英国国旗演变简史

英国国旗图案的意义你知道吗很多人都知道英国国旗图案是米字旗，但鲜少人知道英国国旗的由来。

跟其他国家一样，英国国旗是英国的主要象徵之一，但是这国旗不是一开始就长这样，而是经过演变和融合後才变成现在的图案，我们在这里就要跟大家介绍这历史悠久的国旗故事：英国国旗有两个俗称，中文俗称米字旗，英文俗称"联合杰克"（The Union Jack），Union 为联合之意，因为英国是由多个王国联合组成的国家，由英格兰丶威尔斯丶苏格兰丶北爱尔兰组成，所以这里的Union 代表的就是英国。

至於Jack 是代表什麽呢？绝对不是人名的杰克，这里Jack代表"舰艏旗"，是一种英国早期悬挂在船头的旗帜，用来标识船的国籍身为一个联合王国，英国国旗图案是由这几个区域的代表旗帜所合并而成。

此旗产生於1801年，白底红色十字旗是代表英格兰守护神圣乔治，蓝底白色交叉十字旗代表苏格兰守护神圣安德鲁，白底红色交叉十字旗则是代表爱尔兰守护神圣派翠克。

那为什麽国旗里没有威尔斯的红龙旗帜呢？那是因为威尔斯在早期已被认为是英格兰的一部分，因此并没有出现在当时的英国国旗上。

如果仔细观察会发现，英国国旗图案并非左右完整对称的，里面有着细微的差别。

米字内的交叉的红白线是有宽窄之分，这样可以避免将国旗挂反。

正确的悬挂方法是以旗杆为准，靠近旗杆的两条红白双色米字条纹，位於上方的应该是比较宽的白色区域，红色条纹则靠近下方。

你一定会很好奇为什麽红色条纹要斜向一边，而不和白色条纹直接对称呢？那是因为红色交叉条纹是来自爱尔兰旗，而白色交叉条纹则是取自苏格兰旗，所以如果把红条置於白条正中央，看起来会像红色线条旁边加上两条白色附加线，这样会造成爱尔兰的地位优於苏格兰的争议，所以才有此巧妙设计，让两者的代表旗志都能凸显出来。

