This is a pentagonal amulet in witchcraft, the earliest symbol in the world, used before 4000 BC. Symbols have different meanings in different environments. The Pentagon is mainly a pagan symbol, which is a symbol of nature worship before Christianity came into being. The ancients believed that the world consisted of two parts-half men and half women. This pentagon represents half of women-a religious historian calls it a "sacred woman" or a "sacred goddess". The most specific explanation is that the five-pointed star symbolizes Venus, representing women and beautiful goddesses. American horror movies clearly show that the five-pointed star is also related to demons, which is actually incorrect. Although the five-pointed star is interpreted as a demon as seen in the movie, from a historical perspective, its original female meaning is correct. But for a thousand years, the symbolic meaning of the five-pointed star has been distorted. The symbol is very flexible, and the meaning of the five-pointed star symbol was changed by the early Roman Catholic Church. As part of the Vatican's campaign to eliminate paganism and convert the public to Christianity, the Catholic Church launched a campaign to vilify pagan gods and goddesses and reinterpret their sacred symbols as evil symbols. This phenomenon is also common in troubled times. A new force will replace the existing symbols, belittle them for a long time, and attempt to completely erase their meaning. In the struggle between pagan symbols and Christian symbols, the pagans lost. Poseidon's trident became the devil's pitchfork, the conical pointed hat symbolizing wisdom became the witch's symbol, and Venus's five-pointed star became the evil symbol. Unfortunately, the military also misinterpreted the five-pointed star, and now it has become the most important symbol of war. Paint it on fighter planes and hang it on the shoulders of generals.
It must be admitted that our country and our army have indeed learned and inherited a lot from the big brother of the former Soviet Union. Of course, it also includes the five-pointed star.
On the other hand, we have to admit that the five-pointed star is the simplest and most perfect geometric pattern.
■ In ancient Greece, people used a pattern of a "big" bodybuilding man standing on a five-pointed star in a big circle to represent the perfection of the human body, which was also the "golden ratio" in the minds of artists at that time.
Many mathematicians, geometricians and philosophers at all times and all over the world have proved its perfection in their own way!
Not only the armies of all countries like to use the five-pointed star, but also there are many five-pointed stars on the national flags of all countries.
