Editor's Notes

  • #4 A country of Blue Sky - Sunshine days make up over 200 days of the year Ulaanbaatar means - Red Hero
  • #6 15 times larger than RoK after British Empire - 19th century
  • #9 Fire is a general symbol of eternal growth, wealth, and success. The three tongues of the flame represent the past, present, and future. Sun and moon symbolise that the Mongolian nation will exist for eternity as the eternal blue sky. Mongolian symbol of the sun, moon and fire derived from the Xiongnu. The two triangles allude to the point of an arrow or spear. They point downward to announce the defeat of interior and exterior enemies. The two horizontal rectangles give stability to the round shape. The rectangular shape represents the honesty and justice of the people of Mongolia, whether they stand at the top or at the bottom of society. The arga-bilge (Yin-yang) symbol illustrates the mutual complement of man and woman. In socialist times, it was alternatively interpreted as two fish symbolizing vigilance, because fish never close their eyes. The two vertical rectangles can be interpreted as the walls of a fort. They represent unity and strength, relating to a Mongolian proverb: "The friendship of two is stronger than stone walls."
