The Constitution of the People's Republic of China stipulates that the national flag of the People's Republic of China is the five-star red flag, the national anthem of the People's Republic of China is the March of the Volunteer Army, and the middle of the national emblem of the People's Republic of China is Tiananmen Square under the illumination of five stars, surrounded by grain ears and gears.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the plenary session of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was convened to select the five-star red flag designed by Zeng Liansong as the national flag of the People's Republic of China, the "March of the Volunteer Army" composed by Tian Han and composed by Nie Er as the national anthem, and the patterns collectively created by Tsinghua University and the Central Academy of Fine Arts as the national emblem, symbolizing the new democratic revolutionary struggle of the Chinese people since the "May Fourth" movement and the birth of the people's democratic dictatorship led by the working class on the basis of the workers' and peasants' alliance, and symbolizing the great unity of the revolution under the leadership of the Communist Party. It expresses the voice of hundreds of millions of people towards the great Communist Party of China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to safeguard the dignity of the national flag, national emblem and national anthem, enhance citizens' national concepts, and carry forward the spirit of patriotism, China successively promulgated the "National Anthem Law of the People's Republic of China", "National Flag Law of the People's Republic of China", and "National Emblem Law of the People's Republic of China". On January 1, 2021, the latest National Flag Law of the People's Republic of China and the National Emblem Law of the People's Republic of China were promulgated and implemented, further strengthening the efforts to safeguard the dignity of the national flag, national emblem and national anthem, standardizing the use of the national flag, national emblem and national anthem, and cultivating and practicing the core socialist values. Through legislation and amendments, the ceremony of playing the national anthem is regulated on occasions where the national flag and the national emblem are hoisted, and acts that damage the dignity of the national flag, national emblem and national anthem are clarified and prohibited. In particular, it is worth mentioning that the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passed the National Flag and National Emblem (Amendment) Bill 2021 on 29 September 2021, which further clarifies that respecting the national flag and national emblem as a national symbol in Hong Kong is a requirement of law and a basic obligation of Hong Kong citizens, and the relevant criminal liabilities and penalties are retained for those who insult the national flag and national emblem.
With the political, economic and social development of our country, the use of the national flag, national emblem and national anthem has become more and more extensive, and it has become more and more popular in the hearts of the people, and some problems have also been encountered in the implementation of the national flag law, the national emblem law, and the national anthem law. Especially on the occasion of the 72nd anniversary of the National Day of the great motherland, the whole country celebrates, the country is safe, and every Chinese is bathed in the warm sunshine of the prosperous world and enjoys a better life, but there are some people on the Internet who use the national flag, the background of the national emblem and the use of the national anthem as a mobile phone ringtone in the WeChat avatar, resulting in the deformation of the national flag and the national emblem and the discordant sound of the national anthem. Although the National Flag Law, the National Emblem Law, and the National Anthem Law do not regard acts such as setting the national flag and national emblem as avatars and the national anthem as mobile phone ringtones as illegal prohibitions, the incorrect use of the national flag, national emblem, and national anthem, such as in trademark advertisements, daily life furnishings, and private celebrations, the use of the national flag, national emblem, and national anthem is likely to be suspected of violating the law. If it is really necessary to use the national flag, national emblem and national anthem out of patriotism, it should be used in strict accordance with laws and regulations, pay attention to maintaining the original appearance and integrity of the national flag, national emblem and national anthem, and must not be scribbled, defiled or changed in voice.
The national flag, national anthem, and national emblem are the symbols and symbols of our country, represent the authority and dignity of the country, are an important part of our country's national system, embody the history and achievements of the struggle of all the people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and are a symbol of the lofty respect and profound feelings of all our people for the party and the country and the nation.
