The flags tri colors, red, blue and yellow goes beck to a very early Korean history. The white banckground symbolizes cleanliness and purity, the red symbolizes the positive of all things, and the blue the negative. In other words the colors together symbolize the balance of all things, and together these three colors represent the continuous movement within infinity.

 The four trigams have there beginnings in the Chinese books of I Ching and these represent the philosophical ideals, that of symmetry, harmony, circulation and balance. These four trigams  are also traditionally related to the elements of water, earth, wood, meta, and fire.

The red and Blue symbol is also steeped in history and philosophy the form is derived by measuring the length of the suns shadow when the lines are drawn for mthe middle of the sun and drawn as if the parchment were impaled by a shadow casting stick.  This is placed on the flag in honor of the accurate record keeping that was begun by King Sejong in the 13th century.
