How did the design of the national emblem of Japan come from?

The national emblem of Japan is the royal emblem. In Japan, because the official national emblem has not been established by law, it is customary that the family emblem of the Japanese royal family (Tian royal family) is "sixteen petals and eight heavy chrysanthemum patterns", that is, the chrysanthemum crest is used as the representative national emblem of Japan.

Introduction of badges of other Japanese representatives:

1. The representative badge "May 7th Indus River Pattern" used by the Japanese Cabinet is also often used as the national emblem in international occasions and government documents, such as the shading of Japanese entry permit stickers.

2. The cover of Japanese passport adopts "sixteen petals and one heavy chrysanthemum pattern", which is similar to the chrysanthemum coat of arms. Although the number of petals of chrysanthemum is the same, there is one less layer of flowers, which is not exactly the same as the royal chrysanthemum coat of arms.

Japanese national emblem pattern chrysanthemum allusions:

At the end of the 8th century, Japan moved its capital to Beijing (Kyoto). Heian period, a turning point in Japanese history, has begun. In the early years of the Heian Dynasty, the royal family, even officials, nobles and literati admired the beauty of chrysanthemums. The Double Ninth Festival in September in China is also called Chrysanthemum Festival in Japan. On this day, the Crown Prince led all officials and courtiers to visit the emperor in Chenzi Hall, and the monarch and his subjects enjoyed chrysanthemums and drank chrysanthemum wine.

In June 5438+10, the emperor held a banquet for broken chrysanthemum, and invited ministers to practice it. Perhaps the chrysanthemum on the national emblem of the Japanese royal family was carved at this time. At that time, the memory left by the Ping 'an Dynasty seemed to be chrysanthemums and crab fat. Chrysanthemum is a symbol of the dignity of the Japanese royal family, so chrysanthemum is designated as the national flower of Japan, which is deeply influenced by the royal concept.
