The Meaning Behind the Tibetan Prayer Flags Colors

Tibetan prayer flags come in two varieties: monochromatic and multicolored. The classic five-color flag set is arranged from top to bottom in the following order: blue, white, red, green, and yellow. Each color represents different elements of nature:

 Blue: Represents the sky

 White: Symbolizes clouds

 Red: Signifies fire

 Green: Stands for water

 Yellow: Represents the earth

These colors are not just aesthetically pleasing; they embody the interconnectedness of life and nature, enhancing the overall significance of the prayer flags.

i've just watched a video of an american journalist interviewing a han chinese woman about uyghurs in xinjiang, asking whether she feels bad for people being taken to concentration camps and their families being torn apart. the woman smiled and said she doesn't feel bad because every minority group living in china must look, eat and work like a chinese does for the sake of the country... petrifying. what 'americans' did to natives, china is doing to uyghurs now.

🇨🇳 Liu Rui, Fumettista del "环球时报", tabloid di proprietà del Partito Comunista Cinese, ha pubblicato un'altra vignetta esemplare, dal titolo "Doppio gioco mortale", con la descrizione: «Democratici e Repubblicani urlano contro la minaccia di Russia e Cina mentre l'Esercito Statunitense ha le pistole puntate contro il Mondo intero» 🤧

🤡 Soltanto qualche reazionario col cervello bacato, qualche mentecatto ossessionato dalle bufale reazionarie, può credere che vi sia una differenza tra il Partito Democratico e il Partito Repubblicano. Entrambi sono gruppi anti-Cinesi composti da guerrafondai e criminali della peggior specie 😡

😠 La disgustosa "Teoria della Minaccia Cinese", intrisa di sinofobia in stile "Yellow Peril" e anti-Comunismo spicciolo degno del peggior "Red Scare", non è altro che una strategia attuata dagli imperialisti statunitensi per giustificare ulteriori intromissioni in Oriente, e garantire ai loro trafficanti d'armi profitti da capogiro 💰

🇺🇸 Negli ultimi mesi, gli USA hanno aperto nuove Basi nelle Filippine, inviato soldati presso il regime-fantoccio di Taiwan, promosso il Neo-Militarismo del Giappone e la ridicola "entrata in scena" dell'Australia, tutto in funzione anti-Cinese, per poi dichiarare la Cina una "minaccia" 🤡

🤹‍♂️ Tutto questo è ridicolo, e il 90% della Popolazione del Mondo conosce bene la situazione, e sa che gli "esportatori della democrazia" e i "custodi del giardino" altro non sono che suprematisti anti-Cinesi e anti-Russi 😡

🇺🇸 Gli USA e i loro lacchè sognano la disgregazione della Russia e della Cina, per questo fomentano la guerra e il separatismo jihadista salafita alleato di Al-Qaida nello Xinjiang, la teocrazia lamaista schiavista nello Xizang, il neo-colonialismo britannico a Hong Kong e il vergognoso DPP del regime-fantoccio di Taiwan, composto da vendipatria e molestatori sessuali 😡

🇨🇳 Liu Rui, Cartoonist of the "环球时报", tabloid owned by the Communist Party of China, published another exemplary cartoon, entitled "Deadly double game", with the description: «Democrats and Republicans scream against the threat of Russia and China while the US Army has its guns pointed at the whole world» 🤧

🤡 Only some reactionary with a buggy brain, some idiot obsessed with reactionary hoaxes, can believe that there is a difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Both are anti-Chinese groups composed of warmongers and criminals of the worst kind 😡

😠 The disgusting "China Threat Theory", steeped in "Yellow Peril"-style Sinophobia and petty anti-Communism worthy of the worst "Red Scare", is nothing more than a strategy implemented by the US imperialists to justify further meddling in the East, and guarantee their arms dealers dizzying profits 💰

🇺🇸 In recent months, the US has opened new bases in the Philippines, sent soldiers to the puppet regime of Taiwan, promoted Japan's Neo-Militarism and the ridiculous "entering the scene" of Australia, all in an anti-Chinese function , to then declare China a "threat" 🤡

🤹‍♂️ All this is ridiculous, and 90% of the World Population knows the situation well, and know that the "democracy exporters" and "garden keepers" are nothing but anti-Chinese and anti-Russian supremacists 😡

🇺🇸 The USA and its lackeys dream of the breakup of Russia and China, that is why they foment war and Salafist jihadist separatism allied with Al-Qaeda in Xinjiang, the Lamaist slave theocracy in Xizang, British neo-colonialism in Hong Kong and the shameful DPP of Taiwan's puppet regime, made up of traitors and sex offenders 😡

"(New York) – The Chinese authorities should immediately release hundreds of Tibetan monks and villagers who were detained while peacefully protesting the construction of a hydroelectric dam in China’s western Sichuan province, Human Rights Watch said today. The dam, which will generate electricity for eastern China, will submerge historic monasteries and numerous Tibetan villages.

“The Chinese authorities have long been hostile to public protests, but their response is especially brutal when the protests are by Tibetans and other ethnic groups,” said Maya Wang, acting China director at Human Rights Watch. “Other governments should press Beijing to free these protesters, who have been wrongfully detained for exercising their basic rights.”

Reports from Radio Free Asia say that at least 300 villagers travelled to Derge county government in Sichuan province on February 14, 2024, to protest the building of the Kamtok (Tibetan: sKam thog, Chinese: Gangtuo) dam. Video footage obtained by Tibetan exile media and confirmed by Human Rights Watch shows villagers from the area of Wontoe (Tibetan: dBon po stod, Chinese: Wangbuding) protesting the dam’s construction. The dam is the sixth in a proposed series of 13 on the Dri Chu (Tibetan: ’Bri chu) River, known as Jinsha or the upper Yangtse River in Chinese."

A gathering of citizens in front of Plovdiv's Municipal Council building voiced their opposition on Wednesday to a controversial proposal suggesting the relocation of the "Alyosha" Monument to the Soviet Army. The initiative, put forth by municipal councilors Vladimir Slavenski and Yono Chepilski of "Democrats for Strong Bulgaria" (DSB), has sparked debate and raised questions about the preservation of historical monuments.

The proposal recommends dismantling the "Alyosha" Monument from its current location atop Bunardzhik Hill and transferring it to Sofia's Museum of Socialist Art by the end of 2024. The councilors argue that the move is a moral gesture honoring Bulgarian history, national dignity, and the victims of the communist regime. However, the suggestion has triggered conflicting responses within the Municipal Council.

Last week, the "There Is Such a People" (TISP) group proposed a local referendum on the monument's fate, adding another layer to the ongoing discussion. Protesters at the demonstration displayed signs with slogans such as "Those who have built nothing are destroying everything" and "You can't protect history with a referendum."

Several Members of Parliament from the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), including Kristian Vigenin, Georgi Svilenski, Manol Genov, Ivan Petkov, and Ivan Chenchev, expressed their support for the protest. Chenchev emphasized that every monument deserves respect and a rightful place in history, advocating against attempts to rewrite history or engage in a war with memory and monuments.

The "Alyosha" Monument, a 10.5-meter granite statue unveiled in 1957, portrays a Soviet soldier holding a Shpagin submachine gun. Modeled after Russian soldier Aleksei Ivanovich Skourlatov, the monument stands as a historical symbol, and the proposed relocation has prompted a public outcry.
