What is the purpose and significance of raising the national flag?
The national flag is an honorary symbol of a country. China's national flag represents the birth of a country and is the spirit of the combination of 56 ethnic groups. All citizens should understand that the national flag is the collective national spirit of China. However, the purpose of raising the national flag is to remind people of what has happened in China since the founding of the People's Republic of China. As a reminder, we should not forget our patriotism and make contributions to our country.

First, vigorously strengthen the national flag knowledge education, so that citizens' awareness of national flag knowledge can be raised to a proper level. At the same time, violations of the National Flag Law should be dealt with and punished.

Second, schools and government buildings are required to hang national flags on National Day and New Year's Day, and schools are required to hold flag-raising ceremonies for all teachers and students regularly. Every student should respect the national flag from an early age and stand at attention when raising it.

Third, allocate more resources to strengthen patriotism education, and stipulate that government departments should hold appropriate celebrations on the eve of National Day to enhance the national and ethnic awareness of civil servants.

Fourth, flags can be flown at half mast in mourning in case of unfortunate events with particularly heavy casualties or serious natural disasters that cause heavy casualties.

The five-star red flag is the flag of unity, revolution and victory, and the flag of the people. It represents the inviolable dignity of our great motherland. It flies freely in China's territory, territorial sea and airspace, inspiring our people to fight bravely to defend and build the motherland.
