KOREAN FLAG
The Korean National Flag is named T'aegukki, and is the symbol of the Republic of Korea South Korea.

THE CIRCLE in the middle is the Ying and yang symbol which represents total harmony and balance. The red upper section represents the yang and the blue lower section stands for the yin.

THE FOUR TRIGRAMS surrounding the circle denote the process of yin and yang going through a spiral of change and growth. The three unbroken lines at the upper left represent heaven (kun), the three broken lines at the lower right represent earth (kon), the two broken lines with an unbroken line in the middle at the upper right represent water (kam), and the two unbroken lines with an broken line in the middle at the lower left represent fire(yi).


THE WHITE BACKGROUND of the flag symbolises the purity of the Korean people and their peace-loving spirit. The flag as a whole is symbolic of the ideal of the Korean people to develop forever together with the universe.
