South Korea Flag - Symbolism, History, and Meaning of the Taegeukgi #156015 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of South Korea, or Taegeukgi, features a white field symbolizing purity and peace, a central red-and-blue taegeuk representing the duality and harmony of opposing forces (yin and yang), and four black trigrams (gwae) in each corner denoting heaven, earth, fire, and water. Adopted in 1883 and reinstated after liberation in 1948, it reflects Confucian and Taoist cosmology. Its design emphasizes equilibrium, virtue, and the dynamic interplay of natural forces.
