Underneath the flags is the message: "Long live the five races under one union" (??????????????????) with the five races refering to the five nationalities of China represented by the Five-Color Flag of the Republic.
Five races under one union (Chinese language|Chinese: ????????????, literally ???five races together??????) was one of the major principles that the Republic of China was originally founded upon. This principle emphasized the harmony of the five major ethnic groups in China as represented by the colored stripes of Flag of the Republic of China| Five-Colored Flag of the Republic: the Han (red), the Manchus (yellow), the Mongols (blue), the Hui (white), and the Tibetan (black).
The concept of ???five races under one union??? started to end when the control of the ROC government was wrestled from the Beijing-based Beiyang warlord government by the Nanjing-based Chinese Nationalist government after the Northern Expedition.
