I have a related question: What does the average Chinese Person think about the Flag of the Qing Dynasty? When you see the yellow flag, how does it make you feel? I have a Qing Flag and I would put it up, but I don't want to offend anybody.

Thank you for that interesting question. It is also partially related to portrait topics, same as lions colors etc. Here is the explanation in the shortcut: "The new constitution, led by Sun Yat-sen, created a new flag with yellow, blue, black, white, and red parallel stripes referred to as the Five Colored Flag to symbolize the five races of Chinese people: Mongols (blue), Manchus (yellow), Tibetans (black), Hui (white), and Han (red)" /to readers who are not familiar with that topic/. Some colors are also related to secret societies or triads too. Today, an average Chinese person who doesn't know much about the past history simply follows the political and social trends but much older generations may feel offended. We have had in our school modern made flags with red and yellow colors and black characters but it was made only to fit modern advertising and attract the public during shows. If you know what you're doing and can protect and explain in a way, that makes sense, then why not ?
