Flags in Chinatown
October 9, 2007 by Chinatown Blogger.
If you walk by Chinatown, you may have noticed the small flags hanging along with the US Flag. The other is the flag of the Republic of China or Taiwan. October 10th is National Day for ROC/Taiwan. As for the People’s Republic of China (PRC) their National Day was October 1. An enterprising business, Bao Bao on Harrison Avenue. decided to hang their own flags marketing their own pastries and drinks.
The Wikipedia entry for Double Ten Day (10/10) is:
Double Ten Day (Traditional Chinese: 雙十節; Simplified Chinese: 双十节; pinyin: Shuāng Shí Jié)is the national day of the Republic of China (ROC; now in Taiwan) and celebrates the start of the Wuchang Uprising of October 10, 1911 (1911-10-10), which led to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty. It is therefore also known in Chinese as National Celebration Day (Traditional Chinese: 國慶日; Simplified Chinese: 国庆日; pinyin: Guóqìng Rì).
