flag Poles and Flags - China
Banners and flags, including giant flags, have been displayed as a means to signal or identify for centuries, if not thousands of years. It is claimed that the first flags were produced and displayed in Asia. Interestingly, flag poles of all kinds have been around for a lot period of time as well.
Most countries in our world today have a beautifully designed flag or banner that identifies with the respective countries. China, for example, shows a red colored background otherwise known as flag field with on the left five gold stars, with one star being larger than the other four. During the Olympic games of the year 2008, the Chinese flew national banners, including giant flags, from both residential and commercial type flag poles all over the country.
Like other flag colors, the color red displayed on Chinese flags represents the revolution of the past. All stars represent the Chinese people who live under rule of the Communist Party of China and have done so for years. Those familiar with flags also commonly refer to this beautiful flag as the "Five Star Red Flag."
The national flag of China is not the only flag that displays a substantial red colored field. There are quite a few other national banners (in different parts of the world) that also display a red background. At the time, the Soviet Union (also referred to as USSR) flew a red colored banner from flag poles. Interestingly, this flag had a hammer crosses with a sickle as well as red colored star on the left portion (next hoist side) of the flag.
Interestingly, and even though flags and banners have been around for as long as they have, the national banner of China is relatively young. Following the Chinese civil war, towards the end of the first half of the 20th century, the flag design was chosen from among thirty eight other designs / contestants that participated in a competition organized by the so called "Preparatory Committee."
Following completion of the first production of the Chinese flag, it was first raised and flown from a flagpole under direction of Mao Zedong, back in 1949. Interestingly, it was during that same occasion that the People's Republic was first presented to the Chinese people.
Most flags, including giant flags, are produced using the latest in manufacturing technology. Flags flown from flag poles in residential, commercial and especially industrial areas are subject wear and tear.

Flags and Flagpoles - Iceland
The national flag of Iceland displays nicely from flag poles. Like other countries, Iceland also has flag etiquette guidelines and laws with regards to its national banner. It was officially described in Icelandic law the day this country became a republic, back in 1944, which year also included the WW2 battle of "D-Day."
Interestingly, the first Iceland flag flown from a flagpole was a flag that displayed a white cross on a blue colored field. It was first displayed from flag poles and other objects during the final years of the 19th century.
The current national banner is slightly younger (obviously) and was first shown in 1915. At that time a red colored cross was inserted into the white cross of the first original banner. This version of the flag was adopted three years later, and following the country's independence from Denmark, it became the national flag.
The national flag of Iceland displays a red colored cross within a white cross on a (dark) blue-ish colored field or background. It is said that this banner represents the astonishing landscape of Iceland. The three colors represent the three elements found in and around this beautiful country and island; the color red symbolizes fire, white ice and snow, and blue the water of the ocean that surrounds it.
The national flag is attached and flown from commercial and residential flagpoles throughout the Iceland, as well as other places, including the headquarters of the United Nations in New York. The island is located a few hundred miles southeast of Greenland and counts some 300 plus thousand inhabitants, covering an area of a little less than 40,000 square miles. Its capital is called Reykjavik and is the largest city of the country. During the last year, Iceland was plagued by volcanic activity that disrupted air travel all across the globe.

Banners and Flagpoles - The National flag of Japan
Japan is one of my favorite countries in the world in terms of culture and history. Their respective flag as shown on flag poles of all kinds, displays a red disk on a white background. Not surprisingly, the red colored disk symbolizes the sun and is position exactly in the middle of the flag. Unlike other historical flags, the flag of Japan knows quite a bit of controversy with regards to its meaning, especially in Japan.
Referred to as "Nisshoki," but more commonly as the "Hinomaru," this fascinating banner was adopted officially back in 1999, a little more than one decade ago. Interestingly, no earlier official national flag was really in existence before that time. However, back in the 19th century, 2 proclamations issued by the so called "Daij-kan," each had a provision for a new design of the national banner. In 1870, the sun-disk flag was accepted as the national flag for merchant vessels at sea as well as flown from flagpoles by on vessels under rule of the Japanese Navy.
Different representations or perceptions of the banner are in existence. To some inhabitants of Japan, the flag is said to be a fitting representation of the territory. To others, the flag is said to symbolize the events surrounding World War 2. In fact, the use of both the anthem and the flag has been cause of contention for public schools in Japan ever since World War 2. The flag is not flown from flag poles and such often because it is also said to associate with extreme forms of nationalism.
Like other flags of different countries, including flags of Europe, the Japanese flag has specifics in terms of proportion and color. According to Japan's ministry of defense, the red color is listed as 5R 4/12 of the so called Munsell color chart.
Japan is represented by one of the more interesting historical flags in the world, if you ask me. The earliest recorded flags in the history of this country date back to the unification period of the sixteenth century. The very first national banner was adopted was attached to a flag pole back in 1870.
