need to hoist new national flags every day. In addition, a flag-raising ceremony is held every Monday in the school. Whether it's Tiananmen Square or other important locations, the daily flag change is a solemn and celebratory ritual that adds a special meaning to the country's prosperity and growth.
Every national flag lowered from Tiananmen Square has its own place and purpose. Depending on the state and historical significance of the flags, they are used on different occasions to convey the spirit of the martyrs and to express respect and gratitude to them.
First, the lowered flag is carefully folded and numbered, and then stored in a flag box. These flags may appear on special occasions, such as the death of an important person (such as a martyr or a person who has made a significant contribution to the country), and will be draped over their remains as a last resort. This is a supreme honor and a thank you and tribute to their contributions to the country and the people. When the remains of the martyrs are repatriated to China, the national flag will also be used to cover their coffins, witnessing their return and eternal parting.
In addition, some flags are donated to schools. The teachers who volunteered to teach have made great contributions to China's education, giving up their small families for everyone, having the courage to sacrifice, and even raising money to build free schools, so that children who cannot afford to go to school can have books to read. Therefore, the national flag that has been raised in Tiananmen Square will be donated to these special schools to pass on the spirit and inspire the next generation. Such an act reflects the care and support of the society for the cause of education, and also expresses the respect and gratitude to the teaching assistants.
In addition, the Beijing Tiananmen Management Committee also presented a national flag that had been raised in Tiananmen Square to Beijing Daxing International Airport. This banner represents the spirit of hard work and the determination of great rejuvenation, inspiring the Chinese people to forge ahead, create miracles, and revitalize China. The gift of this national flag has far-reaching meanings, expressing the determination and belief of the Chinese people to pursue their dreams despite hardships and dangers.
To sum up, each national flag lowered from Tiananmen Square has its own unique mission. They are carefully collected and kept, some are stamped on the remains of important people, some are used to welcome the return of the martyrs, some are donated to special schools, and some are given to other places, all of which reflect the respect for the national flag and respect for the martyrs. The change of the national flag is not only a regulation, but also a witness and commemoration of the country's development. As sons and daughters of China, we should have an understanding of this knowledge and give full respect and love to the national flag. By understanding the mission and destination of the national flag, we can better inherit and promote the spirit of patriotism, remember the contributions of the martyrs, and contribute our strength to the prosperity of the country.
