About Xihai




Monster has been very boring of late, only talking and complaining of how bad his life in the army is. So now I'll take this opportunity to tell all the people here more about Xihai! First of all, above here is the Xihai national flag. I guess this warrants some explanation or significance for such a design, so here we go:


First of all, is the red/yellow circle thing. That's the setting sun, against the backdrop of the sky and the sea! Since the sun sets in the West, therefore logically, it is setting in the West sea. Thus the name, Xihai, which means "West Sea" in Chinese, which is also one of the official languages, the other two being Russian and English (English less so, unfortunately).


Now onto greater details about the individual colours! They hold a tremendous amount of significance, so do not just dismiss them as aesthetic material!


Orange symbolises the change and vibrancy of our society, pushing on our nation to greater heights.

Blue conveys the importance and confidence of our proud country.

Red denotes the raging passion and patriotism of the people for our country.

Yellow is in rememberance for all the soldiers, past and present, that fought valiantly for our nation. It is no coincidence that both yellow and red exist in the same circle.


So there it is for a brief lesson about Xihai: See you next time for more educational posts!
