I. Significance of the National Emblem

In July 1949, the The preparatory meeting of the National Committee of the Political Consultative Conference in order to meet the founding of the new China, in the "People's Daily" published to the whole country to solicit the national flag, the national emblem and the national anthem lyrics and scores of the notice, clearly put forward the design of the national emblem requirements are: 1, to have the characteristics of China; 2, to have the characteristics of the regime; 3, the form of the solemnity of the rich and beautiful.

People from all walks of life all over the country devoted themselves to this work of historic significance. At the same time, the Department of Construction of Tsinghua University and the National Beiping Art College (changed to the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1950), which had been ordered by the central government to collect the draft of the national emblem, both set up design teams for the national emblem.

By August 20, 1949, **** had received one hundred and twelve manuscripts and nine hundred designs for the national emblem from domestic and overseas Chinese. Although these manuscripts and patterns have their own characteristics, but all have shortcomings, so they were not adopted. Therefore, at the plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) in late September 1949, only the program for the national flag and the lyrics of the national anthem were adopted, but the program for the national emblem was not announced.

Then the first committee of the CPPCC decided to invite the Department of Construction of Tsinghua University and the Central Academy of Fine Arts to organize a design competition for the national emblem.

Of these, the National Emblem Design Group of the Department of Camping Construction of Tsinghua University was headed by Professor Liang Sicheng, a famous architect and head of the Department of Camping Construction in China, and its members included Mr. Liang Sicheng's wife, Lin Huiyin, an architect, Li Zongjin, an oil painter, Mo Zongjiang, an expert in Chinese architecture, Zhu Changzhong, Wang Guoyu, Hu Yunjing, Zhang Changling, architects, and Luo Zhewen, who researched the study of ancient architecture in China, etc.?

The National Emblem Design Group of the Central Academy of Fine Arts consists of renowned arts and crafts artists and professors Zhang Ding, Zhang Guangyu, Zhou Lingzhao and Zhong Ling. In order to rush to hang the new national emblem on the National Day in 1950, experts and scholars of the two design groups, the various ideas and visions of the careful scrutiny, repeated studies. Mr. and Mrs. Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin were sick and participated in the design work.

With great excitement, everyone was determined to come up with the best design to add glory to the motherland. According to the requirements put forward by the CPPCC National Flag and Emblem Review Group and the opinions put forward by people from all walks of life, and comparing all the design proposals, the two national emblem design groups finally determined that the national emblem design has the following contents: using gears, wheat and rice ears, five stars, ribbons as the theme, reflecting the workers and peasants under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party of China and the great unity of the people of the whole country.

The Tiananmen Gate is designed as part of the theme to represent the birthplace of the May Fourth Democratic Movement and the birthplace of new China, and the Tiananmen Gate as a symbol of the national spirit.

Second, the production instructions

The "production instructions" said "gold and red", obviously different from "yellow and red". "Wheat and rice, five stars, Tiananmen Square, and gears are gold, and the base and pendant ribbons inside the circle are red.

Red for the red (the same as the flag), gold for the big red gold (light-colored and shiny gold)," the statement, explaining the "gold and red two colors" in the red only red with the flag (flag) red, "gold" for the big red gold (light-colored and shiny gold), "gold" for the big red gold (light-colored and shiny gold), "gold" for the red, red and shiny gold. The "gold" is a light-colored and shiny gold and is different from the "yellow" of the national flag (five stars). Therefore, the color of the National Emblem made according to the Production Instructions must be different from the color made according to the Pattern of the National Emblem.

Because of the General Office of the Central People's Government Committee announced the "production instructions" and the Central People's Government Committee adopted the "pattern of the national emblem," the color of the national emblem does not have a "standard answer," the people making the national emblem can only be based on their own opinions for the national emblem color. In this way, "gold and red", "yellow and red" of the coat of arms came into being.

See, the national emblem color to maintain consistency, the National Emblem Law must be amended and improved. After the amendment of the National Emblem Law, regardless of the provisions of the color of the national emblem for the "yellow and red", or the provisions of the color of the national emblem for the "gold and red", the National Emblem Law should be painted with colorful pattern of the national emblem, after all, it is difficult to illustrate the color of the national emblem only with words.

To "gold for the big red gold (light color and shiny gold)", because people have a different understanding of its production out of the "gold" is also different.
