The spirit of the Korean flag, ``Taegeukgi``
The Taegeukgi was established as the national flag of Joseon in 1883 (20th year of King Gojong’s reign) and was promulgated as the national flag of the Republic of Korea on October 15, 1949.
The Korean flag, Taegeukgi consists of a taegeuk pattern on a white background and four edges of Geon Gon Gam Ri.
White background = Bright, pure, and clean
Taegeuk pattern = Harmony of yin and yang/ all things in the universe/the truth of nature
Gun, Gon, Gam, Ri= Sky, Earth, Water, Fire / Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter/ East, West, South, North/In, Eui, Ye, Ji /Father, Mother, Son, Daughter
In other words, the Taegeukgi is nature itself.
The Taegeuk Sagye would like to follow the spirit of the Taegeukgi with the heart that considers excellent raw materials, a unique gift given by nature, the most important.
