Evidence of Chinese Flags in the Light of Ancient Texts
 Liščák, Vladimír
The evidence of the fact that in China some kinds of flags or banners have been in use since the earliest history of the state can be documented from the earliest inscriptions on the oracle bones and bronzes (between 14th and 5th centuries BC). But the earliest use of banners in China refers to the mythological times, as recorded in the classical books. According these texts already the Yellow Emperor (Huang Di), a mythical ancestor of the Chinese nation, has used some kind of a banner. It was ornamented with four kinds of diurnal birds of prey or raptors: a mythical bird he (a kind of falcon), an eagle, a kite (hawk or glede) and a falcon. Also standards of some mythical tribes are mentioned in Chinese classics.
