Hey Flag! —Asia

嘿，国旗！--亚洲

Hey, flag! Tell us about yourself! I am the Hinomaru, which means “ sun disc. ” The sun disc, which is actually my red circle, has been the symbol of Japan for centuries. Many Japanese flags have used the sun disc. You may have seen a different flag in a war movie. It is called the Rising Sun.

嘿,国旗!跟我们说说你自己吧!我是太阳旗，意思是"太阳圆盘" 太阳圆盘，也就是我画的红圈，几个世纪以来一直是日本的象征。许多日本国旗都使用了太阳圆盘。 许多日本国旗都使用了太阳圆盘。你可能在战争电影中看到过不同的旗帜。它被称为旭日。

The Japanese navy used it during World War II. Some people think that it was the Japanese national flag during the war, but they are mistaken. The Rising Sun was only a military flag. I have been the Japanese flag for a long time. In the year 1274, the Mongols attacked Japan.

日本海军在第二次世界大战期间使用它。 有些人认为这是战争时期的日本国旗，但他们错了。 旭日旗只是一面军旗。我当日本国旗已经很长时间了。 1274年，蒙古人进攻日本。

Nichiren, a Japanese Buddhist priest, presented a sun flag to a very powerful Japanese warrior. He believed that with this symbol, the Japanese could defeat the Mongols. Ever since then, the sun disc has been an important symbol for the Japanese. Hey, flag! Tell us about yourself. I am the flag of the People’s Republic of China.

日连是一位日本佛教僧侣，他向一位非常强大的日本武士赠送了一面太阳旗。 他相信有了这个象征，日本人就能打败蒙古人。 从那时起，太阳圆盘就成为日本人的重要象征。 嘿,国旗!跟我们说说你自己吧。我是中华人民共和国的国旗。

I have been used since 1920, but I looked a little different back then. I got my new look in 1949. Red is the color of the Communist Revolution, which happened almost one hundred years ago. During the revolution, many people died to make China a communist country. In a communist country, the goal is for all the people to be treated equally and for them to share all the wealth.

我从1920年开始使用，但那时我看起来有点不同。1949年我有了新的面貌。 红色是共产主义革命的颜色，它发生在大约一百年前。 在革命期间，许多人为了使中国成为共产主义国家而牺牲。 在一个共产主义国家，目标是让所有的人都被平等对待，让他们分享所有的财富。

So the Chinese people are proud of my red color. I have five yellow stars. The large star represents the Communist Party of China. The Communist Party leads all the Chinese people. The four small stars represent the Chinese people.

所以中国人以我的红色为荣。我有五颗黄色的星星。 大星星代表中国共产党。共产党领导全体中国人民。 四颗小星星代表中国人民。
