The national flag of Mongolia reflects the deep cultural heritage and values of the Mongolian people:

• Blue Stripe: The central blue stripe is emblematic of the “eternal blue sky.”
• Red Stripes: The red stripes flanking the blue center symbolize prosperity for eternity.
• Soyombo Symbol: The Soyombo symbol positioned on the leftmost stripe is a distinctive feature of the Mongolian flag. This complex emblem encapsulates several abstract representations:
  • Fire: Often depicted as three tongues of flame at the top of the symbol, representing prosperity, the purification of growth, and the destruction of evil.
  • Sun and Moon: These celestial bodies signify the Mongolian belief in the eternity of the universe and the state.
  • Two Triangles: Pointing downwards, they symbolize the defeat of internal and external enemies.
  • Two Horizontal Rectangles: These signify honesty and justice.
  • Yin and Yang: Interpreted as two fish, as the fish are symbols representing vigilance and the notion that, like fish (which are said never to close their eyes), the spirit of Mongolians is ever-watchful and never resting.
  • Vertical Rectangle: Symbolizing the wall of a fort, it represents strength, unity, and the protection of one’s own.