The exact origins of the Flag of England are unclear and there are multiple supporting theories, though it is known that the flag appeared during the Middle Ages. It has been recorded that the first known recorded use of the St George's Cross as an emblem (but not as a flag) of England was in a roll of account relating to the Welsh War of 1275.[1]The use of a red cross on a white background was a symbol of St. George in the Middle Ages. This is seen, for example, in the flag of Georgia, another nation with St George as patron saint.The first theory states that the flag was adopted during the Crusades. At the beginning of the Crusades, St George's red cross on white was already associated with England.Although the Pope decided English crusaders would be distinguished by wearing a white cross on red, and French crusaders a red cross on white (Italian knights were allocateda yellow cross on a white background),[2] English knights soon decided to claim instead"their" cross of red on white, like the French. In January 1188, in a meeting between Henry II of England and Philip II of France, the two rivals agreed to exchange flags (France later changed its new white cross on red for a white cross on a dark blue flag).[3] Some French knights carried on using the red cross however, and as English knights wore this pattern as well, the red cross on white became the typical crusader symbol regardless of nationality.[4]St. George seen in the act of slaying the dragon. He is depicted wearing a surcoat displaying the St.George's Cross.A second theory states that St. George's cross was originally the flag of Genoa and wasadopted by England and the City of London in 1190 for their ships entering theMediterranean to benefit from the protection of the powerful Genoese fleet. The maritime Republic of Genoa was rising and going to become, with its rival Venice, one of the most important powers in the world. The English Monarch paid an annual tribute to the Doge of Genoa for this privilege.[1]The St George's cross may not have achieved the full status of national flag until the 16th century, when all other saints' banners were abandoned during the Reformation.Thereafter it became recognised as the flag of England and Wales. The earliest record of St George's flag at sea, as an English flag in conjunction with royal banners but no other saintly flags, was 1545.[1][edit] Incorporation into the Union FlagThe Flag of England is one of the key components of the Union Flag. The Union Flag has been used in a variety of forms since 1606,[5] when the flags of the Kingdom of Scotland and Kingdom of England were first merged to symbolise the Union of the Crowns.[6] (The Union of the Crowns having occurred in 1603). In Scotland, and in particular on Scottish vessels at sea, historical evidence suggests that a separate design of Union Flag was flown to that used in England.[7]However, following the Acts of Union of 1707, which united the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England, the 'English' version of the Union Flag was adopted as the official flag of the unified Kingdom of Great Britain.[8]From 1801, in order to symbolise the union of the Kingdom of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland, a new design which included the St Patrick's Cross was adopted for the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.[9] This new design, having remained unchanged following the partition of Ireland in 1921 and creation of the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland, continues to be used as the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.The Saint George's Cross. In the Union Flag this represents England and Wales, (Wales & Englandunified C16th).The 'Scotch' Union Flag mayhave seen limited use inScotland from 1606 to 1707,following the Union of theCrowns.The Union Flag, 1606 (King'sColours), used mostly inEngland and, from 1707, theflag of the Kingdom of GreatBritain.Union Flag, 1801, incorporatingCross of Saint Patrick,following Union of GreatBritain and Kingdom of Ireland.[edit] Usage within English cultureEnglish Rugby team supporter waving the English flag in the streets of Nantes, France in 2007.Since 1996, the English flag has become more affiliated with supporters of the English football team with 27% of English adults having bought a flag during the 2006 World Cup.[10]The flag is also seen during other sporting events in which England competes, for example during England Cricket matches (the Cricket World Cup and The Ashes) and during Rugby Union matches.[11]Before 1996, most of the flags waved by supporters were Union Flags (it is now arguable that this situation has now reversed).[12]It is sometimes used on the web to indicate an English-speaking portion of a site.[13]This has the advantage of not choosing between the flags of the two major english-speaking countries (those of the USA and the UK).[edit] Far RightIn recent years, the flag of England had come to be associated with far-right political groups such as the British National Party and the National Front. This has partially been reversed, however it is still said that there is a lot of political correctness about displaying the flag.[10][14]Many black people living in England have stated that they still view the flag with suspicion: during a poll of readers of New Nation, "most black people interviewed said they felt alienated by the flag of St George and still associated it with the BNP".[10] Despite this, some young, non-white people have been reported displaying the flags in support of the football team.[15][edit] Church of EnglandChurches belonging to the Church of England (unless for special reasons another flag is flown by custom) may fly the St George's Cross. The correct way (since an order from the Earl Marshal in 1938) is is for the church to fly the St George's cross, with the arms of the diocese in the left-hand corner of the flag.[16][edit] Outside EnglandSee also: St George's CrossDue to the spread of the British Empire, the flag of England is/was used on various flags and coats of arms of different countries, states and provinces throughout the world, which were once ruled by Britain.。

环球旅居关于英国国旗你知道多少英国，全称为the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland，想在此详细的介绍一下英国国旗的含义。

英国国旗称为“the Union Flag”，俗称“the Union Jack”，现有的设计从1801年开始使用，一直延续至今没被改变。

旗子包括了三种颜色：红，蓝，白，象征着英国不同的“国家”，之所以英国叫做United Kingdoms，也就是因为它是由不同的Kingdoms组成的，国旗中包含了英格兰，苏格兰，威尔士和爱尔兰。

没错，是爱尔兰，不是北爱尔兰，因为英国国旗Union Jack是英格兰、苏格兰、爱尔兰在1800年根据联合法案Act of Union联合组建大不列颠及爱尔兰联合王国以后出现的，圣帕特里克旗是爱尔兰国旗而不是北爱尔兰国旗，自从南北爱分裂以后，北爱不再以圣帕特里克旗为象征，而是以阿尔斯特旗（红手旗）为象征，南爱也停止使用圣帕特里克旗而改用橙白绿三色旗，但是圣帕特里克节作为爱尔兰国庆日在南北爱都保留了下来。

虽然南爱独立但是北爱作为爱尔兰的一部分仍然留在联合王国，所以作为爱尔兰象征的圣帕特里克旗并没有从米字旗中除去。

英国的国旗，可远远不止为只是图案，其中也是有内涵的，它是由英格兰，苏格兰和北爱尔兰的旗子组合出来的“结合体”，下面就先来讲讲各个“国家”的代表旗帜。

上述的每个“国家”，都有当地的“守护神”或“代表”，所以每年各地也会有同名的节日。

英格兰的“保护神”是St George（庆祝日为每年的4月23日），他的旗帜是白底红十字架。

苏格兰的“保护神”是St Andrew（庆祝日为每年的11月30日），他的旗帜是蓝底白叉。

威尔士的“保护神”是St David（庆祝日为每年的3月1日），他的旗帜是黑底黄十字架。

爱尔兰的“保护神”是St Patrick（庆祝日为每年的3月17日），他的旗帜是白底红叉。
