For something made from a thin piece of cloth, flags command a tremendous amount of respect. Soldiers salute them in silence, American schoolchildren pledge allegiance to the US flag, and many nations have laws against damaging or destroying national flags. All this begs the question, “Why do we hold flags in such high regard?” To answer that, we need to look at the historical roots of this common symbol.
Historians tell us that flags originated either on the Indian subcontinent or in China during the Zhou dynasty. It appears the main purpose at that time was to identify armies as being friend or foe. In ancient China, flags featuring animals were positioned on chariots, and when cities were seized, the flag of the victors would be placed on the walls to signify that an enemy was defeated. Thus, flags were seen as important signs of power and maintenance of order.
