The National Emblem of the People's Republic of China

In the red circle, there is a representation of Tianamen Gate, the entrance gate to the Forbbiden City, where Mao declared the foundation of the People's Republic of China in 1949.

Upon it are represented the fifth national flag stars. The largest star represents the Communist Party of China, while the four smaller stars represent the four social classes as defined in Maoism. The design of four smaller stars surrounding a bigger one signifies the unity of the Chinese people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China.

The red color of the flag symbolizes revolution.

The outer border of the red circle shows sheaves of wheat and the sheaves of rice: they represent agricultural workers.

At the center of the bottom portion of the border is a cog-wheel that represents industrial workers.
