Koreans associate their origins with one of the most beautiful points on the globe, the great mountain on their northern border, Paekdusan (or White-Head Mountain), with a crystal-pure volcanic lake at its summit. (The North Koreans say that Kim Jong-il was born there, even if most historians think he was born along the Sino-Russian border.)
Throughout most of its history, Korea has been invaded, influenced, and fought over by its larger neighbors. It has suffered approximately 900 invasions during its 2,000 years of recorded history. Korea was under Mongolian occupation from 1231 until the early 14th century and was repeatedly ravaged by Chinese (government and rebel) armies. The Japanese warlord Hideyoshi launched major invasions in 1592 and 1597.
Elections were held in the U.S. zone in 1948 for a national assembly, which adopted a republican constitution and elected Syngman Rhee as the nation's president. The new republic was proclaimed on Aug. 15 and was recognized as the legal government of Korea by the UN on Dec. 12, 1948.
The Republic of Korea flag was officially approved on July 12, 1948. It was planned by Young-Hyo Park and initially approved as an insignia by the Korean Empire in 1882. The ensign was proscribed throughout the period of settlement. The Taegeuk acted as an icon of confrontation and sovereignty throughout that period, and possession of it was liable to be punished by death penalty.
Such characteristics as old and new, light and dark, male and female, and good and evil are reflected in the two intertwined comma-shapes. This symbol is derived from the yin-yang of ancient philosophy; in Korean, it is known as um-yang.Surrounding the t’aeg?kare four sets of black bars, each composed of three strokes in varying combinations of broken and unbroken bars. These recall sun, moon, earth, and heaven; the four cardinal directions; the four seasons; and other concepts derived from Confucian principles.
White is a traditional color of the Korean people. The emblem in the center of the South Korean flag represents the dual forces of yin (blue) and yang (red). The yin and yang balance each other and maintain a harmonious existence by being complementary opposites, positive and negative, active and passive, male and female, night and day, good and evil and so on. Yin is the passive or static mode and yang the active or dynamic mode. The trigrams represent the elements of fire, water, earth, wood, and metal. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of South Korean Flag for the future.
