On this day of the brother's ball code word,
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine lasted exactly a week.
I don't know how many viewers are like me, during this week,
Just pick up your phone and see if there's any latest news.
But maybe it's been too long, and I'm a little tired of this now.
So I thought: Ukraine this heat,
Brother ball can not not rub, but this time we rub what?
ay? The flag of Ukraine, I don't think I said it yet, right?
Besides, after the end of this special Russian military operation,
What if the flag of Ukraine disappears? Right?
So today, Di Qiu will talk to you about the stories behind the Ukrainian flag.
For me personally, the first time I came into contact with the Ukrainian flag in my life was through this football player.
Friends who know, can hit the answer on the bullet screen.
Yes, his name is Shevchenko.
Our Chinese fans also gave him a nickname: nuclear warhead!
In fact, in addition to the nickname used to describe his incomparable offensive firepower on the pitch, it is also because Ukraine was once a nuclear country.
From these two photographs of Shevchenko we can see:
The home uniform with yellow as the main color, dotted with a little blue,
In the blue-dominated away jersey, there is a slight yellow.
You see, does this match the Ukrainian flag?
In terms of length and width, it adopts a ratio of 2 to 3,
The yellow and blue colors inside divide the entire flag equally.
So, what do yellow and blue represent?
Take a look at this photo taken in Kherson Oblast in southern Ukraine.
Golden wheat fields and blue skies,
Combined with the vast black land of Ukraine,
I don't think the meaning of the flag color needs to be said more.
However, friends who often watch the brother's ball flag and smell the world must know:
It's certainly not that simple.
First of all, there are actually many sayings about the choice of color.
Some religious people believe that the reason for choosing yellow and blue,
Because the dome in Christian teaching is golden,
Blue represents the Dnieper.
It is also said that in the 17th and 18th centuries, there were some local Cossack emirates
The flag is mainly yellow and blue. Such as this side!
Other scholars believe that the Lviv Oblast in western Ukraine today
Historically belonged to Galicia.
While yellow and blue are very common colors in the Galicia region.
Also the state flag of today's Lviv Oblast and the municipal flag of the city of Lviv
There are two identical elements: a blue base and a golden lion.
(State)
(City)
But combined with these three statements, to sum up:
Due to the frequent occurrence of blue and yellow in this part of Ukraine,
So, they were used.
And the yellow and blue also coincide with the national characteristics of modern Ukraine.
Fast forward to 1848,
This year's European continent can be described as a storm.
Since a century has passed since the first industrial revolution,
So, the Europeans here are living in terms of living conditions,
Great progress has been made in the agricultural era.
In these advances, the railway and the telegraph were two very important points.
In France, for example, in 1840, the number of mailed letters in France reached 94 million. The telegram, in turn, increased the speed at which news spread exponentially.
However, the fertilizer industry at this time is not popular.
With the reduction of potato production in 1845, the price of grain was pushed higher.
In this way, migrant workers are forced to go nowhere.
Thus, with the blessing of the railway and the telegraph,
West to the British Isles, east to the Carpathian Mountains,
South to the Apennine Peninsula, north to Scandinavia,
The tide of revolution is one after another.
Naturally, this wave also affected Ukraine at that time.
The first flag of Ukraine was also born at this time.
You read that right, it's not much like today's flag.
Time comes again at the beginning of the 20th century,
Soviet power in Russia was established after the end of the October Revolution,
Similarly, Ukraine established one at this time
Ukrainian Soviet People's Republic.
The flag goes like this.
Everyone look carefully at the top left corner.
At this point it is yellow on top and blue on the bottom.
Finally, in 1922, it officially joined the Soviet Union as a union republic.
And from 1949 to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991,
The Ukrainian flag added a blue stripe of about one-third the width to the bottom of the Soviet flag.
Oh yes, to add:
Yellow in the flag of Ukraine today,
It has also been interpreted as the national flower of Ukraine: the color of the sunflower.
Well, the story says this, as if it were about the flag of Ukraine.
However, when you look at the progress bar, you see that
The story is not that simple.
No, before the Russian-Ukrainian war began,
In his national televised address, Putin said.
The independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts was declared.
Of course, they are not independent, have they been recognized,
I don't mean to say that here.
After all, if you really say it,
Then I will directly recognize the independence of California and Texas.
First of all, when the ton and lu oblasts were part of Ukraine,
There is also a state flag.
Believe you're just like me,
The attention was immediately attracted by the large area of black on the right.
Maybe your first reaction is that black means black earth,
In fact, it refers to the large amount of coal buried under Donetsk!
Since there is coal, we have to mine it.
Thus, the flag of the city of Donetsk, the capital of the Donetsk region, is like this,
Another independent city flag chief of the city of Luhansk was like this.
It is said that the amount of "hammer" contained in the two flags has reached 100%!
From the flag, we can also feel:
The city of Donetsk was founded by coal and metallurgical workers.
At the beginning of the video, the brother ball does not mention football,
In fact, there is a team in Donetsk called the Donetsk Miners.
There is also a Kharkiv metallurgical in Kharkiv next to it.
In other words, seeing the word metalworking, Di Qiu thought of the metalworking internship in college.
Speaking of which, you might be thinking:
After all, the two states have already recognized independence on the side of Putin.
Do they have a flag that has just become independent?
Don't say, there really is.
What was your first reaction when you saw the flags of these two countries?
Is there a kind of déjà vu rushing to the feet?
I'll take out the Russian flag again, huh? This is the problem solved.
In fact, from the style of this national flag, we seem to be able to figure out one thing: if these two states really establish independent states,
And in the future has been recognized by the international community,
Then, their integration into the Russian Federation is estimated to be a matter of minutes.
Of course, people are not independent, have they been recognized,
It's not something we should think about.
Brother Ball is just talking about the national flag,
I hope you don't misinterpret it.
At the end of the video, there is homework after class.
Today I mentioned that the national flower of Ukraine is the sunflower,
So you know, what is china's national flower?
Write down your answer in the comments section.
I'm a brother ball, we'll see you next time.
