随着全球化的推进，各国间的文化交流变得日 益频繁。旗帜符号作为一种象征，承载着丰富 的历史和文化内涵，它们能够跨越语言和文化 的障碍，传达出深刻的历史和文化内涵。为了 更好地传播旗帜文化，文章深刻阐述旗帜吉祥 物的设计理念与文化脉络，同时从实际案例的 角度出发探索旗帜吉祥物应用创新与理论创 新。旗帜吉祥物作为文化交流的使者，它有望 推动全球旗帜应用的创新与发展，也有望为国 际关系的和谐与民心相通贡献力量。 《中华人民共和国旗帜吉祥物》是以北京天安 门广场升起仪式为意象，以天安门城楼标语： “中华人民共和国万岁·世界人民大团结万岁” 为创作语境；以“祝福祖国 热爱国旗”为主 题；以五星红旗、太阳、光芒、星球等元素创 作的拟动物手法塑造了吉祥物。是世界人民大 团结旗帜吉祥物之一。 With the advancement of globalization, cultural exchanges between countries have become increasingly frequent. As a symbol, the flag symbol carries rich historical and cultural connotations, which can transcend language and cultural barriers and convey profound historical and cultural connotations. In order to better spread flag culture, this paper profoundly expounds the design concept and cultural context of the flag mascot, and at the same time explores the application innovation and theoretical innovation of the flag mascot from the perspective of practical cases. As the messenger of cultural exchange, the flag mascot is expected to promote the innovation and development of global flag application, and also to contribute to the harmony of international relations and the connection between people. The proposed “Flag Mascot of the People’s Republic of China” is based on the image of the flag-raising ceremony in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, and the slogan on the Tiananmen Gate: “Long Live the People’s Republic of China, Long Live the Great Unity of the People of the World” is used as the creation context; with “Bless the Motherland, Love the National Flag” as the theme; the mascot is created in an anthropomorphic way with elements such as the five-star red flag, the sun, light, and planets. It is one of the flag mascots of the great unity of the people of the world.

我们很高兴分享印度旗帜学协会的发展历程— —它从一项教育倡议起步，如今已成为推动全 国性运动的重要力量。我们的努力折射出印度 各地对旗帜日益增长的关注，而参与“家家有 三色旗”运动则是这一历程的重要里程碑。我 们认为，当下正是在印度更广泛普及旗帜学的 理想时机，并在此分享我们实现这一目标的愿 景。 We are excited to share the journey of the Indian Vexillological Association, which has grown from an educational initiative into a driving force in a national movement. Our efforts reflect the increasing interest in flags across India, culminating in our participation in the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign. We believe this is the ideal moment to introduce vexillology more prominently in India, and we share our vision for achieving it.

国旗是国家的标志和象征，升国旗奏唱国歌代 表着获奖国家的尊严。升旗仪式是奥运会的重 大礼仪，首要礼仪，是超越体育成绩的体现举 办国政治与文化的标志性仪式。从奥运村、残 奥村欢迎仪式升旗，到奥运会、残奥会开幕式 闭幕式升旗，到奥运会、残奥会比赛场馆的颁 奖升旗，升旗仪式贯穿奥运会全过程，其重要 性历来得到组委会的高度重视。 上述升旗仪式中最复杂的是颁奖升旗仪式，是 颁奖仪式中涉及国家主权尊严的大事，是颁奖 仪式有政治性的核心重点。颁奖升旗涉及国 旗、旗杆装置、场馆、升旗手等众多设备、诸 多要素，有很多的不可确定性，一旦出现任何 纰漏都会造成无法挽回的重大影响。 赵新风为北京奥运会设计了“中国式”颁奖升 旗仪式，对升旗装置、升旗程序、升旗动作等 进行明确规范，并培训194名颁奖升旗手。之 后，北京奥运会的升旗仪式及规范，广泛应用 于中国主办的国际赛事升旗仪式中。赵新风也 担任升旗专家负责培训这些国际比赛的升旗 手，本文以这些国际赛事颁奖升旗仪式为范 例，讲述颁奖升旗系统工作和规范。 The national flag is the symbol of a country, and raising it while playing the national anthem represents the dignity of the country. The flag-raising ceremony is a significant and primary ritual of the Olympic Games, embodying the politics and culture of the host country beyond athletic achievements. From the welcoming ceremonies, to the opening and closing ceremonies, and to the medal-award ceremonies at the venues of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, flag-raising runs throughout, and its importance has always been highly valued by the International Olympic Committee. The most complex events among Olympic flag-raising ceremonies are the medal awards, which involve national sovereignty and dignity in the ceremony and can be politically significant. The flag-raising during medal award ceremonies involves extensive equipment and elements such as national flags, flagpole devices, venues, and flag-raisers, which have many uncertainties. Therefore, any mistake and negligence may cause irreparable and significant impacts. Zhao Xinfeng designed the “Chinese-style” medal-awards flag-raising ceremony for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, standardizing the flag-raising devices, procedures, and actions, and training 194 flag-raisers for the ceremony. Since then, the Beijing Olympic Games’ flag-raising ceremony and its specifications has been widely adopted for international events hosted by China. Zhao Xinfeng also served as a flag-raising expert responsible for training flag-raisers for these international events. This article uses the flag-raising in the award ceremonies of these international events as examples to illustrate the workings and specifications of the flag-raising system.

