Flagolden popularize flag etiquette for you

The national flag is a national symbol and a symbol of the country. It reflects a country's political characteristics and historical and cultural traditions through certain patterns, colors and patterns. In a sovereign state, the flag of another country is generally not allowed.
In international communication, some common customs are established, which are recognized by all countries. The national flag should be hoisted on or outside the building. When the flag is suspended, the usual practice is to lower the flag, which is to reach the top of the pole, and then descend to the place where the pole is about a third of the length of the pole. In some countries, the flag is not lowered, but it is draped over the national flag. When raising or lowering the national flag, it is necessary to put the hat on the head and raise the flag to the top of the pole. The flags of both parties shall be displayed in accordance with international practice. The national flag of the two countries is hung, the flag itself is subject to the standard, and the national flag is displayed on the right, and the national flag is displayed on the left. When the flag is displayed on the car, the driver's left hand is the main one and the right hand is the guest. The so-called host is not based on the host country, but is based on the host of the event. The flag cannot be hung upside down. The national flag of some countries cannot be hung up or hung up because of the text and pattern. In some countries, it is clear that there is a need for another flag, and the pattern is correct.
National flag design, style, color, proportion shall be prescribed by the constitution, the national flag of different countries such as the ratio is different, the same size, two flags together, will appear different sizes, different proportions of flag, side by side, therefore, should be slightly enlarged or reduced to one side.
On formal occasions, flag sorting is often seen as the most sensitive and critical issue of flag etiquette.
In practice, sequencing refers to the national flag of China and the other flags or foreign national flag be displayed at the same time the specific order of arrangement, in particular, it should be divided into Chinese and other flags sorting, Chinese and foreign flag sorting these two specific issues
1. Domestic ordering
The arrangement of the national flag and other flags refers to the order in which the flag is displayed in the same order as the special flags or flags of other organizations or units. In domestic activities, such a scenario is seen. China's national flag law specifically stipulates that the national flag should be displayed in a prominent position. In general, the ordering of our national flag and other flags has the following three common situations.
1. Tandem.
When the national flag and other flags are arranged in front and back, it is necessary to put our national flag in the front row.
Arrange side by side.
The national flag and other flags are hoisted side by side. There are two specific situations:
One, a flag is tied with another flag. Its standard practice is that the national flag should be placed on the right side, and second, a flag is tied with other flags.
And the last one. When the national flag is arranged in different states with other flags, it is customary to put the flag in a higher position.
Foreign order
In some special cases, foreign flags may be displayed in our territory. Therefore, there appeared the problem of the ordering of Chinese and foreign flags. When dealing with this issue, the grass-roots civil servants must abide by the relevant international practice and the express provisions of the ministry of foreign affairs.
1. The rules for the promotion of foreign flags. Only under the following circumstances can a foreign flag be used in the People's Republic of China.
First, foreign embassies and consulates in our country and other diplomatic representative offices, and the residence and transportation facilities of the principal officials.
Second, the foreign heads of state and head of government, vice head, speaker and vice speaker of the commander in chief, foreign minister, secretary of defense, or chief of staff, led by the government of the delegation is secretary, heads of state or government sent envoys, held by its public identity official visit to China by one of the important activities.

Its six, foreign government aid projects and the important ceremony of the big three - funded enterprises, major celebrations.
Its seven, foreign invested enterprises, foreign other resident Chinese institutions.
In addition, under normal circumstances, only the national flag of the country that officially establishes diplomatic relations with China can be promoted in the outdoor or public places of our country. If there is a special reason for the hoisting of the national flag, it shall be approved by the foreign affairs office of the people's government of the province, city and autonomous region in advance. At no time shall the flag of the republic of China be suspended.
2. Restrictions on the promotion of foreign flags. In order to safeguard China's national sovereignty, foreign flags should be limited even if they are legally promoted in China.
First, the foreign flag that is hoisted in our country must be standard, the country case is correct, the color is bright, it is intact, it is the right and lawful foreign flag.
Secondly, in addition to foreign embassies and consulates and other diplomatic representative offices in China, all foreign flags in China should be displayed at the same time.
Third, in China, the Chinese flag must be displayed at the same time when the national flag is raised.
Fourth, foreign nationals are not allowed to raise their national flag in outdoor and public places in China. The National Day may be the exception, but the Chinese flag must be displayed at the same time.
Fifth, in China, the Chinese flag should be placed in honor when the national flag is displayed alongside the national flag. Foreign institutions in China, foreign investment enterprises and foreign citizens must place the Chinese flag at the top or center of the country when they are simultaneously hoisted into the Chinese and foreign flags. If a foreign-invested enterprise simultaneously raises the Chinese flag and enterprise flag, it must place the Chinese flag at the center, high or prominent position.
When the Chinese national flag and the foreign flag are displayed, each national flag should be made according to the proportion of the national flag.
The flag pole should be unified when the national flag is juxtaposed. The flag of the two countries cannot be hoisted on the same flagpole.
3. Ordering of Chinese and foreign flags juxtaposed. The ranking of Chinese national flag and foreign flag is divided into two specific situations: bilateral arrangement and multilateral arrangement.
One, bilateral arrangement. China stipulates that when the Chinese and foreign flags are to be held in China, the foreign flag should be placed at the top of any event sponsored by the Chinese side. The Chinese flag shall be placed at the top of any event hosted by the foreign party. The following is an example of the three commonly used arrangements in China.
The national flag of China and foreign countries, whether on the ground or on the wall, should be based on the national flag and the right side.
The second is the cross suspension. On formal occasions, the national flag of the two countries can be folded on the table and suspended. At this time, the national flag should still be oriented to the right side.
The third is vertical suspension. Sometimes, Chinese and foreign flags can be mounted vertically. At this moment, the national flag should also be oriented to the right side. There are two specific ways for the national flag of China and foreign countries to be hung up, either in front of the other side, or on the opposite side of the national flag. It should be pointed out that the national flag of certain countries can neither be hung up nor hung back because of patterns and words. Some countries stipulate that their national flag should be raised in another flag.
Second, multilateral arrangements. When the Chinese flag in the territory of China and the other two or more than two national flag, and displayed by the regulation should make our country flag is in the following honorary position: one column, side by side with highlighted oriented concept, the Chinese national flag should be in the right hand side. The Chinese flag should be at the front of the line. The Chinese flag should be at the center of the arc or from the middle to the sides. In the round arrangement, the Chinese flag should be at the center of the rostrum (or main entrance).
