旗帜色彩制约国家命运 / How Flag Colors Affect National Destiny

环境能影响着事物结果，比如，人类是地理环 境的产物。在中国，环境有一个专有名词–风 水。载有色彩和图案旗帜也能构成风水。比 如，在美国内战中，擎有蓝旗的一方总是胜利 者。蓝色是蓝天的颜色，那里是上帝驻留的地 方。旗帜的混合色彩为紫色的总是拥有权力和 胜利一方。 比如，英美法俄能够成为联合国常 任理事国和世界强国，在两次世界大战中免于 失败。而混合色彩为粉色的日本和土耳其总是 失败的一方。由于意大利的旗帜混合色彩为灰 色，不能成为一流强国。德国和巴勒斯坦旗帜 顶部置有黑色色带，使德国失败于两次世界大 战，使巴勒斯坦接近亡国。因此，旗帜色彩和 图案制约着国家兴衰。 *** 中文编辑说明：林东提交的ICV30大会演讲稿分 为两部分内容，第一部分为风水和地理，与ICV 宗旨不完全符合。故论文集只收录与旗帜学术 有关的第二部分。 The environment can influence outcomes, for example, humanity is a product of the geographical environment. In China, the environment has a specialized term—feng shui. Flags bearing colors and patterns can also create feng shui. For instance, in the American Civil War, the side carrying the blue flag was victorious, as blue represents the color of the sky, where God resides. In flags, those with a purple mixed color are often associated with power and victory. For example, the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and Russia, as United Nations permanent members and world powers, avoided defeat in both World Wars. Conversely, Japan and Turkey, whose mixed flag colors produce pink, were often on the losing side. Italy, with a gray mixed color in its flag, has not achieved the status of a leading world power. Germany and Palestine both have black stripes at the top of their flags, which con tributed to Germany’s defeat in both World Wars and Palestine’s near loss of its statehood. Thus, the colors and patterns on flags influence the rise and fall of nations. *** Editor's Note: Lin Dong’s paper was divided into two parts. The first part, concerning feng shui and geography, does not fully comply with the ICV’s mission. Therefore, only the second part, which is related to academic vexillology, has been included in the proceedings here.
