CHINESE WARRING STATES

ARMY AND UNIT STANDARDS

A large variety of flags were used during the Warring States period, both for signalling and

to raise morale.

Army Divisions and Commanders were distinguished by Flags, and each unit was identified

by smaller flags of different colours.

During the Warring States period it was believed that the Army was divided into 5 Divisions.

The Divisions were represented by a system of Flags.

     LEFT WING      Green Dragon

RIGHT WING       White Tiger

VANGUARD         Red Bird    

    REARGUARD         Black Tortoise 

C-in-C with BODYGUARD      Great Bear Constellation.

I'm not sure how these were represented, but rather than images it has been suggested that

the animal would be represented by Chinese calligraphy.

I will try and find out some examples and more details later.

 

 Individual State Calligraphy can be found on the

History Section

I like to represent Army flags with the state symbol on the State colour background.

Then a coloured border to represent the Army Division.
