here is one more new Lable "Korean Info". Here I'll share everything about Korea (Republic of Korea / ROK) and the first edition of Korean Info is Korean Flag.... check this out... Happy reading ^_^

The flag name is Taegeukgi (태극기)
Proportion = 2:3


The flag of South Korea, or Taegeukgi (also spelled Taegukgi in convention) has three parts:
1. a white background;
2. a red and blue taegeuk in the center; and
3. four black trigrams, one in each corner of the flag. These trigrams are carried over from the eight trigrams (Pal Gwae), which are of Chinese origin.


now lets share the trigram and it mean

The colour
The general design of the flag also derives from traditional use of the tricolour symbol (red, blue and yellow) by Koreans starting from the early era of Korean history.
The white background symbolizes "cleanliness of the people".
The Taegeuk represents the origin of all things in the universe; holding the two principles of yin and yang in perfect balance; the former being the negative aspect rendered in blue, and the latter as the positive aspect rendered in red.
Together, they represent a continuous movement within infinity, the two merging as one.
