The red color of the flag symbolizes the revolution [1] [2] . In the upper left corner there is a five-pointed golden star framed by an arc of four smaller stars. A large star personifies the leadership of the Communist Party [2] . There is no official interpretation of the 4 smaller stars: in China itself, the interpretation is popular, according to which they symbolize four classes - the proletariat , peasantry , intelligentsia and the army . Mao Zedong himself defined [4] the four classes as "the working class, the peasantry, the urban petty bourgeoisie and the national bourgeoisie under the leadership of the working class." Four smaller stars on the Chinese flag are not parallel to each other, but point one of their peaks to a large star. At the 2016 Olympics, the organizers mistakenly used the wrong flags of China with “parallel” stars [4] , in connection with which the host of the Central Television of China Tsui Yunyuan stated that the national flag is a symbol of the country and no errors in relation to it are permissible [5] .
Other flags used in the People's Republic of China have a similar design: elements on the background of the main red color - the symbol of the Revolution. So, the flag of the Chinese army depicts a large golden star along with Chinese characters 8-1 (which means "August 1" - the date of its foundation). On the flag of the Communist Party of China, all the stars of the state flag are replaced by a party symbol - a sickle and a hammer. Cities and provinces of China cannot have their own flags according to government regulations, the only exception being made for the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau . Despite this, at least two cities set their flags after the adoption of this law. These cities - Kaifeng and Shanzhao - set their flags in March 2006 and March 2009, respectively. It can be assumed that this law is either repealed or not implemented.
