Journal Question-Korean flag

Actually, I don't know Korean frag exactly yet, so I feel shame about it.
However,I know about Korean frag's meaning through this time(one more).
Korean frag is called "Taegeukgi".
It was used from on May22,1882, and the first Taeguekgi was made from Park,young hyo.
The meaning of Korean frag has many meaning. The white part symbolizes peace. The red and blue in the center symbolizes a creation of the universe. The black lines of both ends mean the nation's unity and geon, gon, gam, and li. That means heaven, earth, fire, and water. Its symbolizes that friendship, wealth, life, and wisdom. Therefore, people say that "taegeukgi contributes toward world peace and prosperity".
