Meaning of the flag of Taiwan
The three colors are tied to Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People: blue for nationalism and liberty, white for democracy and equality, and red for the people's livelihood and fraternity. The twelve rays of the sun represent the twelve months of the year and the twelve traditional two-hour periods of the Chinese day.