习近平旗帜思想，是习近平中国特色社会主义 思想的重要内涵和生动实践。是习近平强军思 想、习近平外交思想、习近平法治思想、习近 平文化思想在党旗党建、爱国主义、国旗法 规、旗帜礼仪、升旗仪式、军事旗帜、旗帜文 化、国际交往等方面的有机统一和形象展现。 习近平旗帜思想形成于爱国升旗的日常工作 中，升华于北京奥运会颁奖升旗，风行于世界 旗帜学大会，展现在亲自为军种和警察授旗， 振奋在天安门阅兵旗帜方队，壮大在天安门广 场升旗改革，体现在对升旗手的关爱，规范了 全国学校升旗仪式，引领了国旗文化传播弘 扬，推动了国旗法修正，实现升旗仪式港澳台 全覆盖，让党旗在基层一线高高飘扬，是“两 个确立”的旗帜解读，是“两个维护”的旗帜 执行指南，为各级领导干部学习实践提供了全 方位的指向引领。 Xi Jinping’s thinking on flags is an organic unity and vivid manifestation of his ideas on strengthening the military, diplomacy, rule of law, and culture, as reflected in patriotism, national flag regulations, flag etiquette, flag-raising ceremonies, military flags, flag culture, and international exchanges. Xi Jinping’s thinking on flags was first formed through the routine work of patriotic flag-raising, elevated during the flag-raising at the Beijing Olympics award ceremonies, popularized at International Congress of Vexillology, and displayed when he personally presented flags to military branches and the police. It was invigorated during Tiananmen Square military parade flag formations, expanded during the reforms of the Tiananmen Square flag-raising ceremony, and is evident in his care for flag-bearers. It has standardized the flag-raising ceremonies in schools across the country, led the promotion of national flag culture, driven the amendment of the National Flag Law, extended the flag-raising ceremonies to Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, and provided comprehensive guidance for leaders at all levels to learn and practice.

旗帜者，崇拜信仰，政治主张，人心凝聚，前 进指向也。自古开国君王，兴举义兵之始，无 不建旗树纛，昭告天下，聚合民心，扫除弊 政，得以改天换地，治国安邦。而开国立基者 亲手升起国旗，翻看几千年中华史册，唯有中 国人民解放军、中国共产党、中华人民共和国 的主要缔造者和领导人毛泽东主席。 A flag represents adoration, political advocacy, unity of hearts, and direction for progress. Since ancient times, when founding emperors began to raise righteous armies, they invariably adopted flags and ban- ners to proclaim to the world, rally the people’s support, and eliminate maladministration—thus changing the world and governing the country securely. Among the founders of nations and dynasties throughout thousands of years of Chinese history, it was only Chairman Mao Zedong, the main founder and leader of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, the Communist Party of China, and the People’s Republic of China, who personally raised the national flag.

《中华旗帜文明起源初探》，是2013年我首次 参加25届鹿特丹世界旗帜学大会的演讲。经过 十多年的不断研究，又有许多新发现和新成 果。在2024第30届北京世界旗帜学大会上，做 进一步的论述。 中国是世界上已知最早使用旗帜的国家，史料 记载和出土文物均有准确记载。周朝建立后， 《周礼》对国旗、藩旗、军旗的等级、样式和 使用等进行了规范，确立了世界上最早的旗帜 礼仪和法律，标志着世界旗帜文化的起源。 三千多年来，中国礼仪文化和旗帜文化的蓬勃 发展，都与《周礼》息息相关。 中国旗帜文化也对世界各国的旗帜文化产生了 深远的影响。 In 2013, I delivered a presentation titled “A Preliminary Exploration of the Origins of Chinese Flag Culture” at the 25th International Congress of Vexillology in Rotterdam. After over a decade of continued research, new discoveries and findings have emerged, which I will further elaborate on here. China is the earliest country in the world known to use flags, with historical records and unearthed artifacts providing accurate evidence. After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the Rites of Zhou for- malized regulations regarding the ranks, designs, and usage of national flags, vassal flags, and military flags, establishing the world’s earliest flag protocol and laws, marking the origin of global flag culture. For over 3,000 years, the flourishing development of Chinese ceremonial and flag culture has adhered to the Rites of Zhou. Chinese flag culture has also exerted a profound influence on flags worldwide.

日本和中国历史上有军旗主要用汉字书写。中 世纪日本的军旗上写有神名的汉字，例如八幡 大菩萨，比写有家族徽章的武士旗帜更宽，并 通过宗教仪式赋予神的力量。写有神名的幕府 将军或天皇的旗帜被称为御旗，具有政治作用 使武士的战斗正当化。 根据 1461 年多贺高忠所著的《军事记录》，最 高指挥官和指挥官会举起旗帜，旗帜上写着神 的名字，下方是他的家族徽章。随着幕府将军 和天皇的政府权力在 15 和 16 世纪逐渐减弱， 武士领主增强了他们的权力并举起了旗帜，在 家族徽章上方写有他们所信仰的神灵的名字。 [本文荣获本次大会最佳演讲奖。] Historically both Japan and China had military flags with Chinese characters (kanji in Japanese) written on them. Medieval Japanese military banners with the kanji name of a deity, such as Great Bodhisattva Hachiman (八幡大菩薩), gained the power of the deity by religious ritual. They were twice as wide as the 13th century samurai banners with the family crest (mon). That deity-name-written banner of the shogun or the emperor was called a mihata and had a political role to justify battle with samurai. According to The Military Note, 《多賀高忠軍陣聞書》, written by Takatada Taga in 1461, the supreme commander and commanding officer raised his banner with the name of the deity written above his family crest. As the governmental power of both shogun and emperor gradually weakened in the 15th and 16th centuries, regional samurai lords strengthened their power and raised banners with the name of the deity they believed in written above their family crest.
