Ming Dynasty Flag - Historical Symbol of the Great Ming Empire #3880530 (License: Personal Use)

This historical banner displays a diagonal bicolour of golden yellow (lower-left) and dark green (upper-right), divided by a black line. At the center lies a white disc containing the black Chinese character 明 (Míng), meaning “bright” or “light,” reflecting the dynasty’s founding ideology of restoring Han Chinese rule after Mongol domination. The design is rooted in traditional cosmological symbolism, where yellow signified the emperor and earth, and green represented growth and harmony.
