🇺🇿 National Flag
On 18-th of November of 1991 republic Of Uzbekistan got new national flag, consisted of 3 horizontal stripes colored in blue, white and green colors. The white stripe is fringed from below and above by red lines. Width and length ratio is two parts to one.There are white half-moon and 12 white stars on the blue stripe. The blue color in the flag symbolizes sky and water as two most important sources of life! Besides, blue color is age-old color of Turkic nation which Uzbek people belong to. The blue color was the color of the banner of the ancient Central Asian state with capital in Samarkand, with great famous Tamerlane (Amir Temur) as head in end of XIVc. and in the beginning of XV c. Thereby, the blue stripe is the symbol of vital power of the republic and sign of the historical succession. The white stripe is the traditional symbol of peace, wishing the good way (ok yul) and tendency to the moral cleanness of intentions and actions.
The green color is the color of nature, new life (“Navruz” holiday) and fertility. Also green color is the color of Islam. First appearance of this color has ancient history, when Central Asia in VIII c AD became as part of Arab caliphate, extended from France till China. Red stripes, framed middle (white) stripe from below and above emphasize the vital power of each living organism. This power links our kind, clear thoughts with everlasting sky with real actions at the earth. Besides, these two stripes are considered as “blood vessels”, nourished earth, which are Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers.
Young half-moon at the flag of Uzbekistan symbolizes new young born Muslim republic. Twelve stars in flag usually considered by all nations as symbol of cloudless sky. Clear sky is peace, light and prosperity. Honoring of the twelve stars reminds about sunny year, beginning from Navruz- the time when spring stars. The names of all months of this year (Khamal, Sovr, Djavza, Saraton, Asad etc) are at the same time the names of 12 zodiacal constellations in the sky.
It’s important to note, that symbols of 12 stars have nothing common with religious sects and senses.
According to the star’s catalogue of Ulugbek (he great statesman and astronomer of XV c.) the movement of the Sun along the sky is exactly determined with location of 12 stars. This sunny cycle of 12 years is calling “Muchal”. According to the ideas of the oriental philosophers the number of 12 is indicator of comprehensive and perfection. It is assumed that world consists of 4 elements: earth, air, water and fire, which acting in 3 levels: in earth, at the sky and between sky and earth. Four elements multiplied on the 3 levels are giving the number of 12, enveloping universe.
That’s why 12 stars in the flag we should understand as symbolic intention to the perfection. In directions of Mirsand Barak philosopher and in the work of famous historian Khondemir is telling about 12 the most important rules, which should be used in managing of the country. They are truthfulness, justice, political correctness, morality, prowess, devotion and other person"s best qualities.
