On the day Dicchu wrote, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine had been going on for a week.
I don't know how many viewers are like me. During the week, pick up your phone when you're idle and check to see if there's any latest news.
But maybe it's been too long, and I'm a little tired of it now.
So I thought: Ukraine is so popular,
My brother couldn't help but rub the ball, but what should we rub this time?
Why? The flag of Ukraine, I don't think I mentioned it yet, right?
And, what if the Ukrainian flag disappears after the end of this Russian special military operation? Right?
So today, Di Qiu will talk to you about the story behind the Ukrainian flag.
For me personally, the first contact I had with the Ukrainian flag in my life was through this footballer.
Friends who know can post their own answers on the barrage.
Yes, his name is Shevchenko.
Our Chinese fans also gave him a nickname: nuclear warhead!
In fact, the nickname is not only used to describe his unrivaled offensive firepower on the pitch, but also because Ukraine once possessed a nuclear **.
From these two ** of Shevchenko, we can see:
The home team's jersey is predominantly yellow with a small amount of blue.
The away team's jersey is predominantly blue with a hint of yellow.
Look, does this correspond to the flag of Ukraine?
The aspect ratio is 2:3.
The yellow and blue colors of the interior split the entire flag in two.
So, what do yellow and blue represent?
Take a look at this ** shot in Kherson Oblast in southern Ukraine.
Golden wheat fields and blue skies, combined with the vast black soil of Ukraine, I think there is no need to say much about the meaning of the colors of the flag.
However, friends who often watch "Di Qiuqi Asks the World" must know:
It's definitely not that simple.
First of all, there are many theories about the choice of color.
Some religious people believe that the reason for choosing yellow and blue is:
Because in the teachings of the ** religion, the dome is golden, and the blue represents the Dnieper.
It is also said that in the 17th and 18th centuries, some local Cossack hetates.
The flag is dominated by yellow and blue. Love this side!
Some scholars believe that Lviv Oblast in western Ukraine today.
Historically part of Galicia.
Yellow and blue are very common colors in Galicia.
Today it is the state flag of the Lviv region and the city flag of the city of Lviv.
There are two identical elements: a blue base and a golden lion.
But combining these three statements, the summary is:
Since blue and yellow are often found in this part of Ukraine, they continue to be used, and they also reflect the national characteristics of modern Ukraine.
The year 1848 is again in the year and it can be said that the European continent has been in turmoil this year.
A century has passed since the first industrial revolution, so the agricultural age has made great progress in terms of the living conditions of Europeans today.
Among these advances, the railway and the telegraph are two very important points.
Take France, for example. In 1840, 94 million letters were mailed in France. The telegraph made the spread of news exponentially faster.
However, the fertilizer industry was not prevalent at this time.
In 1845, as potato production declined, grain ** was pushed up.
As a result, migrant workers are forced to have no choice.
Thus, with the help of railways and telegraphs, revolutionary waves rose one after another, from the British Isles in the west to the Carpathians in the east, from the Apennine Peninsula in the south to Scandinavia in the north.
Of course, this wave also affected Ukraine at that time.
The first flag of Ukraine was also born at this time.
You read that right, it was almost identical to today's flag.
Time again came to the beginning of the 20th century, after the October Revolution, Russia established the Soviets**.
Similarly, Ukraine was formed.
Ukrainian Soviet People's Republic.
This is what their flag looks like.
Let's take a closer look at the top left corner.
At this point, yellow is on top and blue is on the bottom.
Finally, in 1922, it officially joined the Soviet Union as a republic.
From 1949 until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Ukrainian flag added a blue stripe at the bottom that was about one-third the width of the Soviet flag.
Oh, by the way to add:
The yellow color of the Ukrainian flag today, some also interpret it as the color of the sunflower, the national flower of Ukraine.
Well, at this point in the story, we seem to have almost finished talking about the Ukrainian flag.
However, when you take a look at the progress bar, you'll find out.
The story is not that simple.
No, before the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine, Putin was in a nationally televised speech.
Recognition of the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts was announced.
Of course, whether they are independent or not, whether they are recognized or not, I can't say enough here.
After all, if you really have the final say, then I will directly recognize the independence of California and Texas.
First of all, when the two oblasts of the Don and the Lu were part of Ukraine, there was also a state flag.
I'm sure you're just like me.
His attention was immediately drawn to the large black on the right.
Perhaps your first reaction is that black means black earth.
Actually, no, it refers to the huge amount of coal buried in the ground of Donetsk!
Since there is coal, we have to mine it.
Well, the flag of Donetsk, the capital of the Donetsk region, looks like this:
The flag of another independent city, Lugansk, looks like this.
It is said that both flags contain 100% "hammers"!
From the flag we can also feel:
The city of Donetsk was originally founded by coal and metallurgical workers who settled here.
* Didn't Dick mention football in the beginning?
In fact, there is a team in Donetsk called Shakhtar Donetsk.
There is also a Kharkov metalworker next to it.
By the way, when he saw the word metalworking, Di Qiu thought of his metalworking internship in college.
Speaking of which, you might be wondering:
After all, Putin's side has already recognized the independence of these two countries.
Did they have a flag when they first became independent?
Don't tell me, it does exist.
What is your first reaction when you see the flags of these two countries?
Is there a familiar sense of urgency?
I'll take out the Russian flag again, eh? This problem is solved.
Actually, from the style of this flag, we seem to be able to figure out one thing: if these two countries really become independent states, and in the future they will be recognized by the international community, then their integration into the Russian Federation may only be a matter of minutes.
Of course, whether the person is independent or not, whether he is recognized or not, this is not something we should consider.
Brother Qiu just said the national flag.
I hope you don't misunderstand it.
* There is homework at the end.
Today I mentioned that the national flower of Ukraine is the sunflower.
Do you know what China's national flower is?
