What does the Korean flag mean?

The horizontal and vertical ratio of the Taegeuk flag (the Korean flag) is 3:2. The white ground represents the land, the Taegeuk yangyi is in the middle, and the four black hexagrams are in the four corners. The circle of Tai Chi represents the people. The upper and lower curved fish-shaped objects in the circle are red at the top and blue at the bottom, representing Yang and Yin respectively, symbolizing the universe.

Among the four hexagrams, the Qian in the upper left corner is three yang lines representing heaven, spring, east, and benevolence; the kun in the lower right corner is six yin lines representing earth, summer, west, and righteousness; the kan in the upper right corner is four yin lines sandwiched between a yang line. It represents water, autumn, south, and ritual; the Li in the lower left corner is two yang lines sandwiched between two yin lines, which represents fire, winter, north, and wisdom.

The overall pattern means that everything is in eternal motion, balance and coordination within an infinite range, symbolizing Eastern thought, philosophy and mystery.
